geekiness ahoy!

*falls at the feet of Google and weeps with joy*

I am not the only one in this history of the universe to ship Talia/Garibaldi! There even exists a fanfic!!! I AM NOT ALONE!!!11!

And

lyssie made me an icon!

Talia/Garibaldi is my ridiculous, ridiculous Babylon 5 OTP. I seriously don't understand why I'm so alone on this, because it's SO OBVIOUS AND GREAT. I swoon whenever I see them on-screen together and have done since I was thirteen. My mother does, too, which means the insanity is genetic.

I am resisting the desire to drive up to Best Buy immediately and buy Season 2 of B5, because my parents bought me something for my birthday off the internet and I've been given strict instructions to Not Buy Anything, just in case.

It's burning a delightful hole in my mind, as this pairing does every year or so. I will now watch Season 1 and drag out my old TERRIBLE fanfic from when I was thirteen and first obsessed, and somehow resist the urge to rewrite my awful B5 novel again. (It went through at least three embarrassing incarnations when I was in high school, at times including both a Mary Sue and the lyrics to an *nsync song. I'm still not nearly ashamed enough of it.)

*flails with overwhelming 'shippy joy*

ETA: ... so, I just opened my B5 fanfic folder. It appears I wrote a Sheridan/Weir fic. I don't remember this at all. Did I post this? Did one of you challenge me to do this? No, seriously, WHAT?

feel:

*always kinda shipped Garabaldi/Ivanova, actually*

I can see that. ~~But mostly in the Garibaldi/Talia/Ivanova OT3 sense.~~ I really like their friendship, and if I recall correctly, it got written a lot into my fics when I was wee and sex wasn't the only goal of fanfic. ;)

*digs around more in folder* Toy box of bad fanfic!

I seriously don't understand why I'm so alone on this, because it's SO OBVIOUS AND GREAT.

Alone? But... Doesn't everyone 'ship G/T? I -- You're blowing my world view here. I thought Garibaldi/Talia was like a law of physics.

(One of my first fics was a terrible, sappy thing about how Garibaldi broke her out of the PsyCorps and helped her break throught the created personality. And then they had bebiez!Telepathic bebiez!)

mylittleredgirl on June 25th, 2005 05:53 pm (UTC)

EEEEEE!!! YES! LAW OF PHYSICS OMG!!

You are so my new best friend. *CLINGS* Aiiiieeeeee. I am freaking out with the joy of not being alone!

TELEPATHIC BEBIEZ!!! I had a whole saga going, omg. Lyta was actually responsible for the breaking out and the de-fragging of Talia's brain, if I recall correctly, but Garibaldi got to stomp around and be ANGSTY AND IN LOVE and save her from evil in the future and stuff. I didn't get to the telepathic bebiez yet, but OMG, they were so totally coming in SEEKWELS.

YES!!! This is so fun! I'm totally going to have to do a fic dump of the pieces that are actually fairly recent and just... weren't posted because the pairing makes no sense, for example.

I admit that Michael is cute and I would probably ship them, but for my overriding love for Susan/Talia in all things, which pretty much broke my shipping virginity and therefore cannot ever be overthrown.

I always have the Michael!crush in my S/T stories though. Because he is so cute when he's mooning over Talia. *grin*

well, I can sort of see it... *g* And actually, I was just flipping through the book I have of Thirdspace and I came across a couple of pars about this relationship, so I guess it was there and I just don't remember!

I was always the 'hopeless' shipper when it came to this show. Susan/Marcus and Zach/Lyta were mine.

j_guda on June 25th, 2005 05:58 pm (UTC)

Zach/Lyta!!!!

OMG. I loved them SO MUCH! I used to throw things at the screen during season five when creepy stupid hair guy (Byron? Jeeze he had a stupid name too) came on the screen.

daygloparker on June 25th, 2005 05:55 pm (UTC)

I honestly think that the only reason I've never seen B5 is 'cause one of the characters has my name and my name isn't that common and thus, I am vaguely freaked out.

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

mylittleredgirl on June 25th, 2005 06:01 pm (UTC)

It's entirely possible that one of the reasons I LOVE YOU SO is because you share a name with my favorite character ever, omg. ~~And because if we become, liek, really good friends I can name my kid after you and not be suspected of fandom geekiness. Except I'm just kidding about pretty much everything I just said.~~

It's also possible that I just love *her* because her name is so often. It really has been one of my favorite names since I was a little kid -- before B5 -- and therefore I am jealous of you. :)

i saw the T/G ship way back when, but when i rewatched i only had eyes for the ivanova/talia... shows you how much the viewer "changes" the show *g*

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

mylittleredgirl on June 25th, 2005 06:50 pm (UTC)

Definitely!! Especially B5. Although... you'd be hard-pressed to watch the show in a way, say, that un-OTPs John and Delenn. But I'm sure that some have tried.

I can't even tell you how happy this is making me.

Perhaps I'll request fic challenge for the pairing or something. Hrm. Or... I could go out tonight, like I'm supposed to. That too. *whistles*

besyd on June 25th, 2005 09:28 pm (UTC)

Ack. Now I must go to Colorado so my B5-addict-friend can show me who Talia is. (And no, describing probably won't help me since I didn't watch the show much. But I'll probably recognize stuff by osmosis since I would be present - but playing on my PowerBook - during some B5-marathon weekends.)

I totally want to lock myself in a room for the next week and write Talia/Garibaldi fic. Except the plot bunnies are just swimming around and failing to bite! What the heck!?

Mwah ha ha. I love that we have a list of recruits now for a show that aired ten years ago.
