We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Huh. I'd never seen Bed before--or if I did, I forgot. That was fun.

for the length of the vid I totally buy that the three of them have the most uncomfortable triangle ever. And then Jack says "screw this, I'm gonna go have sex with Teal'c."

Huh. Yeah, except the last scene is actually Jack and Sam leaving Daniel behind, which... kind of negates the whole point of the vid, I think. Unless I'm reading it wrong. ::tilts head in confusion::

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well, okay, yes. How about this: Jack's going off home with Sam but Sam totally knows that Jack will be sneaking out later to meet Daniel. Yeah, that's the ticket.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

One of the things I love about vids like that is that it highlights how charged Jack and Daniel's interaction is, without necessarily being overtly sexual. It makes for happy fangirls.

Oh, okay, that works.

I'm such a literalist -- if I ever made a vid, it would be one of the ones that shows Rygel barfing when the lyric says "I'm sick with love," or some such thing. Oy.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...and, after hours of downloading time, I saw Bed. And, yes, bless, it IS just adorably convincing - I especially like the dirty look Sam shoots Daniel at the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Five years ago, on (just about) this very day, we posted the very first Polyamorous Recs update. Little did we know this would lead us down a road with hundreds of fandoms and thousands of stories. In honor of our fifth anniversary, we present you with the biggest update yet: 250 stories in 74 fandoms.

Celebrate with us! Presents are always welcome. We like cabana boys and cake.

Yeah, that was a good (albeit strange) story.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I enjoyed it, but I must confess that I was a wee bit frustrated. If my first reaction to the 'lens of heaven' being described as a big lens that swivels was to think 'Hmmm...burny death', then surely Rodney and John could have worked it out pretty damned sharpish. Especially if Rodney was FIXING THE DAMNED THING. And if all the locals were going 'Ooooh, no, not the Fire of Heaven!'

That aside, though, it was a lot of fun, and the saucy bits were jolly saucy.

Yeah, I thought that, too, Fay. But the writing was so lovely I didn't really mind. I also liked that the locals didn't much care about the Atlantis folks--they just hated how they screwed with their local political structure.
