Amok Time is so important to me as an aspec person because not only does it explore compulsory heterosexuality, but compulsory sexuality, full stop. Spock describes his logic—which he identifies with on the deepest level—as being ripped away from him. His very sense of self is being violated by these sexual urges. This is something I’ve had to reconcile with myself as well, as someone who identified as ace for so long, but occasionally does experience sexual attraction. It can feel like losing your identity, your logical sanity.

Spock says he hoped he would be spared having to go through Pon Farr. Interestingly, he doesn’t imply this would be because he’s half human. I think Spock genuinely thought his lack of interest in sex with women, and sex in general, would prevent him from experiencing this compulsion. He really thought he could logic his way out. I feel that, buddy.

Theodore Sturgeon probably had no intention of creating this kind of relatability when he wrote the episode, but that’s the power of queer characters. The queer is gonna jump out whether you want it to or not.

And now, back to the show!!

Since Caine (Rest in Pieces) has been recently deleted, a new vacant spot for the Digital Circus Ringmaster has been recently opened!

Luckily, Bubble is just oh so happy to fill in!

Dw tho, Caine is still around....

I imagine that IF Bubble were to be a RingMaster, and if Bubble IS Abel...

He would be the "better" of the two...

And I think he would give the Circus Members EXACTLY what they want.

Shout everyone else taking the vow of silence today

Been itching to make Sir Caine happen with my own two hands. Just an idea that desperately needed to escape my head. Colored chain mail and all. What do yall think?

We're a team, a group. Group of the two of us. And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't.

really underrated part of the LotR films is when gollum gets exposition lines. like can you imagine? you're travelling with the most fucked-up evil little murder greyhound creature imaginable and he lives in a cave and doesn't know about potatoes but from time to time you have to ask him about local geopolitics. and he answers you

in another world arthur and gwen’s relationship is tested not by a magic spell making her cheat with lancelot, but by both of them finding out morgana has magic (before she leaves camelot) and disagreeing on what to do about it

Watching the clone wars as a military brat, especially as someone who’s been on a tiger cruise (take your kid to work day but it’s like a week long and on a navy ship) is surreal because it’s so accurate to military behavior.

Stupid nicknames usually related to something embarrassing or just the thing they’re most associated with.

“Alright men what’s the problem, I’m missing dinner.” -Anakin. Word for word quoting my uncle.

Random solidarity with the enemy. One pilot for some middle eastern country regularly flew by a a ship solely to ask for his (U.S.)college basketball team’s scores. And he usually got them.

“Everything is fine in the hanger sir”

The hanger: $8,000 of tax dollars in damages

Randomly dissing their commanding officers in front of them but it’s fine because they’re off duty.

“We have a strictly professional relationship.” They’re best friends and have literally forged each other’s signatures so their spouses can give them a surprise vacation.

Covering for each other so they can call their spouses. Even though everyone knows exactly what is going on.

The “totally secret” room of contraband.

Swapping name tags/armor to cover for someone because they can’t tell you apart in the uniform
