the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

I’m sure that someone has pointed this out already, but Spock’s “nobody’s perfect” in response to Saavik pointing out that Jim is “so human” mirrors the ending of Some Like it Hot where Osgood says “nobody’s perfect” to Jerry admitting he’s a man.

In Some Like it Hot, the “nobody’s perfect” line is basically Osgood admitting that he doesn’t care about Daphne/Jerry’s gender—he still loves and wants to marry him anyway. So, by the same logic, TWok’s “nobody’s perfect” line is Spock saying how he doesn’t care about Jim’s species: he loves him regardless.

On the subject of Spirk and Garashir commonalities, The Wire and Amok Time are equivalent in that they are The Peak Shipping Episode - because they are tonally opposite of the majority of the onscreen dynamic, and that tonal dissonance brings the ship from "those two guys" to "barely even subtext." Spirk is very much a product of its time: a brothers in arms bond that goes deeper than just simple platonic affection. Its subtext is completely accidental; neither actor was intentionally playing a romance. Yet there is something more compelling there than just brothers in arms. There is a sensuality to some of their interactions, but for the most part I read this primal devotion to each other. One half cannot exist without the other. They state this on screen multiple times. And while there is that devotion in Amok Time, it is unabashedly horny in a way that very few other Spirk moments are. They are straight up fight fucking in the sand. People saw it in 1967, people see it today. It is the type of gay sex that isn't actually gay sex but is more homosexual than gay sex because it's not gay sex. It's the complete opposite of their usual dynamic, and yet it brings a primal chemistry to the mix. It exposes that their relationship is not just simple comraderie, there's a sexual undertone there. Garashir, on the other hand, is a far more sensual, even erotic dynamic. It's acted out intentionally on the parts of both actors, especially Andy Robinson's half. Garak literally cruises Julian in the replimat for their very first meeting, and for each one of their lunch dates it always feels a bit subversive (usually because they're debating some hard hitting topics). There's a lot of innuendo going on, visually.

And while there are some erotic moments in The Wire (the cork scene in Quark's anyone?), it is, first and foremost, a story about pure unconditional love. Garak and Bashir might be two utter freaks, but they are devoted to each other in some of the most romantic ways I've ever seen on television. Garak asking for forgiveness and Julian giving it to him freely is a moment of pure, true love. Likewise, Garak submitting to Julian's care and being vulnerable to him, even telling him the truth veiled in lies, is an act of pure, true love. It takes the ship from just two men dancing around each other flirting to genuine romance.

Conscience Of The King is Insane So Here Are My Dumb Thoughts

I love "Character is jealous but also has valid suspicions" as a trope and seeing it with Spock but not be about another person but rather the way Kirk is acting is so fun.

"Your personal chemistry would prevent you from seeing that" is just Bones calling Spock gay for Kirk in science terms 

I mean Spock is right though he may or may not just be seducing her to get info on her dad

Lenore missed a line from “star light star bright”

What bad thing is going to happen to her. 

Omg is he really seducing her to know if her dad is a murderer

“People instead of women” 1966 guys

“Cleopatra to worship him” since when was Cleopatra the one doing the worshipping in her relationship with Caesar?

Bones is so trusting of these guys

Oh so Kodos was just gauntlet-less Thanos

“I don’t have emotion” *voice shaking about the idea of people getting genocided*

“He’d better” Spock *hoping* Kirk isn’t just dumb and/or in love with hot girl

Oh this dude 

UHURA ON THE HARP-

I love Uhura my girl

WAIT NICHELLE NICHOLS ACTUALLY SANG THIS??

I watch too many Indian movies lol

This was the guy that tried to take over the ship once right

Oh no he got poisoned rip

DON’T DRINK THE MILK-

Gosh their food looks unappetizing. 

MY FAVORITE STAR MENTIONED (ANTARES)

Luckily the milk didn’t spill on the controls that’d be bad

“You gotta save him” oh yeah because they need as many witnesses as possible and also death is depres-“so the captain doesn’t get murdered” oh okay makes more sense

Wait but wouldn’t they either just try to kill the guy again or go right for Kirk because the other guy already got revived

I’m confused

Among Us tv show ad (I’m on Pluto TV)

“Someone tried to poison him-“ Well yeah OBVIOUSLY

Rip the girls are fighting-

“2 + 2 = 4” Spock the math genius

“Logic is not enough” Just imagining Spock’s with a shocked Pikachu face at that moment

Spock evacuating everyone then immediately running back for Kirk instead of leaving is just awesome

Honestly even if you don’t ship them romantically you can’t deny they’re so adorbs together in general

Bro just confronting him alone

Man he’s kinda dumb sometimes ain’t he.

I feel like this is the kinda guy to say video games make kids want to murder

Is he a capitalist?

This actor acting as an actor who may or may not be acting that’s awesome

What’s with Lenore’s dress

“I was a tool wasn’t I?” I mean you’re a woman in Star Trek there’s a high probability-

“In the beginning perhaps” yeah that’s what I figured

“There is no mercy in you,” hush

She sounds like she’s trying to be deep 

Riley eavesdropping

Bones sounds like he’d violate HIPPA on a semi-regular basis

Probably better than Claire from the Orville though

Like Bones probably at least tries 

Oh Hamlet 

I know the veggie tales version.

And The Lion King

This guy just keeps stealing phasers 

Oh it’s Riley okay

He’s probably not wrong but he could be

“Freeze thy young blood” danggggggggggg

“After *my* performance,” dang girl

Oh she’s gonna do murder

Oh he regrets the murder 

Awww

She has a better dad than the character she’s playing that’s for sure

Why did she say Kirk’s last name like that

She’s gonna do murder

“It’s been over for 20 years”

This guy really thinks he did the right thing man 

Thanos over here

“Floating, drifting through space” Ohhhh because her character is Ophelia 

“Beware the Ides of March” the references man-

RIP

This is depressing

THE REFERENCES-

I love the fact that there are still theatre nerds in the 22nd century 

TITLE DROP

So is she in jail now or-?

She went mad. Very Shakespearean I think idk I don’t know enough about Shakespeare I probably should do more research.

Uhura the telephone queen.

Idt Kirk is capable of smiling like a straight person

Dang I thought that episode would be boring at the very beginning but it was fun yay Shakespeare

If you read this thank you!

WHY DO THE CREDITS HAVE THAT ONE SCENE WITH SULU

OMG IS THIS THE SPOCK DADDY ISSUES EPISODE??

[chronoxtreme]

Ngl one of my favorite commonalities between Spirk and Garashir is that you've got one of them, the alien, yearning. Oh how he yearns. Not just for his beloved, but for everything: home, acceptance, acclaim from his peers. There is a wistfulness to him, a melancholy, mourning something they never really had. And then the other is Mega Turbo Himbo 2000 (until you find out that their backstory is actually kinda Mega Fucked Up)
