" I was there, remember?" ( from McCoy)

the intake of air that enters into his nose could very well be audible, depending on just how perceptive one might be. both eyes and angled brows rising from their previously neutral disposition, as though physically restraining the impulse to roll. meanwhile, his head tilts slightly backward, before redirecting to the side. all of it then re-neutralizing within a few blinks..

he finds himself momentarily inclined to emulate the doctor's habit of rocking upon the balls of his feet. however, it is dismissed almost immediately. either hand remaining locked behind his back, and resting upon the base of his spine.

"yes . . . how could i forget, doctor?" his voice is low, dry. chin rising as he now blinks calmly. "your constant prodding and frequent interjections were rather difficult to ignore." there's another slight lift to his brows.

"however, I fail to understand the relevance of your observation." he goes from looking slightly past the doctor, to meeting his eyes with a slight cant of his head. cheek flaring due to a subtle clench of his jaw that comes alongside another blink. brows narrowing, slightly "you requested further analyses, which i have since provided." the vulcan pauses to inhale. "therefore your emotional interpretation of the situation hardly seems relevant to the objective scientific facts."

PRE ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS. @lightcreators.

"half a plan is good enough." (from nora!)

uniform clad arms have thus far been folded across his chest. a slight straightening of his spine further puctuating already perfect posture, as either angled brow shoots upward. head turned minutely as the officer directs his attention from the delapitated building that was currently under consideration, to regard the woman to his direct left. "a most illogical statement, madam. however, i do understand its premise." his eyes are slightly squinted from the direct sunlight, however perhaps not as much as would a typical human. the radiating heat much welcomed, considering vulcan is a dry, arid, desert world.

of course, there are often times where a complete plan was unable to be formed - especially where the captain was concerned. as there were, implied within the very nature of their task, many unknown variables that could not always be accounted for. and experience had demonstrated that the captain was often willing to proceed despite such uncertainty. spock habitually obligated to agree. forced to acknowledge that kirk's tendency to indulge his impulses are percicely the reason for the merit of his command. and this particular situation, seemed much in the same vein. for the facts remained unchanged. the communications device necessitated materials presently located within that very structure. so consequently, said structure would have to be cleared.

"nevertheless, i am not currently aware of any suitable alternative." his voice tapers off to a low rumble. hand gripping at his tricorder, and bringing it upward from where it rests upon his hip. "sensor readings indicate approximately twenty life forms - fourteen human, six canine. likely what you refer to as 'raiders'. however, external factors could be comprimising data accuracy." eyes raise back to survey the outer perimeter.

he raises a hand, sweeping upward from where he retires his scanning device. palm upward, as dark eyes find her anew. "shall we proceed?"

the cruel prince. @wanderswastes.

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – 1.29 "Operation -- Annihilate!"

[boldlogic]

i read another fifty pages of this book at work today and it is.. is so juicy when it comes to spock dealing with emotion - both in regards to others, and to himself. there's even a mind meld with kirk involved which is always fucking peak content.

( putting this under the cut so i can go ahead and paste book pics )

firstly, he becomes influenced and subsequently controlled by a telepathic mind with the capacity to do so to any telepath, and kirk remarks about it embarrassing spock. the way he speaks low, and gets closer to speak of it. there's two examples where it's brought up, after kirk gets him to recognize the influence in a crazy tense scene and sends spock into one of his . . . mind protection states, having to shut down his mental systems as a defence in order to differentiate which blocks would be necessary. it's not unlike in private little war when spock is injured and does the same to heal, although he was a bit less aware of his surroundings in this instance.

after he wakes up which is around 30 seconds to chapel, mccoy and kirk - but feels like longer to him - he indicates that he hadn't known that he was still breached, and when mccoy asked how he realized differently he goes 'i trusted the captain' 🥲

this moment i just liked a lot :3 😭

okay so they later needed to figure out a way to help the isitri because the oppressive mind had made it to the homeworld from their separate colony meaning they were all under its control. so kirk wanted spock to tap into memories passed between the two, which worried spock because he would have to lower mental barriers - more than he thought - and was concerned that berlis would access him again. and he suggested kirk be the buffer to ensure that didn't happen, and the plea in his voice when berlis is trying to break through? i always love seeing others' emotions coming out through spock in these moments

they figure out through this meld that one of the troubled minds as they're called, was exiled - and when they found her, the woman was a bit unsettled by spock - i assume because she was afraid that she would influence him as a telepath. spock was entirely overwhelmed by her emotion, and there was a tear that he cried - and a moment of misery on his face ..

other than kirk's reaction to this being so fucking normal and hetero, spock then proceeded to TELL HER her emotion was overwhelming, and asked her why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don’t go out there.

pretty AND smart. we’re gonna get along just fine.

if you hurt her i’ll kill you!

what are you doing here?

you’re late. as usual.

you’re in this with me now, [ name ].

no one else is gonna save you.

why don’t you slip into something more comfy, huh? like a coma!

i’m gonna put you in the ground like it’s my job.

you’re following me?

i noticed you already ‘borrowed’ all of my whiskey.

you’re supposed to be normal - you’re supposed to be SAFE!

of all the things i’ve ever wanted to call you? you’re such a coward.

wanna know how batshit i am? nobody shoots my family but me.

you stupid, crazy bitch.

you’re really staying this time, aren’t you?

this is blackmail, you dick!

how DARE you!

you owe me dinner. i’ll settle for tacos!

it seems i have settled among a commune of artists.

how about smiling, huh? you ever do that?

well, i like attention. i always have.

you ain’t one of us.

i’ve been meaning to introduce myself, i’m [ name ].

when i see something i like, i don’t wanna wait.

good thing you’re not some guy, right, or this would be really, really awkward ...

you don’t have to be nice to everybody.

i would remember a face like yours.

i’m an excellent judge of character.

you’re so not my type.

darlin’, i’m everybody’s type.

the dead don’t get a vote.

pfft, rookie mistake.

god, that’s super weird — what’s going on?

you need to hide.

run ! i’ll hold them off.

i am sorry, [ name ], but it’s you or me.

you’re a good man! you’ve got a code!

you don’t wanna do this!

you have no idea what i want.

buy me a round, [ name ]? seems like you’re just my type.

we can’t all settle down with our high-school sweethearts.

welcome to team ‘shut up and do what he says’. sometimes, we get donuts.

you should be doing this. you were meant to.

deal with that ... or i will.

we didn’t trust each other ... and now look what i’ve done.

you do not know what i am.

you’re supposed to be a hero.

pull your head out of the past.

the hell took you so long?

this is what our victories might have to look like.

look, if you’re about to propose a threesome, i’m tired and i haven’t shaved my legs.

this just doesn’t make sense to me.

goddamn, it’s you.

the problem with this criminal thing, is it’s kinda fun.

i can’t live like this, not anymore

don’t get your hopes up, we don’t know what we’re gonna find.

it wasn’t my idea to do this.

this is the only way to sanctuary.

you just could never help yourself.

vengeance is hollow, [ name ]. it isn’t worth a thing.

you’re not a monster.

i need rules. a code. otherwise i’ll end up just like you.

stop kidding yourself, [ name ], you are exactly like me.

i sympathize with your predicament.

leave, if you want.  go get ... dead.

only one death scares me, and it didn’t take.

ugh, ever heard of manscaping?

come on, he is just ... so beneath you.

what’s up, [ name ]? i never see you.

i’m the one with the vendetta, why are you gunning so hard?

we? there’s no ‘we’.

why should i help you?

you think an $8 bottle of pinot will make me listen?

i never liked you, you know.

am i in danger?

back then, you lived and died by what the seasons gave you.

shut up and help me.

can’t we just enjoy the moment for once?

[ name ], now is not a good time.

happiness is a myth.

would you like some company?

it’s gonna be a long night,  might as well make it fun.

you’ve done your worst.

how many tiny pillows does one girl need?

hold on a second, i want to record this so i can replay it to you when you’re being a dick.

you being here is definitely not selling ‘normal’.

there’s been a change of plans, i need to go away for awhile.

this is supremely cryptic, even for you.

say ‘pomegranate’ if someone’s got a gun on you.

this doesn’t seem healthy, [ name ].

i don’t really care where we are, as long as we’re all together.

are you sure you’re okay?

don’t be cross, i’ve got wood.

your ass is like ... top shelf.

dude, you’re like a walking bumper sticker.

is this strip poker? i’m not shy...

this kind of wound won’t heal, i’m dead already.

you save your vendetta for another night.

you suck at your job.

don’t shoot me, [ name ].

honestly, [ name ], you’ve gotten so weird.

that is NOT sexy!

nobody keeps booze in here, [ name ].

i think somebody’s trying to scare you ... toy with you. why?!

you of all people should know better than to try and make me question my sanity.

what do you MEAN you killed a stripper?

in my experience, dynamite solves all manner of problems.

haven’t you read a romance novel lately? heroes always win.

oh, you want to be a hero?

wanna tell me what that was about?

that was really brave. stupid, but brave.

i have something i need to say.

i’m starting to think sanity’s overrated.

i understand if you hate me.

you’re always, ALWAYS lying.

we should get some breakfast, i could murder a stack of pancakes.

you should know by now, i’m not most people.

well, you learn something new every day.

hey, no, you’re okay. lay back.

[ name ], i need you to listen to me.

okay, [ name ], we’re in serious shit here.

park your daddy issues.

i’m not like you, [ name ]. i’m not brave.

what was the last thing you saw?

close your eyes, take a deep breath in.

look at who the cat dragged in.

cut the bullshit. i know who you are.

you use humor as a form of self - defense.

answer my questions without any more guff.

what is it with psycho’s and talking in the third person?

you’re not really in the position to do any bargaining, are you?

you do look like you can handle yourself.

you want my help? you need to earn it.

i guess [ name ] wants you alive for something.

we should make it look real.

you know how to make someone show you where something precious is hidden? set fire to their house. it’s the first thing they go for.

don’t be irrational, [ name ].

you served your purpose, and now you are released.

i’ve had a lot of names, but you can call me [ name ].

you weren’t leaving without me, were you?

never touch my stuff.

you’re the sickest puppy in the litter.

you were dead ... and now you are not.

oh, aren’t you the master of deception?

let’s not kid ourselves, you’re not going to survive this.

[ name ], i always hoped that i would have this pleasure.

if you stand for nothing, you are sure to fall.

you do what you do best, [ name ], you fight.

you’re just like me. you’re broken.

i’m not lonesome, i just prefer to hunt alone.

you have to let go sometime, [ name ].

you continue to disappoint me.

let me make it up to you.

i thought i’d feel different. i thought i’d look different.

you release the rage, you might find there’s nothing left.

woah, wow, this is not what i expected the cat to drag in.

for the first time in ages, i woke up and knew exactly what i needed to do.

you can try, but i dare you to cockblock the drive i woke up with this morning.

i’ll sleep when i’m dead.

you’re not alone,  [ name ].

just once i want you to say it. that you care about me.

someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

why do i even get out of bed?

i lost you once, i won’t let that happen again.

[ name ], you are shakin’ like a leaf.

jesus, listen to me. maybe i am crazy.

i’m not sure this is the best idea.

you’re the one who told me i should blow off steam.

i’m not crazy, right? there’s something going on here.

you’re making fun of me ...

get in the car.

could everybody just stand still for one freakin’ minute?!

it’s gonna be okay.

i just screamed at you, you shouldn’t be nice to me.

we’re not dating.

i would never ask you to be someone you’re not.

yeah, sure, [ name ], whatever you want.

[ name ], what kind of a mess have you got yourself into now?

if you shoot, this all goes to shit.

your poker face is pitiful.

sorry, no speak evil.

who won’t you make a deal with, huh?

you can judge me all you want.

what do i care for some broken woman’s opinion of my character?

you can talk all you want. they’ll be your last words, anyways.

this whole time you’ve thought this was personal.

you shut your lying mouth.

what happened to being friends?

it’s not so easy to be brazen when the thing that you want, that scares you to death, is sitting right in front of you.

i scare you?

when i think about what i wanna do most in this world, it’s you.

jump in anytime, [ name ], because i really don’t know how to do this.

maybe you should make me.

i owe you a heap of thanks. and my life.

can i at least buy you a drink?

aw, [ name ], you really do care.

it’s worth dying to see the look on your face.

men are all the same. even the demonic ones.

[ name ], calm your tits. have a drink.

do me a goddamn favor and refrain from mentioning that name.

i think you would be very pretty in blue.

everybody knows... about us. the sex.

you tracked me?

what are you doing here, [ name ]?

if you’re keeping things from me, IMPORTANT things ...

don’t get all hard & forget that you’re human.

sun’s starting to go down, we should head back.

i feel a real connection with you, [ name ].

i do hate goodbyes.

look, we need you, okay?

can’t you at least try?

we can’t tell anyone. not until we know for sure.

i don’t want to be rude, but i don’t know any of you ... or what’s happening.

i don’t drink.

what kind of people give a kid a switchblade?

this is your home, [ name ].

how can you think this is funny?

i’ve been crazy, didn’t care for it.

i’ve been told i have character.

are you scared of me?

i need to start drinking less ... or much, much more.

how in the hell did you get this?

i lost control. i was angry at everything ... at everyone.

you promised to never tell anyone that.

it’s always been you and i.

it can be like it always was ... and different, too. in all the right ways.

you’re not alone anymore.

i think i got a little bit shot ...

i need you to tell me everything you know about [ name ].

i thought i was doing what you asked!

whatever you’ve got planned, i’m game.

now there’s a sight for sore eyes.

i don’t wanna hurt you.

why aren’t you more freaked out?

if there’s one thing i’ve learned this year, it’s that ‘good’ is a moving target.

what are you gonna do about it? tell on me?

who the hell are you?

you took it from me?

nobody’s getting hurt on my watch.

when are you gonna take responsibility for all that you’ve done?

i’m running out of goddamn time.

this isn’t over. i’m coming for you.

now you know how it feels when people take your things.

i know that you’re scared, so am i.

are you sure you’re up for this?

you might want to stand back.

you went wrong.

this one’s gonna hurt.

i’m ready for anything.

@boldlogic short starter call / from eowyn

‘   Do not -  go into the forest!   ‘   All her energies fuse into force, burning through Fréaláf’s hooves, a rain of mud stomped and thrown at Spock’s feet by them and his rump swinging to swish a tail at him. The twang of the leaves sours, with twitter of no bird, no other animal in it, and they sway angrily with no wind in the air. Do not dare blow back her words as how the younger warriors of Rohan do, like a noisy beak of brass, barren and bare inside! It is not sympathy of some hopeless wish that Éowyn wants.

‘   Many men it bade to take their ease there.   ‘   She flicks her chin to it.    ‘   And all have not returned. Not only will you pass into the hands of Dunlendings. Beyond them hides small deeds festered over so long a time. There are Men of Isengard, and Orc. Not two notes sounding together, but one and the same.   ‘  

[boldlogic]

there has been a certain . . . unease that has begun to emerge regarding the lingering too long around so many. seemingly illogical on the surface, as he has found that amongst these distinct cultures, his ears have been far more easily explainable than what was typically considered common. and yet, if one were to scrutinize him too closely - it would no doubt become obvious that he is not like most elves that the eorlingas, as they call themselves in their own language, or the rohirrim as they seem to be otherwise known - have come to understand. although in many ways, they are similar in nature. sharing a partiality to music, and physiques which conceal a surprising degree of physical strength . . . however, he is not particularly fair, nor is he light upon his feet. and, obviously, he is much more analytical than most. though while perhaps there is a certain grace that commands him, it is something of which he is not acutely aware.

he has since been separated from the captain, and doctor mccoy. unexpectedly not having been in contact since. so, naturally he had endeavoured to investigate. however - based upon perceiving the resonant pounding of hooves in pursuit, it became clear that the lady eowyn had other plans.

his pace became more brisk upon having thrown a glance over his shoulder, clothed in a deep green cloak atop a slightly darker tunic. though naturally, the beast was faster, and his chestnut eyes flare as the beast skids before him, which brings about a narrowing of his brows at the warning thwack of the beast's tail - heels having halted in the aforementioned mud, while peering up to regard the shield maiden of rohan as if he had been met with some sort of discourtesy.

only through deep breathes and a growing intentness to her words does his expression neutralize, if not for retaining a muted concern that finally dissipates with an exhale which relaxes his shoulders.

"trust me, my lady - nothing would delight me more than to spare myself the endeavour." there's a brief flick of his eyebrows upward, head tilting a dryly exasperated expression. he takes a breath before proceeding. "however, i fear that this forest has similarly bade my companions to rest." he reasons. "and if the danger is indeed as you've indicated, i dare not abandon them." spock shakes his head, slightly. his lips remaining parted as he breathes through his mouth, with eyes slightly narrowed in consideration. "though seeing as i appear to have little choice in the matter, i would certainly welcome your company. seeing as you are obviously far more knowledgeable regarding these woods than i."
