Can't Read My Poker Face

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Ma ma ma ma...

 

No, this is not about Lady Gaga... or about playing cards. But about... well... what Poker Face is actually about--being bisexual and passing for heterosexual. Assumption of heterosexual until proven queer is really the default state of the world, it seems.

With the way gender seems to work within the world of BSG (that within the world there are no gender roles, women can do or be whatever and men can do or be whatever and neither is supposed to be any sort of way), I think it is a logical extrapolation to say that there would be no relationship roles either, no expected "man" and "woman" in the relationship. (Seriously, I've heard so many people ask of gay couples "so who is the man/woman in the relationship?") From that, a romantic/sexual relationship/encounter could occur between any two (or more) people. (And retroactively Caprica kind confirmed that. I love Serge Graystone's twitter and a tweet popped up once that marriage was never viewed as between a man and a woman on the colonies.)

Enough meta-ing about the BSG world, because I wanna bring this around to Kara... Kara loves sex. We hear from canon that she gets around, we do however only know of 4 partners she has canonically. (5 if you count the Major from who the hell knows that got mentioned in an argument. X if you believe Sam's line during the algae planet arc.) Personally, I think it would be rather dumb to assume that Kara only fraks men. To me, and my view of the BSG world, I think Kara's an equal opportunity kind of gal. In fact I did a little meta a while back about how it would affect the plot if Samuel Anders was Samantha Anders. (Plz, no ship wars, kthnx.)

Of course, this is just my opinion. But I want to pose the question to you: Is Kara straight? Bi? Pan? Heteroflexible? Given the opportunity, which female characters do you think Kara would get it on with? Would she have to be really drunk to do it? 

(Thanks to taragel  for letting me post this here. Hope I didn't frak with your mind too much! Can we count this as the daily kara post?)

So, Kara wants to get it on with the Pegasus ladies? ;)

Hell to the yeah! I think those Pegasus women have some kickass mojo going on. Hot! Oh, wait, this is about Kara..... ;)

I think in general people see Kara more with the Peggy girls (seriously, the first ones that jumped to mind for me were Cain and Showboat).... more than Galactica... I wonder why. I mean, I have read some Kara/Kat and Kara/Racetrack before, but I don't think it's as common.

Also I have been wanting to hunt down some Kara/Six since the uStreams because I am a terrible person.

Agreed, Kara and Pegasus ladies is lovely food for thought. I've always seen her fitting best with Kendra...something about their kitchen scene started that plot bunny in my head.

My theory on Pegasus vs. Galactica women for Kara is that the Peggy women are portrayed as stronger, more intelligent, and more challenging than those on Galactica. I just don't think Kara has much patience or tolerance for Kat and Racetrack. They're too often portrayed as whiny, less skilled(with the exception of Kat's Scar kill...which Kara GAVE her), and generally not worth Kara's time unless it's just a quick afterthought bash-head-into-table moment. The scenes Kara has with Cain/Showboat/Shaw show them on more equal footing with Kara. She shows them a respect she shows to only those she deems worthy (generally just Lee, Helo, +/- Athena, +/- Adama, +/-Roslin on Galactica).
