If Bells Hells met The Menagerie, which members would they get along with the most?

so i've been working my way through tos and got to the menagerie, and i was under the impression that it was one of the good episodes but i just really did not like it. sure i liked seeing kirk and spock and stuff but i just really have an issue with the way that women are always treated in old trek, specifically tos. mostly through the use of makeup and to a lesser extent hair styling. makeup is seen as just an innate quality of women in star trek and the lack of it is shown to be dehumanizing. basically the main part of the menagerie/the cage that really upset me was when it's revealed that the vina's "beauty" is an illusion. and that she actually looks like *gasp* this:

and basically it's framed that because she looks like this, with no makeup, some scarring, that means she can't go return to society and has to live on the illusion planet? like it essentially paints the picture that she has no value as she truly is and needs to stay on the illusion planet??? and what's worse is that after this scene, number one asks pike about if vina is coming and he says,

"No, and I agreed with her reasons."

WHAT?

it's just so incredibily messed up. and this is the second time this kind of thing has happened. in mudd's women there's the 3 women and annoyingly the entire crew is just enamored with them for some reason. BUT THEN its revealed that their beauty is actually not real. their makeup fades away and suddenly- THEY'RE UGLY!! except they just look like normal women?????? like look:

star trek just conflates makeup with beauty. this is still a beautiful woman? but in the episode they're described as "ugly". tos just refuses to acknowledge the true humanity of women and it really shows. without makeup they are painted as completely undesirable. these are just the biggest examples i've seen so far but there are plenty of little things constantly. so in summary after watching the menagerie:

It's kind of funny how in The Menagerie, Spock theoretically could have tricked anyone in Sickbay to watch Pike and have them not question anything. Yet he decided to have McCoy beamed back to the Enterprise anyway so that he could do it. Sure, he's the most qualified, but he also would have no problem calling anything out if he suspected something was wrong (yeah he had the fake Kirk recording to try to make sure he didn't but I digress). But it's still a nice little thing that shows that despite whatever he may say, Spock trusted McCoy's medical skill to take care of Pike and still do it even once he picked up on that it was all bullshit. Gosh I love them~

Soooo I found the original pitch for Star Trek: TOS from 1964, and look at the navigator's last name!

Found out that Melissa Navia confirmed that this is the namesake for Erica Ortegas, so props to the writers for digging that up!

Has anyone else tried to draw the Menagerie from tonight's upcoming one-shot yet?

This is what my brain came up with for everyone based on their initial descriptions. Some have a clearer vision than others, but I'm fairly pleased with how these turned out.

I can't wait to see what happens next!
