Hi,

This is the 1st time I have posted here... well, I think it is (...here's to hoping it works).

Anywayz....Just wanted to say that you guys are great... with the Great discussions and all these goodies. You keep me wanting more... (I have been checking out what you guys have to say, almost every day for like the last 2 months give or take)... I'm thinking... "I need to seek help" but then I tells me-self that its ok for I'm not a "hardcore" shipper (Pffff... And then!).

I have touched on making videos (afraid that I am not very good at it compared to the stuff that's currently out).
As for Photoshop and writing stories ...ummm yesh... (I'm not going to go there).

Anyways... thats it from me and I will try not to sit at the back of the bus hiding.

Cheers and Thanks again.
Kea

A warm welcome to you hakea.

Great to see another newbie - its very difficult not to get pulled in by John and Teyla. They are just such a joy to watch and make such a wonderful couple.

Any J/T videos are welcomed - we all start out as novices. I only started doing sigs and wallies about 2 months ago and now I'm hooked.

So don't be shy to show us any of your work - its a very friendly and helpful bunch in here.

Hope you join in on the discussions. Its always great to hear other peoples perspective on John and Teyla and what drew you to them.

Hi All, been lurking for awhile now. One of the things I am hoping is that a J/T relationship will give some insights into Athosion culture and also Teyla's personal history, eg John asking about Teyla's family, John doing something he thinks is sweet but it turns out to be offensive or means something different in Teyla's culture.

Hello there shrap!!

Yes, do stick around.

Oh and you and me both, it'd be great if in Season 4, without if that is how it is has to be but through John if possible, we could see more of and delve a little depper into the past of both Teyla and the other Athosians [I'm sure i signed some online petition calling for what you're hoping for, while back

]. and vice versa.

I'm there with you Camy, but we can take some comfort though that the signs are good at the minute.

Oh very nice, like the choice of caps, lovely.

Oh and the phrases, no they're fine, just so. Certainly did bring a smile to my face.

Spoiler:

One absolute favourite? Hmm, i dont know about one, i might be able to manage two. lol

I dont' have any caps to hand right now [will have to do a quck searc, i have them here somewhere], you've picked some great ones and i do agree. Season 3 was good to us.

My two, as of right now anyway, woudl be...

First, Welcome to you hakea!!

I can only echo what you say, there sure is some great convo in here, and talent in equal measure.

I can only urge you to continue with your efforts and doing a vid, to have begun is something, more than i have done.

And i am sure that in time you may move onto fics and artwork too. There is jsut tah spark all of a sudden and before you know it, there you are, writing, or producing or designing.

Even i, where to say somebody is modestly talented in their writing is being kind, have done one or two small fics or writing challenges. Which is one or two mroe than i thought there woudl be i can tell you that.

So yeah, keep enjoying J/T

If you don't have the time then it is no big deal, but today is the last day for nomiantions at the Isis Awards, at least i think taht is right. Um, if there is one story that is really close to your heat and a favourite, why not consider going along to the site and nominate it and the author.

Come on now, i'm not stupid, surely longer than that?

Some wonderful new wallies you posted earlier by the way, but that's my point, 2 months?

Thanks BlueAlien for the Welcome.

In reply to your earlier post ... I dont really have an absolute favourite but one of them is Submersion 3x18. Sorry...I've been trying to work out how to add pics as I am not one for explaning too well (I gave up... obviously).

Hi Wendy!

I might have something for you later on...but right now, I"ve been working on different things...

As far as Joe...from the beginning Joe has been in favor of something with Teyla....Teyla's role was there to begin with as a "potential" love interest for John Sheppard....In the interviews, he seemed to be the one pointing the obvious sexual tension that is there between JT. I like the idea of the conflict, of thinking the impossible and longing for something that is unattainable....and that is what perhaps John and Teyla see from each other...I like how the series is really expanding on a friendship built on a strong bond and trust....it makes the relationship more special to me and more meaningful...their connection is not just physical, but it goes farther than that...if John and Teyla would have been together by now..our poor Teyla would have either died, or become the host for little sheppies and teyla's all around the Pegasus...by keeping them apart but wanting each other, you see the longing and yet you preserve Teyla's role and John's....most of the time, the writers and creators when they make a couple canon, it is either the female role that suffers to become a stereotype or she's killed off or the relationship ends or she goes off with another...and I don't want either for this duo....I think Teyla's role needs further growth as well as John's....however, I do want to see a progression...I do want to see them fall in love, and I do want to see them actually struggle with wanting to be together....does that make sense....right now, we know that Teyla is interested in someone...I want to know who that is and if it's John...then I want to see how she is going to make this work....I want to see them fight to be together, and I want to see them struggle with not only the harsh of their lives but their relationship as well..I think that these two characters have shown us so well just how much they mean to each other and how much they trust and rely on each other that when they do come together, it will be like if they were never apart...and that is all due to the great characters portrayed by Joe and Rachel....most of the time it's a glance, a touch, a nod, a sigh, a gesture that defines them....and their actions of course...

but yeah, I don't want anything sweet and mushy either and certainly something subtle....Teyla has to be a part of John's team in order to remain in SGA...if she were to become something more....I really wonder how her role in the team would be affected...so I'd love to see a little secret rendevouz kind of thing...LOL

Okay...Wikked is keeping the Galleria very pretty with her caps...go and check them out, she's doing Trinity right now....

so, I"m done with my Calendar...now after all that convo of mushy, I"m sure that my December Calendar is not going to reflect what I just wrote above....LOL

but this was made by someone with lots of love for me...and that person is not a JT shipper, but a JW shipper! so just goes to show you that some people can distinguish between fiction and non-fiction and between what matters in friendships....I didn't even ask her to make this for me, but she did cause she knows me too well...next up, little JT's and Teylies! LOL...so although not an actual cap from the show, it's still looks damn real...and if this is as close as I'll ever see JT married, than I"m more than happy.....therefore, December is very special to me....hope you guys like it!

John and Teyla 2007 Calendar....made by Camy

Donna...I hope you like the entire calendar...

Spoiler:

Made a second july one....

Spoiler:

No wonder Bambam suggested that I not show this to Joe's wife or Rachel's boyfriend....I can so see this between JT

Spoiler:

Camy your J/T 2007 Calender was a hit on the Atlantis Scifi forum. People are downloading and hanging these calendars in their office. Me included.

Maffieg would like to thank you for creating the John/Teyla calendar. Lovely work, wanted to send you our appreication.

*takes one step down the podium and changes her mind and steps back up again*

Thank all the people over in Scifi for me....hey do you think the writers and creators go there? WOW! .....I"d like to thank...all the little people........blah, blah, blah!

Welcome Sharp...and please come by again...btw, I love your sig!

Hmm..this is interesting...and after reading Nick's reply....I wonder just how much John knows about the Athosians that we don't actually see on screen....

You have to wonder...in Season 1 he is seen with the Athosians in Hide and Seek....in Season 2....you see him give Elizabeth an Athosian pottery for her b-day present...clearly he must know it's significance or found intriguing enough to have gotten it for her...I wonder if he went and asked Teyla what would be consider a good gift for Elizabeth....and in Season 3...

Spoiler:

.....so it's bound to have personal conversations...but you are soo right, I"d love to see it on screen more......for sure and goof up from John would be so classic!

Spoiler:

Oh I know - its probably impossible to pick just one. I don't think I can either. There are just so many - though I have to admit to being very partial to the Rising Cave scene. I think this is when their connection seemed so apparant.

If you want to post pictures

You need to upload them into a photobucket account - once they have uploaded, you just click on the IMG code and drag them to where you are posting.

Spoiler:

Blue, this is wonderful...

I love all the caps that you presented here..I get goosebumps just looking at it...I'm on my way out so caps will have to be for another time..but season 3...the more I think about it, the more I love how heavily it was to solidify that relationship with John and Teyla...mind you it was a soft reset for me...I think John and Teyla's relationship was solidify in Season 1 and season 2 almost played like it was starting it over again....so that was a bit surprising and dissapointing..but overall it was great!

Favorite scenes for Season 1...there are too many to spell them out....
But certainly season 1 gave us those moments that cemented their bond, trust and feelings....

Season 2 was less John and Teyla but I was pleasantly surprise to see a more emotional side of Teyla...she reacted to John more and she clearly developed a sense of belonging in Atlantis vs her role with her people....Conversion, The Long Goodbye, Inferno, Coup D'Etat, Allies, Michael and even The Tower showed a very concerned Teyla for John and that was not as apparent in Season 1...it was more John than Teyla...

Season 3..we see it clearly in both of them...with the exception of

Spoiler:

Common Ground which I was so hoping would be a Teyla kicking Wraith butt to save John....I was very pleased with it overall...

I love The Ark...I can mention so many scenes in that episode that just clicked for me...tremendously....Sunday was so revealing.....and The Return Part 1...was very heavily John needing Teyla.....and vice versa.....Phantoms was clearly a relationship of trust and understanding....one that Teyla wouldn't give up on her friends and where John blocked his mind to everything and everyone except his devotion to never hurt Teyla even while his mind is playing tricks on him.....very significant in my book....Sateda...again....clearly showing that these two work together in the good and in the bad...that John's level of respect and feelings for Teyla go beyond friendship...but more stand as a family....in Submerssion...I think the key here for me was that although John never put his job before Teyla....in other words, he lifted his gun at her.....he accepts Teyla as is...and is not held back by her abilities which many would be...even Ronon seemed to step back or too much forward to me....and Elizabeth was more opened but hesitant nonetheless...John instead followed her lead, listened to her warnings when no one else did and clearly let her lead by allowing her plan to go into motion....that says a lot to me.....Irresistible....I love that scene when Luciuos asks John if Teyla is taken...it completely catches him off guard...and then of course, when finally John looses it....and snatches from her the bag of herbs..showing his frustration at her careless ness...and when he asked her about Luciuos comment of asking her to be his wife....clearly the tone of his voice says it all.....Irresponsible..showing us that no one but Teyla can talk this man down...and he knows it! He read her before she ever said or did anything...he asked her , WHAT? he knows that she has him wrapped up under her fingers! LOL......and First Strike...that Fantastic Four comment and him rushing to go up the stairs to find that she was okay...was great!

Oy, choosing one scene is just impossible for me!

Hm...that's interesting..I"m going to have to view that one again...cause I totally miss the whole staring between them in that one!

Thanks for pointing that out!

Oh, thank you everyone for your comments in both the calendar and the sigs....donna, I"m glad you liked them! I hope Wendy does too....

Some wonderful new wallies you posted earlier by the way, but that's my point, 2 months?

My first attempt was in about mid January. Camy had made me a beautiful christmas and new year sig so I decided I would have a go at making one myself. Photoshop doesn't come with any instructions so it was just a matter of playing around with it. There are probably loads of things that I don't know about the programme, but it has been really fun playing around with it. Teyla and John make such wonderful subjects - so its a labour of love making the wallies.

**Jeyla4ever** · 22 March 2007, 09:55 AM

Claps madly....Boy, I was your inspiration! LOL

I"m so glad.....you are much braver than I am...I can't even open Photoshop!

LOL

And yes, you said it....John and Teyla just come natural!
