#SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP RAINBOWS T'HY'LA

[darehearts]

Are we loving on Lucy? Am I allowed to talk about one of my favorite people? Can I do that?

So, everyone knows how much Trek means to me, everyone has been on the receiving end of me telling them what it is and what it's done. I hesitated, thinking about bringing back Spock for a while - him being the character at times I felt I never got a real chance to explore, and never with people I really bonded with.

You taking up Jim was inspirational. It gave me the shot of adrenaline that I needed to rekindle my love for the franchise. I made Spock again, and I made him again without the expectation that you and I would be friends. But holy shit, am I ever so glad that not only our boys are, but, that we are.

Lucy, you are an incredible writer, with a passion behind the voice of Jim that takes him from the stereotype that he has been (wrongly) lobbied with for the last 60 years. You sit with every emotion and Jim never feels like a caricature of himself. It never feels like a parody, even the sillier, funnier, cracky stuff. He feels lived in, loved and all facets of his personality are infinitely on display. You embody this character as well, leading the dash and your followers forward, guiding them to be better and fuller versions of themselves, and picking them up and brushing the dust off when they're feeling down. It is an incredible gift to give the world, this influence, this leadership. It feels incredibly in line with who Jim is. Which is why I truly believe that you have embodied him in the writing so well.

Jim Kirk is one of those characters that is infinitely more complex than people give him credit for, and you sit with every single thing and create magic with it. To an extent where I genuinely believe that Gene Rodenberry himself, would be proud to see your writing.

I am honored to be sharing this journey with you, I'm honored to be your friend. I'm truly blessed to watch you write and evolve and grow.

You are one of my closest, dearest friends. We kept crossing paths in familiar fandoms, but never got the chance to really connect until now, but I am so glad we did.

oh my god this truly left me speechless i don’t know how to even convey my reciprocating feelings without dumping an essay on here i’m so  !!!!  i’m screaming bc what an honor for me to receive something like this from  YOU  !!!!  i indeed know how important trek is to you and to your family too and never a day goes by i don’t think about how things played out and we came together when and where we meant to aka through our boys although we were mutuals elsewhere. can you believe it happened exactly  ONE YEAR  ago  ?!  i can’t believe how much time already passed and how grateful i am for you and Spock.  when i made Jim,  i had no idea if you would pick up Spock or not so how you did and how we just clicked will forever have me in awe. i know for sure that i wouldn’t be nearly as passionate about Jim if not for how your passion for Spock and Trek didn’t rub off on me. i am your biggest fan both ic and ooc  SO READING THIS JUST  !!!!!!  brings me to tears for real. i am so honored. i definitely consider you one of my bestest friends ever.  here’s to hoping for many more years to come  !
