Non-Cannon Shipper Moments - A Look at Jayne Cobb

2006-09-17T00:48:49Z

*waves shyly (again)*

Anyone who ships couples that are non-canon will find any moment between them as fuel for a non-standard OTP. I had a notion to try and put together a series of screencaps looking at the moments of canon which make shipper's hearts beat a little faster. And, since I'm partial to the hero of canton (and since he has no canon ships to speak of, but plenty in fandom), I'm focusing on Jayne to start with. I've organized them in order of popularity by LJ community (where there is a LJ community).

If anyone has a problem with slash or non-canon ships (or competing OTPs), then you'll probably want to skip this post altogether. I'm not advocating for or against any of the ships - I'm just here for fun (and the pretty).

~*~*~*~* NON-CANON SHIPS WITH A LJ COMMUNITY *~*~*~*

First up, rayne_shippers: A River/Jayne Community - Watched by 458, there are plenty of Jayne/River shippers.

*blink* and you'll miss the moment in "Safe." Yes, that is River sneaking food off his plate and he doesn't 1) hit her; 2) yell at her; or 3) even get truly angry. He simply says, "Hey" in a (dare I say) playful way and reaches for the basket again as it crosses the table.

I believe it is "Ariel," however, that really sets the Rayne shippers hearts a flutter. "Ariel" you say? But... but... he turns them in! Yes, he does. But LOOK closely and see the following very interesting moments.

Her wake up phrase, "Copper for a Kiss." Hummm...

And then later there's this look, too.

That's Jayne's hand holding her back and she certainly doesn't seem unhappy.

R/J FIC REC: Carnival Series by aliaspiral. A fun ride of a fic where Jayne finds himself taking care of River through a carnival.

~*~*~*~*

jayne_simon: A Jayne/Simon Community - watched by 261

Oh, the banter that takes place between these two. Annoyance or attraction? Humm... let's see.

He says, "This must be what going mad feels like." What he's really saying is, "be still my beating heart."

And "Ariel" again presents us with some highly convincing evidence. First off, you can see the tension between the two here.

Notice the way Simon leans in to address Jayne. Simon always seems to be annoyed by Jayne, but sometimes that's all it takes to spark an interest.

And then later there is this prominent display of hero-worship...

This, of course, also takes place after Simon has been informed he has a pretty mouth.

J/S FIC REC: Noble as a Grape by angstslashhope.

~*~*~*~*

jaylee_ship: A Kaylee/Jayne Community - watched by 225

The Jayne/Kaylee shipper moment's start early in the series. As demonstrated in "Serenity"

You can say he doesn't care about anything but himself, but I think it's fair to say he seems worried for Kaylee.

And here we have a moment from "Bushwhacked."

Kaylee jumps up on Jayne's shoulder and subsequently scores a goal for their team. Hummm... did they do that often? Looks a mite practiced IMHO.

In "Trash," Jayne and Kaylee are working on the drone system together.

He's helping her up to do the job, but again... it's all about the "moment."

J/K FIC REC: Pieces by wily_one24. Written for the joss100 challenge, Pieces is 100 drabbles pieced together as one story. Start at #1 and go from there. It's got a little bit of everything.

~*~*~*~*

shiny_hats: A Mal/Jayne Community - watched by 172

In "out of Gas," Jayne preps a suit for Mal before leaving. Here we get a real glimpse of the concern Jayne has for Mal. He didn't have to go through the extra effort.

That's some caring right there...

In "Ariel" (again, the non-canon shipper's delight), there is no denying the emotions expressed here:

There's no denying the disappointment in Mal's eyes. But there's something else, too. It's love, in point of fact.

In "Objects in Space," there is a conversation between Mal and Jayne that also shows the raw emotion of this ship.

Jayne gets defensive when Mal accuses him of leaving his "hardware" out for River to find.

J/M FIC REC: Finished by ana_grrl A powerful lead-up to Jayne's actions in "Ariel."

~*~*~*~*

ji_beyond_this: A Jayne/Inara Community - watched by 43

Well, we all know Jayne's been in his bunk after seeing Inara with a client, but there are also a couple of moments that people might not have picked up on between the two.

In "Shindig," see how Inara watches Jayne. "As with other situations, the key seems to be giving Jayne a heavy stick and standing back."

And there's a piece in "Out of Gas" where comments are made about Inara's shuttle. She looks annoyed, but they're still sharing a moment. See how I stretch

J/I FIC REC: The Chosen: A Jayne/Inara Fic by rinalin. Serenity touches down at the Companion Training House, and Inara learns as much as she teaches.

~*~*~*~*

mercandthemate: A Zoe/Jayne 'Shipping Zone: Watched by 39

It's no secret that Jayne also finds Zoe attractive. And, he'll make snide comments from time to time when he can get away with it. The pairing was even aluded to more than once in the Serenity novelization.

In "Shindig," Wash wants to buy his wife a slinky dress. Jayne wants to pitch in. Zoe says she can hurt him. Notice the eyes, though.

I'd say Zoe likes the attention. That's a smile she's trying to hide if I've ever seen one.

Jewel Staite pointed this piece out as one of her top 5 in "Jaynestown." "Zoe sort of reaches out and swats him away, and the two of them share a little laugh... it's a brilliant moment." Anyone who ships Jayne/Zoe picks up on this as well.

Yep, definitely a "moment."

J/Z FIC REC: Blooming Cactus by agilebrit

~*~*~*~* NON-CANON SHIPS WITHOUT A LJ COMMUNITY *~*~*~*

Jayne/Wash - If Zoe can be paired with Jayne, why not the "little man?" While the pair doesn't have their own community, Wash does have his own slash community wherein stories of our favorite pilot can be found. Inevitable Slash: Wash Slash is currently watched by 41.

In "The Train Job," Simon drugs Jayne. Jayne goes crazy and falls asleep. Wash thoroughly enjoys this (as witnessed here):

While I couldn't get the cap of his face as he goes to set his foot on Jayne's back, it is pure satisfaction.

In "Bushwhacked," Wash is also on the Jayne/Kaylee team. (Jayne/Kaylee/Wash, eh? Anyone? Anyone?) *smacks self to stay focused* While he doesn't get on Jayne's shoulders, they obviously don't appear to have any problems on the same team. And, I believe it's where we first hear Jayne's pet name for Wash, "Little Man." Hummm...

J/W FIC REC: Do you like my raptor? by grapho_spasm. Funny. Silly. You will laugh.

~*~*~*~*

Jayne/Book - Sorry. For some reason I'm still thinking I can avoid that extra special level of hell.

~*~*~*~*

I started this post in January 2006. Since I began, 2 communities have popped up (ji_beyond_this & mercandthemate) and more than 250 people have been added to those numbers up there. Woo-Hoo! *gets lost in fandom*

Want to see a different character overly analyzed and paired up with someone in screencaps? Let me know... I'll add it to the list.

If I rec'd your fic and you'd rather I didn't, please let me know and I'll remove it. No harm intended. If you like a rec'd fic, make sure to let the writer know. [If you didn't, no need to say a word.] ;P

Out of Gas

2006-06-15T03:50:49Z

About a billion years ago, when I re-uploaded my caps, I did a cap spam of the first seven episodes, but stopped before OoG, because I said there was no way I'd be able to restrain myself. And I proved myself right.

Serenity. Dead in the water. *sniff*

*pets pretty Zoe*

Heh, Mal looks so effeminate in this cap.

"What's that, sir?"

"Just step around that, something must have been living in here."

"Get her running again? So not running now?"

"Not so much."

Not!Mal

Go, Mal, go!

"Yeah, 'cause sick people are HI-larious!"

Everyone together in one shot! I can only think of one other time when that happens (Heart of Gold, for those of you playing along at home)

That's one powerful inhale!

Time for some thrilling heroics.

Always include a crotch shot, that's what I say.

Mustache! *dies*

"I don't like him." Suuuure, Zoe, whatever...

"We finally got ourselves a genius mechanic, it's about time we hired someone to fly this damn thing."

"Genius? No one's ever called me that before. Shiny."

ICK #1

See? Inara agrees.

ICK #2

ICK x infinity!

"I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it."

OMG, PEOPLE! WHERE ARE ALL THE ICONS?!

"I just... It was my birthday."

"You're afraid we'll run out of air, die gasping. But that's not going to happen... We'll freeze to death first."

Gee, thanks for the pep talk.

"Well, maybe I'll do that then!"

"What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this? You'll use up all the air."

Hi!

"I seen the trouble plain as day when I was down there on my back before."

"I'm pointin' right at it."

"What do you need two mechanics for?"

"I really don't."

"Sometime a thing gets broke, can't be fixed."

Salvation! Huzzah!

Blessed oxygen.

Oops!

Damn!

"Not as deceiving as a low down dirty...deceiver."

"Had a kind of poetry to it, sir."

*is confused*

"I'm listening."

No, this is salvation.

Mal. Bad, in the Latin.

Doped up Mal is fun!

"Won't happen again, sir."

See? Fun!

"Y'all gonna be here when I wake up?"

Look how young he looks! Bangs=young. Who knew?

Home.

It's image heavy and contains spoilers for all aired episodes of Firefly and the newest season of Doctor Who.

Don't know if anyone has posted about this, but I'll put one up about it anyway, just in case.

For those who are fans of Ctrl+Alt+Del, the artist Tim Buckley had posted up a real shiny sketch of our Cap'n Mal and Serenity for one of his roommates. Lucky, lucky guy that roommate.

I have bigger ones if you guys would like, but it'll take a while to load.

Not screencaps, but...

And for Kaylee/Simon ship (well, no, not real;y, but whatever):

BTW, Kaylee looks AWESOME with her greasy face.

And for all the crew (except for Book):

I've been looking for photomosaics of Firefly/Serenity, but haven't been able to find any. Does anyone here have such a thing?
Conversely, is anyone else interested in this? I found a site with free software, http://www.andreaplanet.com/andreamosaic/ , to make your own. I hope to see some soon, maybe even something of my own!

Hey everyone... new here. I thought I would share some wallpapers I have made with you.

ETA: My webhosting had a server failure and is switching me to a new server, but all the data was lost, which means once the new server is set up I have to reload my whole site.

Once that is done I will post a link to the wallpapers again.

This makes me very happy. It's Serenity lego-style. Image and link under cut.

"Malcolm's Song"
By BigPop
(J.Cash Style Ballad sung slow/broken)

She sings to me when she should cry,
takes me wherever I would go.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
where’s our next job, I do not know.

Serenity, my home in space or sky,
With her I’ll stay ‘til I’m laid low.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
wherever she'll take me, there I'll go.

Takes more'in fuel to make her fly,
and she wouldn't take best in show.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
where’s our next job, I do not know.

It's love that keeps her up in the sky,
and our families devotion, that I know.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
wherever she'll take me, there I'll go.

Mayhap one day she'll up and die,
till then she takes me where I'd go.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
where’s our next job, I do not know.

Serenity, my home in space or sky,
With her I’ll stay ‘til I’m laid low.
‘Cross the ‘verse our family flies,
wherever she'll take me, there I'll go.

And here is something you can use as a side wallpaper on your LJ.

Summer Rayne

2006-03-10T00:33:21Z

Two desktops for your desktopy pleasure. I'm quite proud of the Rayne one. It turned out better than I thought it would!

Lyrics used on the Rayne desktop are from the song "Fear and Love" By Morcheeba. It's a very Raynish song I think.

I just got done uploading my Firefly caps to their new space, and in doing so I realized just how damn pretty the show is. I had to picspam. But just the first half of the season has something like 70 caps, so the second half will have to wait 'til another day.

I don't even mind the motion blur. In fact, I even think it adds to the cap.

The quintessential Firefly image.

It's the foot on his back that makes it art.

"Could we *be* more bored?"

I just realized why this shot seems so familiar - it's like the little boy in the X-Files movie.

I love how Wash is the only one with his hands up. Hee!

Heh.

*sulks*

I love the togetherness and domesticity of this cap. Also? Tongue.

OMG Squeeee!

I may 'ship Mal and the Mrs. just the teeeensiest bit.

The caps are located here.

Looking for caps...

2006-02-14T15:18:41Z

I'm looking for screen caps from the extended Firefly gag reel. I have the file on my computer but sadly it's not in a format I can cap from.

Anyway, I'm specifically looking for the part when Alan, Nathan, and Gina are standing together with the moustaches on. Can anyone help? :)

firefly_daily @ 2006-02-13T23:04:00

2006-02-13T23:07:37Z

Last batch, I promise. I will stop bugging y'all after this. ~~However there is a second disc with more extras...~~

Nathan is so in character here that he scares me

Here, not so much

”I got rolled, I got rolled”

”It was a tramful of tourists”

”I think they said they were from Nevada”

”They’re tough, they’re tough. Desert folk you know. Nomads”

”That’s them. That’s the ones. I’d pick them out of a line up. They’re a lot tougher
than they look, and they fight dirty”

”How many takes does that say?”

”6” *Nathan makes an “I’m in a lot of pain” noise*

”If only you could do that on film. Or anything”

*shrugs* “That’s cool”

”OK, he says ‘go do the thing!’”

Dear Joss, can I have your babies? Love Nathan

Even the editor is hot – what is going on with this film?

He’s such a dork!

”He’s squeezing you and you’re squeezing him and who’s gonna win?
And it’s you”

She enjoyed that just a little bit too much

”I love Summer. She’s so…”

”…HOT!”

”They’re just good friends”

Adam clearly wants to kill Joss. ~~Maybe he cut the Rayne love scene?~~

”Shiny, let’s be bad guys”

Nathan spoils the moment by farting on his hand

Morena and Gina are crying with laughter in the background “Did you say
dirt nap with baby Jesus?”

Awwww. I’m not crying. Really.

And for the final time I say this - please don't hotlink! The first two batches are here and here.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go an apologise to my DVD.

firefly_daily @ 2006-02-13T17:31:00

2006-02-13T17:31:42Z

There's about 35 caps under the cut from the documentary (I posted the first lot yesterday.) This is from the first 11 minutes. I'll do the second half later as my brain is about to fall out.

”I am the director. To put the man in the frame of the lens of the camera,
then they make the movie to happen… for people… to see

Big damn heroes

”Ssshh, we’re gonna need a new Joss. Ssshhhh”

GLASSES!

GLASSES!

I don’t think Morena is wearing make up. That bitch!

OMFG SO HOT! *dies*

So he does have more than two shirts

GLASSES!

Is it wrong to want them to start dating?

HEE!

She’s so pretty

”You just have to have a little hooch”

He’s being so cute here – making the noise that kids do with fake guns

”Leave Zoe! I mean, leave Jayne! Zoe go! Drive Damnit!”

No idea what they’re doing, but I like to think Nate is showing Sean a naked photo of himself

Sean pretends to hide his ~~love for Nathan~~ spicky

He’s running around laughing. Hence the blurry

Joss shouts cut so Nathan sticks his arse in Morena’s face.

Space hookers have some classy jewellery

RON!

How does this man looks so hot in a kilt?

Water is falling on them. But from where?

Where else?

The Operative is smiling!

I wished I shipped Mal/Zoe

This man should be very familiar to Brtish Conventioneers – it’s SEAN!

I wish they’d filmed Adam and Summer instead of the monitor

”You’re not so tough. You’re not so tough! You’re just a little girl!
There was a little girl, she had a little curl. OK GO!” *Summer grabs his goolies*

CUTE!

Now that is concentration.

Holy fricking crap!

Summer is my hero

And the scores are in…

Again, please please please don't hotlink. And I apologise if photobucket goes mental as I have a feeling my bandwidth is taking a beating. But it's the only place I have to host them so it'll have to do.

See as I am spamming myself round a whole bunch of Firefly communities (OK, two), I thought I'd join here and share some caps of the extra documentary that the Region 2, 4 and possibly 5 DVDs got. What can I say. Sorry region 1ers.

I love me some glasses but YOWSER Alan!

Awww!

"That just sounds so dirty!"

The cutest damn girl ever

But where is Ron?

"I just get an itch right about here when I see those harpoons"

I love this man

""A space hickey! It'll be great."

"A spicky?"

Boys, boys, boys...

...you're both pretty

Uh, Alan?

Joss, this is what was needed in film!

"Stay in school kids"

"Flipityjew"

"Jesus Christ, he's been drinking again Gina"

"He's a hair actor. He knows it. And that's allI have to say about Nathan"

"Listen Adam. I want you to consider, for this next take - Act less..."

"No wait, act more. No...

"Stop what you're doing and just get it right"

"Are we clear on the pick up?" "No, I was joking around."

"Well, what did we learn today?" "Joss is Boss"

I can do more when it's not 2am if you want :)

EDIT: Figure I may as well mention the icons I made of them. So... mentioned.

And please, for the love of all things holy, don't hotlink. It's just mean.

So I am looking for a particular fan-made music video. It's set to the tune of 'I need a Hero', it starts with Jayne's line "Time for some thrilling heroics", and ends with the "Big Damn Hero's, Sir" bit. It's wonderful and fantastic, and I can't find it ANYWHERE! I thought perhaps some of you lovely people might know where it is.

In return I offer some things I did find

http://dearone.net/media.php- has a number of videos. Not all of them are Whedon, but there is one, Nobody Does it Better, which is quite good.

really random picture of Sean from... something else..

Painting of the cast, really reminiscent of the old Star Wars posters.

Any knowledge of the video would be much appreciated!
