They Were Having A Whore Off

two headed man

I think it is very important for new Star Trek fans, especially new TOS fans to know that in 2008, George Takei, who played Sulu, got married to his partner of 23 years, Brad Altman, and at their wedding, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, and Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, served as Best Lady and Best Man.

Jim: are you sure this is where the distress signal came from, Spock?

Spock: yes, Captain. the message said they were dealing with a creature called the Unknown

I think I need to rewatch the Captain America series and tfatws but before that

I want to ask a question, which is

Why Sam and Bucky can be friends so naturally. Whether in platonic way or romantic way and somehow I tend to see them as a pure relationship cause using these two concepts to define their relationship is still narrow. I didn't mean that they shouldn't be, but they are just too good to be true, and it kinda makes me feel a little bit unreal.

Inspired by @spacefroggity post here

I have so many thoughts but I at least want to address the "for the new unicorn" note. because first of all it's so incredibly gratifying for izzy to finally be accepted into a community. it was shown before that the crew cares for him in some way but it was the first time he really saw that. that he isn't useless and alone, that he still has a place on the ship. even more so the crew WANTS HIM to be on the ship. and also that they want him to embrace his disability which doesn't make them think any less of him.

but also the choice of words. because inherently it rings queer, unicorn as a symbol of queerness. and even if it may have a negative sound when you use it differently here it is extremely positive. izzy is not only accepted to the crew, he's also accepted to the queer community, to the family. the unicorn on the revenge was also the one that was leading the ship, so one can argue that they want him to take that role in their dynamic.

and you can see that he does so immediately. he puts himself together and starts helping the crew. he's still bitchy but no longer violent and cruel. he helps stede and lucius immensely because that is what he does now. he's part of the family. twat.

apologies for the terrible video quality but i NEED y'all fellow Spirk enjoyers to see this freakin' blooper

look at my doctor dawggg i'm going to die
