this gifset is gaining notes again and I just feel angsty over Rodney calling Sheppard 'John' only when he's about to lose something. Elizabeth. His sister. His mind.
I made a post similar to this before but if Stargate: Atlantis was airing today the McKay love would be so intense. He’s literally THE blorbo blueprint. he’s wet, he’s pathetic, he’s whiny, he’s a coward, he’s the bravest man in the world, he has incredible character growth, he accidentally destroyed a solar system, he saved the world countless times, he’s annoying, he cares about his friends, he’s nd coded. he’s such a fully developed and complicated character played by a genuinely talented actor.
don’t even get me started on McShep lol. the only reason it lost the shipping poll so bar (rip) is because it’s an older fandom. McShep makes me feral fr fr.
not surprising at all really that as soon as sumner died elizabeth weir immediately told john to pick an off-world team rather than assigning him an office or something as Expedition Military Commander. she's an experienced dog owner, she took one look at this man and went oh yeah this breed isn't suited to full-time urban living. he will make my life a living hell if i keep him inside all day. highly intelligent, great with children, top-notch guarding instincts, will 100% shred every piece of furniture in atlantis if he doesn't get enough time off leash
