For [livejournal.com profile] springwoof: Five magazine covers the band was featured on (and why Rodney hates them).

1. Rolling Stone

“The Puddlejumpers: Band of the Year”

What a brilliant idea! Let Ronon stand in front of everyone. He knew that photographer was an idiot.

(Also, seriously: why did he let John talk him into wearing that coat?)

2. People Weekly

Shep’s on the cover of the 50 Most Beautiful People issue. The whole band is given a photo on the inside, as well as a lavish, drooling write-up for Shep, and almost equally praise-worthy paragraphs for Ronon and Teyla.

Rodney gets this sentence: “Even the band’s lead guitarist, Rodney McKay, is handsome in a frog-like way.”

Rodney’s shriek of “What?” can be heard across the recording space even without the aid of his microphone.

3. Time

“The Puddlejumpers: Band of Our Time”

(Oh God, does his mouth really look like that? And his hair looks like it’s thinning. You can see that it’s thinning! He should buy a hat.)

4. The National Enquirer

“I just got off the phone with Mister Caldwell,” Elizabeth says. “The label would like to meet with you.”

Rodney nods. Beside him, John is still as stone.

“All of us?” Teyla asks. Like a challenge.

“No.” Elizabeth folds her hands. “Just…” She doesn’t even have to say.

“We should go together,” says Ronon. Rodney wants to tell him not to be an idiot. He wants to hug him.

Elizabeth sighs. “I’m afraid it’s out of my hands.”

And it is: out across the world, in every major paper and on every 24-hour news network and atop all but the most catatonic blogs. The story. The photos.

For the first time, Rodney feels some respect for the tabloids. They just printed what they were sent, splash across the front page (with a promise of the juicier images inside), the headline as bold and plain as it could be. SHEP AND PUDDLEJUMPERS GUITARIST CAUGHT IN GAY SEX SHOCKER! At least they were upfront about it.

Though did they really have to name Shep and not him? Rodney is just as important…and just as gay, dammit. He takes it back: everyone at The National Enquirer is an asshole.

There was no reason to single John out. Because as much as the label, as the media, would like to make him think so, John is not alone in this. Rodney knows it. He looks at Ronon and Teyla, at Elizabeth and Radek and Lorne. Deliberately, he reaches over and takes John’s hand.

“Come on,” he says, relieved when John doesn’t pull back. “Let’s get this ridiculous farce over with.”

5. Out

His mouth looks weird and his hair looks thin and he should never have let John talk him into wearing that coat. Otherwise, it’s fine.

I love the Puddlejumpers-series. And the five-things-thing that's going around and this combines it. That's most wonderful.

I might give one of these covers a try when I find some time.

Yay!

I *heart* Ronon and Teyla--“We should go together,” says Ronon. Rodney wants to tell him not to be an idiot. He wants to hug him.
The team band that plays together, stays together...

and also, this:
Rodney’s shriek of “What?” can be heard across the recording space even without the aid of his microphone.

made me guffaw, completely without any dignity whatsoever...

Don't blame me! Blame People that article about David Hewlett that was all over the place a few months ago! I only quote!

(You know I think Rodney/Hewlett's mouth is teh sex.)

(And I know you are probably kidding, but you intimidate me with your capslock.)

I love the last two especially. "Let's get this over with..." and the final mag cover is "Out". That was fabulous.

I only use the capslock as a piece of bravado behind which to hide; in real life, I am shy and retiring. I may possibly quail.

There was an article which described the Hewlett as such? *shakes tiny first*

Rodney's mouth is... *daydreams*

You don't remember that article? It was from the Canadian press, and it was incredibly complimentary...except for that description. WTF?

(I am also inspired by the article that once infamously described Adam Clayton as "Handsome in an ugly way.")

Perhaps I have repressed that article? Alternatively, the fact that I notoriously have a brain like a sieve may have played a part. :/

WAH!!!!!!!! Why do I have to be on vacation when you produce this? I want to draw/manip all of them! My father lives in the dark ages: I have no photoshop and no scanner and the computer is a pentium 2. You are evil.

Also now for some reason I want to go and look at 'Out' covers.
