#Kirk would like him

I see

Send me “I see” and I’ll tell you how my character perceives yours

The little man was like most prey, running with fast feet with an even faster heartbeat hammering inside the cage of ribs that was his chest. The scent of fear exuded from Dwight in waves, smelling strong enough for Man-Bat to pick up on at random points around the city - it was a tempting thought to swoop down, to snatch him up and take him away to a place where he cannot run or hide, to taste his blood and yet something about him put the predator off, made his hackles stand on end. Why, Man-Bat could not say but he chirruped warily, turning his gaze elsewhere in search of an easier meal.

fic in which Spock is unconscious or in a healing trance, and Kirk has to carry him somewhere, and any time Kirk is touching him, Spock is purring. Kirk stops to set Spock down and the purring stops. He picks him up again? Instant purring.

Kirk didn't know Vulcans purred, and is. utterly smitten by this. Biggest heart eyes you can imagine. Keeps looking over at Spock with the World's Sappiest Smile.

my dear friend @marlenacantswim asked me to draw the TOS yaoi polycule and i want you to know this is what the whole show is like to me

fellas is it gay to lovingly caress your captains face as you remove his memories because you don’t want him to cry anymore. (he’s crying because he flirted with leonardo da vinci’s robot girlfriend too hard and she blew up fyi) just before this a mutual friend told you he pitied you because you had no capacity to love.

absolutely surreal to see william shatner seduce a man on the 1960s space show (don't worry there's a woman possessing his body)

really love characters who have varied panic responses. kirk stating himself that he does not panic outright, externally, not in high-stress dangerous situations, but instead becomes tense and level like a wound string, on-guard: mostly because his role as captain necessitates that he maintain level rationality even when facing potential death as his training as 'the guy who tells you what to do when shit hits the fan' requires, but also because his childhood experiences taught him early that drowning in the desperate haziness of panic won't help you survive. especially as kirk already follows his intuition so deeply. he learned to grasp and contort the feeling. spock is the main person who represses his emotions, of course, but kirk does it to those deep-set, personal ones (this includes how he doesn't reveal anything truly personal about himself willingly 90% of the time, only what others already know/shallow anecdotes) in a much more subtle way that's really interesting to me. certified expert at avoiding the subject as long as he isnt caught out on the lie. professional bluffer.

in terms of past or parents we dont know much!!! hes known as the heart-on-his-sleeve guy!!! like yes he yells, he gets irritated, excited, hes a whirlwind of quick-thinking and plans and intuition, he goes out of his way to connect with his crew and shows it, when he puts on a little act or bluff he puts his heart into it and clearly enjoys the dramatics so much, at times he wears his heart on his sleeve, he laughs openly and is honest to spock about what he means to him, he's very sun-coded to me in a burning, passionate way, always intertwined with the stars and seeking them out, but when it comes to genuine deep-set turmoil? we dont actually know all that much about him??? hes so full of emotion and character (i love fics where spock characterises jim's mind/bond as a whirl of colour and sensations, hes a quick thinker!!! intuitive!! lively!!!) and yet its still so outwardly surface level. tarsus iv gets mentioned like twice? so especially here where kirk gets briefly jumpscared by the creature, because like:

its subtle but his eyes. his eyesss!!!!! kirk commands with his emotions but there's always some sort of level of control to it, or he transforms them into something that spurs on others or uses them to ascertain a goal: seeing unguarded fear/distress in his eyes even if its faint and brief (in this instance) makes me go insane every single time. like!!! its such a small moment!!! he isnt even panicking!!! really, he just got jumpscared!!! its insignificant!!!!!!! but seeing a two-second flash of actual, naked apprehension is just...oughhh,,,,,,,,,

oh god, and dont even get me started on the galileo seven episode where he assumes a tense level-headedness throughout the whole thing, irritated and apprehensive but not panicking, making sure he maintains intelligent rationality, even when he has to leave them behind, but when spock and the crew are confirmed safe and the bridge is occupied the camera pans to him and his eyes look like they're fucking watering and he's so achingly relieved. don't even talk to me. im. fuck.

he shows so so much but at the same time reveals so little.

I was rewatching Mirror Mirror...

I'M SORRY W H A T

He doesn't tell Jim about the blood still on his chin, or even just gesture to his own face to let him know it's still there, nope. Bones just reaches out and immediately touches Kirk as soon as they get into a semi-private area. Also, the LOOk Bones is giving him as he does this.

Since human diets include lots of iron I imagine Vulcan diets have a “healthy” dose of copper. So it would only be about a month long trip before Jim would get copper poisoning because he’s too polite to turn down any Vulcan dish

[saudrag]

if spock were to smile at me like that i would totally lose any remaining sanity and kiss his handsome vulcan face silly. james kirk is a much stronger man than me.

POV: You are his little pog champ.

The Vulcan glanced up from his station with a look of utter calm that Jim read as fiercely controlled excitement.

so was no one going to tell me that jim kirk wanted to fuck abraham linkedIn or was i just supposed to find out for myself when they got trapped in a low budget lord of the flies scenario

[spirk-trek]

thinking about jealous!jim but not the usual kind of jealous, more like:

seeing spock interact with other telepaths

seeing spock interact with other vulcans

seeing him mind meld with literally anyone/anything else

thinking he's embarrassing spock when he shows his emotions

secretly hating the 'you couldn't pronounce his real name' jokes

wondering if he can be enough, if spock is fulfilled by their bond, their melds, even their sex because how could it not be better if he was anything but human? if he was anything but the one thing spock has spent most of the time they've known each other trying not to be?

knowing there are others out there who could know spock in ways he never will
