Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

Lurkers must think we're all on crack.

This is a cracky place sometimes too... and it's so much fun with the Sparky family.

[TheLadyMore]

Crack is what makes the Sparky family....Im kinda glad people are as cracky as me when it comes to ideas

I'm trying to pick a picture to get printed to have Joe and Torri sign. This is my favorite of the 2 of them, but the background is so dark that I don't think you'd be able to see the autographs. Grrr!

Can Joe ride a horse? He grew up on a ranch in Nevada. Yes, he can definitely ride a horse. Somewhere I've seen pictures.

Makes me even more interested in seeing him on Hell on Wheels or any other western type show. Heck I'd love to see him on Longmire.

[mandogater]

Or maybe...

Spoiler:

building on SR's professional gambler idea, Joe and Torri play a husband/wife con artist team a la Bonnie and Clyde, or something like that. And they're totally out to get Durant.

I really like that idea, SK!!!!

Sounds like an interesting AU fic and I really don't need any more plot bunnies.

[mandogater]

Morning/Afternoon/Evening???? Have SOOOOO much to do but have procrastination down to a fine art at the moment. Just put 14 SGA books on the e-reader ready for my holiday next week - should last me

And made this......

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I was half as talented as you, Madness reigns.

The pot is blocking the view... get it out of the way. Action figure porn --- did I just say that out loud?

Yes. Yes, you did.

I think they've known that for a while.

Won't be a problem, the actors usually have both black and metallic markers to sign photos with. The metallic ones will show up on a darker photo like that just fine; both Joe and Torri signed my photo ops with silver, and they look great!

Heh, you and me both!

[mandogater]

Heh, you and me both!

Happily my boss has been telling me to bring a book to read on slow days at work. Silly me, I decided to bring a notepad to work on fic. Maybe once I clear my back log, I can tackle this one.

Oh great! I'll get that one printed. Maybe put a border to make it look nice. We have a Walgreens that can do that in an hour. I think I'll just buy prints for the others there. I found a good one from the Gallery here of Kate Hewlett but it had the logo on the bottom so I'm afraid there will be an issue with that.

Night all!

That's beautiful!!! Great use of texture and color. Wonderful job.


Hello fellow Sparkies! *waves* Long time no see.

I was listening to this song and I realized just how perfect it is for John and Elizabeth. Thought I'd share.

Lyrics:

Spoiler:

"I Won't Give Up" - Jason Mraz

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold

And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

The part in bold sums up so much for me why John and Liz are so perfect for each other. This is now my song for what their relationship would have been like if they'd gotten together later in the show.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

Speaking of War and Peace, I started reading that book around the same time "Home" first aired back in 2004 and when "The Return Part 1" aired in 2006 me and John were at the same page. Now I don't know how long it took him to read the whole thing but I just finished the darn thing last night. That is one long book. I still can't believe it took me 8 years to read that book. Then again I was a sophomore in high school when SGA started so my priorities were all over the place.

[Madness reigns]

Ohhh, I like that one! Especially the little bit in the lower left corner where it looks like John's about to start nuzzling Elizabeth's hair. *fans self*

Love that. You just about covered all the best moments.

That's really nice!!

That’s beautiful, and I’m with everyone else, the picture in the bottom left corner made me smile.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I was half as talented as you, Madness reigns.

Thanks everyone

And Mandogater it's not talent, it's luck..... 90% of what I make isn't fit to be viewed by human eyes, occasionally something works well enough to pass as art!

Great choice. And I second what SK said. David signed mine in metallic and it shows up against his black shirt just great.

One more day. I saw the schedule. Pic and autograph with Joe first thing in the morning. Then you have to wait until 3pm for the stage appearance. I know some people have been complaining that he's not out there by himself, but with Pauly. I think that's just fine with Joe since he really doesn't like being on all by himself. If only it were Torri.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Fluffy Thursday!

[JT-2]

Would it be in bad taste to have Jewel sign a picture of herself as Kaylee instead of Keller?

Hmmm... Ok I'll just buy one of hers when I'm there. I've got one for Paul and Robert. The Walgreens site says the Sparky pic might end up being a bad quality so I'm doing one of just Joe and just Torri in case that doesn't look good.

I couldn't find a picture I really liked of Michael Shanks so I'll buy something there for him.
