96 Tiny, tiny tears...

Apr 19, 2005 14:52

It's sweeneybird's fault. I sent her an email to bitch about the proliferation of SG:A stories that reduce McKay to a quivering pile of sobbing, unmanly goo after 2 hours of solitary confinement... or a paper cut.
sweeneybird replied, "What is it with scientists and their tiny, tiny tears?" which I found really funny and then I found myself writing a SG:A badfic ( Read more... )

I'm experiencing a few "tiny, tiny tears" of my very own. Of the laughing variety. That was so funny it hurt.

I'm glad that I could entertain you. It's the only way I can deal with the pain of watching a perfectly good, masculine character reduced to a whiny 13-year-old girl.
:^)

Indeed. He is quite masculine. It's just that his weapon is geekery rather than guns (not in any way to dis Sheppard. I like 'em both). He's quite responsible -- he was well on the way to driving himself into the ground for the safety/protection of his people when last I saw him. Nothing girly or whiny about that.

Seriously, I read a fic today that had the man *sobbing* after 4 hours in a cell. Four. Hours.
Honestly, I don't know what show these people are watching...

I loved this. But then you knew that. Now please write one where Rodney and Daniel and Blair all have a slumber party, do their hair (okay, do Blair's hair) and giggle about the cute cute military boys. Make sure they have lots of tissues for when the 'he doesn't know I'm alive' stuff starts.

Did I mention that I love this? And you?

barkeep April 19 2005, 23:43:05 UTC

I'm on it... let me see, how to start?

"Ow!" Rodney exclaimed, putting his burnt fingers in his mouth. "Vat hult."

"What?" Daniel asked as he picked up the hot roller that Rodney had dropped.

"I said that hurt." Rodney blew on his stinging fingers and pouted.

"Well, be more careful next time." Daniel admonished, swatting him on the arm.

"Guys, if you don't get back to work one side's going to be frizzy and the other will be flat." Blair complained, kicking his bunny-clad feet in frustration.

I'm sorry, that was painful to write...
And I love you, too.

"Rodney and Shephard
Sitting in a jumper
Shephard kissed Teyla
Rodney's gonna whump her"

ROFL! I think I read that same story, argh. I think the badass planet-blowing-up Rodney from Transcendental is a lot closer to canon. Even if it's not, it's sure the version I prefer.

barkeep April 19 2005, 23:46:04 UTC

And sadly, it's not just one story. I've read a lot of things in lately in SG:A that have Rodney crying at the drop of a hat. And being a 40-year-old virgin. Right.

I also prefer the badass Transcendental Rodney.

hinokumo April 21 2005, 16:37:06 UTC

Yes, I totally agree with the evil overlord version:D

Also, I stumbled upon your fic via ship_recs via mmmchelle. Hilarious! Best badfic I've ever had the pleasure--or is that horror?--of reading :D

barkeep April 21 2005, 20:01:34 UTC

Thanks! Glad you were entertained/horrified. ;->

falzalot directed me here. I'm glad she did because I laughed out loud.

Thank you.

barkeep April 20 2005, 02:17:28 UTC

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please feel free to point it out to anyone who has a sense of humor.

barkeep April 20 2005, 03:20:51 UTC

p.s. I freaking ADORE your icon.

mmmchelle April 20 2005, 12:58:37 UTC

Thank you. It's been around a while. I even wrote a story that goes with it, because those nipples are just too damned adorable.

mythdefied April 20 2005, 01:50:16 UTC

the only question on his mind was whether they'd be able to find an Ancient device capable of impregnating Rodney with his baby...

ROTFL! Yep, I've been thinking that's where this whinycrybaby!Rodney thing has been heading, right towards mpreg land. (Of course, you do realize that you've just given the teenybopper mpregers ideas, right?)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one noticing the increasing amount of fic where Rodney bursts into tears over the stupidest things. And man, do I ever hate it. There've been a few fics I haven't been able to get past the first paragraph on because he's crying already.

Great badfic! Really sums up the crap that's invading the fandom.

Hee! So, I should scap my latest story that begins, "Rodney spent the first four hours of the Wriath attack cowering in his room in a fetal position, sobbing." ?

Glad I gave you a chuckle. :-)
