I wrapped all the presents! Fear me!

The last time I went to the store I accidentally bought soda with caffeine and now every night I am WIDE AWAKE OH HI!!! at the time when I am usually trying to fall asleep. And so, a poll about a very important question, brought on by the frantic whirring in my head. OH HI!!!

[Poll #1320159]

ETA: You people and your hedging! These three are HARD, though, so I respect your pain and indecision. Pansies.

So, yeah. I may never settle down enough to sleep again. How is this level of caffeination legal?! People let their kids have this stuff! 0.0

While we're talking about SGA, then: I really loved this SGA santa fic - it's a lovely piece of teamfic and was the perfect thing to read while I'm finishing up the show.

My reasoning, basically:

*We know Rodney and Sheppard are appallingly bad at relationships. So Ronon is the only one I feel safe marrying. (Plus, I am still quietly shipping Ronon/Keller--off in a corner, by myself, if necessary.)

*Thus, I either have to kill John or Rodney.

*If I kill John, then I might have to listen to Rodney talk, which is entertaining in fanfic but I am well aware would IRL drive me to homocide eventually, and the name of the game is not KMK.

*So I'll preemptively kill Rodney (though the game does not specify that it can't be a snuff killing) and maybe John and I can just go for coffee.

This is Kristen's reasoning as well, (although I'm pretty damn sure she and Sheppard wouldn't be wasting time with coffee) and it's sound logic, but I keep running into how exceedingly screwed Atlantis would be without Rodney and then there is trouble. Because of the gene, too, I suspect that kind of logic leads to a dead Dex. Which is just horrible, though, because Ronon! He deserves to be happy!

You're damn right I wouldn't be wasting time with coffee. it would be ALL FUCKING ALL THE TIME. :))

And you just HAD to bring up the gene thing, didn't you? GOD.

[mad_maudlin]

Ronon does deserve happiness! And puppies and kittens! And Jennifer to do his stitches up properly for the rest of his life! But I can at least wield a mean box of Band-Aids, within the context of the game. ;-)

Oh no, you are not alone in shipping Ronon/Keller!

[mad_maudlin]

I was terrified from the beginning that Keller would be irrationally shipped with Rodney just because he's Rodney and she's blonde. And while it hasn't been quite that bad, it's still WTF inducing for me. Her and Ronon, all the way. ::sigh::

[longtimegone]

As Carrie noted, this is totally my reasoning as well. I mean it's HARD. And I love Rodney, in theory, but like you, what would that level of neurosis be like in real life? :))

Mainly, I'm kind of the one climbing the walls, so I need a partner that can pull me down. Ergo, Ronon. And he gets bonus points for being able to throw me around like a ragdoll. :D (and Ronon/Keller FTW)

But also, re: John, there would be no time for coffee drinking. Just lots and lots of fucking. :))

[mad_maudlin]

See, objectively I actually am more attracted to Rodney than to John...but I have to kill one of them. Perhaps if "fuck" were specifically designated as "one-night-stand and I never have to see him again," I'd kill John and fuck Rodney, but it's so open-ended and Rodney is so insane I have to take precautions. Maybe I can rent my chance with John out to someone else?
