spirk in snw thoughts

after watching the garashir in ld episode then reading tawny newsome's thoughts on it, this is what i think they should do with spirk in snw. (i mean other than show the beginnings of their friendship, which i think is a given regardless). I think they should just confirm them as bi/pan and leave it at that. I think that would enhance both the platonic and romantic meaning of spirk, while allowing people with attachment to one reading or another to not have their interpretation nullified, but still not be cowardly. This is what i mean. Right now, i think there are a lot of people who see spirk as "just friends" or "they have to be friends because they can't be a couple." But imagine if both characters are queer and you see them as platonic. They aren't "just friends" -- they choose friendship as the most important relationship in their lives. They didn't settle for this, to them, a vulcan who was raised to shun friendship and a human who didn't form strong bonds of kinship bc he is constantly on the move b/c of space + ambition, this relationship is the most important, across time and space, and even though they could have been a married couple, this interaction transcends that. (and it isn't that two straight dudes can't have that, but that it would confirm that this is a deliberate choice. it isn't because the right lady never crossed their paths, they are deliberately in a queerplatonic relationship -- they might even be sexual with other people, but they always come back to this). But it also would make the romantic reading completely valid without changing anything. All the touches, glances, proximity that in any m/f couple would by default be interpreted as romantic (see riker/troi) would not be brushed off as "well it cannot be romantic because they are both men." now i, an enlightened media watcher, always assume any character could be gay straight bi etc until told otherwise, there are a lot of people who need to be told this. Its would be a completely ordinary interpretation of the events of screen with this addition. Its not shippers making everything gay. They are just queer people who might have had a sexual relationship because they acted like people who do. We don't know that they did, but you are free to draw your own conclusions. Anyway that is my dream for all of this -- its a prequel so i never expected them to be together, but if they like sneak in kirk going on a date with a guy at some point or something, then nobody can be like "friends is all they COULD be" instead of "this relationship could be anything and everything they wanted it to be".

Analysis, Mr Spock?

[starberry-cupcake]

they just did all these little things to each other throughout decades and new versions need to get on this level of being weird with each other (affectionately)

When Spock says “I have been and always shall be yours” it immediately cuts to the next scene so that totally means he and Jim kissed right after he said it. When the cameras weren’t rolling if you will.

If original K/S isn't soft, emotional, and gorgeous all at the same time it's simply not K/S, and in the age of subversion and irony and flinching in the face of sincerity Unification managed to capture that old sentimental magic and beauty to absolute perfection.
