#Sulu would probably want to prove his strength by trying to also climb though
I couldn't figure out how to put a poll in a reblog, and also reblogging it would have been EXTREMELY long, but this post and poll are in response to all my extraordinarily lengthy posts about theoretical photosynthetic Vulcans (and their acorn babies)
TLDR if you don't want to read the previous posts is that I came up with ideas about what it would be like if Vulcans were photosynthetic, and one of those ideas was that they'd asexually grow acorns with baby Vulcans inside, and once the baby Vulcans broke out of the acorn shells, they'd cling to the parent like a baby sloth does. This (oops) would lead to a very unnecessary but nonetheless raging climbing instinct which makes them want to climb shit all the time in spite of all things logical: a very annoying internal conflict.

Who should be who? Buttercup's wearing a red dress, so logically she should be the redshirt. However, Vizzini is the one who ends up dying a few minutes later, so maybe he should be the redshirt. However, Vizzini also yells insults at Fezzik the while time, so maybe that's Bones. On the other hand, Dr. McCoy deserves the honor of Buttercup's dress, don't you think? But so does Kirk. (I really wish I could draw better)
#sadly very few people are likely to see this so maybe I'll make the poll duration really long#...nope the only options are a day or a week oh well#Of course#this situation begs the question as to who Westley would be#maybe Wesley Crusher somehow time-traveled across several dimensions to be Westley from Princess Bride just for fun#or just holodeck#secret other option: Inigo is Sulu#because fencing#OH. No Sulu is Westley actually#(westley fences even better)#Spock decided Sulu could hopefully fend for himself alright* but that the redshirt was significantly more likely to die unless assisted#redshirt might somehow die anyway#*or at least be more likely to survive on the ground until Spock can either come back for him** or they can get the transporters to work#Sulu would probably want to prove his strength by trying to also climb though#if that's a bad character assessment please have mercy- I haven't actually seen much of TOS yet#**like a second round of groceries lol (carrying 3 people up an insane rock wall is already pushing it quite a bit)#vulcans#rock climbing#princess bride#photosynthetic vulcans#the tag “photosynthetic Vulcans” seems to be having less and less to do directly with their photosynthesis#I mean I swear it's still related#but this is a post about rock climbing and the TOS characters being in Princess Bride#not directly about photosynthetic humanoids at all#anyway sorry for making the tags so incredibly long#congratulations and many thanks if you've actually read through them all!!#goodnight
