#he’s stranglely good at it

[nico-di-genova]

Prince Rilian of Narnia, first of his name.

Son of Caspian the Tenth and Lilliandil the Star.

Unifier of Sky and Sea, Narnia’s Continuing Hope

#I have many thoughts about rilian y’all #one being since he’s the son of a literal star how cute would it be if he had freckles that formed constellations #two being I think he would pick up caspian’s love of the sea and his mother would take him stargazing as a child #so he fell in love with the stars #but one thing lilliandil and caspian never counted on him picking up was archery #he’s stranglely good at it #and everytime caspian sees him using a bow and arrow he’s reminded of a family he still misses deeply #also Brenton thwaites just is rilian to me #prince rilian #rilian #caspian #lilliandil #narnia

Happy Pride! Jim & Spock? Can be in the Sybokverse or on their own eitherway is perfect!

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5

“I believe I have the right to face my accuser.”

Jim is going to tear this asshole apart.

There’s muttering throughout the crowd, the auditorium filled to the brim for one cadet’s academic dishonesty disciplinary hearing. These are always open to be attended by the accused’s peers, but usually no one bothers, having far better things to do on a Friday morning. Jim is flattered, honestly.

Admiral Archer nods and everyone turns as one of the instructors stands and walks stiffly to the other podium.

Jim is honestly taken aback. A Vulcan giving him shit over this? He squints, trying to place him, suddenly sure he’s seen him somewhere before. Possibly just in the halls, but the familiarity feels deeper than that. He’s met a lot of Vulcans, to be fair.

“Cadet,” he greets.

“Defend the logic of your accusation,” he says, falling into familiar vernacular and only barely keeping himself from saying it in formal Vulcan. This guy might appreciate it, but Archer won’t, and Chris had told him not to be too much of an asshole.

The Vulcan raises an eyebrow. “The purpose of the test is to assess your response to no win scenarios. Altering the parameters, while admittedly an impressive feat of programming, shows both your lack of understanding and your casual disregard for the institution of Starfleet.”

“I don’t believe in no win scenarios,” he says confidently, flashing a smile to the assembled admirals that, in different circumstances, tends to get him laid.

He stiffens. “Your belief in them does not change their existence. In an impossible situation, you must react to the circumstances given to you. Anything else is entertaining delusions.”

“Bullshit,” Jim says immediately and sees Chris pinch the bridge of his nose. Oops. This is a perfect time to go into the speech that he has prepared, about how if he was actually trying to cheat he would have been more subtle about it, about how cheating was his answer to the question presented by the test, and how that applies to how he would really react as a captain.

But then the Vulcan gives him the bitchiest look he’s seen in – well, about four days, but he’s suddenly so sure where he knows him from.

~

Spock doesn’t understand how someone with so little regard for both etiquette and moral standards has survived this long in the academy. He’s intimately familiar with the doors that having a famous father can open, but surely there must be limits.

James Kirk opens his mouth, presumably to continue his insulting and inappropriate defense of his actions, then his eyes narrow, widen, and he demands, “Spock? S'Chn T'Gai Spock? Son of Amanda Grayson and S'Chn T'Gai Sarek?”

For a moment, all he can do is stare. “Have we met?”

His syntax when first faced with him had made him think that James Kirk was familiar with Vulcan, as unlikely as that seemed, but now he’s sure. Not only because of the correct pronunciation of his family name, but in how he has addressed him. Vulcan society is matriarchal. It is correct to identify him first as his mother’s son, and also appropriate to leave off his father’s title as ambassador when identifying his family origin, as his father’s position is supposed to be secondary to his mother’s. His mother married into his father’s clan, but that doesn’t change formal conventions.

Even on Vulcan, he is rarely identified correctly.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” James Kirk says, then takes out his communicator and starts typing.

What.

“Cadet Kirk!” Admiral Archer barks. “Put that away and comport yourself as your position demands or we’ll be here for more than accusations of your cheating.”

“Apologies, Admiral,” James Kirk says, placing his hands behind his back and looking like he’s taking this seriously for the first time. “If you’ll just allow a couple minutes-”

Spock’s communicator goes off.

“Commander,” Admiral Archer says warningly.

“One moment, please,” he says, his stomach rolling as he takes out the communicator. He’s hoping that this is another of James Kirk’s tricks, because when he’s placed it on silent only his family can contact him, and his mother marks all of her correspondence as non urgent. There is no good reason for his father to contact him.

He opens it up and blinks twice, to be certain of what he’s seeing.

Sybok has sent him a text base message. His elder brother never sends him text based communication, as he believes that Spock will not respond timely or authentically, and so only video calls him. Usually at inopportune times.

stop being mean to jimmy :(

He is a genius. Several things suddenly make sense all at once.

He is of course aware of his older brother’s dear friend who he only refers to as Jimmy. In the tragedy of Tarsus IV, when all should have been lost and the corrupt governor threatened to kill half the colony and did kill a not insignificant amount of them, it was Jimmy and Sybok who worked together to create a sort of resistance and keep people alive long enough to for their jury-rigged signal to make it through.

Receiving that strange message from Sybok after years of silence had let him, and their father, know that something was wrong and alert Starfleet.

Jimmy, who had been a minor at the time, and so his identity had been kept from the public at his request, and who had visited Sybok on Vulcan but Spock had examinations at the time and had not been permitted to travel across planet to meet him.

James Kirk looks at him, a smile hovering around the corners of his lips.

James Kirk. Colloquially known as Jim. Jimmy.

Spock had designed the Kobayashi Maru with his brother’s experience at Tarsus IV in mind. He had been different after, just as prone to arguing with their father, more prone to arguing with everyone else, but he’d been sturdier too. As if that experience had at once confirmed and destroyed all of his worst expectations of people.

James Kirk does not believe in no win scenarios and he has demonstrated that more aptly than any simulation could.

“I rescind my accusation of academic dishonesty towards Cadet Kirk.”

#bit of a time skip but it's not like we didn't know they were going to be okay #jim decides that this means him and spock and bffs now #spock does not want to further insult his older brothers Very Good Friend and Fellow Rebellion Leader #but he also wants to strangle jim so #sybok never told jim that his brother was teaching at the academy that year because he thought it would funny when they ran into eachother #and he was more right than he could have ever hoped #he visits because he likes chaos and spock and jim #asks #anon #prompts are closed #star trek #prompt answers

The real tragedy about Jays death is that it didn’t need to happen. Like yeah yeah he was in too deep yeah yeah The Operator microwaving his brain and all that, but he had a million and one chances to back down. For fucks sake in Entry 80 he was standing by the door a few moments before Alex shoots him. He could have left and he probably would have lived, but he didn’t. Jay rejects every single opportunity he has to leave and it ends up killing him. Because at any point in the series he could have put the camera down and walked away. He almost did at the end of season 1. Alex was only able to find him because he kept doxing himself, if he just put the camera, stopped posting and just moved out of the state he probs would have made it out.

But he didn’t. He needed answers. He needed to know and that’s what killed him.

#also his plan in entry 80 was kinda stupid #‘hmm alex has a gun…lemme just charge right in there unarmed this is a good plan!!’ #even if he thought Alex was still tied up he should have brought a knife #bc even if he was tied up what was Jay gonna do?? #strangle him with his bare hands?? #make out with him??? #idk Jay’s dumbassery infuriates me but his death makes me sad #marble hornets #mh jay merrick #marble hornets spoilers #alex kralie

imagine being Thanos and you get completely conned by this Asgardian Prince sorcerer guy you tortured and left with a mind-addling infinity stone years ago and when you chase him down 10 years later you find out he wasn't even Asgardian or their Prince the entire time

#Thanos like ???????????? #Loki listing off titles with the clear intention that he's only just coming to accept them as his own with Thor #and Thanos is there trying to recall proof that he was a sorcerer at least because????? huh???????????????? #like Thanos doesn't care but he's been under this assumption of basic info and Loki is there like ach yea i'm blue dontcha know #Thanos is going to strangle the man either way #but like #most things about the guy went under the radar?????? #Thanos like hold on you lost me 3 infinity stones AND you swindled about who you were?!?!????? #shoddy workmanship that Other guy had isn't it??? #'good thing i fired him'

Feeling absolutely distraught over the face Rhys makes when he realizes just what he's gonna have to do to himself to cut Jack off

And Jack's face when he realizes that oh. This is actually happening. This is really it

#cant mansplain manspread manipulate yourself out of this one #one thing i will always love abt jacks writing is how you sorta get manipulated by him through the screen #despite knowing everything you know about him #and this scene + angels death segment is such good examples of that bc they really make you feel Bad #so imagine how rhysie feels when he has to literally rip jack out of his body right in front of him #while jack is pleading with him to stop #it doesnt matter that he tried to strangle him just moments ago because truly? things could have ended differently and thats what hurts most #and rhys is forced to learn that he cant “fix” jack or placate him enough to just let him go #rhack #txt #babe wake up new rhack ramble just dropped #im going insane

we give garp a lot of (rightly deserved) shit but unironically like 90% of the criticisms towards him i see not only ignore the wider worldbuilding context of one piece but also don't acknowledge how sengoku is like the worst friend ever

#like in the world of OP its fully acknowledged and present that most pirates are like Kidd (ie violent against normal citizens) #and Garp is stated to be one of the pillars preserving peace not unlike how Whitebeard also did #but even then theres like 4 moments in marineford off the top of my head where garp WAS gonna betray the Marines #and it was Sengoku holding him back snd trapping him each time #and even beyond all this one of the themes behind marineford is that they all chose their paths and have to live with the consequences #luffy and ace chose their paths knowing full well it would make garp their enemy and garp had his hands tied entirely at marineford #and even then garp let luffy pass him!! garp could have easily stopped luffy and didn't. like he did choose them in the end as well #anyways garp does absolutely deserve a sock in the jaw because he strikes me as someone who wanted to change the system from the inside #but he failed. and like for all that koby and smoker are 'good' marines theres also not nearly the same amount of criticism towards them for #yknow. working for the marines knowing full well theyre a horrible organization #in any case i want to punch garp and strangle sengoku. oh ace is too evil to leave alive but law is perfectly ok huh sengoku???? #one piece #zerav meta #garp

I think they should bring back Mac calling Dennis "Den" but only as a passive aggressive thing when Mac's angry

#iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #always sunny #macdennis #macden #dennis hearing ''den'' and KNOWING HES IN TROUBLE so he already starts to salvage things #''oh come on mac don't be like that'' #it would give dennis more of a thrill than if it was used as a normal petname and thats whats so good abt it #DEN *thru gritted teeth when you want to strangle your boyfriend* #u get it #i also love that mac is shifting again from pure bursting rage back to passive aggression like ye old times #i LOVED his sass in gets romantic. and i love it here. i love when hes passive aggressive and sassy. period

I see a lot of meta talking about how the John Verses are John telling the story of the leadup to the apocalypse with the most sympathetic biased self-justifying gloss to make it sound like nothing was his fault, and I guess that's why so many readings go for a hardline worst-faith interpretation of them, but.... I don't really see it.

When he tells about how he murdered everyone who had a gun, he could have played up the self-defense angle. He could have claimed he was scared, and he did it to protect everyone. He could have emphasized that he was killing cops, instead of emphasizing the civilians. He could have stuck with the story he told at the time, that he freaked out and made a mistake and hadn't meant to kill them all. He doesn't. He admits to mass murder, and he admits to having done it because he was angry. And he admits to still not regretting it one bit.

The story John tells just doesn't paint him in the best possible light. He does include all of the justifications he used at the time, he does explain why on earth any of this ever seemed like a good idea to anyone, and he does want to be understood, but he doesn't really try to sell it as having been right.

I really don't see the verse chapters as being John's justification. They're his confession. That's why they feel so good to condemn.

#the locked tomb #emperor john gaius #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth #he isn't even really looking for absolution #whenever Harrow/Alecto says she still loves him he HATES it #the last time he says there can be no forgiveness Harrow asks him for whom #and he doesn't answer #he knows exactly what he is #amd whether there can be forgiveness or not does remain to be seen #just feeling like shit about it does jackshit #he hasn't done a goddamn thing in his life to try to make up for or to even stop ACTIVELY CAUSING harm #amd that's where the real challenge lies #but it's exhausting to me to see him engaged with as a Symbol Of Evil rather than as a human being #he was a person and he got very very very angry for aot of very good reasons and some not so good ones #this is the big boy all grown up version of the scene where Gideon strangled Harrow to the brink of death #the part where I hurt you #and how do you come back from that? #john has decided that you can't #you can't come back you can only double down #and it just doesnt feel right to agree with him on that
