Apparently, back in the day, there was a really notorious tie in novel for Star Trek that had a lot of slash elements called Killing Time

The slash elements were requested to be removed by Paramount, and they were, BUT due to a mistake, the original was sent to print without the edits

When it was caught, they’d printed 250k of this “first edition” which subsequently became collectors items for Kirk/Spock fans, since later editions DID include the edits censoring the slash

NOW, I bring this up because my friend who’s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause we’re slow on weekends and we’re the only ones here. She laughs at it, so I ask and she tells me about the general backstory of the book, and that she laughed because (among other things) Kirk, who doesn’t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right

So I’m looking over her shoulder at the scene, commenting on the character changes that resemble modern fic-degradation of characterization for the sake of a shipping dynamic, when I realize something

Now, my only interaction with the Star Trek series directly was the 2009 reboot, and my friends hasn’t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As I’m looking at this scene, and my friend is pointing out the character changes to Kirk, I realize that this is the fucking premise of the reboot, down to the fucking alternative timeline shenanigans, the rank swap, and Kirk being a hotheaded fuck up

The 2009 film was literally based on this slash fiction misprint they tried to bury!

Im reeling.

I can’t be the only one who made this connection.

So I google to see if anyone else has, and oh yes, good, there was someone

The fucking author of Killing Time

…I feel like I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. I’ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I can’t focus. The world must know.

Enemies to lovers? Blue Eye Samurai is just for you!

"You can't die before me!" and "Only I can kill you!" are the words Taigen (in green) repeats to our protagonist Mizu (in blue). They were childhood enemies and now they are rivals.

But both of them feel sexual tension and Mizu's feelings for Taigen are not platonic kind. After all, Mizu is into strong men who can hold their ground when fighting with him.

They fight alongside each other and make painful sacrifices for each other. They deny their feelings and desires.

One can't help but root for them.

there is just something about the difference between edwin's love interests and having the cat king's reaction to edwin in hell being "i'll be waiting when he gets back" vs charles "no version of this where i don't come get you" rowland convincing a powerful trans-dimensional being to open a door to hell just so he could get him back

i am insane

Endurance frozen in the ice, 1914-1917. Frank Hurley Platinum print.

The Endurance was an exploration ship that became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica in 1915. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship was squeezed by the ice for ten months before being crushed, but the crew all survived.

I love the main three Arcane couples cuz it's like

first there's JayVik. and they went "Let's do Madoka Magica, but make it Joy instead of Bittersweet and also about combating internalized ableism." and I'm already climbing the walls like a creature

and then there's TimeBomb. and these insane people went "I think we should doom the straights, let's doom the straights. how about he can control time to a certain extent but not enough to save her from herself and the past so he loses her anyway but not before realizing how good they could have been together. oh and she will never really get the chance to find out." and i'm already crying in the club

and then there's fucking CaitVi god fucking bless. these glorious bastards literally went "the lesbians? yeah they get to have the crazy life-affirming sex in the poorly thought out location at a point of high emotional tension, and they also get to have the happily ever after in the nice house where they verbally confirm to the audience that they are going to be staying together." and I'm already cheering in the stadium

the funniest thing about donna tart saying she didn't want to write a female mc for the secret history because people would wonder if she's doing all this because she's in love with henry is that it made no difference whatsoever. the secret history mc is a man and still we're all wondering if he was in love with henry
