Stargate is my dope.

“The idea was for us to stick our heads up and breathe, but what I kept forgetting to do was tilt my head all the way back. So I’d feel the water just above my nose and I’d open my mouth to take a breath and I’d choke. It happened about three times in a row! So after three takes, Richard turns to me and says, ‘Why do you keep doing that?’ So I smacked him and said, ‘It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose!’ all girly-like. I was so completely embarrassed. But it works in the scene, because when the water lowers and it looks like I’m choking, I was, in actual fact, choking…”

Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I just have a little problem with scientists.

Hi everyone! This week we are reading the modern classic Off-World Weddings by our own @lenalake! And Lena will be around for an AMA afterward if anyone has questions for her about this fic! 🩷

She somehow makes it work though?

And I agree, over all the seasons there is a broad range between cringeworthy and ‘wow’.

The Newsroom (1996-2005)

✯ “How many times have I told you not to take hits like that?”        “I don't exactly have control over that.”

✯ “It’s just a scratch.”        “It’s a deep scratch. Sit down.”

✯ “I don’t want to make a mistake.”        “You will eventually. The important thing is not to let it break you when it happens.”

✯ “Leave me alone! I have patients-”        “No you don't. They are now my patients and you are one of them. Sit.”

✯ “You're still here?”        “I had a patient dying. Their family wasn't here, I couldn't leave them alone. Even if they weren't conscious…”      “Come here. It's okay.”

✯ “Why didn’t you tell me?”        “I didn’t want you to worry.”      “I always worry. That's part of my job, and your job is to tell me when you need help!”

✯ “If you complain one more time, I’ll make this hurt.”        “You wouldn’t.”      “Try me.”

✯ “Hey! No need to be this rough!”        “Yes, actually. I need you conscious.”

All 10 seasons? With subtitles?!

It has of course made me go "AFTG but SG1" and now I'm creating a monster in my imagination instead of writing but omgomgomg STARGATE!

STARGATE WOMEN WEEK | #stargatewomenweek

Running from the 27th of April to the 3rd of May 2026, this is a fanwork week to appreciate the female characters of the Stargate series, any and all series/character welcome! To foster a sense of community and keep the hype going, all creations in the tag will be reblogged here, and I highly encourage everyone to support each others' creations through engagement such as reblogs, comments, asks, etc.

Also, please check the FAQ.

PROMPTS:

Day One (27th April) — Main Character(s) | Outfits/Looks | Strength Day Two (28th April) — Dynamic(s) | Alternate Universe | Connection Day Three (29th April) — Side Character(s) | Themes & Tropes | Faith Day Four (30th April) — Episode(s) | Lyrics & Quotes | Yearning Day Five (1st May) — Antagonist(s) | Parallels & Foils | Hurt Day Six (2nd May) — Storyline/Arc(s) | Traits | Excitement Day Seven (3rd May) — Free Choice*

*If you're looking for ideas for this one I suggest either a) creating something as a response to work by another participant, to encourage the sense of community and draw inspiration from each other! And/or you could b) try out any of the prompts you didn't already do.

Interpret the prompts however you like, just so long as at least one woman is central to it, e.g. a Teyla + Atlantis Reconnaissance Team post would be perfectly suited to the 'dynamics' prompt, but a general 'Atlantis Reconnaissance Team dynamic' post would not as it wouldn't centre Teyla.
