#“i'll remember you captain”

I know I'm like decades late to the party and SNW is out and all but I think the events of "The Menagerie" would be even more interesting if Pike and Spock DIDN'T have a particularly close interpersonal relationship because I remember watching that episode and being a bit curious about why Spock would risk SO much for this man who, in-episode, I don't recall ever having any special bond portrayed with Spock. Spock, in that episode, is more the eager ensign than anyone of special importance and the episode doesn't set any scene aside to show that Pike has especially warm feelings towards him.

Of course, Spock served with Pike for eleven years and their relationship could have grown in that time and I expect the audience is supposed to assume that. (Or make the assumption that any crewman would do the same for their captain but Spock being Vulcan and not shown as particularly close to Pike DOES make you wonder! Especially since this is something Spock elected to do on his own and obviously planned in extreme detail and was willing to DIE over) In-universe, the events of the Menagerie are shown to justify why Spock wants Pike to go to that banned planet specifically - not to justify why He feels He has to do this for Pike but I just find it curious that there isn't even one scene where Pike and young Spock speak in depth to one another. Instead, Pike has that sort of scene with the Doctor. There's only moment I can recall that approaches that and it itself is interesting to me! There's a trilling, musical noise in the air and both Pike and Spock follow it to discover that some plant is emitting the noise. Pike stills one bunch of leaves and Spock stills the other, granting silence. Spock then turns to Pike with a smile and Pike looks back at him for a moment, face blank, before turning away. I like that TOS' Pike has a colder edge to him than Kirk and I can't help but think of his relationship to Spock from Spock's perspective where he's just abandoned his family and was effectively disowned and here, with Pike on Pike's Enterprise, is perhaps the first time he's ever felt like he might belong somewhere and be an asset to someone. Those feelings (whether or not Spock acknowledges them) might be strong enough that it doesn't quite matter how Pike feels about Spock as long as it isn't negative. In fact, maybe the experience of being praised and liked to any extent by a cold, commanding man ties into issues Spock canonically has with Sarek. Here is a man cold and distant enough to feel familiar but with that Human warmth and willingness to show emotion and give praise which Vulcan as a whole and more specifically his father has not been willing to grant Spock. I also can't help thinking of this from the perspective of Spock as a gay man either. Pike's clear longing for domestic bliss, a home with a wife and his beloved horse, can be juxtaposed with Kirk fairly easily to me: Kirk is shown throughout the series to be lonely and to fall in love with women but there's never really the possibility of him leaving the captaincy to be with them. He belongs to the Enterprise, with Spock. Pike's happy ending is being with a woman and Spock sees him there. Meanwhile, I think we all know that Kirk's happy ending does not entail this. It entails being on the Enterprise, a captain, and being with Spock as an extension of that. (Spock, revealed in this episode to have been part of the existing Enterprise staff, is almost an extension of the beloved starship) Perhaps the reason there's no explanation for why Spock is willing to go so far for Pike, to risk his life for a man we don't see as being particularly close to the Vulcan, is the same reason for the inexplicable curing of Spock's fever after 'killing' Kirk, is what I'm saying

I really wish yamato had gone with luffy and I love that he asked to be considered a crewmate anyway and that luffy told him he'd always have a place on the sunny so I a hundred percent consider him a mugiwara but in my ideal one piece where the war ended differently and ace is still alive yamato is his. like obviously ace is dead and he hadn't been a captain for a while before then anyway, but in my ideal one piece yamato belongs to him. he's a spades. he's ace's crewmate first and foremost.

Can’t wait for you to meet 13 and have Doctor Mom —Nic

I'm definitely excited to get to her run!!! I don't know much about her as the Doctor. Just a lot of mixed feelings? She could be my first mom f/o.. though something tells me if I'd of kept up with star Trek Captain Janeway would've made it on the listing

hate how a3 has this specific thing of how it manages to hit on extremely personal element, so when i end up relating to things it hits very deeply, makes me very emotional, and if i start talking about it i freeze midpost because “ooookay we’re in tmi territory and clearly not focused on the main topic anymore”, so i draft it away, but therefore i don’t trust myself to talk about the topic in depth. It’s very frustrating.

I know i already spilled so much tmi things because of a3 already but this was a new one (related to “chronic pain and the dread of pushing through pain until breaking point” in relation to Itaru’s ankle incident) and i’m just. unable to discuss it in a grounded way without bringing up an extremely personal experience and now i’m frustrated. 

a3 does it to me so often but i kinda thought i knew all the topics in question and this one being a new one means i’m just now pouting at my text editor screen.

life is cruel but it is sweet like the finest of chocolates, little delicacies to be enjoyed, only presented at the worst times you could imagine. this is because life and death share that sweetness, passed across tongues in a dimly lit alley behind the bar. hand in hand they both demand attention and respect, but you have to move on. their love is meant to be fleeting but it can quickly become all-consuming and you need to move on. the bittersweet has to be bitter and sweet, or else you've lost the plot entirely

look, it's probably a Marvel catchphrase I just don't recognise because I barely go here, so many of these people have inane catchphases like "It's clobberin' time"

but in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever during Namor and Shuri's big fight, he puts up his dukes and says, in Mayan, according to the subtitles, "Imperius Rex."

How do you speak Latin in Mayan?
