A Reminder: MADE OF AWESOME

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

 

You guys, just in case you forgot, KARA THRACE? IS AWESOME!

Sometimes I feel like in all the talk of destiny and relationships, self-destruction and harbingery....we forget sometimes just how much of a BAD ASS MOTHER FRAKKER Kara is. We forget her swagger and her smirkiness, and how she once tore the brain out of an enemy ship so she could fly herself off a remote moon! We forget how she pulled off impossible feats like taking out 8 raiders in one battle and landing her ship on bingo fuel with a huge hole in the side! We forget that she beat down a Six and got herself an arrow and saved a whole bunch of survivors off Caprica with an adorable nose crinkle to boot! 

Post a drabble or your favorite vid or a fic rec link or just some thoughts on Kara being amazing. Instead of focusing on the angst and the bad breaks, let's accentuate Kara's best qualities, her determination, her bravery, her skill. 

Here's some prompts to start you off! But feel free to add your own in the comments. Maybe you'll inspire someone else to create:

Retina-detaching moves
Bragging is for amateurs
Splash One
Raise Your Glass

Getting the best of a superior asshole

Top Gun

Best shot in or out of the cockpit

Baby, you're a firework

Bingo Fuel or Bust!

Smirk

"It's about time you admit it."

Dead and Loving It! (hee)

Hit me with your best shot

Getting the last word

Talk is cheap

 

And here's a vid I made a long time ago celebrating Kara's awesomeness:

Absolutly. *dedicates rest of day to Kara Thrace*

I tend to bookmark angsty Kara fic rather than "Get stuff done better than you" Kara fic.

That being said, How The Viper Jock Met The Choirboy (And It Didn't End In Tears) (http://trovia.livejournal.com/13221.html?style=mine) has Kara and Chief Tyrol friendship, with lots of Kara smirking and knowing better than you Galen.

And Dislocation (http://users.livejournal.com/wisteria_/548807.html) is Kara and Lee (and Kara/Lee) on our Earth, in which Kara is competent and awesome. And she smirks.

Ah I love Dislocation and I love Kara & Chief and that was an awesome bar fic!

I think there is a surprising lack of "Kara is made of win" fic in this fandom. Maybe people thought canon provided enough of that already? *shrugs*

I'm not sure that this is exactly in theme, but this is a angst-free crack vid that I did a couple of years ago: Lee Adama can't resist Kara awesomeness.
