So I just discovered a cool conversation that spun off from one of my tag monologues on a gifset—I'd seen the initial tag peer review, but hadn't realized they'd gone further than that until @ladytharen tagged me. Yet again I didn't want to pester the original gifmaker too much, so I decided to respond separately to the part I found especially interesting.

For context, these were my original tags on the "This little thing? Just something I slipped on :)" Kirk captivity scene from "Tomorrow is Yesterday":

#captain gender strikes again! #i appreciate the read on this scene as 'captain kirk is a queer guy flirting with random 20th cent dudes holding him captive. bicon' #but personally my read is 'captain kirk is a queer guy deliberately leaning into effeminacy to fuck with hypermasc douchebros #from the very era in which the show was made irl. bicon' #it's definitely flirty but it is an aggressively feminine-coded flirtiness that's going to triply bother these kinds of guys #ngl i feel like kirk enjoys fucking with gender norms in all directions just because of who he is as a person (his true gender: diva) #but it's extra fun when it lets him troll ultra-military assholes neurotic about their own masculinity who are trying to intimidate HIM #(these guys aren't his type at all - christopher is much more that - but as usual that's not the point of the flirtation #k/s is nerd4nerd but also troll4troll)

I was really intrigued by this response from @mycroftrh, and thinking about it again on this inauguration of Pride month.

#yeah#in a certain context queerness and effeminacy are power#these are also unfortunately often the same contexts where queerness can get you hate crimed#but if you’re gonna be beat up/killed anyway…#you might as well make the homophobes maximally uncomfortable first

Yep, exactly. You can absolutely see the moment when he decides on exactly which side of his personality he's going to use for maximum effect on these gender policing, homophobic, ultra-military, paranoid bigots from the 60s:

I do think it's interesting that the full scene includes not only Kirk's bisexual chaos gremlin diva genderfuckery (enrichment for him!) but moments of fear and defiance:

He doesn't drop the flamboyance until he wants to, though. And the framing, lighting, angles etc only serve to emphasize their attempts to loom even more over him, aggressively get into his space, gesture right at his face to unsettle him, and his refusal to be intimidated by these fundamentally pathetic responses that are by no means free from real danger, just silly and contemptible nevertheless. It's not that he's too disdainful or amused at his own hijinks to understand how easily this could go very wrong. He simply has no respect for these men and enjoys leveraging their own hang-ups against them.

His eye make-up is also more than usually noticeable in the close-ups in this scene—even compared to other scenes in the same episode—which seems maybe not unrelated!

I think it's also worth pointing out that, TOS make-up aside, Kirk's navigation of gender performance in the original series is ... let's say, idiosyncratic. Most of the 23rd-century male characters are far more inflexible and singular about what gendered roles they're willing or able to inhabit. Kirk specifically is very deliberately fluid and versatile and theatrical about a lot of things, very much including gender performance and sexuality.

Como es la chica de tus sueños? Alguna vez has conocido a alguien que alcance tus expectativas?

Soy realista, valoro la calidad de una conexión, la atracción mental, física, afectiva y los valores como el respeto, la empatía, la honestidad, etc. Que alguien "alcance mis expectativas" es una trampa cognitiva. Uno elige co-crear una relación saludable. He conocido personas maravillosas que me han enseñado sobre lo que quiero y lo que no quiero en una pareja. ^^

I've been thinking about Duncan helping Aerion deliver their babies, especially the big ones

It's not largely known, but in real life, receiving clitoral stimulation and pleasure makes the delivery easier, besides standing in a squat position, being with familiar people and etc

In the scenarios where male omegas have pussies, it would literally save Aerion from so much pain and I can't stop thinking about it... bc it's sexy but also sweet, with the alpha helping his omega in a hard time <3

I'm unable to write, so that's it. I needed to share the idea, hehe

I'm fascinated. But, to make it more interesting, let's say that with the first baby, Aerion has it in Lys, where the pain consumes him and almost drives him mad, where for a moment he becomes like those omegas he's heard whispering, calling for their alphas, almost shouting, but his alpha is so far away, and he's there in bed, believing that now a dragon will finally emerge from him. Then comes the second. His relationship with Duncan is still quite complicated, but they have something only they can understand, and Duncan helps him...helps him like a good alpha, taking him in his arms and telling him it will be alright, that he'll take care of everything, that he'll help him, but also saying that he would have liked to help him with the first one...an Aerion charged with hormones, heat, and a pain that only someone in that state can feel, blurts out something like: So, you'll help me with this one and the next ones we'll have.

¿queda algo de mí en ti?

Te imaginas teniendo una familia, llevar los niños al colegio......

Sí. Que lindo, primero llevaría a mi hijo a la escuelita. Cuando mi hijo se mayor tendría a sus bebés y yo lo acompañaría a la prepa embarazada y tal vez con un bebé en brazos. Después yo llevaría a mis hijos/nietos a la escuelita mientras mi hijo/esposo se va a trabajar o a la universidad....

Sería hermoso ¿no? Llevar a mi hija/nieta de la mano, con otro bebé en mis brazos o en carreola mientras llevo al tercer bebé en mi vientre. Todos acompañando a su hermanita a su primer día de clases con su uniforme limpio y planchado, bien peinadita, toda linda mi niña. Y yo toda linda y sexy con un minivestidio de animal print de zebra. Seguramente causando disgustos de otras madres de familia...
