never change, man !

#phantom of the paradise #potp #swan potp #nightmaretheater #65 layers and about 24 hours . Eeeyyuppp #Look into my beautiful mind boy #Its a bit unusual to what i usually draw #but i had to push a specific look for this piece #hopefully you all are picking up on the corperate look . the advertisment look #Sneeze. Anyways my point is industry destroys creative people. This includes swan #I feel like phrases like these ; how he was put on a pedistal…. it lead him to be Like That #as awful as he is he desperately needed help #it might seem like vanity on the surface #but i think its… more than that #long story short: we need to destroy the beauty industry. the skincare industry. the anti-aging industry #It ruined his psyche forever and he cant let go of the ideal version of himself he will never truly be again #i dont think he can at this point. hes in too deep and hes suffering for it no matter how much he feels hes fixed his problems #he cant accept a version of himself that isnt that perfect young man. because he never confronted his problems. he just ran away #anyways . Hi swath *punches him**kicks him*#i dont care if nobody gets me lalalalla my truths and headcanons are awesome forever and i live in my own reality lallaallal #sorry i think im gonna be posting about swan alot for a few months hes making me sick #i wass gonna post this earlier but my internet was real bad #*lays down in my pile of pillows* eat up boys. haha #sidenote: drawing white blond people is horrifiying. Boy your skin and hair are the same color. Introduce some contrast to yourself. Please #adding on: its inportant to note this focuses on him looking st himself in the mirror alot on purpouse #to remind himself what he ‘’’’really’’’’ looks like #the 4 middle pannels all represent that too . u have to be in my brain ri get this #sorry for unleashijg another swan essay in my tags. will happen again lol

Remember the look Kirk gave Spock when he found out about Leila?

and how he stared her down LIKE THIS afterwards

Since they didn’t specify why Kirk was the only one immune to spores, I’m gonna take it so far as to say it had no effect on him because he was so mad at Spock about this

I love cozy murder mysteries, all those quaint little villages, rural counties, and little islands that are apparently the murder capital of the world.

tell me why the city on the edge of forever is just 50 minutes of kirk being in love with the cutest girl in town (fair, id fall in love with her too); spock awkwardly just Standing There (possibly jealous) (woahhhh who said that) and every time jim and edith had a moment it cut to Live Spock Reaction; and bones being a liiiiiiitle bit more insane than he already is

also, edith just eyeing spock and going YOU BELONG TO HIS SIDE ??????? a few episodes after this side of paradise where SPOCK SAID HE DIDNT BELONG???!? SICK AND TWISTED. (she did took a look at him and said yeah you know where you stand gay boy)

#star trek #st tos #star trek tos #leonard mccoy #jim kirk #star trek spock #bones star trek #spock #NO CAUSE AS SOON AS JIM AND EDITH HAS THEIR FIRST MOMENT SPOCK WAS JUST 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️#this felt like revenge for this side of paradise #jim head spock say it was the first time IN HIS LIKE he was happy #and said oh yeah? bet. *falls deeply in love with a very sciency human lady whos different from others*#and then she FUCKING DIES #and theyre both bitchless and sad now #at least they got each other ig #spirk #love is love #typo... in tags.. ouughh..

Waves gently kiss the shore at the US Virgin Islands National Park in St. John, where the water dazzles in the most vibrant shades of blue. It's a perfect slice of paradise where the sky meets the sea in a dreamy dance of colors.

Episode 24 "This side of paradise"

I guess I've been putting this one off. Let's talk about it. And I mean please let's have a discussion about it, because maybe I'm missing something and you can help me out.

It's not even a bad episode, honestly. It's disconcerting, but it's not bad. And I've seen the "sex pollen" and the "straight Spock" and you're right, it's all that. And you've got that little speech Spock makes at the end ... "that man on the bridge"... That's its own thing I don't want to even mention it.

It reminded me of "Shore leave" in a way. Don't ask me why, I can't explain it honestly. But do you see it?

Anyway, let's talk about meaning, let's talk about signs and symbols and what they signify because I'm very confused by the whole situation. I've seen people talk about the flowers as a euphemism for drugs, which I can't really make sense of. And the people living in harmony and peace could be a reference to the hippie/pacifist movement (see the idea of removal of strong emotions too).

But what does all of that have to do with Spock being capable of loving a woman he didn't love before?

I think there is something to the fact that the loss of individual personality makes for an unacceptable living condition for humans. But then again Spock is, in the Star Trek context, the emblem of the different, the strange, quite literally the alien. So he's being removed of his uniqueness and that makes him "straight" in the bad-but-peaceful society ??? That's not clicking for me.

And once again we find this idea that strong negative emotions are fundamental for making a human actually human. It's a recurring theme and it's still a pretty strange concept translated to the current time. But I guess after "A taste of Armageddon" I understand it a little better and I can see a good point to it.

Look, from what I understand the episode is saying: These flowers are removing negative emotions and conflict from these people, but also their unique personality, so it's bad because people should have a full spectrum of emotion and the possibility to express themselves. In this peaceful but wrong society Spock, who is usually considered an outsider for his "lifestyle" and opinions, can finally fit in and be in love, and feel things and that's... Bad! Because he has the right to choose who to be or rather simply be different and strange. He has the right to be whoever he wants to be in fact, even if some might think it's strange or bad.

Did I get it wrong? Because if this is it, it somehow looped around to be the most progressive take I've ever seen in old media. But I think I'm missing out on some very specific context here. Help me out.
