This made me smile. At times, this is me. Lol #humor #goldengirls #sophia #itsme

for the ask game: N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

I answered this for SGA already but I always want more SGA! So I will give 3 more: more scenes with John and Lorne doing the day-to-day running of Atlantis, CO/XO stuff <3; more Rodney ranting at his minions. :D more Teyla and Elizabeth discussing the difficulties of Leadership!

Thanks for the ask, my friend!

These are some of them, most were golden retrivers and labradors, but also included german shepherds and other breeds. Sadly most are dead now, while many people forget them and don’t spare them a thought. 

As people lay dying, trapped and hurt, a team of nearly 100 loyal and courageous search dogs put their lives on the line to help humans. Without them, many more would not have survived, yet few people consider them. 

In such a chaotic, terrifying, hot, acrid-smelling, smokey and loud environment, countless human lives depended on their ability to focus, listen, respond to their handlers, and work tirelessly. Stepping over cracked glass, hot tarmac, through flames and thick smoke, being winched over deep ravines, they battled on to seek out survivors and bring them aid. 

They worked around the clock, day and night, searching, sniffing, over and over. Not only did they search, but they comforted - many eyewitnesses speak of how the dogs would stop and sit by newly-recovered victims, giving them a sense of hope and relief, before moving on to look for the next. As the situation became desperate, and the rescue workers and fire teams became utterly distraught at the amount of people who were recovered dead, these dogs brought them comfort, sitting with them on breaks, letting them grieve.

Many of these dogs are old, and have passed away. Let us remember the courage and loyalty they showed at such a horrendous event. They didn’t have a choice, but nonetheless they did what was asked of them and helped save countless lives. Don’t let their bravery be forgotten today either, or their determination to be a ‘good dog’ despite the scary and dangerous environment around them.

Nothing else to say! ;)

Hee. (♥)

I always love watching the way these two interact!!

This scene is such gold – both on a comedy and friendship level, not to mention the slash.  But here Rodney is so wonderfully brave and yet oblivious on so very many levels (1/8th a karat!  John not even realizing it’s an engagement ring at first and then squinting at the diamond and thinking how 1/8 of a karat is going to go over. Oh, Rodney).  John going through the “Wait, you got past second base?” to “I really don’t want to think of you mashing bits with Katie” eyebrow thought process.  And then John being supportive despite (or because of) the obvious terror on Rodney’s face, and Rodney’s look of abject gratitude in response. <3 <3 <3

I love these two for their friendship and Rodney McKay for being the staunch,  oblivious toaster gnome of doom that he is.  Look at Rodney go, onwards, onwards and unstoppable despite being unaware of his own terror and true wants, with the love of his friends in support, a little bemused and wary but still game to help him.
