SGA thought for the morning
Oddly, this came to me as I was putting on makeup and turning over ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anna_luna's kid!AU artpiece, "Hide and Seek," and how I really don't want to think about the things I have to do today.
Rodney and John are Calvin and Hobbes.
Yeah. Rodney's (ego)maniacal, loves science and (apparently) science fiction, goes to strange alien worlds, has a double from an alternate dimension come visit him, has a wild imagination, delusions of grandeur and persecution, and a strong sense of entitlement.
John is tall,fuzzy with lots of messy hair, and is as likely to be the enabler as the voice of reason.
The balcony scene in "Hide and Seek"? Total Calvin & Hobbes moment.
This, of course, means that, when they take over Atlantis, Rodney gets to be dictator-for-life. John gets to be First Tiger.
Hm.
I should go to work now.

Oh, that's gonna be stuck in my head all day, making me laugh! Awesome!

It sucks... I was trying to talk intelligently to one student about his classwork, and the entire time I was envisioning John tackling Rodney as Rodney walks through the door to his quarters.
Also... Get Rid Of Slimy Space-bimbos!

Oh my god they so are. That is awesome. !
Obviously, Elizabeth is mom.I probably love the idea of John only existing in Rodney's head a little too much. (But then I've always half wanted to write a SGA/Fight Club!AU. Except Sam would be in Rodney's head, not John. John would be Helena Bonham-Carter.)

What do you mean "half wanted"?? WRITE! *points commandingly*

*giggles in girly manner* -- and yes, he so would. The one flaw with this comparison? John's not so much of the hugging.

How Calvin is like Rodney, Hobbes is like John, and Susie Derkins is like Elizabeth:
Calvin is: an arrogant, loud pessimist with frequent delusions of grandeur and occasional destructive tendencies, who spends most of his time berating the stupidity of a world that refuses to worship him as the demi-god he so obviously is. He is certain that he is always right, about everything, and is prone to fits of hysterics. He believes he is a superhero. He hates doctors and thinks they’re all quacks. Also, most of his daily life revolves around snarking and causing trouble with his best friend, Hobbes.
Hobbes is: a lazy, fun-loving, optimistic tiger who usually responds to Calvin with dry sarcasm. Though typically laid back, he does have latent homicidal tendencies as well as occasional outbursts of childish exuberance. He is good at manipulating Calvin without Calvin even realizing he’s being manipulated. He is a bit of a prankster, and one of his favorite pastimes is Calvin-baiting. He has a profound love for one particular food: tuna (i.e. turkey sandwiches) and Calvin also makes frequent wisecracks about his fur (i.e. hair).
Susie Derkins is: an idealistic, well-meaning little girl who believes strongly in the empowered woman as a role model. Her idea of “playing house” is to have a family where the wife is a highly powerful executive, and the husband shares equally in the household duties. She is frequently annoyed by Calvin’s antics, but likes him anyway, and can give as good as she gets. She has a big soft spot for Hobbes. She believes in the value of hard work, rules, and consequences, and also that there is good in everyone (even Calvin, deep down…way deep down.) She is also the only sane one of the bunch.

That is all kinds of awesome right there. Seriously, ALL KINDS. Hurry and finish! Hurryhurryhurry!
How Calvin is like Rodney, Hobbes is like John, and Susie Derkins is like Elizabeth:
Dear God, that is so so true. And, consequently, very cool. It would be so nice to add "Like Hobbes does to Calvin, John tackles Rodney on a regular basis," but alas... Though I now have crack-like visions of John being stuck on Atlantis while Rodney's away on a mission, then tackling him back through the stargate when Rodney tries to return to the city.
a kindred spirit in the C&H love,
Who isn't?! All hail C&H! All hail Watterson!

I don't think I'll ever forget the last strip, with Calvin and Hobbes sledding off into the distance and Calvin saying "It's a magical world, Hobbes old buddy... Let's go exploring!" And that's pretty much the spirit Rodney's got, bitching and laziness aside--he wouldn't have gone to Atlantis if, deep down (even if he doesn't admit it to himself), he didn't believe the world should be treated like an adventure.

Hmm... I love this fandom!
I love how one thing sparks something else in someone and that new something is extremely incredible...
Unfortunately I don't know enough about Calvin and Hobbes to draw John and Rodney as them... but maybe if
yousomeone gave me a script...no subject
It is such a wonderful place. Everyone I've met here has been incredibly creative and inspiring and yes, very happy :D (Though also frustrated because I don't have time to write all of the things I think up...)
And speaking of which, the dragon AU snippet needs to behave itself. It wants to be this long, oddish hybrid of angst and fluff and grr! Misbehaving stories...
Unfortunately I don't know enough about Calvin and Hobbes to draw John and Rodney as them...
Oh, you MUST explore the wonderful world of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes (http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/), one of the best American comic strips OF ALL TIME. Check out
Calvin is a lot like Rodney in many ways; to quote Watterson, "... outgoing and rambunctious and there's not much of a filter between his brain and his mouth." Hobbes likes pouncing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:The_Essential_Calvin_and_Hobbes.png) on Calvin as he walks through the door :D
But yes, read Calvin & Hobbes! It's a beautiful thing.

I just had to squee at you some more without spamming your LJ :D
My dog is looking at me with great concern... He feels I'm not supposed to make these noises.

I'm still so glad you enjoyed these!
And I'm totally blaming you as the evil mastermind behind this... I'm just the minion...

And you're a very good minion!

Well, his stuffed tiger or a cardboard box. (OMG, does that mean that if you flip the time travelling jumper over it turns into a transmogrifier???)
Re: You=WIN
You know it! Though I'm sure he tried to convince Elizabeth that John, being a real person and not a stuffed one, wouldn't count as a personal item.

MY GOD it totally does! It also turns into a duplicator, so Rodney can have lots more Rodneys around to help
drive the city crazysave the day.Re: You=WIN
Re: You=WIN
Rodney 1: Ahhhh, a day off at last. Wonder what the others are up to...
Rodney 2: Look, do you KNOW what citric acid does to me in even minute quantities? Do you KNOW what anaphylactic shock looks like???
Rodney 7: *pontificate pontificate* Colonel, pay attention *pontificate* No, see, if we do that? We're all going to DIE. Horribly. *pontificate pontificate*
Rodney 16: *inflicts his "Why weren't your parents sterilized?" expression on hapless scientist*
Rodney 20: Why can't we visit a planet with, you know, public transportation that isn't a mule cart? Or at least paved roads? And who the hell took the last chocolate power bar because all that's left is raisin and I don't like raisin...
Rodney 33-59: OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!
Rodney 65: Colonel, remind me again why it is the Air Force lets you fly things? This is an advanced piece of technology, not your mom's minivan.
&c. &c. &c.

Rodney with a Cerebral Enhance-o-tron.

I think something needs to be done with this, because this image is just TOO TOO GOOD. Text cannot contain the coolness.
