Star Trek AOS - Kirk and Spock (/Spirk) textposts!

[McKirk Edition] [Spirk (TOS) Moodboard] [My ST:AOS fic!]

[trek-tracks]

Jim, texting Bones: Spock is stressed and driving all of us crazy please come to the bridge and say something deliberately stupid

Bones: on my way

five minutes later

Bones, striding on to the bridge: wow that nebula sure looks like cotton candy! Yessiree I bet it’d taste delicious

Spock, instantly turning around like he’s controlled by springs: Doctor, as you well know—

Entire bridge: sighs in relief

[vulcansbiology]

thinking about how spirk truly is the epitome of “they would find each other in every universe” because in the first AOS film AOS!Kirk found TOS!Spock and Spock’s first question to him wasn’t a “who are you?” or “what are you doing here?” but rather a “how did you find me?”

Happy AOS-iversary! (May 8, 2009)

we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

[emeraldspiral]

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

“In the book eating is done in private” yeah I KNOW. The book is different from the movie in LOTS of ways. they made creative choices that changed the context of certain things and the tone in many ways. That doesn’t make it bad, just different. I loooove the book. It’s one of my favorite reads of all time. The differences between the book and the film were done for a reason, though, and I don’t think that the changes they made necessarily were a detriment to the overall story.

Besides, the context of this scene WITH the book lore becomes 100000x funnier if you think about it like this: Rocky thinks eating is a private affair because it’s a disgusting, biological process (kind of like how humans go to the bathroom in private mostly) and when Grace eats in front of him, he decides “hey, I’m going to fuck with this guy since he ate in front of me first”

Anyway guys. I know it’s different in the book 😭 I promise it’s okay

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest as I should; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him feeling safe. He said my “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard young ones singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got water temperature better. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.
