Allow me to set the scene: it's 2028. Star Trek 4 (written by steve yockey) is finally out. There's a Shatner cameo as Kirk Prime. Against all odds, this is the movie where Spirk finally becomes canon. This is your dash on release week:

of course destiel is trending. steve yockey your impact.

🐶tonysopranosmallnaturals follow

ok let me see if i get this straight. In 1967 Theodore Sturgeon writes the Star Trek episode Amok Time, which introduces both the concept of Fuck or Die and of a humanoid species experiencing violent heat into the masses. Battle Angel Alita happens. Dark Angel happens. Jensen Ackles is in it. Supernatural happens. Some fan creates the omegaverse so that Jensen Ackles can experience misogyny. Supernatural keeps happening. Steve Yockey writes some notable Destiel episodes. Cas gay confesses to Dean and goes to superhell. Steve Yockey writes some other gay shit for dead boy detectives idk i havent watched that. Now in 2028 Steve Yockey has the honor to write the Star Trek that finally makes spirk canon and he somehow manages to invent a weird alien society in which there's misogyny for male vulcans also?? are we closing the portal?? is this what full circle looks like?? should we call kendall roy??

ok so i've been watching the shatner interviews he's been doing lately regarding this movie and honestly it's time we cut him some slack. he shows sincere remorse for his previous actions and has shown clear support for the spirk ending and honestly how hard can we blame him for what he said as a guy who was brought up culturally homophobic and hit the prime of his fame in the sixties?? its enough that he's changed his mind at his age. what i'm saying essentially is i think it's time we forgive william shatner.

OK WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THEY SENT SPOCK TO THE NEXUS ON THE CHINESE RELEASE BECAUSE OF THE CENSORSHIP??? OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT FROM REDDIT??

say what you want about the admittedly shitty and predictable klingon genocide plot but i think i speak for all of us when i say 'billy shatner cameos as kirk prime to set up spirk in an attempt to redeem himself to the lgbt community' was on NO ONE'S 2028 bingo card

🏎️ televisionenjoyer

no it was literally on my bingo card for years. i've made several posts about it in fact.

congratulations jim kirk on becoming star trek's last first gay character.

[argentinasexogay]

hey has anyone heard of this guy spock? i think he's from like a niche north american 60s sci fi tv show. yeah like from the cold war. anyways i think he was gay.

[jim-kirks-bubble-butt]

so this is absolutely insane and i’m taking it as full confirmation of spirk canon

[quasi-normalcy]

I don't know. This is far too reductive, of course, but I kind of think that there is a very real and notable difference between the way that violence was treated in the 1960s Star Trek, which was written in the shadow of nuclear armageddon twenty years after the bloodiest war in human history (and largely by people who had fought in that war), and in the newer series, where the writers' experience of violence comes primarily from action movies and video games.

Like, I think that there's a tendency of people in the present to imagine that people in the past were naive and...I really don't think that history bears this out. I don't think that subversion is always clever just because a trope can be subverted. I think that imagining that your enemy might be an actual moral actor with whom it's possible to reason is actually a great deal more mature than imagining your enemy as a bloodthirsty monster who will kill by nature.

[quasi-normalcy]

I'm not just talking about the Gorn, by the way; I actually suspect that SNW will probably add some nuance to them in the Season 3 premiere. It's about just the whole attitude to killing. Worf and Beverly coldly executing fallen Changelings in Picard s3 without anyone pointing out that this is a war crime; M'Benga beating information out of a Klingon in "The Broken Circle"; the increasing normalization of Section 31 across all series (and in fact I would say that even the existence of Section 31 in canon is fatal to the vision of Star Trek as being about humanity being better); that scene showing Emperor Georgiou ripping through the skulls of a half dozen of her own aristocrats in loving detail, never to be mentioned again. All of them just seem morally weightless, there because they look cool. It's the logic of an FPS, not something that's supposed to be grounded in reality, let alone trying to depict a better future.

im bored so quabubu is getting posted here too

[possumtion]

Someone’s probably done this before, but First Contact! AU where Jim is an astronaut who got stranded and Spock is the vulcan scientist who saved him.

Sketches and rambles under cut:

I was thinking something like The Martian where he got stranded on a planet during a mission, lost contact with the rest of his team and presumed dead, Spock is a vulcan scientist who was there on a research trip when he found jim's injured body and brought jim back to his ship despite vulcan's strict non-interference policy. Can be Mespirk too with bones being jim's friend and a NASA scientist who refuses to believe jim is dead and tries to get a rescue mission to search for Jim despite everyone else thinking he's just griefing/in denial.

I've been turning this thing in my head for a few weeks like a microwave, but i'm not a good writer lol, so if anyone wants to make something of it feel free, please tag me so i can see it.

thinking abt him today <3

[9151967]

Ok, hold on. Kirk was about 13 or so when Kodos implemented his eugenics on Tarsus IV. He would have been around that age when he was rescued along with the other eight survivors.

I know Carol is saying this as a general "it's not a safe environment for my son compared to a planet-bound science lab" given everything that can happen on a starship in the process of a five year mission. I know that Kirk is also thinking of this given his own experiences on the Farragut and the Enterprise, but it's the fact that Kirk phrases it as "you don't need to tell me that" because it opens the door to earlier memories and experiences that presumably led to him to go into the Academy.

But it's also because of the cut scene from Operation: Annihilate:

Kirk doesn't want Peter to enter the Academy and would rather he remain a civilian so that he doesn't ever have to make the hard decisions a captain is called to make. (One could even say there's a line shared between Kirk never checking in on Peter and Kirk being unaware of his own son's existence. Why bring such an unstable and dangerous life to someone who ought to live in peace?)

And not to give way to the Tarsus IV brainworms, because ultimately the choice Kirk must make in this episode vastly differs from the choices Kodos made on Tarsus IV, it all links together in my mind—Tarsus IV is what led Kirk to essentially choose the life he now leads and the difficult realities of his job. Even though the above was cut (yet still filmed, so it seems they were aiming for it to be part of the episode), his desire to see Peter live a quiet life comes from his experiences on Tarsus IV. Likewise, it is the same for David as well. "Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids" and while a starship saved Kirk and gave him a path forward, he would rather not see anyone else follow his own footsteps, not even his own son.

(Of course, there's something to be said about how this interaction might as well be a knife to Kirk's heart. Kodos/Karidian links his actions to the actions of a starship captain and places Kirk in the middle of it all.)

how it feels to get invested in a female star trek character knowing that she’s in star trek and no matter what star trek is going to happen to her

[jone-slugger]

"I've asked Chatgpt this", "I've asked Grok that"; well, I asked Garak and everything is true, especially the lies.
