Oddly, this came to me as I was putting on makeup and turning over anna_luna's kid!AU artpiece, "Hide and Seek," and how I really don't want to think about the things I have to do today
( Read more... )
Oh my gosh, you are SO RIGHT. That is actually exactly perfect. No wonder I love them so much!
It sucks... I was trying to talk intelligently to one student about his classwork, and the entire time I was envisioning John tackling Rodney as Rodney walks through the door to his quarters.
I probably love the idea of John only existing in Rodney's head a little too much. (But then I've always half wanted to write a SGA/Fight Club!AU. Except Sam would be in Rodney's head, not John. John would be Helena Bonham-Carter.)

Ha! You know, there is a reason why I shouldn't ever share bunnies like this one. The chance of this ever getting written are minimal. 'Cause, you know, what would I do with the fight club thing? Would I have Rodney beat up Sam? S'complicated.
OMG! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that! I've been (slowly) making "Calvin and Hobbes/Rodney and John" icons, and I had this sitting around on my hard drive, saved, which I planned to post along with my icons when I finish making them, but since you are so clearly a kindred spirit in the C&H love, you get a sneak peak. ;)
How Calvin is like Rodney, Hobbes is like John, and Susie Derkins is like Elizabeth

I've been (slowly) making "Calvin and Hobbes/Rodney and John" icons,
That is all kinds of awesome right there. Seriously, ALL KINDS. Hurry and finish! Hurryhurryhurry!
How Calvin is like Rodney, Hobbes is like John, and Susie Derkins is like Elizabeth:
Dear God, that is so so true. And, consequently, very cool. It would be so nice to add "Like Hobbes does to Calvin, John tackles Rodney on a regular basis," but alas... Though I now have crack-like visions of John being stuck on Atlantis while Rodney's away on a mission, then tackling him back through the stargate when Rodney tries to return to the city.
Oh, one more thing on Rodney/Calvin that's important: Despite the snark, egotism, melodrama, etc., Calvin has a fundamental sense of the coolness of the natural world as a place of exploration.
I don't think I'll ever forget the last strip, with Calvin and Hobbes sledding off into the distance and Calvin saying "It's a magical world, Hobbes old buddy... Let's go exploring!" And that's pretty much the spirit Rodney's got, bitching and laziness aside--he wouldn't have gone to Atlantis if, deep down (even if he doesn't admit it to himself), he didn't believe the world should be treated like an adventure.
It is such a wonderful place. Everyone I've met here has been incredibly creative and inspiring and yes, very happy :D (Though also frustrated because I don't have time to write all of the things I think up...)
And speaking of which, the dragon AU snippet needs to behave itself. It wants to be this long, oddish hybrid of angst and fluff and grr! Misbehaving stories...
Unfortunately I don't know enough about Calvin and Hobbes to draw John and Rodney as them...
Oh, you MUST explore the wonderful world of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes, one of the best American comic strips OF ALL TIME. Check out ras_elased's comment above for more on Calvin's and Hobbes' personalities. (Wikipedia has articles on the comic book in general, as well as Calvin and Hobbes specifically.
Calvin is a lot like Rodney in many ways; to quote Watterson, "... outgoing and rambunctious and there's not much of a filter between his brain and his mouth." Hobbes likes pouncing on Calvin as he walks through the door :D

Obviously, Elizabeth is mom.

Hmm... I love this fandom!
I love how one thing sparks something else in someone and that new something is extremely incredible...
Unfortunately I don't know enough about Calvin and Hobbes to draw John and Rodney as them... but maybe if you someone gave me a script...

I just had to squee at you some more without spamming your LJ :D
My dog is looking at me with great concern... He feels I'm not supposed to make these noises.
