Sailors Mouth - Star Trek

Yay!! You opened requests, I love your writing and was wondering if you could write a Kirk x reader where the reader new on the enterprise and she enters with AC/DC playing in the background and speaks to Kirk with a full on sailor's mouth? Thanks again

AN: I kinda switched your request around a little. I thought it worked better this way

Warnings: Language obviously. POTTY MOUTH READER

Words: 533

Kirk walked down the empty hallways of the Enterprise slowly, savoring an occasional sip from the steamy mug he carried. And as much as he hated to admit it, he was savoring the silence of the ship. No engines hummed, no idle chatter, no beeps or ringing of any kind.

The Enterprise was docked for a refit and everyone but a tiny skeleton crew was off the ship, enjoying a rare visit back on Earth. They would start coming back sometime tomorrow. But for now, the ship was empty and so quiet that Jim could even hear the faint hum of the life support system.

He took another sip and rounded a corner before pausing. Something new was penetrating the silence. The repetitive dull thud of…

A bass guitar? Jim thought to himself. He began walking in the direction of the beat. It grew louder and louder until he found himself in front of one of the biolabs. He waved a hand over the sensor panel and the door slid open. Kirk almost winced as the muffled sound exploded into guitar riffs, screaming vocals, and that bass guitar.

Across the lab, he watched a figure in casual clothing bob to the beat as they unpacked a large metal crate. He grinned when he realized the figure was singing as well.

“Computer, silence music.” He commanded from the doorway. At the sound of his voice and the sudden loss of music, you whipped your head to stare at the figure in the doorway. A blonde man dressed in civilian clothes as well.

“Ex-fuckin-scuse me? I was listening to that!” You growled.

“I’m sorry. I just heard AC/DC and figured I had to meet whoever had this impeccable music taste.” He smiled. You paused and rose an eyebrow.

“You know your classical music?” You asked, setting down your box. Kirk nodded and you continued, “A darker time for the planet for sure, but damn did they do music well.”

“So who…who are you?” Kirk asked.

“Y/N Y/L/N. Recent Starfleet graduate and the best fucking botanist this side of the galaxy.” You folded your arms in dramatic, smug fashion.

“A botanist with the mouth of a space boomer?” He cocked an eyebrow. You rolled your eyes.

“Oh please. I have less than 24 hours to get it out of my system. I’ll talk however the fuck I want to. What are you going to do? Report me to the captain?” You smiled at the man. He smiled back, refraining from bursting into laughter.

“No no. I like it. It’s nice to get some candor once in a while. It’s refreshing, just unexpected.” He shook his head, grinning.

“Well Mister. If we’re serving together, I think you’ll find Im very unexpected.” You winked at him.

“I look forward to getting to know you then.” He lowered his voice, almost seductively. He was about to say something else when someone in the corridor walked by and stopped.

“Ah! Captain! There you are. You’re needed on the Bridge.” They exclaimed before continuing on their way. Your mouth dropped in horror.

“You’re…You’re Captain Kirk?” You stuttered as Jim began to leave the room.

“Damn straight.” He said with a wink.

Idea: a trigger system and a tripartite system. In transitive sentences there is one trigger for patient and agent, so: "hug-trig I-dir you-pat" OR "hug-trig I-ag you-dir" BUT intransitive sentences use only agent and patient case which are "presumed" to be the direct case and show volition. A single verb has different meanings depending on transitivity so transitively "hug-trig I-dir" is I hug BUT in "hug-trig dir-I" (I am hugged), the direct case is prefix. What are your thoughts? Possible?

Anything is possible. You just did it right there: It’s possible. Is it natural? Probably not. That only matters if you’re creating a naturalistic language. I personally don’t find it particularly interesting, because (a) trigger systems don’t exist, and (b) the conlanging community went through a trigger language phase way back when. That’s just me, though.

It really is important, though, in creating a language to distinguish between what’s natural and what’s possible, because let me tell you, one of those is a subset of the other.

Think of it this way. How many 1-20 character strings can you type on a qwerty keyboard? Some gigantic number. How many of those are licit English words? Some very large but still necessarily smaller number. So if you look at the following:

-3icnpioelwi

8838383dk

plates

89-c24493cniad

pc283

All of those fall under the category “1-20 character strings you can type on a qwerty keyboard”. Only one of them falls under the category of “English words”.

Your ask basically sounds like, “Can I type 83hf38 on a qwerty keyboard?” I mean, the answer is obviously yes. Were the ask, “Is 83hf38 a plausible English word?” the answer is obviously no. It feels like, though, you asked the first question, but meant the second—yet if the answer were no, you would’ve understood that to mean “not possible ever”.

So just to be really, really clear: In a constructed language, what is natural is different from what is possible. Everything that is natural is possible; NOT everything that’s possible is natural.

Furthermore, naturalistic conlangs are one type of conlang. They are not the best type of conlang, anymore than, say, naturalist painting is the best type of art. There is no best type of conlang. It’s just a matter of what the conlanger wants to do, and how well they do what they’re trying to do.

Also, this response here isn’t just in response to your ask. I get these types of questions a lot, where I feel like an answer of “yes” is bad and an answer of “no” is bad, and it’s because of how the question was asked, and because of the assumptions that underlie the question. I really do not want to give the impression that naturalistic conlangs are the best type of conlang. There are lots of other types of conlangs that can be made, and you can tackle a lot more interesting things if you’re not boxed in by naturalism. A naturalistic conlang is never going to push the boundaries of what humans could potentially do with language, simply because natural languages never do. They’re far, far too limited for the potential our brains possess.

Whoever you are, telling people that "time heals all wounds" stop it! It's not condusive to any situation and is a candy Coated ass way of telling someone to get over it.
