LA’AN NOONIEN-SINGH and JAMES T. KIRK: she should have died hereafter. / there would have been a time for such a word.

william shakespeare, macbeth / amanda row, star trek: strange new worlds

#so normal about this #just. the inevitably of death. the bleakness of life. how easily and quickly something can be taken from you #even when it’s not fair. even when you really love it. even when you’re ready for it #la’an having to watch jim die but save khan. sacrificing the hero for the villain #so what does that make her? #this was like. the craziest thing i have ever seen fr like i haven’t felt this many emotions so intensely for SO LONG #thank you christina chong and paul wesley i owe you my life #star trek #star trek snw #la’an noonien singh #james kirk #noonirk #jim x la’an #snw spoilers

amanda row, star trek: strange new worlds / fizz, you, me, lonely

#star trek #star trek snw #kirk x la'an #ka’an #normal i’m so normal about them #this song is so them btw. about the fears of an ending/ended relationship #i just think. la’an beginning to understand love and vulnerability from a) someone who died in her arms and b) a guy who is now unavailable+ #and about to become a father #and. she can only just anout conceptualise love in relation to him #*about #and now he’s gone #and she’s all alone and even more unsure and scared than before she met jim #it won’t ever be how she wants it to be. her chance at romance is gone. she only has her memories. she’s all alone #neither the past nor the present are kind to her #so why would the future me as well? #anyway. i haven’t stopped thinking about them and you shouldn’t either #la’an noonien singh #james kirk #noonirk #web weaving

the man who loves you in every universe leaves you in every universe :)

#star trek #star trek snw #la’an noonien singh #james kirk #i’m FINALLY back making edits again. found an editor that works on my shitty laptop #you KNOW i still have that noonirk brainrot #i have so many ideas for edits #just thinking about their doomed romance #they will find each other & love each other but can never be together <3 #WHY THE HELL WAS THERE A YOUTUBE HASHTAG. WHO PUT THAT THERE #girl help my phone is haunted #ka’an #ja’an #noonirk #kirk x la’an #jim x la’an

[ilovefredjones]

got them in my brain again

#made this meme before s2 came out and like. Yeah #i was so unprepared #i never could’ve anticipated what they did with these two like #ohhhhhhh my god #what if we continually ended with tragedy #what if our lives were constantly bound together #as theo said: la’an doesn’t remember the one universe her and jim were together (s1 ep10) #like. they are just doomed. over and over again #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #noonirk #ka’an #<- i still think noonirk is better btw. objectively ka’an is funnier but noonirk is my baby

[ilovefredjones]

i wish i had more collected and intellectual thoughts on jim and la’an. instead my brain just screams about them all the time

#ohhhh what if i was so cynical of everything. what if i was frigid and closed off and so afraid of other people #and i met someone with a passion for the universe. who loved everything and saw the beauty in it all. and just wanted to explore. #now am i talking about jim or la’an #my fave thing 2x03 does is subvert their traditional roles/characterisations #jim is suddenly that hardened survivalist who needs no one; la’an is wide eyed optimist who believes in the universe’s beauty #bc au jim is from another time!! where there is no earth for him to love!! there is so spock to keep him steady!! he’s lost his brother!! #and his planet!! and in turn his hope and awe #vs la’an from trek’s usual “”utopia“” who now has to convince jim HER timeline is worth saving #‘you could be an explorer’….. she says it with such wistfulness. wanting that role for herself in her own timeline #and YES ofc au jim is also full of whimsy and la’an is still very stiff but that hotel scene makes me crazyyyyyyy #i love how they make jim into the battle hardened soldier. and la’an has to become the beacon of hope #i think that makes her realise a lot about herself :) #i could talk about this episode alone for hours lol but i won’t bc i was meant to go to bed soon #me being like oh maybe i can get an early night :) BOOM struck down by noonirk thoughts #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #noonirk #ka’an #kirk x la'an

[ilovefredjones]

jim and la’an are suchhhhh a crazy combination bc like. they both underwent such massive trauma at a young age. la’an processed that by becoming very frigid and isolationist; jim in turn became amicable and charismatic. their trauma both drove them to join starfleet, after being saved by it, and the need to protect people after they couldn’t as kids. neither of them open up. neither of them trust easily. they’re both sharp and vigilant and aren’t afraid to get violent. they’re both so lonely. they’re both haunted by their pasts. their love is bittersweet; something they knew could never last.

#ANYWAY. let’s wait until we ACTUALLY get a jim la’an interaction before going crazy #but. MANNNNNNNN #and like their BROTHERS?????? #i mean we don’t know what sam & jim’s rship is like but we know sam gets angry and defensive when upset #and also he seems to be kindddd of distrust of jim. or at least wary - he says to like that jim HAS to get his own way #and doesn’t say that jim WOULDNT start a war with the romulans. which is actually so funny to me #pikes like ‘would your brother be a war criminal’ and sam’s like ‘i’m #not saying he WOULDNT be a war criminal’ #like jim kirk? james t kirk????? sam?????? #anyway. #very very excited for these two #if you hadn’t already guessed #star trek #star trek snw #noonirk #trek meta #<- this counts

[ilovefredjones]

and when the farragut warps in to help the enterprise and jim learns la’an is on the gorn ship…… what then

#he doesn’t even know her gorn trauma……. #AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #ka’an #noonirk #sorry i cant accept that noonirk isn’t the popularised ship name #snw spoilers

[ilovefredjones]

i used to dream of days like this

#SO????( MANY?????? PICTURES??????????? #i’m ridiculously excited #LOVE how they put la’an in a leather jacket & big chunky boots & jim in a cosy brown coat and a hoodie #these two. they are going to kill me i know it #also :) height difference :) #3 more days to go!!!!!!! #star trek #star trek snw #la’an noonien singh #james kirk #noonirk #jim x la’an #snw spoilers

[ID: a screenshot from an article that reads: What can we expect from a Noonien-Singh and Kirk interaction? According to Wesley, "Kirk and La'An are oil and... They're very different; Kirk is very cavalier and kind of charismatic and fun. La'An is quite serious, and so I think he brings out this little bit of color in her because she's quite tormented. I think she smiles for the first time in a while, which it's quite lovely to see. They bring out some qualities in one another that are complementary, I would say."

The teaser trailer hints of some attraction, at least from La'An's side. Wesley's comment about their dynamic as "oil and water" amuses Chong, with her noting, "That's a nice way to put it. 'Bittersweet, I would say, is the word. It's given and then it's taken away." / END ID]

i will never be over this

#firstly ‘she’s quite tormented’ is THE funniest line #it’s given and then it’s taken away :) #anyway i figured i might as well post my mental illness (noonirk) on the offchance someone else is as unreasonably bonkers about them as me #like i need to calm down they haven’t even met yet. they don’t even exist yet #star trek #star trek snw #noonirk

[ilovefredjones]

CHRISTINA CHONG???????

#HELLO???????? #i literally gasped when i saw this #christine being a jim x la’an warrior is so personal to me #star trek #star trek snw #ka’an #noonirk #star trek cast #ja’an is so cute

[ilovefredjones]

[ID: several shots of jim and la’an. in the first, jim is gripping her shoulder whilst la’an looks surprised. the second and third are close ups of jim and then la’an’s faces, presumably under bed covers, smiling at each other. in the forth and fifth, the two are backlit, and their silhouettes are very close together, almost kissing. / END ID]

WHAT THE FUCK WHATTHE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

#WHAT??????? HWATT????????????????????????????????????????????????? #i actually. i cant do this #i cant #i feelmanic #like. genuinely what the hell #why would they just drop this #??????? #OUT OF NOWHERE?????????? #star trek #star trek snw #la’an noonien singh #james kirk #noonirk #snw spoilers #i made this post last night but i’ve only just calmed down enough to post it

[ilovefredjones]

[ID: a screenshot of jim kirk standing in a corridor. he is lit very faintly, holding a torch, with a phaser pointed toward something off camera.]

ok but the way la’an recognised jim from a couple of metres away in a very dimly lit corridor. no i’m not ok

#LIKE??????? #SHE DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS ON THE SHIP #oh my god imagine your friend starts seeing dead people and then you run into the man who died in your arms #not thinking about that actually #so excited to see what happens in the musical ep #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #snw spoilers #ka’an #<- is that what we’re calling them now #noonirk #sorry i’m always going to be a noonirk truther

[ilovefredjones]

everyone being like ‘omg la’an/jim was actually good’ yeah i KNOW. i’ve been saying this the whole time

#vindication <3 #star trek #star trek snw #noonirk #snw spoilers

[ilovefredjones]

this is how i begin noonirk propaganda

#i’ve been obsessing over them since the trailer came out #i knew it would work #i understood them when no one else did #i KNEW. #they hated jesus because he spoke the truth #anyway. i am so so so happy and so so so heartbroken rn #such a good ep. holy shit #star trek #star trek snw #noonirk #snw spoilers

[ilovefredjones]

[ID: two pictures of la’an noonien-singh and jim kirk from star trek: strange new worlds. they are standing in a corridor on the enterprise, which is lit red.

in the first image, la’an is leaning against the corridor wall with a serious expression and looking to the left. jim stands slightly behind her, looking right, also serious.

in the second image, they stand closer together. la’an has her hands balled into fists and jim has his relaxed. again, they both look serious and look in opposite directions. / END ID]

THEYRE ALREADY MAKING ME CRAZY

#like hello their HANDS in the second one??????? #la’an’s being balled into fists and jim’s being relaxed at his side :) #what paul said about jim being more playful and charismatic vs la’an’s stoic practicality #like am i a spirk truther first and foremost? of course #do i also go bonkers over a doomed m/f ship where the lines between platonic and romantic are slightly too blurred? #and the guy is entirely to devoted to the lady? and so self sacrificial it’s tragic? YES #listen i just think these two have so much potential even if the writers do them #shit which they probably will #but what paul & christina have said about their dynamic gives me hope #‘bittersweet’ ‘it’s given and then it’s taken away’ #ohhhh yeah this is going to end me #star trek #star trek snw #james kirk #la’an noonien singh #noonirk #<- i am coining that as their ship name. if the ship flops we’re rebranding to la’ame(s)
