switch the order of the empath and the world is hollow, say that the strain the vians put on mccoy's body plus how they cured him is what triggered the xenopolycythemia, say he knew something was wrong with him when he said he'd stay with the platonians in plato's stepchildren he just didn't know what.
it's a very different story than what canon is telling BUT I do just want mccoy not wanting spock to know because he knows spock will figure out that it was because of the vians.
and he does. and he tells kirk.
and actually they have a big blow-out fight when mccoy decides to stay on yonada, and especially kirk's reaction to mccoy ONCE MORE offering to stay behind to save them, like he did with the platonians.
listen mccoy half dead from the obedience device AFTER they've already gone through the empath??
listen I just want the fallout after they find the cure and mccoy actually has to deal with the both of them, tbh.

Valjean: Do you wish to die?
Javert: It would make a hell of a lot more sense than this.
Valjean: Yeah, well, you'll have to arrange it yourself. Now go.
hmm, does "you'll have to arrange it yourself" refer to dying or making sense of the situation?
our dubbing translated that line as "you'll have to think over/ponder it yourself" which I honestly like because it's also reminiscent of that one French (1958) adaptation where at the barricade they're like: "I don't understand." "When have you ever understood?" and then at the end "Why did you save my life?" You didn't get it?" "No." "I'm sorry about that."
so I can't unsee that meaning - the one where Valjean is telling him to think it over himself&making sense of it himself
but I saw someone talking about this moment in BBC where they made it seem as if Valjean was telling him "if you wanna die, you'll have to do it yourself"
anyone has any opinion about it? 🥺

kinda funny how some days everything I post/reblog gets widely ignored and then I post something people actually follow me for (which is spones and/or mccoy*) and it's like I have followers :D
*nothing else gets the same reaction

I decided to translate the Czech version of Javert's Suicide from the musical.
[translation of Stars]
---
What is this? Oh, God, who is that fool?
He could get rid of Javert and yet he rid him of the shackles.
He already had me in the palm of his hand, why didn't he use it?
The Redeemer, now to be in his debt!
He let me live/go****, the bullet cut through the air,
whether it was a trick,
whether he renounced (his) revenge,
(let) the God judge.
No! If I owe a debt to a thief
then all laws are smoke.
Either it will be night or light and day,
[right or left]* and nothing in between.
We go after each other, take it as it is,
either Valjean or Javert!
Why was it he who took actions with me**
as if he was something more than me,
as if he was washing away my sins
when he gave me my life, that long-time rival.
And at the same time he took my life,
it was his right.
I wanted to die and I'm still here,
yet only a little step away from hell.***
If the wrongdoer
should become honourable,
(if) crime should be forgiven
where would the moral order be?
Why do I have doubts today?
When I have never known them before.
Such a tough guy and now I'm reeling
and my certainties, those are gone today.
And what if I've lied to myself
and the God is with him?
That man gave me life just like that,
and with that he killed me, just with that.
I've failed, unfortunately,
you know it, stars in the darkness.
I wanted to soar too
but I did not reach you.
I'll leave this wretched/sinful**** world,
where Jean Valjean is a saint.
There is nowhere else to go,*****
stars, I'm coming (there) to you.
*in here words that are used on horses to tell them to go to left or right are used, and because it's either left or right, they're used as an idiom to mean complete opposites, people who can't agree with each other, who have opposite points of view
**this line is the same as the one Valjean sings after he meets the Bishop for the same melody
***I'm not using the capital letter here because it doesn't refer to the literal Hell but to "the place of the dead". In Czech, the plural for "hell" is used here and that indicates that it's not the literal Hell (blame the Bible for that). In my opinion, Javert himself doesn't sing that he's a step away from the literal Hell, but that he's a step away from the death anyway (while suffering because Valjean let him live). After all, at the end, he'd going up to the stars. (the plural for "hell" in Czech is used to mean the underworld as well, hence not real Hell... so maybe I should have used "a step away from the underworld" idk it might carry across the meaning a bit better) But anyway, the English "Instead I live, but live in hell" also doesn't mean the literal Hell here (imho anyway), so it's like that-ish (probably an unneeded explanation but anyway)
****there are tiny changes depending on a theatre.
*****literally:
There is no other there / stars, I'm coming there to you
