because SOMEONE told me to

[unamaga]

"Butting in here to say: yes! Yes he is Oscar the Grouch! Also, back in the beginning of the series, in Hot Zone, we saw Rodney as chief scientist being brisk and a little grouchy, but completely sincere in congratulating his underlings and telling them they did well. I think that's something people forget about Rodney - he's completely stunted when it comes to appreciating people, but he's always sincere when he manages it, and every time something happens to one of His People, you can see how much it affects him. He's sort of like a really disgruntled sheep herder who constantly complains about how smelly and annoying and inconvenient his sheep are, but will fight off wolves to protect them."

- Me, on whether or not Rodney is a nice guy

There was going to be an accompanying drabble, but I started laughing and couldn't stop. Aliens are stealing Rodney's sheep! No one believes him! Except, of course, for the handsome, eccentrically-haired cop with a shady past who's assigned to Rodney's case. Cue sex in the back of a pick up truck during a stake out! (Someone who is not me clearly needs to write this.)

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

I AM BUT A DABBLER, MADAM.

Yeah, DHew is pretty much off the charts in that one. Hnghf.

*extracts, pets*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAH!!!! Michael is insane. <3

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD MAKE SOME MAGIC?

[trinity_clare]

The best part is that we ALREADY HAVE "John: Shepherd" fic, so clearly it this needs to exist as well.

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

MAGICAL MANIPS! You know, Rodney and John and unicorns, that sort of thing.

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

And his character was named Rodney, too! I'm pretty sure it's all a sign. (Of what, that I'm not so sure about. That I'm mentally unbalanced?)

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

But - but. I need that. D:

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! Must be fair about it, right?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

AHAHAA OH GOD WHY DID YOU PLANT THAT SEED?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Rodney will soon be driven to madness by John's suicidal lifestyle and take to carrying a plastic lamb around Atlantis?

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

Everyone's a little concerned, naturally, but they don't quite know how to broach the topic. What are they going to say, "Hey Rodney, what's up with the inflatable sheep you've suddenly acquired?"

And then they notice Rodney has started talking to the thing.

I like the way you think - about Rodney's sincerity and especially the idea about the story! You should totally do that one.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

At first, he mostly bitches about coffee and his lack of it, but sometime between week two and week four, a few of his scientists report him as muttering, "It's a plot! A plot, I say!" and, "MIT wanted me to rule the world for them, you know!"

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

"So," John says, locked in a tiny room he figures must have been an Ancient linen closet with Ronon and Teyla, "any ideas?"

"Something must be done," Teyla agrees. "I do not think Rodney's recent behavior is healthy."

"Yeah, he's nuts," says Ronon.

"Okay, then." John takes a deep breath and makes himself say the words. "How are we going to get rid of the inflatable sheep without him noticing?"

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Thank you! A lot of people overlook that Rodney for whatever reason, which is incredibly sad, but! Anyway. Maybe that fic will be my reward for surviving big bang, hahah.
