#hxhlb #hisoillu really the true platonic* ideal of a quarantine ship.#if those two are hannibal lectering each other they will leave the children alone ideally #*platonic as per Plato. i do think theres weird sex happening here. they are not friends.

Whether it be ironically or purposefully, Spock is the most romantic character in TOS

We all know this but every once in a while i just remember some romantic shit hes done and i just 😍🥰😘

#it forces me to make a list #incapable of saying a bad word about kirk in court martial #proves his extreme loyalty time and time again #his grief in amok time OBVI #his anger and hatred in platos children because they used him to threaten kirks life #exhausts all possibilities before admitting kirk is dead in tholian web #removing the painful memory of a love lost #the look followed by the empaths knowing tender gaze #star trek #star trek tos #star trek the original series #spock #jim kirk #captain kirk #captain james t. kirk #spirk

[Fanvid] Star Trek TOS - Characters Singing, Playing and Listening to Music

Sooo it took me a long time to make this, but it was worth it! :D Featuring:

- Uhura having a good time

- Spock a little less (but it gets better)

- Space hippies

- A lot more with the main cast and not!

I hope you’ll enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it! <3

If only we could be as honest in every day life as children and drunks. I wonder… how much easier would relationships be?

Dead Poets Society but make it Ms. Peregrine's Home but also make it Babel and perhaps Alice in Wonderland:

A school for the quaints and the peculiars, deep inside the forest but also near the sea. You get there with train and get off the station where none of the kids ever come back. Your parents, concerned, not sure what to do with you, send you there. It's the place where there are kids like us. They wish you a nice stay, maybe nicer than home... (be it with the kindest intention, be it not).

There are teachers... I mean of course (adult supervision!), the kind professors or the funky chefs or the kind gardener lady. But here's the catch: the only subjects they taught are humanities. They teach you how to Mozart or Monet, how to Poe or Plato. Dead languages, ancient excerpts, and maybe pentagrams and reliving myths (as long as you don't get caught).

But also here's another thing: you and your funky friend groups (who does not only recite poems or memorize lines or speak 3 languages) (but also talks to the dead, and can float, and could converse with the rabbits) have questions you ought to answer. To where does the rusty door behind the wild grape vines lead? What's behind the towering, dusty bookshelves? Shouldn't you take a closer look at the cave near the beach?

Yes. Maybe it will take you somewhere, another place like this school. A place where there are kids like us. Maybe, just maybe.

Just finished Plato’s Step-Children. Wow I do not remember it being that intense. I actually teared up when they forced Spock to sing. Especially because he’s singing to Uhura and Chapel. They both look horrified and desperately feel his pain and with their added relationships from SNW…just very intense.

When they force Spock to laugh and then cry and Kirk fights against their control, the way he sweetly says Spock and then “don’t let them break you” just so sad. And the next scene where they are both so concerned for each other. You can’t convince me they’re not in love lol.

Not to mention the overall themes of the episode. Some great, direct messages: where I come from size, shape, color doesn’t matter; don’t break your own moral code; absolute power corrupts absolutely, etc.

Also…Spock and Chapel being forced to kiss and she says “for so long I’ve wanted to be close to you and now all I want is to run away” just gut-wrenching with their past now. And she has Vulcan inspired makeup on.

Uhura speaking to how much trust she has in Kirk and how she’s never afraid when he’s around, very lovely. She reiterates this in the directors cut of the motion picture, telling the crew they have a much better chance of surviving now that Kirk is in charge. You really get the sense of love and respect Uhura has for Kirk and that he has for her and the rest of the crew. That’s why I love him so much. I love them all so much!!

On a lighter note…the costumes in this are incredible. Also if you’ve ever taken an acting class you know they make you do all kinds of wacky activities that you think you’ll never use and this episode really asks the actors to utilize those methods lol. Just in general they’re all pretty good at throwing themselves around but here they get to break out some animal moments etc.

Oh I almost forgot…Spock dancing! Very sad and intense but also amazing.

I've realized that, according to personal HC, Electra is the only one of Macavity's kittens that has no difficulty with speech. Plato is fully mute (possibly due to some apraxia of speech, perhaps due to trauma, but they're not entirely sure) and Jemima is selectively mute, but if there's one thing Electra is good at (even more serious as she is), it's chatting and speaking her mind.

#idk what this means but i'm on the cusp of a connection #or maybe i'm just repetitive #either way #Electra #Jemima #Plato #my headcanons #honestly i just think macavity doing what he did to himself affected his children down the line but *also*#they were all raised in a trauma sphere so there's that #manifests in different ways #and again this is just my personal spitballing #i also think electra is rather shy and quiet but when you get her talking #she will *talk*

JJ's a big role model out there for all the bitches with absent fathers and subsequent abandonment issues. Until he abandoned his children. L + ratio + just wear a condom

Ah, the 18c take of "we have too many children being born outside of wedlock and that's a real problem. The solution? Condoms are unnatural. Just get married"

#Bully JJ hours lets go #but yeah man was a literal orphan and was like ''yeah think I'll do the same actually''#BuT pLaTo sAiD cHiLdReN bElOnG tO ThE rEpUbLiC; nOt ThE pArEntS #JJ stfu challenge #ask #anon ask

going from being the friend who is always on his phone waiting for any messages so i can reply in two seconds to being the friend who disappears for a week and then pops up with a "hey" like she never left has been immensely freeing

#i act like a stray cat that u think is urs but i go run around outside for days on end and u start to worry bc what if im dead #im no i just got distracted by a flower and then took a nap for three days straight. im good i prommy #also /srs abt the immensely freeing comment. hashtag groomed into being an emotional caretaker moment #also something to be said about children growing up as their parents emotional caretakers to emotionally unavailable adult pipeline #sera speaks #still aplatonic btw. im picky abt who i spend time with/on and most of the time i think plato repulsed but some people bro.. they just hit #diff. they hit diff idk

And then one of the [Egyptian] priests, a very old man, said, 'Ah, Solon, Solon, you Greeks are ever children. There isn't an old man among you.' On hearing this, Solon said, 'What? What do you mean?' 'You are young,' the old priest replied, 'young in soul, every one of you. Your souls are devoid of beliefs about antiquity handed down by ancient tradition. Your souls lack any learning made hoary by time.

Plato, Timaeus 22b
