threes

three recs

art: Final Images by astridv
why: exquisite execution and design and funny to boot

fic: When The Cliches Have You by live_brave
why: because "aliens made them do it" is such a marvellous excuse (gen, team, S4)

meta: How To Be A Fandom Jerk In Just A Few Easy Steps by mtgat
why: because one should always know how to be a jerk when discussing the delicate topics of sexism and racism in fandom

three thankyous to Teyla-fans

ladyjax for being the first person I met who loved and focused on Teyla as much as I did.

lyssie for always being one of the first people to sign up for anything Teyla-focused I run, although she plays in entirely different circles.

ileliberte for encouraging me to do evil and loving Teyla from the slash-side of fandom.

Dangit. I just signed up to write a woodland fairy AU for the Team AU Ficathon.

I'd blame you, but I know I just lack willpower.

If two characters of color are shown in a knock-out, drag-down brawl while the other (white) characters are standing around, cheering and betting on the outcome. . .

Wow, actually know this scene that occurred in a very recent episode of my favorite show. I totally didn't see it that way, but immediately thought of that scene when I read the article. :/ Hmm. . .
