spacehated:

‘—-you takin’ his side?’   he says, accusatory. it’s been unexpectedly difficult, finding someone to sympathize with him about his woes regarding spock’s   wretched cat,   despite the half-vulcan’s irritable manner that seemed to grate on the nerves of well over half the enterprise’s human crew.   ‘you’re just biased.’   ‣   @nyotxa

SOMETIMES, SHE DOES admittedly take Spock’s side just because ( she’s got to stop doing that; she never fools anyone ), but, this time, she really means it. ❝ If your definition of biased is ‘ reasonable ’, then I certainly am biased. That kitten is ADORABLE, and everyone loves him except for you, Len. ❞  She nudges him, her expression one of amusement. ❝ Quit being such a grump. What’s your VENDETTA against cats? ❞

SEND “AH”TO PIN MY MUSE AGAINST THE WALL TO PREVENT THEM FROM LEAVING

SHE HAD TRIED TO WALK OUT of the door at a particularly bloody crime scene when, suddenly, rough hands grabbed ahold of her and pushed her up against a wall. Her body kicked into high-gear, and she was MOMENTARILY back in the mindset that had characterized her throughout all of her greatest escapes and captures. Her knee was mere inches away from kicking him where it’d hurt when she registered who it was---Curtis. She had to quit bringing his scary ass on missions like this, or else she’d wind up KILLING him ( by accident, but nonetheless ).

He was strong, she’d give him that, but that didn’t stop her from regaining her senses and shoving him back. She held him by the lapel of his shirt with one hand, and held her gun with the other. He probably didn’t need to be frightened that much, but he was making her nerves bad. ❝ Stafford, I really don’t want to hurt you. I said I’m not going anywhere, and I meant it. ❞ She loosened her grip on him, but only mildly. ❝ If you want to follow me like a lost puppy, all you have to do is ask, ‘kay? ❞

SHE HADN’T PLANNED ON punching him; believe it or not, she’d really wanted to walk out of there, conflict-free, as to avoid writing up a report ( honestly, she couldn’t care less about whether or not she hurt an ASSHOLE like him otherwise ). But he’d been getting belligerent and smart-mouthed, and her hand moved of its own accord. She was glad that Curtis hadn’t seen anything too graphic---he was lucky the guy had gone down with one hit. Shaking her hand, Nyota faced him, an INCREDULOUS look on her face. ❝ What are we? Criminals? Of course you call an ambulance. ❞ 

There was blood on her knuckles. She rolled her eyes and groaned. ❝ It’s always the soft ones. ❞

PIN MY MUSE

disillusionedhumanity:

Send “UNF” to pin my muse against the wall with DESIRE

Send “UGH” to pin my muse against the wall from FURY

Send “DONT” to pin my muse against the wall to prevent them from LEAVING

Send “AH” to pin my muse against the wall but letting a RANDOMIZER choose

❝ I mean, I figure we have two choices here - we can either pretend this unbearable sexual tension doesn’t exist, or we can address it head-on. ❞ (OMG this is so Jim I couldn't resist. Hello!)

SCANDAL SENTENCE STARTERS 

SHE’S ACCUSTOMED TO Jim coming out of the woodworks with some form of pickup line every now and again. He catches her off guard every time; this time is no different, but she finds her FOOTING quickly. Nyota rolls her eyes and laughs. ❝ You’d be the only one PRETENDING, per usual. Trust me, you couldn’t handle it. ❞

❝ I don’t need you to forgive me. I haven’t done anything wrong. ❞

SCANDAL SENTENCE STARTERS 

HE LOOKS GUILTY TO HER, but when does he not? She has no evidence of what he’s supposedly done, but she knows what that innocent expression usually means. Nyota scans the area surrounding them, searching for a sign that something is OUT OF ORDER, and she finds nothing. With a sigh of defeat, she turns back to face him. ❝ If you haven’t DONE ANYTHING WRONG, why do you have that stupid puppy dog look on your face? ❞

Phone off meme: [comm] heyyyyyyy how do you say 'bring me food' in klingon? [comm] it's for a good cause I promise [comm] are you ignoring me again? [comm] man if this is just ignoring me per usual I'd hate to see your silent treatment [comm] oh my god have you given Spock the silent treatment before? [comm] is it just the two of you staring at each other? [comm] does it even work on him? [comm] I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS ANSWER YOUR CAPTAIN DAMMIT

MY MUSE’S PHONE HAS BEEN OFF FOR THREE DAYS. WHAT SORT OF TEXT MESSAGES OR VOICE MESSAGES DOES YOUR MUSE LEAVE FOR THEM?

SHORE LEAVE WAS A RARE PLEASURE that Nyota had seldom craved before. She was always on edge, always on stand-by and ready to work, even when they were stopped briefly on a planet for RECREATIONAL purposes. Alas, with recent events, she felt that the leave they’d been granted was absolutely necessary, and she’d cut of all connections to anything save fun for three whole days.

When she finally checked her comm and heard Kirk’s messages, she was a bit peeved ( but more humored than anything ). She comm’d him back straightaway. ❝ Permission to speak freely, Captain—what the hell is wrong with you? And it’s yot Dotlh ‘It, for future reference. ❞

        “We both know he only told you          that to yank my chain.” Jim          stared at the tribble with barely          hidden dislike. “And you know that          you won’t hear a thank you for          Shitfaced too.” Yep, he just named          it. “How did you get one anyways?”

SHE HAD KNOWN, but she’d gone along with it, anyhow. It was fun to be on the delivering side of someone’s prank, for once. ❝ You’re naming him what? ❞ She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.  ❝ Don’t expect a BIRTHDAY GIFT from me again. ❞ At his inquiry, she couldn’t help the smirk that formed on her lips. She was surprised she’d gotten that past him---past anyone, really. ❝ Remember when we stopped on Denobula? We were only there for a few hours, but these little babies were all over the place. ❞

anotherdayinthefleet:

“A whole week of celebrating a birthday? That sounds exhausting. Though, I can picture you having that. You probably gave everyone who didn’t do as you wanted a stink eye. Yeah, I can definitely see it.” he’s partly teasing of course. Jim respects Uhura and is glad that he has her in his Crew. He’s sure that the Enterprise would be less fun without her. “I’ll keep that in mind and you’ll be the first to know if I’ll need a crash course.” for now though the company is good. Jim is glad that she came to him, it’s distracting him from his thoughts. 

SHE TRIES TO narrow her eyes at him, but she winds up smiling ( a more common reaction, as of late ). ❝ Well, what can I say? You GET me. ❞ She’s accepted the fact that she can come off as a diva sometimes; it’s her aesthetic. ❝ Good. We’re not going to have our little Birthday 101 right now, of course. But you’re getting up. ❞ As she spoke, she stood, taking one last sip from the glass. ❝ If you think you’re sitting in here and wallowing all night, you’ve got ANOTHER thing coming. Let’s go. ❞

❝ “Right---where did you come from again? ❞ She’s a bit defensive, but it’s expected of a STARFLEET officer ( especially if they work aboard the most updated ship in the fleet: the USS ENTERPRISE ). ❝ And what do your people have that makes buttons so old-fashioned, of all things? ❞ Frankly, she can’t imagine operating anything without at least one. Maybe she is primitive.
