First of all, I love your works soooo much! And I love you too

Please I really want Kirk Headcanons. He’s the love of my life! I want to cuddle him and also something smut things too

thank you lovely!! I'm sorry for taking so long, i hope you enjoy!! <3

He’s really shy!! When you first met him, he was very nervous. Blushing and stumbling over his words. (You thought it was absolutely adorable of course!!!) When he first shook your hand, he felt electricity running through his body. After a while he fell right into your trap, he was hooked. Begging for more every day.

He gets flustered a lot when he’s around you. He would mess up riffs during rehearsals or stumble over his words. One time he didn’t sleep very well, because he was overthinking all night. (May or may not have been horny all night) and he’d show up tired and sexually frustrated. You’d welcome him with open arms and took a nap together, when he woke up (hard) he got nervous. Your smell and arms around him drove him crazy. You noticed him stiffening once he woke up and quickly figured out what was happening. You’d start kissing his neck and rubbing him over his jeans. “Let me take care of you, baby.”

loves to eat pussy. Like he devours it. All of the boys would be into it but he’s addicted to it. Very good at it as well. He’d pull you to the edge of the bed so he could grind himself against the mattress while eating you out.

“Fuck, you taste so good, baby.” Kirk moans against your cunt. His hips are unrhythmic and desperately grinding against the bed.

you moan and tug on his hair, keeping him in place right between your thighs.

“Hmm!” you let out a squeal as he hits just the right spot. Kirk is humping against the bed like an animal.

“gonna make me cum just like this, honey, fuck!”

I feel like he gives the best hugs ever! Loves to cuddle and hold you close to him.

80s Kirk is such a cutie, I just wanna hold him and kiss all his worries away. like, he’s such a geek with all his comics and action figures. Imagine going with him when he wants to buy new toys.

“Oh my god, babe!” Kirk whisper-yells at you and holds up a new issue of ‘Monster Magazine’.

“Is that the new one, baby?” you smile at him, finding it overly adorable how excited he always gets.

"Yeah!" He looks at the back. “I’m gonna get this.”

He smiles excitedly at you and kisses your cheek. You giggle and blush a bit, not expecting the kiss.

“Can I read it after you’re done?”

“Of course, baby!” Kirk grabs your hand. “We’ll read it together!”

Talking ab horror…. he would be into monster roleplay…. HE WOULD DONT DENY IT. Like him dressing up as dracula and you are the girl who got lost….. like!!!????? and he finds you and traps you and bites you and fucks the absolute life out of you. Thank you for listening.

Also, the fact that in all those videos where he makes a joke and no one laughs??? c'mon now… baby is just trying to have some fun :(

his stutter is so cute!!! he still gets nervous sometimes and can’t look you in the eye or form a sentence. but you don’t mind. <3

I have been thinking about this a lot lately; giving Kirk head for the first time. him all whiny and excited, not knowing what to expect.

“I’ll be gentle, okay?” You look up at him through your lashes.

“Mhm.” He has his fingers over his mouth, unable to even speak. You stroke him lazily and smile at him. He throws his head back and lets out a huge moan when you lick the tip.

“Ooh~, baby!” He whines. “ngh.. fuck!” his chest moves up and down and he tries to hold your hair back for you.

you lick him from the base up and put him in your mouth. You’d think he’s seeing stars, cause he lets out the most heavenly moans you’ve ever heard.

“feels so good, baby~”

yes, just a silly little thought.

the older he gets the rougher he gets, i feel. I mean, the fame and money definitely upped his confidence. which isn’t a bad thing AT ALL.

One of my favorite eras of him is htsd, his hair is starting to gray a little bit, and his skin has that old deep tan. the mustache, the goatee. yes just yes.

I feel like he’s such a tease!!?? imagine going out for dinner with some friends, or the rest of the band. and he’s touching you all over.

“Does my baby wanna feel good?” he slides his hand over your thigh. He’s been touching your thighs an kissing your neck all fucking night.

“Kirk, please.” you whimper. “Not here, why here?”

“Why here?” he smirks against your neck and moves up to whisper in your ear. “Don’t pretend you’re not enjoying this as much as I do, princess.”

GIMME THAT I NEED IT NOW

He’s a really sweet boy, has a kind heart and actually looks too cute to be in a metal band. His voice is so sweet, his hands are very soft. (they become more and more calloused over the years). He would trace his fingers over your skin and whisper sweet things in your ears and place soft kisses on your neck.

ALSO Kirk with eyeliner!???? just imagine you making him feel so good after a show or sum and he starts crying in pleasure and it just drips down his face!!???? His face is messy and his eyes are red with tears as he craves more and more of you.

actually need that rn

and going to the beach with him!! maybe he'll teach you how to surf or just chill with you enjoying some drinks in the shade and going for a casual swim. <3

spock with memory loss but not emotional memory loss. he can't remember anything since he left vulcan, but he looks at jim's and leonard's faces and he's like. hmm. i appear to be in love with both of these men. fascinating.

except. y'know. they are absolutely NOT together.

[hi hey have some absolute crack underneath the readmore]

mccoy being a ridiculous mother hen in sickbay and kirk running down from the bridge every hour on the hour all "UPDATE, BONES????" is not. is not helping spock's assumptions.

mccoy GRUDGINGLY allowing spock out of sickbay because lord knows there's some big thing happening and they need the beds, and spock doesn't need immediate medical attention, he just needs, y'know, a cure for the weird memory loss disease he's picked up. you heard me, this isn't amnesia, this is a weird space memory loss disease that mccoy is going to CURE, thank you very much.

he only allows spock out of sickbay if kirk keeps an eye on him. spock's like =/ when will you be joining us, doctor? and mccoy, not nearly as suspicious as he should be because he's so delighted that there's for ONCE a version of spock who actually appears to not be running away from medical, is like !!!!! once i'm sure everyone in sickbay is stable i'll come down to check on you!!!! i'll check on jim too!!! i'll run my scanner over everyone who will allow me to make sure they're okay!!!!! (jim: >=| i did not consent to this. bones: shut up idc i'm already scanning you.)

kirk takes spock back to kirk's quarters figuring they'll bunk together so he can keep an eye on him/make sure the space forgetfulness disease doesn't make him forget anything else.

spock's like. hmm. is this where we live? why don't we keep it warmer for me =/

kirk, oblivious doll that he is, is like yeah, all the quarters are like this, this is indeed where we live! isn't the enterprise the most beautiful ship there is!! also i am so sorry let's crank this place up to a sauna asap

meanwhile spock is sleepy what with the space forgetty sickness but he's like. determined to wait until their bf joins them so they can sleep in a cuddle pile. it seems polite. he's pretty sure he'd be a polite bf. amanda would definitely want him to be a polite bf. plus he feels certain that he needs to make sure the doctor gets some sleep after working non-stop in sickbay. like. that feels like that should somehow be his and jim's responsibility. that feels right.

bones shows up two hours later with his tricorder and even darker circles under his eyes than normal, and is like all right, time to check on my favorite patient <3 (he's still not used to spock not snarking back at him, and is more than a little =/ when spock just sparkles a bit instead of slamming him with an insult, tbh)

spock and jim get a clean bill of health (beyond, y'know, the space-nesia), and mccoy's like, all rightie, i'll be back in the morning to check on you!!! tell me immediately if anything changes!! i should go back to sickbay and check on things

spock: =( what.

mccoy: i need to keep an eye on everything in sickbay

kirk: no he's right you need to get some rest, bones. the on-duty staff will keep an eye on everything, but you've been going non-stop between spock and this new thing

mccoy: i'll grab a nap in my office don't worry

spock: =(((((((

mccoy: ...spock why are you holding onto my wrist. spock why are you - spock why are you dragging me over to the bed. spock - jim why are you laughing

kirk: i mean it is an effective solution

spock: i have the space forgetties and i can't even sleep with my boyfriends????? illogical.

mccoy: ......

kirk: hmm.

mccoy: ????? hmm???? HMMM???? IS THAT ALL YOU GOT????

kirk: i mean, it does sound illogical when he puts it like that

mccoy: ????? i don't know what the two of you have going on on the downlow, but i'm not dating spock. spock, i'm not dating you.

spock: no, no i definitely love you both, so it would be extremely illogical for us not to be dating, and i am, above all else, logical, so ipso facto we must be dating. it's far more likely you just don't want to say we're dating because you'd feel like it would be a shock to my blank slate brain. occam's razor.

mccoy: we're - we're definitely not dating

spock: hmmm jim i am worried that leonard may also have the space forgetty disease.

kirk: bones, just sleep here tonight, it's not a big deal

mccoy, slightly strangled, because he is extremely in love with these two men and this is a bizarre situation even for them: JIM, I -

spock, aggressively laying in the center of the bed and then trapping mccoy next to him by sheer strength and mccoy's surprise, and unfortunately, having pegged mccoy within 5 minutes of meeting him again, saying: what if the space forgetty disease makes me worse during the night and my doctor bf isn't even here to help me =/

kirk: [unhelpfully giggling]

mccoy: gdi why would you say that now you know i can't leave - this isn't you winning this is me GRACEFULLY changing my mind and we are NOT dating and if you use this forced snuggling against me when i ONCE MORE SAVE THE DAY and figure out a CURE to FIX your STUPID VULCAN MIND then i will -

kirk: [leaning over and kissing bones' forehead to shut him up and then walking around the other side of the bed and getting in next to spock] you forgot the key word, there, bones

mccoy, visibly restraining himself from frothing with rage: what.

kirk: yet, bones. we're not dating yet.

#star trek #st:tos #star trek tos #leonard mccoy #spock #james t kirk #mcspirk #this is so silly but i had fun and truly that's all that matters <333333 #fic #of a sort. but i want it in my fic tag.#writing ref

Love Languages TOS HCs: Kirk, Spock, McCoy

Prompts: How do the TOS Kirk, Spock, and McCoy show their love and what are some things they love to do with their partner.

James T. Kirk

Words of Affirmation

He loves to give pep talks, and enjoys receiving them when he needs them.

When you call him "Captain or Sir" in the gentlest tones he practically melts.

If you run your fingers through his hair and call him a "Good Boy or Good Captain.", he feels completely renewed and invigorated.

He'll call you all sorts of cute pet names; "Sunshine, Honey-Bun, Sweetie."

But he needs you when he calls you; "My Sunshine, My Star, My Ensign."

He'll lay in your lap while you stroke his hair and remind him of how great of a leader he is, and how much you love him.

"Ensign, I need you. I need my sunshine."

Physical Touch

He feels so lonely when he can't hold your hand.

While on the bridge he gives you firm pats on the back, ruffles your hair, kisses your hand, or even sneaky hugs from behind.

If you initiate the physical touch that is even better, he can practically feel the love flowing from your fingers.

During your off-hours, he will constantly be looking for cuddles and snuggles.

He even whines and groans if he has to get up or if you have to get up. He's so cute when he's pouty.

He loves to lay in your lap and have you run your fingers through his hair while you read to him.

Jim: "I feel so lost without you, take me in your arms, and promise to never let go."

Ensign (L/N): "Jim, we're working and you're standing five feet away from me."

Jim: "That's too far!"

Quality Time

He wants to spend as much time with you as possible, but he wants to make it meaningful.

The two of you read to each other, as well as play games, dance, and do a variety of other things.

He likes to have "in-quarters" dates because he feels like he can be more of himself around you.

He loves to have movie dates where you take turns picking movies and making snacks.

He will totally do your nails and braid your hair.

You two will most definitely hold the best slumber parties in Star Fleet history.

"I think this shade suits you better don't you think? After this, we can watch that new rom-com that just came out on Vulcan."

S'Chn T'Gai Spock

Acts of Service

In Vulcan Culture what you do for each other is more than what you say.

While he loves to help you and ensure you're well taken care of, when you do the same for him he knows that you care.

If you notice that he may be overwhelmed and step in to assist him you can practically hear his heart pounding.

He always appreciates it if you help him with the task and work on it together.

If you forgot to finish a report don't worry he'll help you finish.

If he is struggling on the bridge, you're there to take orders and provide additional aid!

Spock: "Thank you for your help, Ensign. I appreciate the assistance."

McCoy: "Get a room!"

Quality Time

He loves it when you spend time together, even if it's some mindless task or chore.

He does try to find more interesting ways of spending time together.

He may teach you things about his culture; how to read, write, and speak Vulcan, how to play the Vulcan Harp, and how to cook Vulcan meals.

He may ask you to show him things you enjoy; your favorite books, your favorite meals, your favorite activities, etc.

He may even propose trying new things together; such as taking a class or workshop.

Anything and everything he can do with you is always greatly appreciated by him.

"If you are interested in further study might I recommend this. I think you may enjoy it."

Physical Touch

He is so touch-starved, and all he wants to do is hold hands.

When you first hold hands it was a bit of a shock to feel your minds link.

Soon the two of you could barely keep your hands off of each other.

He's always reaching out for an ozh'esta (* finger embrace). (Just like his father. *cough**cough*)

When the two of you are alone in your quarters he enjoys sitting across from you, pressing his forehead against yours and holding your hands.

He feels so comforted by your touch. You ease his mind bringing him so much warmth and comfort.

" When I am with you, it is as if I have found another part of myself I did not know I was missing."

Leonard McCoy

Quality Time

McCoy values time with you above all else.

He prefers to spend his off hours wrapped up in a large fluffy blanket cuddled with you.

He does like to do fun things like take you dancing or going for moonlit shore walks.

But because he spends most of his time in sickbay he prefers to sit and not move as much as possible.

He feels bad that he can't do what a younger partner might.

But you always reassure him by greeting him in your pajamas and a fuzzy robe.

Ensign L/N: *wearing an old fuzzy bathrobe and slippers* "You want to stay in tonight? I found an old western movie and picked up some ice cream from the commissary."

McCoy: *trying not to cry* "That's the best idea I've heard all day. I love you so much damn it."

Acts of Service

He hates to see you get hurt but always loves it when you visit him.

When you get sick or hurt he stops everything he's doing to help you.

When he gets sick or hurt and you stop everything you're doing to help him, he's a mess.

He kind of likes it when you're bossy with him, making sure he's drinking water and eating.

You always make sure he's well looked after and you always visit him regularly.

A doctor's favorite patient may be one he doesn't see but he'd prefer if you stop by now and again.

"Stop your belly-achin' and relax. I'll check on you again soon. You're lucky I love you so much."

Words of Affirmation

He doesn't show it often but he can get insecure about your relationship.

He doesn't feel like he's up to the task like he used to be when it comes to romance.

You'll sometimes see him looking in the mirror longer or running his hands over his stomach.

But when you compliment him or tell him how much you love him all of his worries disappear.

He gets all grumpy at first until you coax out the truth.

He will let you know what is bothering him and you'll make sure to help him through it one step at a time.

"Some days I don't even know why you'd want to spend time with an old man like me. But I always appreciate that you do."

Watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Subspace Rhapsody

(spoilers for the musical episode)

I can't believe La'An and Kirk still haven't gotten that drink yet

(I mean obviously I can, La'An is so relatably awkward)

Have I mentioned how much I love Pelia? Because I do

Also her hair is gorgeous

I have dreamed of this exact scenario for all of my fandoms since I was little and it makes me so happy 😂(them all getting stuck singing)

(we all love a good dance break)

SPOCK IS SINGING

Holy shit, they're all so good at this

Oh I think this song about it being most peculiar is my absolute favorite song

THEY'RE ALL FANTASTIC SINGERS

Kirk: "Honestly I had assumed it was all something you rehearsed but then I sang too"

The crew members just looking at Una and Kirk as they sing😂

This must've been the absolute best thing to flim

Oh noooooo

La'An looks sad seeing the pair dancing 🥺

The flashback to her Kirk🥺😭

Ah yes, the classic Hollywood scene of a couple looking at each other under a white sheet with light somehow framing them perfectly

The Kirk brothers bickering 😂 the writers and actors were spot-on for siblings

OH NO

"Marie, I'm gonna call you back."

"Oh no, no you don't" the alarm in his eyes😂

Safe to say, it's not a private conversation 😂 I love that he fell to his knees and La'An immediately turned the thing off

THE WHOLE FLEET HAS IT?(the singing bug) AWESOME!

I mean, not for them

La'An looks like she's gonna be sick at the idea of working together with James🥺

Oh wow, they're floating(Una and La'An)

I kinda ship them

That's gotta hurt, Spock finding out about Christine's getting the fellowship by seeing her celebrating with others

Everyone dancing 😂

Damn, Christine saying if she has to leave Spock, she's not gonna fight it, ouch

Oh damn, La'An took a gamble telling Jim how she felt, and he just broke her heart a bit by being in another relationship

WHAT THE FUCK CAROL IS PREGNANT? POOR LA'AN

Also, I have no idea who tf Carol is

Spock is definitely in his emo/angst phase

Uhura's song is so damn heartbreaking 🥺😭

A grand finale of everyone singing? This will be fantastic 😂

Oh my god, it is fantastic

Pelia is freaking gorgeous and her singing with Spock and La'An makes me so happy

The doctor seeming to be posing while Christine spins is so funny and adorable to me😂

THIS IS SO GOOD

I have chills

THE KLINGONS?!!

I'm dead I was not expecting this one at all

Even the ships themselves are dancing

The way everyone looked at Uhura with dread when she started humming😂

I think this was probably my favorite episode of Strange New Worlds, if not my favorite Star Trek episode EVER!

20/10 would recommend watching

Metallica Headcanons ! (NSFW edition!) - Includes Lars, Kirk, James and Cliff! (Robert and others coming later.)

lars ulrich

alright, we all know lars is a cocky little short shit, so that applies to sex. lars loves to just degrade, and tease/edge you so much during sex. he'll edge you and all that until ur legs are quaking, and your begging to cum and let you feel pleasure again.

okay if he had to get asked what his favorite part about you was, he'd say ur boobs and ass definitely, but sincerely, he'd say he loves every part of you, he loves every inch of ur body, he says ur the perfect woman he'd ever seen.

lars is iffy on toys. he's probably used them once or twice, but overall he doesn't use them unless you'd want to, and he isn't really willing to get seen in a sex shop with you buying toys, because that isn't just him. he'd give you the money to buy them, he won't really just- actually go with you.

his favorite positions is leap frog, doggy style, and face off, missionary. he likes to look over and see ur face as he pounds into you relentlessly, and mound you. he likes to see you cry, and whimper while he bites into ur neck while he just fucks you.

lars is hesitant on kinks. he'll only do it if he likes it, and if its not gross and disgusting. like piss, shit, stuff like that. he likes some bdsm, yeah, pulling hair, spitting, stuff like that, just not piss, shit, anything like that. its just not him, its gross and he'll most likely not have sex with you anymore if you even ask.

he prefers actual sex, but since he's a very busy rockstar, quickies are the way to go. also public sex, he tried doing in malls, fast food places, anywhere that nobody can most likely see, but he recently tried doing it in a mcdonald's play place area. didn't work out much, but he tried. you two were kicked out.

kirk hammett

kirk is a sweet, sensual and funny loving guy during sex. sex is usually giggles and shit. like you falling off the bed, you making weird noises and him doing something stupid, its all laughs and non serious things. he doesn't degrade you much, he doesn't do anything like that unless he's angry, or upset about something and he needs to blow off.

this man thinks every inch of you is perfect, although he really loves ur ass, he still thinks ur curves, rolls, all of that is perfect, and he loves it especially. he says not to worry about what other people think of you, because they are just jealous of how perfect you are. kirk is very sweet about that.

kirk doesn't use toys as much, yes he buys them but only for you, and he doesn't use them for himself, but he uses them for you of course. if thats what your really into, then he'll buy it for you but its rare, sometimes he just gives you the cash to buy it which is somewhat often. but you don't ask for toys much so.

he likes face off, missionary, and countertop. he sometimes wants to see ur sweet, crying face as he just pounds into you at a slow speed, teasing you just slightly. but other times he yk wants ur ass, which is often. he loves booty, booty is booty. but he also likes boobs, so he reaches down and gropes ur breasts at times so theres that.

kirk is willingly open to try any kinks you'd want. if he doesn't like how it sounds he definitely won't do it, and sex will just be casual from then. he isn't like lars, and he isn't as gross, and dirty so. just tell them what the kink is and shit like that. kirk likes a little hair tugging, neck kissing, and all that.

since he is a busy rockstar, quickies is most likely to happen. but actual sex does happen! don't worry. public sex is also fine with kirk, he'll sometimes bring you to the family restrooms and just fuck you, or mound you in the alleyway where some people can see, but not fully, or on a public park bench.

james hetfield

you kno, imo i think james is a very rough, somewhat degrading son of a tall bitch. but, after sex he's a very sweet, loving guy that apologizes for being so rough, but laughs and chuckles with you afterwards and hugs, cuddles w/ you, whatever you really need. he likes to just mound you relentlessly, but afterwards he's so different.

okay, james lives for your body, and just you in general. he says every part of you is perfect. he literally can't decide, but if he really had to choose, he'd say your thighs, and lips. he explains that your lips are the perfect place to kiss, and your thighs are the best place to rest his hands. he just adores you all together, though.

james also, doesn't use toys but will use them if thats what your into. he doesn't mind going out to buy them with you. he doesn't care about lending you money for them. he just won't use them on himself, he thinks its somewhat weird, and he doesn't just like it in general.

he likes doggy style, and reverse cowgirl. he likes to reach and pull your hair, and bite and kiss ur neck leaning foward. he doesn't mind other positions though, he actually likes trying out new positions.

james, yeah, likes trying out new kinks, any weird kinks like piss and shit isn't what he's gonna do, he'll leave you instantly, he won't let that fly, sorry. although he likes trying out other ones that aren't weird, but overall he's willing.

same as kirk, and lars, basically.

cliff burton

I think personally, perhaps Cliff is a mixture of all of them. Just because sometimes he can be degrading, sweet and sensual, or in between. Aftercare, he has a smoke, and just swarms you with cuddles. he absolutely loves just holding you, he says you are warm, and nice to hold.

he absolutely adores your tits literally. although he likes every other part of you, he says ur tits are better, but he also likes ur cheeks and lip's because he likes to kiss them overall.

same as james, he's willing to go buy them for you, just not use them on himself.

he likes missionary, and counter top. or any position is fine with him, it just depends on what he wants to do.

of course, cliff will try new kinks with you, he just won't do piss and shit or any gross stuff because its disgusting? he'll just leave you automatically, he doesn't appreciate being w/ someone who likes piss as a kink.

same as the other 3!

New follower here! I love your Metallica imagines! 🥹

If you are still taking requests, can you write for how the members of Metallica would help if you were sick/injured and how they may go about cheering you up/making you feel better?

I need this in my life right now. 🤒

I most certainly can my dear! I hope you get to feeling better! Hopefully this brings a smile to your face. Thank you for the love and support as well ❤

James Hetfield

He's attentive to your every need. Brings you fuzzy blankets, fluffy pillows, hot coffee/tea

He's going to cuddle the fuck out of you. Don't try pushing him off either. He's 6'2" of pure adorable dorkiness and is determined to have you feeling better

"Who hurt you? They'll pay dearly for this"......."James, sweetie….you can't punch a cold in the face…"

Movie marathon. He doesn't care how much he dislikes a movie, if it's your absolute favorite comfort film, he's snuggling up with you and watching it

He's not going to let you do anything. You just worry about getting better.

He's gonna do his best to make you some soup. Homemade soup can kick any cold in the ass.

Probably makes a trip to the store and overstocks on everything. You send him for one thing and he comes back with $60 worth of stuff from CVS and a receipt long enough to cover a football field.

If you're too sick to bathe, he'll handle that for you. It's little small things like this he loves to do. He'll help you wash your hair, sit back and relax.

He'll put all of his plans on hold for you. He hates the idea of himself having fun when you can't. You're his first priority

It might be cheesy, but he'll lay with you and hum soft and soothing lullabies to help you relax. He's a giant teddy bear

Cliff Burton

He's going to do everything he can think of to get you better.

Blanket forts and tons of pillows. Look, he's a big kid and laughter speeds healing.

Don't be surprised when he brings you tons of stuffies after also soup shopping. It's the thought that counts, right

Would probably Google some home remedies for you. "This should work. It's an old timey family remedy."

Don't worry about the smoke alarms going off. He has everything under control. Kirk is probably shaking his head in the background mouthing 'he doesn't have it under control…'

He's a try hard. He's going to put in so much effort into the simplest of things.

"Are you comfortable? Do you need more blankets? I have more." You're already buried in blankets and just don't have the heart to tell him no. He's trying

Poking the canned soup with a spoon. "This definitely doesn't look right…." ……"You're supposed to add milk or water to it first."

He'll help you brush out your hair and shower you in kisses

Lay's next to you and runs his fingers through your hair until you fall asleep. He won't sleep until you do

Kirk Hammett

He's going to absolutely baby you. Catering to you hand and foot.

Don't be surprised if he tries to get you to come meditate with him. Sometimes natural medicine is all you need

He's an excellent cook, so of course he's gonna go all out in taking care of you.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed. He's so proud of himself and all of these extravagant dishes he's bringing to you.

Is going to snuggle you and look at you like a lost and sick puppy. Not the puppy dog eyes….yes, the puppy dog eyes.

Body massages to help ease any tension. Certain massages help in boosting the immune system

"I know you said chicken noodle, so I bought that, cream of chicken, chicken vegetable….is that too much?" He's an overachiever.

He'll let you lay on top of him on the couch and cuddle. Head scratches and back rubs and forehead kisses.

Runs you a hot bubble bath with Epsom salts. He'll sit next to you on the edge of the tub and stroke your hair

Would probably get sick too because he can't stand the idea of quarantine.

Lars Ulrich

Probably sanitizes everything to make sure you don't get sick again. Can't take no chances.

He's known to be a pretty good cook, especially with soups. You're in good hands with him.

Asks you taste test everything he's making. Pouts a little when you say no but then remembers you're sick and you don't eat him getting it too. Don't mind his pouty face, he'll recover from it

Brings you tons of things you'll need. Hand sanitizer, tissues, spare garbage can for the trash, cough drops, you name it. "So I might have gone a little overboard…."

If you're a bookworm, he'll buy tons of books and snuggle up with you to read them. It melts his heart when you fall asleep on him.

Don't be annoyed if asks you a million times a day on how you're feeling, if you need anything,

Probably brings board games as a way to help waste time and help keep your mind occupied. He only has to grow old, not grow up.

Brings you a giant stuffed animal with get well balloons. Don't judge him, he's trying. It's comical because the bear is almost as big as him.

Does small things around the house so you don't have to worry about them. He just wants you to focus on getting better

Snuggles up with you to watch your favorite TV show or comfort movie.

Jason Newsted

Goes all out in the 'I'm gonna take care of you' department. Don't get mad if he goes overboard

Brings little small care packages to help cheer you up. Little baskets with your favorite teas/coffees, sweets, probably some candles and bath products

He's very attentive to you and pays attention to even the smallest of things. Sure he's known to be the tough guy, but around you he's like a harmless puppy

Brings you lots and lots of pillows and fuzzy blankets. So many pillows. You can never be too comfy at this point

He'll surprise you with your favorite flowers to help liven up your mood. He just wants you happy and healthy

Movie baskets equipped with the first movie you watched together, snacks, some cold meds for you, a cheesy love note or two

Even if you're sick as a dog, he's still gonna give you compliments on how pretty you are. Don't tell him you aren't, he WILL argue otherwise

Does little small chores around the house. He doesn't want you doing anything that you're not supposed to

Makes you a mixed tape of some of his favorite songs and artists that he'd listen to when he's feeling down

Lots and lots of audio books to listen to together

Robert Trujillo

Surprises you with several care baskets. One for when you're sick, another of your favorite bath products, and a third for staying in together and enjoying each other's company

Leaves you handwritten love notes for when you wake up. You'll find them everywhere.

He'll help you with your hair, brushing and braiding it for you.

He's going to snuggle and cuddle the fuck out of you. He's a total snuggle bug.

Brings matching snuggy blankets to cuddle up with and watch shows and movies with you

Gentle body massages to help you relax and unwind, peppering you in little kisses all over

On a day when you're feeling a little better, he'll serenade you. He's a hopeless romantic no matter the situation

He's a big kid, so when you're up to it he's breaking out the board games with you. He'll let you win a few times too

Home cooked meals. Being Hispanic and Native, he has a lot of recipes for remedies to help get you feeling better

Lots of nice hot bubble baths. He'll stay right by your side, stroking your hair and keeping you company

quark watches star trek season 2 episode 12

wow what a conveniently expository conversation theyre having just after beaming down

no chekov dont enter the spooky building

holy shit a dead dude

yep that dude sure is dead

holy shit alive people

weirdly loud and intense music

obviously old people think theyre in their late 20s. uh oh

old guy: "elaine was so beautiful. so beautiful." kirk: :T

yes kirk we get it ur into blondes

"old friend" ok so shes his ex. how many exes does this dude have

"when my husband died" so shes single. alright

i think i realized why i find so many of the Kirk Romances boring and annoying and only some of them fun and interesting. most of them are entirely on the basis of "shes blonde and hot and likes him because hes blonde and hot," and all the interesting ones actually establish chemistry and tension and its not just showing that theyre attracted to each other, its showing WHY. and then the boring ones just assume u understand why kirk wants to bang this blonde chick of the week. i actually dont. shes boring, show me why he wants her

obviously plot relevant comet mentioned off-handedly by spock as having not been investigated

kirk having memory troubles methinks

it seems the whole crew is becoming Old

topless kirk <3 thaaaanks <3333

kirks definitely having memory troubles

kirks tummy is so good

kirk has Body Pains

mccoy has gray hairs. theyre all entering their dilf eras

mckirk sexual tension

kirk has arthritis. lmao

they tried to make kirk look like hes balding by just slicking back his hair. he looks kinda goofy

mccoy looks ancient

mccoys southern accent is coming out

whoever wrote this episode thinks aging is horrifying

off-screen lady is off-screen

ok blonde doctor lady is starting to get interesting. my favorite part of this is that kirk points out that she talks like spock. interesting of u to say abt a lady ur hot for kirk.

blonde doctor lady is into dilf kirk. aight

honestly they didnt make kirk very dilfy :/ they shouldnt have slicked his hair back like that, it looks silly

kirk calls out that blonde doctor lady is into older men

alright this is a good love interest. im cool with this

chekov is grumpy

kirks memory troubles are starting to become problematic

kirks napping <3

woah so crazy how the comet was plot relevant

kirk you gotta go take another nap or something

weird tinfoil dildo

spock says Its Too Cold

commodore guy says kirk is getting too stupid to be captain

"this isnt gonna hurt a bit" "thats what you said the last time!" "did it hurt?" "yes!"

dead lady

kirk is obviously insecure

spock were in crisis i think its fine if kirk repeats himself sometimes for a bit. give him time to fix this

mccoys napping <3

kirk is canonically 34

kirk is grounded

kirks being funny <3

kirk does make a good point that theyre wasting time they could spend fixing this problem

commodore dude immediately makes dumb decisions

kirk as a rambling old man is fun to watch

hes acting like a jilted lover with spock. i love this show

the camera is still obsessed with kirks ass

hahahaha this show thinks radiation poisoning can be treated

commodore dude forgot about the space cold war

kirk is once again in restraints

"it could cure or kill" so itll obviously work

kirk has no fear of death

camera is weirdly focused on kirks crotch

yes lets zoom on his crotch while he writhes on the bed in pain. i couldnt make this shit up if i tried

commodore dude doesnt know shit about the space cold war

kirk is Fine now. damn i almost forgot how sexy he is

kirk is so good at captaining

the romulans should know that kirk would never blow up his ship. dont they even watch star trek

mcspock banter

"well, gentlemen, all in all, an experience well remember in our old age- /stops, reaches for his back with a surprised and thoughtful expression, then adjusts so it looks like hes just holding his hand on his hip/ ...which wont be for some while, i hope" youre 34 kirk it happens

Holmes and Watson are the rare lit couple that manage to be gay in almost every era. However, I cannot for the life of me picture BBC Sherlock and Watson getting it on.

Jeremy Brett's Sherlock and his Watsons (there were two different actors but you almost don't notice because the portrayal is so similar-verrry odd) FUCKED like rabbits.

And House and Wilson abso-fucking-lutely fucked at various points. Wilson always cries - and House is very pleased with himself but always has to do down a stiff drink before he downs another stiff one because they're not straight with each other but obviously it doesn't count if they don't 100% enjoy it ...

Hamner Horror's Peter Cushing's Sherlock and his Watson are aroace life partners.

RDJr. and Jude Law's pair are purely into kink and it works for them.

Also Data and Geordi with their reoccurring Sherlock/Watson cosplay in TNG! Never sure if I ship Geordi/Data as more than besties but also pretty sure that the Garashir ship on DS9 also plays with a Sherlock/Watson or Sherlock/Moriarty thing in their holodeck. Brilliant stuff, Garashir definitely is a thing according to the actors and I believe them in most iterations as romantic.

The only Sherlock and Watson pair with LESS chemistry than the BBC Tumblr favorites imo is the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce pair-- who are just friends who get into SITUATIONS. (The Great Mouse Detective is based on that relationship so it's fairly similar in tone.) I mean, Stephen Fry has more chemistry with himself in his audio narration of all the original stories!!! than any chemistry between the BBC faves.

In my opinion BBC fan faves aren't even good friends. So I DONT SEE THE APPEAL. Maybe I'm just a hater, I dunno. It's just too toxic of a relationship for me to see a romantic or physical attraction. I just see two unlikely allies who solve puzzles together. Sort of.

I dunno. Maybe it's the Moffat effect or the actors or the fact that I prefer a more likeable Sherlock than the BBC's interpretation. Maybe if the heyday of internet fandom/shipping culture had happened during the popularity of an earlier interpretation of the stories, the shipping would have still happened. I mean the stories are homoerotic and incredibly suitable for a gay or queer platonic interpretation. So maybe another popular interpretation will launch another ship, kind of like AOS did for Kirk and Spock fanfic. One can only hope because I'd read the heck out of a traditional Sherlock Holmes fanfic about a non-BBC Sherlock interpretation, but that's buried under a metric ton of j*hnl*ck on ao3. If anyone knows of something like that, send it my way!!!

#personal opinons #dont @ me #i grew up with so many other interpretations (including one played VERY gay by noted bisexual man Jeremy Brett) on top of the stories too #so maybe im just old and cranky

your top 5 batman rogues for the send me a character and i’ll list thing

That’s be Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Man-Bat, and Bane! But since I’ve done Bane already, I’ll throw in Harley to complete the Sirens

Killer Croc

Favorite thing about them

Everything I love his theming with humanity

Least favorite thing about them

Not so great explanations on his… crocodilian-ness. Originally he had a skin-condition which kinda worded for what he was at the time, but not so much when he was 10 feet tall. Then he had “reptilian activism” which is… so bad I can’t even articulate it.

Favorite line

In Joker’s Asylum: Beauty and the Best, “… They’re the monsters… not me…. Put me back”. I can just so easily imagine with whole body shaking, voice quaking with devastation. It hurts my heart every time.

brOTP

Him and Ivy!

OTP

Definitely him and June Moone

nOTP

I don’t like him with Orca or him with Harley

Random headcanon

He’s used a stake as a toothpick before.

Unpopular opinion

Killer Croc designs with human mouths don’t look him.

Song i associate with them

This Animal I Have Become by Three’s Day Grace

Favorite picture of them

Poison Ivy

Favorite thing about them

Honestly I just like plants. Though I also love how she has an inverted struggle with humanity. While most mutated characters try to maintain their sense of being human, Poison Ivy instead wants to shed it.

Least favorite thing about them

All of her backstories where she sleeps with her college professor.

Favorite line

“They can bury me in the ground, as deep as they like. But I'll grow back.” Not crazy or anything, but I like it.

brOTP

Her and Croc, like I said. I also like her and Bruce being friends.

OTP

I’m basic, her and Harley. I also think her and Selina are pretty funny together.

nOTP

Her and Batman. Just no

Random headcanon

Poison Ivy is effectively immortal, when it comes to dying of old age. When her body should die of age, it instead regrows. Every time this happens she becomes more plant and wood like.

Unpopular opinion

Feminine fatal Poison Ivy is really boring and generic

Song i associate with them

Poison by Alice Cooper and Its the End of the World as We Know It by R.E.M.

Favorite picture of them

Scarecrow

Favorite thing about them

A character who debuted as a man who dresses as a scarecrow and was fired from his job as a college professor because he shot a gun in his classroom evolved into one of the most queer coded Batman characters.

Least favorite thing about them

He can be pretty egotistical I guess.

Favorite line

“When the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond, the legend of the Batman will be worth nothing at all...”

brOTP

Him and Harley! Psychology buddies!

OTP

That’d be him and Bane. Evil chemists loving each other and committing atrocities <3

nOTP

Not a fan of Mad Hatter and him, mainly because I don’t like Mad Hatter. And him and Riddler is too much white twink for my diet.

Random headcanon

Learned how to barley play an acoustic guitar to harmonize with his birds

Unpopular opinion

“Scarecrow is definitely Ace” this is the horniest old man I have ever seen

Song i associate with them

… This is Halloween, kinda

Favorite picture of them

Man-Bat

Favorite thing about them

Frankly I just think bats are cool animals I am an easy person to please

Least favorite thing about them

Kirk can be written as a pretty boring guy a lot of the time, unfortunately.

Favorite line

Something along the lines of “Well, I believe it should work, but I did turn myself into a bat, so-“

brOTP

I don’t think Kirk has friends. I guess you can count that magic squad team up Wonder Woman organized (no, I don’t know why he qualified).

OTP

Again, basic, but I think him and Francine can be pretty sweet together. Even if I find them divorcing funny.

nOTP

I suppose I’m not a big fan and him and Bruce.

Random headcanon

Post transformation he’ll occasionally wake up, drenched in sweat, and the taste of blood in his mouth. He vomits in the sink.

Unpopular opinion

All “Batman is a furry jokes” should go to him.

Song i associate with them

Don’t You Dare Forget the Sun, by Get Scared.

Favorite picture of them

I love Kirk covering the Batsignal

Harley Quinn

Favorite thing about them

I love this whole identity and personally Harley crafted for herself to ignore her trauma

Least favorite thing about them

Sometimes she just shows up in things she shouldn’t.

Favorite line

When she first appear in Jame Gunn’s Suicide Squad and announced she just took a shit

brOTP

Her and Bruce would be iconic

OTP

Again, Harlivy. Though most Harley ships are pretty enjoyable.

nOTP

…Joker

Random headcanon

She will brand for hair if she gets the opportunity.

Unpopular opinion

So I think her “new age” designs are fine as long as they maintain the diamond motif and aren’t too “this is just underwear”.

Song i associate with them

Blood // Water by granson. Well, Into the Knight Harley, but still.

Favorite picture of them

Thanks!

#my asks #killer croc #waylon jones #poison ivy #pamela isley #scarecrow #jonathan crane #man bat #kirk langstrom #harley quinn #harleen quinzel #long post

Can you talk about how little women's couples first times would be like? Either canon or modern verse is fine!

Oooh, spicey! As a treat, I am going to do both!

Meg x John:

Canon- There would be no proper honeymoon, going away and staying in some hotel, but they didn't mind, they had their own home to be in, and it seemed rather appropriate to spend your first night in your home. Both are rather shy and uncertain, and while the house is still not fully unpacked, their is a bed all nicely done up and pretty. Being the only ones there, they help each other to undress, John fumbling with the laces, and Meg blushes so hard her face is red, and she asks him to turn around while she slips off the undergarments and slip into the bed, and doesn't look when John does the same. The lights are so low it's almost dark, but it helps them feel more comfortable. They fumble, accidentally poke each other, but it's endearing rather than mood killing, going slow and careful, and while the first time wasn't effortlessly perfect, it was still beautiful and loving experience.

Modern AU- John definitely went all out to make it special. Call them silly old romantics, but they both agreed to have their first time on Valentine's Day, so John made up his apartment as nicely as he could, getting her favorite flowers, made dinner, candles, playing jazzy music in the background and new satin sheets. Meg never had anyone try as much as he had, and once they get to the moment, Meg suddenly gets nervous and insecure, now realizing that someone was going to see all of her, with all the curves, body rolls and love handles that she had always been insecure about. It helps that John shares that he is nervous too, not only because it's his first time too, but that he worries what she'll think once she sees his leg without the prosthetic. They help each other undress, and unlike their canon counterparts, they wouldn't allow themselves to be shy from each other, wanting to explore and admire all the wonderful things that the other hated. I am just saying, but they are very big on body worship, and the experience is just downright heavenly.

Jo and Friedrich:

Canon- I am going to cheat and plug my fanfic here, which is exactly what I imagine their first time would have been like. (x)

Modern AU- I always imagined Jo sneaking off to Friedrich in New York and eloping with no one knowing, and instead of going back to the boarding house, Friedrich and Jo go to a hotel to spend the weekend, (Friedrich told Mrs. Kirke and the boys that he had a conference that required him to be away, he hated to lie, but they did want to surprise everyone). After leaving the courthouse, they went to their room, and of course it being their luck, it was raining the entire time they walked there and are soaked. Jo laments that the one day she took an effort in looking nice is ruined, but Friedrich doesn't agree. Even though both desperately want each other, they are also very nervous on how to get started. Friedrich suggests they have their first dance, and as they do, Friedrich tells her the moment he knew he loved her, which melts Jo's heart, but then he shares when he first knew he wanted her, and he melts something else in Jo. That was enough for her to take charge and kiss him, pulling him to the bed as they work to remove the wet clothes. It isn't as awkward or nerve wrecking as they thought, instead, it just felt like they were meant to come together like this, like two magnets waiting for their other half to come. And you had better believe that they spent the entire time of their stay in that hotel and in that bed.

Amy x Laurie:

Canon- I can see Laurie going all out and making sure it is as special as he could with all that money could offer, and considering that they were in France, he was certainly going to take advantage of the whole "most romantic city in the world" angle. They get the best room in the hotel overlooking the ocean, roses all over the place, best champagne and a band playing down below. Amy is clearly touched, but she swears that she didn't need all this to make it special. Despite his time of being a playboy, Laurie has not any experience, but knows enough thanks to his college mates, so he feels like he confident enough to not bungle this up, but some of that confidence goes away and he is a bit awkward and nervous, but Amy likes it, it's more like the boy she fell in love with. It is the most ideal romantic wedding night anyone could imagine, and it was just as special and wonderful.

Modern AU- I am just gonna say it, by the time Amy and Teddy do it, neither of them are virgins. But that don't mean that it still wasn't special when they finally get to it. It happened sometime after coming home from Europe and in his apartment, it wasn't planned, it was just one of things were they were making out, and there was just that feeling, this is it, the time is now. And when they did, it is electric, the most fulfilling experience either of them had. The best way I can express it is to compare it to Bridgerton, where Anthony has these empty affairs, and while he gets physical pleasure from it, it doesn't feel really satisfying until he is with Kate, because this is the woman he loves beyond all others. Also, Amy totally was on top, just saying.

Romantic TOS HCs: Kirk, Spock, McCoy

A/N: After a horrible blog explosion I've had to rewrite some of my headcanons. I hope you all enjoy it.

Prompt: Romantic TOS Kirk, Spock, McCoy w/ GN! Reader

James T. Kirk

Kirk is most definitely a hopeless romantic.

He is also the KING OF SAPPY ROMANCES.

Kirk most definitely reads those cheesy romance novels your grandma has on her nightstand.

He tries to keep things professional on the bridge, it doesn't last.

He'll give you longing looks, and endless compliments, the man is a total flirt with you on the bridge. (That and info-dumping.)

He'll give exaggerated sighs and swoon anytime you do even the bare minimum.

"Thank you, Ensign (L/N). What would we do without you?"

He'll write you little love notes and have the other Ensigns deliver them to you.

He is constantly blowing you kisses.

He even gives you the most ridiculous pet names;

"Sunshine, My Star, Sweetie"

It would be embarrassing if it wasn't so cute.

You're barely in the turbolift when he's covering you in kisses.

He's always sharing books to read with you (maybe the less goofy ones).

It's like having your own book club.

He loves head scratches and when you hold him in your arms.

He is a huge cuddler and enjoys snuggles.

He prefers to be the big spoon or to lay on your chest.

Kirk gets the cutest happy golden retriever look on his face if you give him head scratches and read to him.

S'chn T'gai Spock

When Spock falls in love, he falls hard!

He thought he should have been incapable of the feeling.

But to Vulcans' it's not just about the feeling of love, it's the subtlety of action.

He keeps things professional on the bridge. However, that doesn't stop him from consulting you any chance he gets.

He shows his love in discrete ways; long loving looks, sharing in debates and games of strategy, in addition to the ozh'esta. *Finger Embrace

He will complement you, just not in the way Kirk or McCoy would.

"I completely trust Ensign (L/N)'s judgment, they have profoundly sound logic for a human."

During slower times on the bridge, he'll write lines of poetry about you.

Though he never likes to share it.

Pet names are sadly rare but when you are alone he calls you almost anything but your name.

"Ashal-veh, t'nash-veh, t'hy'la"

He doesn't protest you using pet names for him while working together.

He likes to hold your hand by wrapping his pinky around yours.

He'll teach you how to play the Vulcan Harp if you're interested.

Totally not so he can have you sit in his lap and caress your hands.

He loves it when you caress his face and run your fingers through his hair.

If you just hold his face in your hands and look into his eyes he'll turn bright green.

He enjoys cuddling and having you sleeping next to him.

He'll usually prefer the honeymoon position or have you lay on his chest.

Leonard McCoy

He's a doctor and a glucose guardian.

He never thought he'd fall in love again, but here he is.

He's very old school when it comes to his style of dating.

He keeps things professional on the surface but you can tell he favors you more.

It doesn't matter what is going on, he'll always make time for you.

He isn't the best when it comes to frequent compliments but you know they're sincere.

"Ensign, you make me feel young again."

He scolds Kirk if he puts you on dangerous way missions.

He likes to keep you close by, like Spock, he's always calling you up for something.

His pet names for you are the sweetest.

"Honey, Sweetie, Darling."

He loves it when you call him things like "Doc, Hot Shot, Good Lookin'."

He likes to spend all of his off hours with you. He practically follows you around like a puppy.

Sometimes when you two are apart he likes to give you personal com messages, like back in the 20th century.

He loves to take you dancing even if he can't move as fast as he used to.

"In-quarters" dates are his favorite because he can just sit still with you in his lap.

He adores cuddling up in a big blanket and watching old movies with you.

During this time he's more openly affectionate, he likes to run his fingers through your hair and cover your face in kisses.

He prefers to have you sit in his lap, but he won't argue if you want him to sit in yours.

The rise of anti intellectualism is so fucking PALPABLE these days and excuse my misandry but men are the prime carriers of this disease.

A quick rant on the subject:

I remember when we were interpreting Kafka's metamorphosis in my higher level lit class back in 2021, the teacher decided to start off our work with an open discussion. People raised their hands and shared their interpretations of the work. The teacher was providing some subtle guidance as to what common tracks were usually taken for interpreting metamorphosis (absurdism, symbolism, autobiographical, metaphorical, stuff like that). Without fail, men of the class would opt in for the absurdist option. Not to invalidate that view of the text, it's undeniable that the work has absurdist themes, but it is also quite convenient to say, "It has no meaning!" and call it a day (which i might add, is not really a good interpretation for even the most absurd of absurdist texts). The men of the class wrote less on their essays, were more likely to call a text "stupid" or "boring" or just insult the author in some way. Simply put, they are more likely to look for a reason not to analyze the text, to not look into it, and to search for meaning in it. It's easier to shrug and say, "It's stupid and not worth my time" than it is to give a genuine and careful look at a piece of art and extrapolate is meaning.

My father, whenever I share with him my thoughts on art, movies, books, and shows, he often rolls his eyes at me or tells me to save it. "You're a little philosopher, but I don’t think it's supposed to mean anything. I don't think the authors intended for it to mean anything." Yes, maybe they didn't, maybe they did and maybe their meaning is different than mine. How is any of that a good reason not to interpret the work? Interpretation embedds meaning and allows you to see the depth of a piece of art, without it, your experience is shallow, and almost inhumanly mindless. Just like with the boys in the literature class, this is all just an excuse not to think. A choice to opt out of nuance, out of complexity, and exist only in the simplicity of literal representation. No subtext, no symbolism, no metaphors, no hidden emotion. It's sad, it's dull, it's empty, and its even facist!

Ah, another non-trek rambling essay on my page NO actually this ties into trek perfectly. Star Trek, the original series is FULL of subtext and of philosophical messaging. The relationship of Kirk and Spock (as you should fucking know by now) can very easily be argued as a deep love relationship, the kind that makes the trek bros scream and cry due to their phobia of homo's. I know this is gonna sound scary but go to reddit dot com and see what the old trek bros have say about the blatant gay subtext of amok time, or the parallels and subtext of the motion picture. 💀💀💀by the nine these bitches have never passed 8th grade lit and it shows. They hate TMP because they're moosh brained and take it far too literally and have no idea whats actually going on in the story, and they dont see amok time as gay because its not like they made out and had gay sex or anything. This is just idiotic. Rejecting or out-right ridiculing any interpretation beyond the literal one is definitely anti intellectualism.

TNG falls back on the gay subtext but still tries to be more meat than sauce when it comes to food for the mind. Plenty of episodes delve into difficult moral dilemmas that I end up chewing on for days and months at a time. Mind you, this is exactly why people find star trek boring. Too much thinking, not enough pew pew. My evidence for this is only anecdotal, from whenever I asked people for their thoughts on the series. How it usually goes is; "I'm more of a starwars fan, it's just more interesting." Really? How so? "I don't really know it's just better." They typically don't even analyze what they like about their favorite properties. EMBARRASSING!! Although this evidence is anecdotal, I'm sure you could find many substantial support to this theory via angry threads on old forums.

This entire subject enrages me completely, and im sure the more discerning trektism reader took notice to my unraveling over the course of this rant. I will not extend it any longer, its already been too long. Facism is a disease, kill it with fire, peace and love peace and love.

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW

Didnt get a chance to watch Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow until tonight for various reasons, so pardon my late review!

Anyway, for the 2nd week in a row we get that most classic of Trekisms - a really flimsy metaphor for something presented in a way that's kind of insulting if you think about for more than a minute, but this time, also wrapped in some absolutely top tier character torture porn (complimentary)!

Like, the metaphors get a bit tiring and insulting, but... it's nice to have a Star Trek that's doing them again in a way we havent seen since DS9 and Voyager.

Anyway, Viewing Notes:

Who kept my sweet sweet spock from playing the music of his soul? WHO ARE THEY I JUST WANT TO TALK

(also damn starfleet couldnt spring for the noise dampening walls?)

Poor M'Benga. You tried ;_;

"You don't have to bear this alone" OH DOESN'T SHE?????????????

Kinda funny (as in sad funny) M'Benga said that too, since I think he STILL hasn't been able to reveal that he was smuggling Rukiya for years, even if Una eventually found out and agreed to keep his secret.

NGL, Exasperated Kirk in the Alleyway kinda had me laughing a bit. To say nothing of the clothing scene. And the Chess Scene. And the Hot Dog scene. As much as I didnt want to like La'an/Kirk, this is a pretty classic screwball romance setup and I am a SUCKER for those. So. Fine. You got me. I kinda sorta ship it.

Oooo, so THAT'S why this Kirk says he's from Space. Oof. There's a kicker.

I gotta say, New Kirk is making a believer out of me. He's not Shatner at all, which I think he doesn't need to be, but even in this "Earth is kinda Xenophobic" AU, he has that kind of quiet confidence and latent nerdiness of classic TOS Kirk. He's got the sassiness (That little one of us has got to change look he gave to Laan and the Heck yeah I'll just hustle people at chess for money thing) combined with the chivalry (Immediately changing so La'an can have her preferred outfit, charming the people he vanquished at chess with a handshake and a smile) that really works for me.

"Get to the Bridge" oh my gosh SNEAKY AS THE DICKENS.

Pelia remains an absolute delight in every appearance. I kinda love how she just... wasnt a great engineer though? Why would she be? She's immortal, but she's also just a person trying to survive, and she has hundreds of years to live! We need more Immortals who are just this guy (gender neutral), to be honest. Why would she have kept up on engineering stuff for a few hundred years? That would probably get boring! Hell, maybe that's why Scotty replaces her, she gets bored of engineering and decides to try something else! It makes perfect since she didnt learn it yet!

Aaaaand now we get the part I'm not sure I like: What if you went back in time to Defend Baby Hitler from the people who came back in time to kill him, because if you didnt, the future would be worse? Also it's implied Baby Hitler is being, if not actively tortured, at least definitely imprisoned against his will and separated from his friends and family.

I mean... Listen, I get Khan is fictional, as are the eugenics wars, but the metaphor is... I dunno man, the comparison is there and it's kind of iffy, and I while I understand how it kind of adds more dimensions to La'an's struggle with her ancestry, the whole "Millions of people have to suffer and die because thats the way the timeline has to be" sticks in my craw. It'd be like if Past Tense made the twist that the DS9 crew had to kill Gabriel Bell instead of impersonating him at the right moments. I just don't think this was the right story to tell.

I think I can kinda deal with it because you know, this is Star Trek. But gosh, this will not replace Past Tense as my favorite Star Trek time travel story any time soon, no matter how charming Alternate Kirk was.

Sera's rant about the timeline is interesting. One one hand, the clever little "Timeline reasserting itself" to explain plot holes like that Time Voyager travelled back to the 90s and there was no sign of Eugenics Wars was kinda fun, but on the other hand, it smacks of the same kind of overexplaining I disliked with having M'Benga introduce Spock to the harp. Sometimes its enough that Spock plays the Harp! Sometimes its enough that when a single universe lasts for half a century and is written by hundreds of people over multiple series and mediums, little continuity errors slip in!

(nitpick time: You're telling me she cant at least talk to Pelia about this? If they "fixed" things and this is her timeline Pelia should remember her, right? Hell, they outright implied La'an's visit was the reason she became an engineer in the first place! Maybe she mentioned the bunker in Vermont specifically so La'an would know to go meet her there whenever the time travel happened, and threw in the "That painting is a Fake" because she remembered talking about it with La'an! TALK TO PELIA, LA'AN!). I suppose the idea might be that Pelia doesn't know exactly why La'an was in the past and cant be allowed to know more, but. Ugh.

Cuz like, listen, I know the dramatic weight requires La'an not to talk to anyone, but like. The Temporal police dont employ any counselors? If they're saving Mass Murderers from assassination on the reg, La'an can't be the first temporal agent to have mental health issues over that, even as a temporary recruit pressganged into service to save her own ancestor. And it's not like Pike could change anything if she told him, that stuff happened IN THE PAST!

BASICALLY LA'AN IS SUFFERING AND SHE DESERVES SOME COMFORT COME ON I EXPECT BETTER FROM STARFLEET EVEN THE DUMBASS SECRETIVE TIME POLICE DIVISION

Like gosh, that lady was ice cold i think even if Alt!Kirk had survived and hopped a ride over on that little device she would have killed him just to preserve the timeline or some shit.

I dunno. Time travel stuff. Ugh.

Anyway, OK Episode, I loved alternate Kirk, loved La'an and Kirk's shenanigans in modern Toronto/Vermont before things got real, kinda shipped La'an/Kirk in spite of myself, and the temporal intrigue was... intriguing, but "Let's Save Baby Hitler" left a sour taste in my mouth. On to the next Ep!

Why don't you like AUs? Personally, I'm not a fan of AUs because they tend to suffer from Any Two Guys Syndrome (definition: term used to refer to a story where the characterization is so weak and the story so generic that if you changed the names and a few minor details the main characters could be mistaken for any two men pulled off the street) way more than regular fic. Would I read a story about my blorbo in a coffee shop? Sure, but it's never that. Even the older men become generic twinks💀

That’s definitely part of it! But even if it was extremely in character, I feel like… it still wouldn’t really BE in character?

I REALLY limit the fandoms/ships I read fic for (I just read fic for Sasuke and Naruto, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, Spock and Kirk. Rarely I’ll dip my toes in other ships but like… mostly this is it) and all of those fandoms… the world building is REALLY essential for forming the characters as they are.

For these characters, there’s no like real or alt-world explanations that would really make them function the same without then having really, really awkward (or sometimes problematic) implications. Like I don’t think Spock works as a non-alien hybrid. I’m sure there are ways to explore the feelings of otherness he might feel or his mannerisms or whatever but they just… don’t work the same way?

Or like… you can get Sasukes personality right in a modern AU but I’m gonna feel real fucking world if you try to incorporate real world genocide into your anime fanfic but like… who is Sasuke if he’s not a genocide survivor?

And you cna make it about family annihilation but then that removes the broader context and it just… doesn’t work.

A lot of my favorite characters and character dynamics (ship or not) are heavily reliant on the worlds around them. Sasuke and Naruto don’t work if they didn’t literally sacrifice their lives for each other as child soldiers. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian being soulmates doesn’t hit half as hard if they didn’t have to overcome the cultivation world’s prejudice and corruption to come together after thirteen years and death itself.

I will say, I hold the most wariness towards Modern AUs and have found some more sci fi based AUs for the untamed in particular that worked. But like… then a lot of the time it just feels like changing window dressing for the same story. Which is fiiiine but it’s not what i go to fic for. I go to fic to pick at the seams of canon—to ponder what if, the maybe think about how certain characters felt about certain events if they weren’t POV characters for that in canon, to explore aches and hopes that were under-explored, etc etc.

“What if the same things happened… in space?” is less likely to do that.

And a lot more of the broader AUs—modern au, royalty au, coffee shop—are more about exploring the “any two guys doing a thing you like” rather than canon AT ALL.

I read fic only for things I really enjoy the canon of (though often have major criticisms of), so if you’re not giving me ANY canon… you’re not giving me fanfiction, you’re giving me a random like… dime novel. A shitty romance novel, not even rising up to the potential of the romance novels that work to get published.

NE vs MIN

The Pats are allowing only 62 rushing yards over their last 3 games along with 141 passing yards. Vikings total points under 22.5.

Unders are 6-4 in New England games this year. Under 42.5. The Vikings are less than a field goal favorite at home. That tells Vegas does not believe in this team. New England 6-3-1 against the spread. I like the Pats +2.5. Last week the line was telling us the same as they were 1.5 point underdogs at home to Dallas and Vegas was right. The Dallas pass rush dominated all day and Cousins was under constant pressure. Belichick will no doubt look to do the same. Dallas is #2 in defensive DVOA. Who’s #1? That’d be the Patriots. As well as #1 in pass defense. I expect Kevin O’Connell to lean heavily on Dalvin Cook early try to establish the run and keep the pass rush from teeing off on Kirk. Bill will most likely double Jefferson- which is why I also like Justin Jefferson U 87.5 receiving yards. The Minnesota run defense is allowing 154 rushing yards per game over their last 3. I love Rhamondre Stevenson over 58.5 rushing yards.

BUF vs DET

The Detroit defense allowed only 57 points during its 3 game win streak. On a short week in the cold I’ll take under 54.5 total points.

Detroit has given up the 5th most passing yards per game on the season, however Buffalo is only averaging 226 in its last 3. I like Josh Allen under 286.5. As well as Josh Allen under 2.5 pass tds. He’s only thrown for 2 scores in his last 3 contests. The Bills are definitely turning more toward the run game since his injury. I expect the Bills to get up early and lean on Singletary whose rushing attempts have been trending up lately with 18 against the Browns as they salted that game away. Singletary over 13.5 rushing attempts. I think Buffalo rolls here I just don’t see Detroit slowing them down. Buffalo -9.5.

NYG vs DAL

Dallas is 1-10 against the spread on Thanksgiving over the past 11 years. 10 is too many points against a feisty divisional opponent. NYG +10.

New York can not allow Saquon to be a non-factor in this game as he was against Detroit last week when he was held to 35 yards on 17 touches. Look for Brian Daboll to get creative and find ways to get Barkley involved early and often with space to work with. He can not have 2 catches if they expect to win. Barkley over 3.5 receptions for over 22.5 receiving yards. Wan’dale Robinson is out for the year and rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger will miss this game leaving Darius Slayton as the only other reliable pass catcher. The game plan needs to be run the ball and quick throws to get the ball out of Daniel Jones’ hands. Jones will need to use his legs to escape pressure and also keep the defense guessing. Jones over 38.5 rushing yards. The Giants must slow down the Cowboys rushing attack which could mean extra men in the box against the formidable duo of Zeke and Pollard. Expect Dak to look for CeeDee Lamb early and often with Adoree’ Jackson out. Lamb over 5.5 receptions.
