as a writer you will have a specific deck of vocab words you like using a lot and when you read other peoples' work you will see a very clear spread of different vocab words on their end. this is why you need to read, to collect other writers' words like it's a card game

it's midnight and I'm practically in tears at the thought of rocky becoming sort of a patron saint of safety in the dark back on earth

Weighted plushies of Rocky being made. Parents giving them to their children, telling them "It's okay! Rocky's here to watch over you. He'll make sure to keep you safe."

In my heart of hearts, I believe two very important things:

1— Yes, TOS Kirk is better than Spock at chess, not because he's just a chaos agent or lucky or Spock is distracted and letting him win or any of the other ways of minimizing TOS's extreme clarity on this point. Kirk keeps winning, as Spock himself gradually comes to accept, because Kirk is better at chess.

Behind their mannerisms, Kirk is the cooler-headed and more relentlessly calculating of the two, and fuses not only exhaustive background information but very quick, versatile adaptation and application of information + tactics to changing circumstances, even when the change is highly unexpected. Spock doesn't adapt to breaks in routine or expectation as quickly or as smoothly, and ... lbr, he pretends he's not more of a hothead than Jim Kirk in his totality will ever be, but it's a dirty lie.

2— Speaking of which, once Spock learns poker? He's way better at it than James "any time weird powers strip away my iron grip on my weaknesses I get consumed in analysis paralysis" Kirk. Spock loses now and then through a) monumental bad luck that speaks poetically to him or b) brazen pretense so other crew members will keep the eternal Enterprise poker championship going, rather than getting so disheartened they give up altogether.

Anyone who suggests there's something un-Vulcan about Spock's embrace of poker gets the galaxy's most withering non-expression imaginable. Surak teaches the importance of absolute self-discipline very much including one's facial expressions, seeing multiple possibilities but maintaining commitment to one's decisions, and controlling one's emotions. There is nothing un-Vulcan about Spock's immaculate poker face or evolution into Enterprise card shark.

Memory Alpha disagreeing for the silliest reason imaginable is, unfortunately, extremely Memory Alpha:

“this character is too pure/kind/good to be a sadist” i think that guy jerks off to the thought of beating his partner’s ass purple 👍

[quietwingsinthesky]

i mean, if you’d like, he can get super flustered about it and try to pretend he doesn’t, or he can have a huge guilt complex about his desires seemingly being at odds with his own ideal version of himself and how much he loves his partner, but at the end of the day, he’s still got one hand over his mouth to muffle his own whining as he thinks about having them in tears and begging for him to stop. true about all characters who are pure of heart, they told me so themselves
