Re: sam, sam, the sunshine woman - 2/2

Poor dumb Sam and her poor dumb crush on her big gay CO
This cliche is so fucked up I don't even know where to begin. My biggest issue with it is IF JACK IS BONING DANIEL, THAT MAKES HIM BISEXUAL, NOT GAY. Because he never stops liking ~the ladies. In my fanons, (SG-1, SGA, XF, LotR, Farscape, Firefly...) I usually 'ship the main M/M pairings, based on the premise that the guys are BISEXUAL. Plus, I've never seen any indication in canon that Sam's a homophobe.

Paian's Appearance of Objects in Depth... Sam being angry and hurt that they would hide it from her, because she would have wanted to protect them.
Oh I need to read this. After I finish S8. So much of the best SG-1 fanfic is post-S6.

I don't think Sam would be that oblivious about it.
There's so much Jack/Daniel HoYay in canon, Sam can't help but notice.

she's hung up on not being hung up on him. She's the one who wanted to leave it in the room
Such a painful path she chose in that ep. A TOWER OF ANGST.

society at large views so much of relationships as the male's pursuit of the woman until she relents
UGGGHh the whole "women are responsible for men's morality because men are morally weak" concept really gets my goat. In the ass. With a fake penis.

oft-referenced and incorrectly applied Scorched Earth example
Sam obeys Jack's LET'S BLOW IT ALL UP Plan because he GAVE HER A DIRECT ORDER. You can see her chafing as she does it. (You can also see RDA wanting to wring Mallozzi & Mullie's necks for writing S1 Jack in S4.)

her sense of humor tends to be so understated and I think people miss that
Sam's humor is largely due to taking most of life *in* good humor. She just doesn't have the time or energy to waste on holding a grudge or being wanky about a pet peeve.

if there's anything Sam Carter has a lot of, it's feelings about stuff
That elevator scene in "Singularity" where Sam breaks down after leaving Cassandra? INSTANT CREYS ALL OVER MAI FACE

"naive"
More applicable to early S1 Daniel than to Sam, ever.
