In light of the poll, it is interesting to see how The Footnote has seemingly been overlooked as confirmation that Kirk is somewhere under the bi/pan labels (not that I want to reopen that specific label debate / I was there, Gandalf, etc.) within certain circles. (And not that I'm typing this up to change anyone's mind. It's not the first Kirk Drift and if the pattern holds, it won't be the last.)

Editor's note: The human concept of friend is most nearly duplicated in Vulcan thought by the term t'hy'la, which can also mean brother and lover. Spock's recollection (from which this chapter has drawn) is that it was a most difficult moment for him since he did indeed consider Kirk to have become his brother. However, because t'hy'la can be used to mean lover, and since Kirk's and Spock's friendship was unusually close, this has led to some speculation over whether they had actually indeed become lovers. At our request, Admiral Kirk supplied the following comment on this subject:

"I was never aware of this lovers rumor, although I have been told that Spock encountered it several times. Apparently he had always dismissed it with his characteristic lifting of his right eyebrow which usually connoted some combination of surprise, disbelief, and/or annoyance. As for myself, although I have no moral or other objections to physical love in any of its many Earthly, alien, and mixed forms, I have always found my best gratification in that creature woman. Also, I would dislike being thought of as so foolish that I would select a love partner who came into sexual heat only once every seven years."

Within the show itself, anything about Kirk's sexual orientation being something other than straight would certainly have been circumstantial and subtext at best, but a book penned by the show's creator as a tie-in to the very first film will be able to state things more explicitly than what 1960s television or a film released in 1979 ever could. It's the difference between general audience versus fans versus supporters of K/S, the expectation that more people will watch the movie but not read the book, the fact that The Footnote is able to be interpreted in multiple ways is by design owing to that mass appeal that must cover the general audience/new fans, general fans, fans who support K/S, etc.

At the risk of putting it this way, that infamous "Kirk isn't Bi" tweet of Shatner's is technically correct until The Footnote comes in (which is why I do shake my head and chuckle that he quoted The Footnote as a supporting source. Lol, your exegesis sucks, Billiam). However, it is also true to argue that if Kirk and Spock were to be analogous to Alexander and Hephaestion, then the intent was always there, but again they could hardly be explicit about it on 1960s television. (Why Shatner changed his tune is anyone's guess / he's an enigma of a man). I say this given how Takei himself has stated that Roddenberry was afraid that a gay character would upset the network so much that they would cancel the show, which makes sense given the issues TOS was already facing for pushing the envelope as they were (the interracial kiss), on top of budget and scheduling issues. It's hard to have leeway with the network when your show is continuously going over time and budget the longer it stays on air, on top of the network's unfounded concerns about alienating The South.

Astromorph [Among Us x Chonny Jash]

Soooo this fic has done numbers on the Chonny Jash Fanserver, so I thought it'd be worth it to start being on tumblr more often and posting it here! Be warned, there be emotional damage ahead! (and also polycule shenanigans)

Special thanks to @chemical-bunz for cowriting chapter 2 with me, and also helping me port it from google docs to ao3.

Deep in space, there is a crew on the ship Tycho with one united goal: curing the Astromorph virus, a parasitic infection that causes its victims to turn into monsters.

Seven dead bodies later, only four members of the crew remain; Atlas Terraquis, Apollo Kingsman, Doctor Artemis Juno, and Harmonia Goodei; and they’re no closer to their goal of curing the infection.

Now, one more is gone, and their fragile peace is corroding all at once.

I want to comicon and saw Tal and,, he was just so kind and friendly and he liked my silly little cosplay, and he talked a bit about the Circus Man ;; also he asked if I read the comic yet and said Molly’s backstory was inspired by Harold and Maude, and that just,, breaks my heart—

I just finished reading The Sun And The Star and I spent a good twenty minutes to half an hour just sobbing with joy. The queerness in this book is powerful, and even better there are both genderqueer characters and sexuality-queer characters! When Rick dedicated this book for us, he really wasn’t lying. I think my brain chemistry has been permanently altered by this book and I’m thrilled and grateful beyond my own belief that I get to live in a world where this book exists. I feel so seen and loved and I just....I mean, if you’ve read the book and you’re in the Tumblr tags for it, you probably understand. And if you don’t, I’m sorry, but there’s really no way to explain it.
