(no subject)

I don't get writer's block - why do I have it *now* with a week to go before my yuletide story is due and nothing written?!

Also - why are the people on sgastoryfinders always looking for stories where John's a complete bastard, and particularly where he's a complete bastard to Rodney after Trinity which is (a) totally unsupported by canon (b) totally unsupported by John's characterisation (c) totally unsupported by *Rodney's* charcaterisation, since he's usually the poor defenseless, helpless guy who hides away in his room because no-one *looves* him (d) kind of offensive to their whole trade off saving each other's lives thing and (e) something else that I now can't remember. I mean, I get that fandom is full of people who think Rodney is a poor tragic woobie who just wants to be loved but good God, could people please get a grip and stop with the whole John's evil and horrible and doesn't care about him thing? Have they *seen* the way John looks at Rodney lately?

Also also - Rodney's hardly blameless in Trinity, he nearly blew up himself and John after promising John could trust him. John saying Rodney can earn back his trust is a fairly reasonable reaction, not an indication that he's planning to shun Rodney even through Rodney being injured/sick/suicidal/attacked etc.

And while we're on the subject of Atlantis - could someone please gag Mallozi and give him mittens so he can't type? As much as I love the idea that Vega was gay and into Keller (which, ha! I totally called that in Search and Rescue) it's offensive to say that now they've kiled her. And also - people can just go on thinking that x character who's gay in his head is straight until Mallozi reveals who it is? Yeah, I think there's a pretty good chance that at least some of us are happily thinking he's gay, and seriously, he'd have been better off saying nothing.

That said, I still respect Atlantis more than almost any other show on tv at the moment, because John once asked Ronon if he was seeing a woman or a man like it was a totally normal thing to be asking, and how many shows have you seen lately where the possibility of someone being in a same-sex relationship is just a passing comment, not a major plot point? (I don't count Torchwood, because it has its own skeevy sexuality issues. Don't ask me about them if you actually like the show or John Barrowman). It's unspeakably depressing that it takes such a small acknowledgment of the existence of gay people to make me respect a show.

Okay, now I feel better. No less stuck, but better for ranting :)
