less angsty post storm headcanon - whenever Rodney gets hit with the I Don't Wanna he tells Elizabeth that it "isn't jiving with his walkabout" and she understands and assigns whatever it is to another scientist

ever notice the way rodney refers to people? its always Elizabeth, Radek, Teyla, Ronan, and..... Sheppard 🤔🤔🤔

the others first name basis is casual, instinctive, but rodney only calls him john when theyre being vulnerable

just food for thought

no oh my god i actually think about this ALL THE TIME i'm obsessed with how rodney calls john different things based on different types of interactions i'm literally writing a fic about the colonel vs sheppard vs john it's just. it's SUCH a good concept i love thinking about rodney calling him sheppard vs calling him john and it's just. it's so good i could probably write an entire essay on it i genuinely love this topic so much

#like this is such a good concept #i love it #forever thinking about how rodney refers to john #headcanons #asks #sga #stargate atlantis

So here's a fun thing.

Did you know that Iratus bugs aren't insects? Also not bugs, except in colloquial use, because bugs are insects with piercing, sucking mouthparts. And while they have the mouthparts, they are not insects, so also not bugs.

See, insects specifically have six legs and antennae, as well as a body divided into three segments. Iratus bugs have the body, but no antennas and only two pairs of legs. Which makes them arthropods, but not insects.

Given their particular feeding habits and bite, I'd say they're probably a specialized chelicerate. As a sub- order of arthropods, chelicerates are signified by the moving mouthparts, the chelicerae, and tend to use enzymes for feeding, to turn their prey into slurry.

Given the Wraith enzyme being a feeding aid, it makes sense. At least somewhat.

This would make the Iratus bugs, and by association also the Wraith, closer related to spiders and horseshoe crabs than to insects.

Or, you know, the designers just messed up and didn't realise that their design wasn't an insect. Also entirely possible, given that the Iratus bugs do appear to have elytra, which are not present in chelicerates.

Mclorne, punks

You got it, babe!

They meet at an anarchist show in a dingy, illegal club. Rodney's read all the theory, argued with Elizabeth about Proudhon and Bakunin, wrote papers on how Anarchism could influence the study of electromagnetism. He can argue theory all day.

He also likes the music, and makes his own eco-friendly, hypoallergenic glitter. Yes, the Sex Pistols are a manufactured boy band. No, he doesn't care. (He does think Freddy Mercury is more punk than Sid Vicious though)

Evan does not like the music, particularly (except The Clash), and he's iffy on the theory--but he is boots-on-the-ground, helping at every event, every protest, soothing conflicts and posting bail. Evan does the dishes.

They go dancing a lot. Because Evan's seen what happens when you start taking yourself too seriously, and egos become more important to the work. And you cannot take yourself too seriously when you are wearing smeared eyeliner and glitter made from kelp, grinding in a basement bar while a band plays this side of too loud. You just cannot. (Rodney never forgets why he fell in love with the stars.)

They don't stop being punks--they keep putting the work in, let homeless kids crash in their spare room, go to sit-ins and protests and the occasional riot--but they do slow down. Rodney gets a job at a university, rather than the government, and holds his tongue about Green Day; Evan never joins the army, but paints instead. He'll never make it big, and they'll never be rich, but they get by, more or less.

Thank you for the ask! I love my grubby little punk boys.

Headcanon: Rodney always has his tablet on his person because John likes to pick it up and try to figure out his unlock password to see what's on it. John assumes he has massive amounts of porn that he doesn't want to share. Rodney plays Neopets.

cam stepping between sam and rodney in s10 ep3 when rodney was about to comment on how sam was sexy and follow her when she walked away and giving rodney the “fucking say it” deadass look like- y’all know i’m a feminist!daniel stan but what about feminist!cameron mitchell LIKE—

daniel would probably take more bs to throw hands or rlly just give disrespecc backtalk in return when it comes to interacting with a misogynist (or at least, earlier seasons daniel would), but i feel like cam would just repeat their words back to them in a way that would make them look so fucking stupid like yknow that certified cameron mitchell sense of humor— like what was it he said in the prev episode, smth about joe and bob?? LMFAOO

reason number 2579 why i need to make a part 2 to the sg-1 they/them pronouns post and include cam at the top of the list bc this hilarious himbo is my KING and i would die for cameron “get the band back together” mitchell :’))

John Sheppard Sleeping Headcanons (SGA)

Stays up late at night before going to bed.

Tosses and turns during the night when trying to sleep.

Has a hard time sleeping. Either because of nightmares or because his guilt and regrets keep him up. “I should have done X instead of Y. If I did, “name” would still be alive.” Beats himself up over losing lives.

Light Sleeper. Due to always being on edge. Atlantis may need him or he doesn’t feel safe enough to sleep.

His bed must face the door at all times. 

Sleeps with a pistol under his pillow (only starting this tradition after being tortured/fed upon by Todd).

Nightmares. He’s been through a lot. Lost a lot of people, good men and women.

Wakes up early to run with Ronan (Canon).

Only truly rests when a deep, relaxing sleep takes over when he lets himself have a break.

So, I have this wierd headcanon out of nowhere, that Rodney uses Dvorak layout (programmer one, may god forgive me) and doesn't bother changing keycaps, or even adding stickers. So everyone who tries to use his laptop just goes 'WTF' and never tries again. (Sheppard being the only one who knows obscure shortcut for switching to QWERTY)

Which makes me want to draw McShep version of xkcd issue 'Borrow Your Laptop'.

The fact that I can easily imagine Rodney casually mentioning scrolling through time instead of space may aslo have something to do with it...

Stargate Atlantis HC: Fluff

I’m feeling down so here’s some fluff headcanons for Sga.

Movie Nights

While John’s movie nights started as a way to help Teyla and Ronon get all his earth pop culture references it’s now turned into a Very Serious Tradition™️. Attendance is mandatory.

Since they now have fairly easy access to earth they’ve stocked up on popcorn, all those little popcorn flavor shakers, and even dragged a giant beanbag through the stargates for their designated movie room.

Teyla likes horror movies. Especially the alien and predator franchises. When news of Prey coming out reached Atlantis she demanded their next movie night be it.

Ronon loves those big action tough guy/gal movies. John Wick, the Terminator, and Kill Bill are big favorites. But he’s not a snob about it, instead finding things to enjoy in most of the movies they all watch together.

Rodney obviously loves the traditional “nerd” stuff. Anything Trek, Star Wars, and LOTR. He also likes to find niche independent films that have similar aesthetics or story beats. He’s more of a snob about plot holes though. Once the team made the mistake of letting Rodney pause to explain something. An argument started. It lasted three hours. Rodney isn’t allowed to hold the remote anymore.

Similar to Rodney, John knows all the traditional nerd movies by heart, despite swearing up and down they aren’t his favorite movies. Which is likely true. John has seen the most movies out of everyone and is very well versed in pop culture. He likes discussing plot lines with Rodney, enjoying the cool fight scenes with Ronon, and talking about the way movies build suspense with Teyla. His favorite movie is likely something nostalgic.

Carson has a love hate relationship with medical dramas and zombie/plague type of films. If it’s Carson’s turn to watch a movie everyone plans for double the usual time. He pauses the movie to explain how wrong the procedures are or when equipment isn’t being used right. He’s scared of the zombie and mass outbreak movies, but loves to figure out the mystery cure along side the main characters in the movies. He screams a lot.

Elizabeth loves romance and drama’s. She’s a sucker for a tragedy and has made the team watch many recorded plays for her turn. But occasionally she’ll bring You’ve got Mail or 13 Going on 30 for a more lighthearted movie night.

Camping

Ronon has a hard time sleeping alone when he first joins the team. Years of being a Runner taught him to be a light sleeper and to notice any shift in the air around him. A busy city does not help that.

So Teyla suggests a communal sleeping area outside under the stars, a fairly common Athosian practice.

“You mean camping?” “If that is what you would call it, then yes.” “Sound like camping to me.”

At first it was just going to be Teyla, Ronon and John, but then Rodney heard about their plans and didn’t want to be left out of whatever scheming they would be doing. Elizabeth thought it would be a lovely idea, she camped occasionally back on earth. And Carson only goes because Rodney dragged him along.

But after having the best nights rest since leaving their homes, well everyone wanted to camp again.

So when the weather is just right everyone gathers at Teyla’s room and lays claim to spot on her balcony. 

Rodney and John talk about what to name constellations, even argue over what pictures they see in the sky.

Elizabeth enjoys the fresh air and salty breeze. She falls asleep first every time.

Teyla, Ronon, and Carson take turn telling campfire stories. Most of Carson’s are about earth folklore, stuff he grew up hearing from his mom. 

But it’s just a time to be together, to talk, and sleep knowing your family is right beside you.

Miscellaneous 

Zelenka, McKay, and Beckett keep a running tally of how often Weir tells military commanders off and an additional counter for when she told them something was a bad plan and she was right. 48 and 12 respectfully.

Teyla is the mom of the group- everyone knows this- And as being the mom if anyone gets overwhelmed they go to her for hugs.

But hugs from Ronon are the best. Teyla gives mom hugs that are comforting, but Ronon gives bear hugs that swallow you into nothing but his arms and chest. When one of the group gets a hug from Ronon they brag about it for days. Weeks, if it was Rodney.

Beach days do happen and they are glorious.

Once Todd starts to prove his trustworthiness and begins to feel something more than convivence for these weird humans (first contact and the lost tribe never happened don’t @ me), he joins the crew in their various traditions. His favorite movies are monster movies. 

Lorne and Zelenka become good friends. As much as he complains about it, Lorne loves to listen to Zelenka babble about science.

Elizabeth is in charge of the expedition/civilians and wears red. Rodney is head of the scientists and wears blue. John is head of the military and wears black. Carson is head of medical and wears yellow. But who is head of the technicians who wear green? Is it Chuck? Is Chuck the head of the techs? My brain: Yup. This is canon now.

sga headcanon time bc I can't sleep

Elizabeth does things differently. the sgc was, in a word, institutional. there were strict regulations that she very quickly realized would not work in the Pegasus galaxy. so she changed them slowly.

she noticed that most of the scientists would get caught up in what they were doing and work through their breaks and shift ends, so she set up intercom reminders for mealtimes and breaks. she heard some of the crew complaining about how uncomfortable the uniforms were, and frankly she didn't care much for them either, so she slowly made the rules more lax from letting people wear graphic tees under the jackets to comfortable shoes until eventually no one was wearing the uniforms. she allowed for adaptive reports, and recreational experiments, and sure why shouldn't the physicists turn that empty corridor into a bowling alley.

but, most importantly, she changed how they viewed her. with the SGC being a military operation, so many of her people worshipped at the alter of the chain of command. and you know what they say - it's lonely at the top. Elizabeth wanted them to treat her like an equal, a friend, one of them; to be able to come to her with anything. she wasn't some sovereign ruling over them from her glass office, she was a member of this expedition just like all of them. John, Rodney, Carson, and Teyla all treated her like a friend, and she loved that feeling so much she wanted the rest of them to treat her that way. and by making her office a safe place, it didn't take long for that to happen.

[sga-owns-my-soul]

If you're still accepting random stargate headcanons/thoughts I have one to share.

So, I was thinking about periods and wondering what the ladies of the first expedition did or had planned for their periods given that they thought it was gonna be a one-way trip. Obviously, people have been having periods way before pads and tampons were invented and they probably just used menstrual cups, fabric, or another reusable method to reduce waste. The ladies of Atlantis are wicked smart and could figure out a solution easily enough.

But I was thinking that the men they worked with (especially when they were still cut off from Earth) learned to just get super chill about periods because their female colleagues would talk or complain openly about their cycles, if not directly to them, at least in front of them. And compared to the wraith and all the other weird shit they deal with, having a period is really boring.

I'm imagining Rodney going from an uncomfortable "ew I don't wanna hear about that" attitude about menstrual cycles to a "idgaf" or possibly even "holy fuck you go through that each month?!" attitude within a year of living there. Working closely with women and being led by a woman probably just created a really mature environment around periods and even new arrivals learn to be chill about it. Carrying around pads/tampons/pain meds in tack vests becomes common for everyone. Stuff like that.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the mundane things that probably happen in Atlantis.

first of all i am Always still accepting niche sga headcanons i love these please keep sending them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

second i LOVE this okay i think way too often about the athosians trading period tips and tricks with the atlanteans. sharing ideas and different pain killers and stuff i just love this idea

also the men would be so fucking chill about it bc between elizabeth and teyla everyone who wasn't already chill has either been scared or beaten into being chill about it 😂

ALSO honestly the women in the city explaining to rodney in intense detail what periods are like he would be like. horrified by them. just gives him one more reason to hate the human body. he keeps telling carson to "find a cure for periods" (john says there's probably an ancient machine for that and rodney yells at him that they wouldn't be able to trust it bc it would probably remove vital internal organs too or give you cancer or something)

also the idea of them making period products standard in the tac vest is honestly so fucking amazing and i'm going to believe that this is canon

thank you for the headcanons friend!!!! please feel free to send more if you want!!

#i LOVE hearing people's headcanons #genuinely one of my favourite parts of fandom #it's so fun #also sorry my thoughts are very articulate today i'm so exhausted lmao #it's been a fucked week and i'm not sleeping well #anyways this is amazing #also great timing bc i'm currently on my period #and now i'm just gonna think about teyla and elizabeth bullying the rest of ar1 to do everything for them #bc that's what i would do #asks #headcanons #sga #stargate atlantis

Thought: Athosians, when they have a child, get a small tattoo after the birth. Because there is no guarantee that the child will survive: Pegasus is dangerous, childbirth is dangerous--but you do not love your children less, even if you know you might lose them.

A little tattoo, just over your heart--for the child you have now, whatever happens after.

Stargate LGBT headcannons because I saw someone else do this and it looks fun

• Sam is bi

• Janet is a raging lesbian

• Jack is just a mess

• Daniel is straight but once he’s drunk who knows

• Vala will sleep with anyone

• Teal’c has 100% kissed another man during his time with Apophis. I refuse to believe they spend that much time together and never try something.

• Ra is THE icon. Any pronouns, he doesn’t care! He’ll get with whatever he wants and look fantastic doing it.

• Jonas honestly doesn’t care. If he likes you, he likes you.
