#I loved this sorry it’s late

You can only preserve one of these three eps. Which do you pick? "For the world is hollow..." or "Gem" or "The Man Trap"

I COMPLETELY MISSED THIS ASK

I’m sorry, this is a delightful question

“Gem” being The Empath?

Ok we can throw The Man Trap out straight away, he’s not nearly pathetic enough in it.

For the World is Hollow [etc.] is a damn good episode in its own right (putting aside the delightful patheticness of Bones) but it loses points for the terminal illness that lasts a couple of days*. But what it has! This girl sees Bones looking a bit woozy and falls in love. I get it. Spock finds out he’s (temporarily) dying and grabs onto his arm as if he can hold him the right side of death. Kirk watches with a little smile like, my boys. They abandon him to his inevitable death. He has a pain generating machine inserted into his body. Willingly. For the promise of a warm body to snuggle up to whilst he dies. But then he changes his mind and goes back to (not) die with his pals.

The Empath… is not the best episode of TOS. But it has such patheticness. SUCH patheticness. The moment Bones says “I think we should call her Gem” and he sounds drunk. And spends the rest of the episode very nearly calling his new pet Jim. He knocks out Jim and whilst Spock’s congratulating him he stabs him with the hypospray too. He goes bravely to his death. He tells Spock he has a good bedside manner. He tells Spock he has a good bedside manner. He tells Spock he has a good bedside manner. That’s a declaration of love. Spock holds him. Spock doesn’t say it’s ok, I always knew it was your way of showing affection, and I always took it personally.

And Jim and Spock are together, as they’re always together, as they belong, watching over him. Moving together… this episode is about love

Ep 7 Aftermath (given the planet didn't explode yet)

Part 2

[nenayaquisieras]

Simon has always been confused on why you gift him toys. Sure, most of the gifts you gave him were some of the things he liked. Bourbon, masks, gloves, make up for him to smudge his eyes with, some daggers and knives. Things that we're useful for him, just him. But later, you gifted him a toy airplane. He makes a comment about it, saying he is not a child anymore and you were better off giving it to Johnny instead.

"No, this is specifically for you, take it."

When he gets to him room, he walks toward his trash can, opening it with the tip of his boot. He gives one more look at the toy, his mood souring before throwing it into the trash. He goes on about his day, training, signing paper work, drills. Doing anything to ignore the pain stinging memories that the toy brought back. Emotions that were buried thousands of feet deep it could reach hell itself. Later, he lies awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, avoiding looking at the cylinder shape that's calling for him in his peripheral.

Fuck.

He pulls the covers off vigorously and stomps over to the trash can. He is standing over it like he's trying to intimidate it, as if it was an enemy he's trying to get rid of in battle. To anyone else, the scene would look comical.

He sighs to himself and reaches down to take out the toy he so cruelly threw away. He sets it on his desk and quickly walks toward his bed, facing away from his desk.

The next day, he wakes up feeling different. He swears he sees his room more vibrant, more lively. That energy follows him through out the day, having his other teammates notice his rather bright mood.

You catch him in the hallway. Pulling him aside to ask him about the paper work you left at his desk this morning. Of course, he notices the way you smile brightly, more so than usual. But he notices that you're not looking at him. More like looking at something next to him.

"What's got you so cheery?"

You turn to look up at him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I just..." You take a quick glance at the spot next to him, before bringing your eyes back upon his.

"I just hope you liked your gift." The same bright smile appearing on your face.

He stares at you, examining your words. Your expression.

You think you see his eyes crinkle a bit.

"Yea,"

"I liked it."

This might be a little random, but I just want to shout out the artists who try different approaches and have vastly different headcanons from what's considered "the norm" within the COTL fandom. You guys are the MVP.

You guys give us a new flavor and taste we never thought we would like, despite gatekeepers trying to push their opinions and telling you to "do this!" or "It should be that!", you guys can just ignore them and do whatever you like is incredible.

TLDR: Let people share their stories the way they want to. I'm sorry to say this but not everyone is gonna ship the sheep and the cat, hell the story might not be ship-focused, and that's okay! God forbid we have variety in this house-

so ye that my lil rant for the day :)
