Can't Read My Poker Face

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?)

Lol. That's not too patronizing or anything?

Oh I'm not opposed to it. And, like, I enjoy Kara/Faith as a pairing, as you know. But....I don't see it with any of the women in the BSGverse maybe?

Also I think Katee is very traditional/hetero for her own self and I don't think she brings a lot of intentional sexual chemistry to her scenes with women. I just don't see the chemistry.

Patronizing with love <3

K/F. I need to write some more of that.
