Thanks to Roo...who's weird dreams have rubbed off on me last night....
Spoiler:
Shep and Co enter a village on some no name planet and they are immediately apprehended, stripped of their weapons and are kneeling on the ground in the center of town.
It seems this village has some sort of sensor network to detect the ATA gene. However, the villagers do not like the Ancestors as they feel they were abandoned by them and forced to face the constant wraith cullings.
The villagers think Shep is an apparent Ancestor due to his strong ATA gene and therefore make him pay for his decendents sins of abandoning the villagers and making them suffer over the centuries. Shep is brutally grabbed and dragged to some sort of holding area. He is held down and some older man comes forward, yanks his mouth open and forces him to swallow two tiny pills. The team is then informed that the pills contain a slow releasing poison that will take about four days to kill him. In those days, he will get progressively worse and suffer terribly until he finally dies.
Sheppard is now in some enclosed cage in the holding area. The team is told they will be forced to watch Shep get worse and can offer no assistance. Their punishment for aligning themselves with an Ancestor.
After a few hours, Shep starts developing a fever and is getting nauseated. The team tries to offer words of encouragement, but if falls on deaf ears. Teyla tries pleading with the villagers that Shep is not an ancestor and to let them all go in the promise to never return to their world. Nothing works.
After a few hours, Shep starts getting cramps in his muscles that over the next day lead to mild and sporadic convulsions. He is starting to throw up and is now alternating between hot and cold sweats. His muscles are so weak that he can barely stand, let alone move or get comfy.
Shep eventually starts vomiting blood, goes into convulsions, can't eat, can't drink, can't go to the bathroom, has massive headaches and his airflow is getting constricted. But for some reason through all of this, his mind is never altered (he doesn't get delirious, nor lose conciousness etc). He is fully aware of the pain and agony.
The team breaks free and gets Shep to the gate very late on day three. I'm not quite sure what happens after that as I woke up.
The pure hell of the suffering Shep went through cannot be described in words. It was so vivid and so..real and the suffering was terrible for everyone. Where the hell does my mind come up with this crap??
OT self pitying rant (feel free to skip, because I think it'll be long)
Spoiler:
I'm a bit down, but that's the PMS talking. It always makes me feel teary. I hate that. A needle falling in the floor can make me break down in tears and I feel so totally pathetic, because I just need control. I'm so like Shep in that way. I don't even like taking a Tylenol for a headache.
The thing is that, although I enjoy teaching, Dentistry is what I love. That's what I want to do the whole day. Spend 12h in my office working, having one patient after another, and the kind of exhausted I feel after that is so different. I feel so good after a good day of work. Teaching is something I need to do. And I like it, but not to the point of enjoying staying in school for eight hours a day, when only a couple of those is spend actually teaching. There is so much planning a class needs... And teacher is the lowest paying job there is. At least in Brazil. I would enjoy it a lot more if I was getting a good pay. Yes, it will allow me to pay my rent, and help my mom greatly for not having to afford me, and that is a even bigger bummer. Because I prefer to be in my office and not a class room. But then, when I'm there, I'm so focused and concentrated, I don't even realize I'm pretending. And it just crushes down in the morning when I'm here, minding my office, feeling so good. Then it's midday and I need to get ready to go, put the plastered face and smile and pretend to myself I love teaching as much as I love being a dentist. And I totally believe that for the next eight hours. And then I realize I'm lying to everyone, including myself.
And I also hate not being the boss. I'm so very good at saying 'yes, sir' but I hate not being able to do things the way I want. And I don't say anything about it mostly. I'm just socially inadequate and can't voice my opinions when there is a live audience. I do my program, turn into a robot and pretend. I'm a damn good teacher, and always got plenty of praise, but I just can't figure out why I'm so good in the class, whith only me and the students (or in my office with my patients), but turn into a complete retard when it turns to something outside of that. I just want to do things my own way and not having to go through anyone or feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Well, this made me feel a lot better. Don't get me wrong, I do like teaching, what I don't like is not being paid well enough and having to spend most of my days in school, instead of my office. They should either pay me more, or make me work less, because it's so damn unfair that I spent six years in college and spend thousands (and thousands and thousands) of money investing in my profession, but I'm mostly unable to perfom it because the market is so damn hard.
Also I should be writing, and just realized I'll have to re-write my whole fic again, because it's not running well with the developments of S4... and I just don't feel like it.
I found the whole character discussion very interesting and would join in if it was any other day. Right now I'll just say that the reason I watch Stargate is because of them, and their relationships keep getting better and better this season. I like all of them, but John and Rodney just have a very special place for me in my heart. I trully melt every time I see them together.
Sorry things aren't working out for you hon, and not being able to do the things you love absolutely sucks. You never know, that one patient might say how great you are to a family member and the to a friend and before you know it you'll be able to get back to it. Don't give up just yet hon. (((Erika)))

Oh wow, I want dreams like that. hehehe I have no idea where you mind gets this fab whumpiness from, but can you lend me your mind for a bit so i can get some writing done.
((hugs)) It is hard to work so long for something you love and then have to wait to do it. Hopefully things will pick up in your office and the teaching will be a hobby or a thing of the past. We all do what we have to do to make a living. Hopefully soon you will get to do more of what you WANT to do!
Oh my! I wish I had dreams like that. That was fantastic!
I did the same thing. Great minds think alike when it comes to this man!!!
That's cos you live in the gutter Pocus *squooshes Pocus*
Yup....I may need a bolt hole!!!...I know its silly, but I'm a tad nervous and I won't know anyone....
I don't really know anyone either Bebop, and i'm a lil nervous to. So we can be nervous together i didn't know you were coming to, just think how great it'll be with everyone here, it'll be like a whumpers convention.
That's cos you live in the gutter Pocus *squooshes Pocus*
Oi!!! I moved in right next to you girlfriend.
So many lucky ones going to P3. You are going to have so much fun. Maybe one day I will A) be brave enough to go to a convention B) have the money to spend on a convention C) have Hubby not mind me going to a Convention (mostly to do with B).
I need some whump!! Anyone got any dreams to relate or short, short fics to share. On another thread I play on we keep doing the Top 100 but it is not a list. It is almost like a collection of short stories. It kinda keeps the thread moving and on topic. Some one also just started an ABC but it is done in Icons.
Oh just ignore me. I am rambling today and looking for ways to keep my mind occupied and off the raging headache I have.
(((HUGS))) for everyone who needs one! I'm forgetting who exactly, but Congrats on who got the new job (sherry maybe?); have fun all those going to P3; and
Spoiler:
for whoever had PMS and is feeling poorly, I feel your pain
Let's see......yesterday I came up with Shep Hurricane Porn. Let's see what I can do to the dear today.......
And no.......First of all, I didn't know there was an anti-Shep thread, and would not go in there in any case. How can people not like Shep? He's like catnip baby! He's like a Lay's potato chip.......like chocolate. Okay, stopping now so I don't talk myself into some candy.

Your comment about Lay's Potato Chip reminds me of the old Pringles commercial "Once you pop the top you can't stop"
To paraphrase "Once you whump Shep you can't stop"

sure have good taste in men! There's something incredibly sexy about when they say "KNEEL" and Shep does it.

when the Queen is about to run her hands on his face and his eyes are looking to the side? I think I saw it here but maybe not. This was from the ep that just aired recently

Astral is goddess of caps. Go here for the whumpy ones.
Actually it was rather warm.....upper 20s low 30s. Yes, That's WARM for this time. We went from a forecast of scattered snow showers (meaning no accumulation) to a snow advisory of 5" of the stuff. WTF??? It was really weird.
As for whump.......Now see, I'd rather see Shep walking along in the snow (not too deep) to the gate and then slips on some ice hidden underneath the snow, taking a nice fall that breaks his tailbone. yeah....the whump potential there.
A big yes to the snow and the slipping but a huge NOOOOOOOOO!!! to the breaking of the tailbone *has flash back to last years skiing accident and remembers the pain of not being able to sit for weeks... takes ListySC and goes and sits in the corner and rocks*
i like the idea of shep going through the ice, but then knocking his head on the way down-we gotta get some blood in there- so hes unconscious and falls into freezing cold water..then ronon has to jump in and save him.......and of course for some reason the gate wont work and they have to stay until someone comes through and so they have to make a fire to keep sheppy warm ..maybe they go to a cave...where shep is suffering from hypothermia and has a fever and is getting all delirious and hes very ill and the team all worry about him.
Hi everyone. Have I missed anything exciting??? I missed everyone!!!! ((hugs))
I watched The Spoils of War. It was pretty good. Looking forward to seeing this weeks episode.
OT
Spoiler:
So I officially got a new job. I put in my resignation today and I'm starting my new job on the 28th. I'm very excited no more traveling and if I do need to travel it will only be for a day.
Nope. They were visiting a people that lived high up in the mountains in the winter and it was all icy and had to cross a bridge and Ronon fell off and through the ice into a river and Sheppard dived in after him and the people pulled them out and Sheppard was blue and Ronon stopped breathing and it's all written from Shep's POV and it was really good!
I have read that one it was good!!! can't remember which one it is though, where is Linzi, she is the oracle of fics .
