Is confessing his love to Leonard all shatner does dear god 😭

The memory that he said this in an interview always sneaks up on me when least expected. I’m just drinking my coffee and boom. There it is.

Look it's no secret I really don't like SNW but like... I'm allowed to hate it. I'm allowed to complain about it and point out how stupid and disrespectful the showrunners choices are.

At the same time, you are allowed to love it and talk about how great you think it is. Me commenting about why it's bad isn't me saying "you can't have a different opinion". You can. You can absolutely gush over SNW if you want.

Like, I think you're dead wrong and don't care about the implications of a major studio trying to erase the source material and replace it with their own sterilized, aggressively hetero version, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Sure, snw fans have a right to enjoy the show. But they shouldn't whine so much for the criticism the show rightfully deserves. It seems to me they try to shut up any criticism with blank statements like "it's just a show, just enjoy it".

Snw has placed itself in a position that invites to roast it. It's not original fiction (like TNG or DS9), but a kind of "fanfiction" which uses other people's characters to capitalize on their established popularity. But then they write the characters ooc, and yet refuse to admit it's an AU. Just how much you like fanfics that are totally ooc and not an AU at the same time? I at least don't like them at all, and consider them a product of bad writing and faulty knowledge of the source material. And this is just what snw writers are doing wrong. So they deserve all the criticism and more (at least, fanfic writers are doing it for free, and they don't damage the original).

It's much worse than bad fanfic (which is fine and good to do, please always write fanfic to make yourself happy, don't worry about quality) because it's an official property.

The showrunners are using their status as "official" to attempt a soft reboot of *arguably the most important sci-fi TV show ever made* only to turn around and insist they're a faithful prequel, no matter how much they directly conflict with the original show.

How are we supposed to not be angry about that?

As well as those credited, I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the fans I've met on my travels and online, whose enthusiastic response to my "real life" Kirk encouraged the production of this small flavor of possibility...

I hope you enjoy it!

I was walking to the gym one day and saw a bear with some trash on the street. He was on a small sun-faded plastic child's chair.

On the way back, the bear was gone, but I noticed a trail of white fluff down the street. As I walked, I realised it was the bear's innards, and I found the bear's skin torn up in an abandoned trolley.

The rest is as follows:

2. Reassembly and pet brush to de-matt

3. Eyes polished. (they were all scratched up)

4. Eyebrows

5. Nose (science blue)

6. Boots

7. Pants

8. Tunic (with a hand-embroidered emblem and some spare braid)

9. Spock

10. Spirk

BONUS: I also found this guy recently. Another project!

Now who on earth could that remind me of

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway happy valentines day!

Day Ten: Mindmeld

Sometimes Jim forgot Spock was an alien. 

“Meld with me.” Spock’s voice was husky. They’d been kissing, hands slid up uniform tunics. 

“You’re sure?” Jim swallowed. Spock gave a barely-there smile.   “Yes, please Jim…” Jim’s heart skipped a beat. In the red lighting Spock appeared utterly alien; the curve of his ears and flared eyebrows were not human. Fear shot up his spine as Spock’s fingers made contact - he felt something in his mind…yet the presence was not unwelcome. As he relaxed the presence shifted - it felt like desire - Jim kissed his first officer, the sensation reverberating through the meld.

Kirk And Spock “Star Trek”

“What’s the relationship between these two characters?”

How normal people would answer: Oh they’re best friends.

How some writers/actors answer: it’s…a love story, really. It’s like a romance. They’d marry each other in a heartbeat. They want to grow old together and move to a cottage in the countryside. Of all the romantic partners in their life, their relationship is the closest and most special…wait, are they GAY?! Ew, no WTF is wrong with you?!!?!!!?!?! Quit perverting friendships!!!!! Why can’t two people just be friends anymore 😤

It's neck and neck, keeps flipping; we're 0.2% behind and 1 hour to go- LET'S FLIP IT BACK!

AHEAD BY A SLIM MARGIN, THEY'RE CHASING. RALLY!

COME ON EVERYONE IT'S ROUND 2, YOU HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN! WIN THIS, THEN THE FINAL!
