Do not look under the cut unless u care about city oc's and also fankids k thanks

Mobile AL. (he/him): Est. 1702, born 1990. Currently 17 physically.

Ft. Wayne IN. ‘Winny’ (she/her): Est. 1794, Born 1996. Currently 14 physically.

Huntsville AL. ‘Hunt’ (she/her): Est. 1805, born 1997. Currently 13 physically.

Evansville IN. ‘Evan’ (she/her): Est. 1812, born 1999. Currently 12 physically.

Tuscaloosa AL. ‘Lucy’ (he/him); Est. 1819, born 2001. Currently 11 physically. (twin)

Montgomery AL. ‘Monty’ (he/him); Est. 1819, born 2001. Currently 11 physically. (twin)

Indianapolis IN. ‘IJ’ (he/him); Est. 1821, born 2002. Currently 11 physically.

South Bend IN. ‘Joey’ (they/them); Est. 1865, born 2006. Currently 9 physically.

Birmingham AL. 'Val' (he/him); Est. 1865, born 2007. Currently 8 physically.

(Montgomery and Tuscaloosa are twins bc I found out they were officially established ten days apart so now it's stuck in my head)

(Est. is when the city itself was established, born is the year the personification came into existence however u want to interpret that)

(if u note the years and their ages you'll notice they age at half the rate of normal folks until they hit about 25, they keep aging after that but it slows down substantially)

(Indianapolis' nickname is IJ bc everyone had gotten used to calling Indiana 'indy' so they jokingly called him Indy Jr. to distinguish then it got shortened to IJ and stuck around. South Bend's nickname is Joey bc they're on the Saint Joseph river :] Birmingham got Val bc of the Vulcan statue (long story), and Ft. Wayne is Winny bc Ohio started calling her that and it stuck)

1987 - 2024: 37 years together this November 14th

3 years together, 1990, they had Mobile by absolute accident.

9 years together, 1996, is when they decide they want to have more kids, and that same year Ft. Wayne is born.

10 years together, 1997, they have Huntsville.

12 years together, 1999, they have Evansville.

14 years together, 2001, they have the twins Tuscaloosa and Montgomery.

15 years together, 2002, they have Indianapolis.

19 years together, 2006, they have South Bend.

20 years together, 2007, they have Birmingham.

Tldr; minus the time between Mobile and Ft. Wayne and the couple years between Indianapolis and South Bend they were that couple that was always expecting. Beat Utah in number of kids and smallest age gap >:] (the twins and Indianapolis are barely over a year apart)

Mobile

Typically very warm and friendly, and the top offender when it comes to passive-aggressively making people take care of themselves. Currently going through an aloof phase, he’ll get over it though. Has and has had, a lot of nonconventional pets over the years snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, a couple ant farms (fire ants once though he made sure his parents didn’t find out about that…). Locked in a lifelong feud with New Orleans over Mardis Gras (he also has a crush on her but the feud is more important >:[)

Fort Wayne

Personality much like her namesake General “mad” Anthony Wayne. Her passion for just about everything she’s into isn’t always bad but she is very easy to rile up, very short fuse, regular in both the nurses and principals offices. Really much like Alabama, but somehow worse. Very passionate about the environment but in a very 14 yr old way, out here scolding her family members for things like not recycling and leaving the sink on while they brush their teeth.

Huntsville

Loudest of the kids no competition, the child can scream and will not hesitate to do so. Usually just because she’s just so excited and can’t keep it all bottled up or she feels like she’s going to burst. Got her passion for mechanics from Indiana, but instead of getting into cars and developing a bordering unhealthy obsession with NASCAR like mom and dad went “you know what’s cooler than race cars? Spaceships!!” and it all was downhill from there. Definitely a Mathlete.

Evansville

The most mild of all the kids, not really loud and angry like dad, not really quiet and passive-aggressive like mom. She’s the mild salsa of people, and she is definitely happy that way. Very interested in medical fields, particularly the ones most people find the grossest, knows a lot of medicine history though mostly civil war and ww1. Walk away now if you don’t want to hear about the history of amputations and prosthetics.

Tuscaloosa

The rough and tumble kid, much like Alabama when he was young. Stubborn and very opinionated. Wishes he was still the capital, often jealous that Montgomery gets to be it. Football is already his entire personality, wears nothing but Crimson Tide merch, and has played youth football since he was four. Regular in urgent care, not always for football related injuries because he is also just has dumbass as a personality trait.

Montgomery

Most quiet and anxious of the kids, much like Indiana when she was young, and also like his namesake General Richard Montgomery. Even already often wishes Tuscaloosa was still the capital just to not have to deal with the responsibility of it. Absolute history nerd, “did ya know-” could be his catchphrase with how often he walks up to any available family member to go on his latest ramble. Plays football too, but really hates it, too nervous to tell Alabama he doesn’t like it.

Indianapolis

How to kindly call an eleven year old a snobby, self-important, prick. Genuinely thinks he’s the center of the universe, not helped by the fact that he is in the dead center of Indiana. Has that previously mentioned bordering unhealthy obsession with NASCAR. He's also just so... annoyingly patriotic, but doesn't show it until you're too far in to the conversation to just walk away.

South Bend

I mean this affectionately, they’re weird. You either die a weird little boy or live to see yourself become a weird nonbinary teenager. Car enthusiasts, but not specifically NASCAR like the majority of the family, just generally likes cars. While you studied the blade they were at antique car shows. Really close with good ol’ Uncle Michigan.

Birmingham

Greco-Roman myths nerd over here, never going to leave his PJO phase. That baby of the family privileges really make up half this guys personality, gets whatever he wants bc he's mamas baby boy. Not really relevant to his personality but he is a solid kid, v dense.

#wttt mobile #wttt fort wayne #wttt huntsville #wttt evansville #wttt tuscaloosa #wttt montgomery #wttt indianapolis #wttt south bend #wttt birmingham #wttt indiana #wttt alabama #wttt indibama #wttt #welcome to the table

what's your most trivial / dumbest hot take? mmm... maybe that every person should watch at least one animated thing (smth not made for kids like where the wind blows or arcane) and one thing from a non-english speaking country/with subtitles

if you had to teach a college course what would it be in? probably makeup artistry? its my one and only practical skill and I would've been a licensed artist if our teacher hadn't quit her job halfway through lmao

season 12 of shameless is suddenly happening and you've been out in charge! what plot point(s) are you gonna make happen? its the mickey and debbie show now and there will be various wholesome shenanigans but fr get carl outta the police force, maybe into college and that can be a nice bonding thing for him and liam studying together. oh and they definitely keep the house, maybe lip and deb get on good terms by fixing up the place together. debbie maybe runs into alex again and they give it another go? ian and mickey have wacky comic relief with their neighbours (the possibilities are endless) and probably think more seriously about starting a family and definitely get a cat or dog I just want to bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy

who would be your godly parent (can be any mythology)? I took a percy jackson quiz for this one and got Hephaestus, Greek god of artisans, blacksmiths, carpenters, craftsmen, fire, metallurgy, metalworking, sculpture and volcanoes, which sounds cool as shit (roman equivalent is Vulcan too?? hell yeah)

do you have a pet/pets? if so, how did they get their name(s)? I have two cats, artemis and athena, they're sisters from the same litter. my fiancé named them because she loves mythology (I'll put some kitten pics under the cut💕) alternate names were william the bloody and willow (if we got a boy and a girl, from buffy), april and miriam (from coraline), and teacup and lucifer (from the cat lady/downfall)

show us a meme (or picture) that captures your essence: middle one is irl only I love to be Perceived Online

what's your typical coffee / tea / beverage order? oat milk latte, iced if it's warm out

#i think there's something very ur-fascism abt it but idk maybe that's just me <- me just now

ok now i'm rereading "ur-fascism" (by umberto eco) and here are the points that mirror!archer is hitting:*

3: "Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes." <- appropriate given that his mutiny is inspired by forrest being unwilling to go off on his batshit little side mission. also funny given that he gets killed by mirror!hoshi, who seems to be as much of a language nerd as her prime counterpart.

5: "The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition." <- mirror!archer's hella xenophobic (in the space anti-alien racist sense). btw love the bit abt reframing first contact as an attempted vulcan invasion. ofc that's what the empire would do.

7: "Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia." <-

ARCHER: Not just her. We'll get rid of all the non-Terrans. I'll transfer them off Defiant. HOSHI: All of them? ARCHER: The rebels have spies everywhere. I can't afford to have a single alien aboard my flagship.

8: [this is the one i was thinking of btw] "Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy." <- this is actually most interesting in the context of mirror!archer's relationship with prime!archer. he insists that prime!archer is weak, but he is haunted by the image of a prime!archer who is a better ur-fascist hero than him. he's tormented by (what he sees as) prime!archer's weakness and strength, all at once.

9: "...pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare." <- "MIRROR!ARCHER: There's nothing great about that man. He sold out Earth's future to a group of subhuman species. Great men are not peacemakers. Great men are conquerors."

12: "Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters...Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur-Fascist hero tends to play with weapons — doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise." <- i mean this is like. the entire premise of the mirror universe's aesthetic

13: "Wherever a politician casts doubt on the legitimacy of a parliament because it no longer represents the Voice of the People, we can smell Ur-Fascism." <- mirror!archer gets bonus points for suggesting that the emperor no longer represents the voice of the people in his big speech

*to be clear, here's how eco envisions the usage of his diagnostic criteria:

The notion of fascism is not unlike Wittgenstein’s notion of a game. A game can be either competitive or not, it can require some special skill or none, it can or cannot involve money. Games are different activities that display only some “family resemblance,” as Wittgenstein put it

and

But in spite of this fuzziness, I think it is possible to outline a list of features that are typical of what I would like to call Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism. These features cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.

i'm normally kind of meh abt mirror episodes but enterprise's is really doing it for me. i love the fact that the devil on mirror!archer's shoulder is prime!archer.

it's great bc he's this image based only on the fact that prime!archer is more successful than him, so we get this fantasy of what a horrible little man thinks a more successful version of himself would think of him and it's entirely batshit wrong

#i should write this up into a proper essay sometime. this was more productive than i thought it'd be.#star trek #ent #ur-fascism (eco)#mea res

Holly Wood

Thunderbird Tail Feather

10 ¾

Reasonably Supple Flexibility

Holly wood is of the more rare variety of wand woods. Often considered protective and attracted to those who need help overcoming anger and imeptiosity. Typically their owners are engaged in a dangerous or spiritual quest. Thunderbird tail feathers are said to be great for transfiguration and are proceedingly difficult to master.

Amortentia: He smells something distinctly animal, faint smokiness, and lavender.

Patronus: An Occamy.

Specialized/Favourite Spells:

Specializes in transfiguration spells

Quidditch

Favourite Professors: McGonagall

Professor McGonagall is someone Konn looks up to immensely. As he specializes in Transfiguration and later begs to undergo the ritual for becoming an Animagus, she is his closest and greatest ally and teacher. She always looks out for him and presents him with more opportunities to further his skill.

Least Favourite Professors:

Rakepick: As far as things go with Rakepick, her entire duration as a professor always rubbed Konn the wrong way. He hated her secrecy and interference with the Vaults. He begrudgingly worked with her to gain information and to find his brother, mostly using her as she used him.

Snape: He is mostly disliked due to the toxic relationship he develops with Konn. Always pushing Konn to higher standards than everyone else in unachievable ways, Konn always felt the need to meet them as Snape showed he cared for him and was his HoH. As someone afraid of failure, this was always something that stressed Konn. (Not to mention Snape always praises Merula.)

- RELATIONSHIPS -

Brother: Allston Rainwater

Pureblood Wizard

Attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin

His Animagus form is a Golden Jackal

Allston acted as Konn’s parental figure for the most part. The two were inseparable. His love for his brother outweighs just about everything else.

He never wanted to get involved with the Vaults, but was given no choice.

Allston abstained from having any relations with anyone, often saying he had too much on his plate between the Vaults and his brother. Though later when Konn gives him a normal life, he’s revealed to be straight and marries a muggle woman, having two kids with her.

Misc Siblings: N/A

Father: Roland Rainwater

44 years old

Works for the Ministry of Magic as a high ranking official

Pureblood Wizard

Attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin

Had little interest in his actual kids, spent most of his time working and out of the house, only coming around with gifts just to disappear again.

Very wealthy.

It was suspected later that he was responsible for working with R and that he had pressured Allston into searching for the Vaults.

Mother: Charlotte Rainwater

42 years old

Pureblood Witch

Works as a journalist and writer, always traveling and hunting her next big thing.

Attended Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw.

She was always a bit of a narccisist. Always obssessed with her own career and luxury earninings. She spends big and lives freely, using her work as an excuse for the neglect she left her children with.

Love Interest: Talbott

Towards the start, Talbott wanted nothing to do with Konn. He found him dangerous and obssessive, his constant trouble-making with the Vaults always causing him to worry.

Konn crushed on him first after seeing how he worked with Transfiguration and learned he was an Animagus.

In attempts to get Talbott to notice him and strike jealousy, Konn asked Tonks to be his fake date to the ball. This rouse failed miserably as Talbott just thought they were dating.

During 5th year, Konn finally confessed how he felt. Talbott had his reserves, but agreed to a first date.

They compliment each other really well. Both specializing in the same areas, Talbott’s cool and collected often soothes Konn’s rampant lack of control, while Konn often convinces Talbott to come out of his shell.

While still chasing Talbott, over a summer, Konn and Hal have a brief fling before realizing they’re more like brothers and wondering what the hell they were thinking.

Best Friends:

Nymphadora Tonks

Rowan Khanna

Rival: Merula

Enemy: R, Rakepick, his father, and later on (I think for everyone) Voldemort, Ben Copper.

Dormmates:

Rowan

Barnaby

Murphy

Orion

Pets: His pet Fennec Fox, Vulcan. Vulcan was gifted to him by Allston right before he vanished. It is speculated Allston went home, left the gift, then went back to Hogwarts where he was finally trapped.

Closest Canon Friends:

Talbott Winger

Nymphadora Tonks

Rowan Khanna

Tulip Karasu

Barnaby Lee

Jae Kim

Charlie Weasley

Closest MC Friends:

Hal Greywind @one-very-angry-hufflepunk

Ethren Whitecross @hogwartsmysterystory

Kaina Malin @zuulosdovah

Uriel Nightclaw @montdiarts

Skylar Morningstar @angrynar

Daisy Withers @ruby-and-opal-withers

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

As an infant, Konnor was nannied by an elderly woman hired through services. She was strict and cold, pushing his incredibly young mind to work before it was ready. This was when he showed signs of being a metamorphmagus, always seeming to scare the living daylights out of the woman who could never keep up with walking into a room and seeing a different baby each time.

By the time Konnor had turned four, Allston was his primary caretaker. The two brothers were inseparable, always learning, exploring. They had great fun teasing all the teachers and incoming caretakers together. It just so happened, they also took more fun in seeing how much they could milk from their parents. Pizzas every night, horror movies on the screen. It was through fun, companionship, and love that Konn shaped and grew into a more controlled state. He was smart, always pushing Allston to teach him more and more. It got quite lonely once Allston began going to Hogwarts and leaving all year save for holidays and summer, but they wrote religiously and Konnor would always be bouncing and ready to beg his brother to share all he’d learned during the year once he returned.

Hogwarts. At this stage in Konnor’s life, it was finally his turn to go to the grand school he’d been itching to attend ever since his brother had… but it came bittersweet. Allston had never come home to celebrate his acceptance letter. Had never come home to prep, to plan, to discuss what happened that year. He’d vanished, and with it he took most of Konn’s excitement and control. As emotions ran rampant in the boy, he started his years at the school a freak. Lonely. They all talked about his brother, the expectations for himself. There was little love or care in what he did save for seeking out his brother. Many may say he grew jaded, untamed, obsessive. There was only one thing that really clung to his heart, the fennec fox his brother had left behind for him as a pet.

Indirectly, his parents taught him many things. Konnor, at heart, grew to be quite frugal, never taking advantage of anything given to him (lest it was another gift from his father that meant nothing at all). He was also taught what family really meant, that it was between those who meant something to you and should be protected at all costs. Though on a much opposite end, he also found he had to work twice as hard for any recognition, always pushing himself above and beyond to be anything great. Especially when he had Allston to impress.

After leaving Hogwarts at the end of his schooling, Konn went on reunited with his brother in full. While Allston never rejoined the wizarding world fully, becoming something of a vigilante to hunt down those that’d wronged him and threatened his family, Konn began avidly seeking out the Order. He was quickly accepted as a spy, doing frequent operation work while maintaining a line on his brother and making sure he stayed out of danger.

At one point, he was approached by a Death Eater, and nearly underwent necessary precaution to become a double agent, but Allston, Hal, and Talbott quickly ushered against the idea of their brother, friend, and lover being marred permanently by a symbol and risking his life more than he already did.

During the heat of the war, Konn asked Talbott to always be his. They then promised each other that once the battle and hardships were over, they’ll consider marriage and having a family together. However, it is quickly discovered it wouldn’t be so simple.

It is found out that in Konn and Allston’s attempts to bring their father to justice that he’s murdered in order to keep whatever secrets he might have had. This is then promptly framed on Allston who it catches up to later alongside much of his vigilante practices. When faced with the hard decision to persecute his own brother, Konn instead begs Talbott to help him remove Allston’s memories and give him a normal life. Removing all of Allston’s memories and replacing them with something much more mundane, they move Allston to America where he’s finally free from the perils of the wizarding world.

Konn never appears to be the same after losing his brother for good, but lives the rest of his life working and watching out for any oncoming threats. He and Talbott eventually do settle down with two adopted children together.

- PERSONALITY -

Protective: Konn is protective of his loved ones to a fault. Deep rooted with paranoia, he is constantly fretful for his loved ones and does everything in his power to keep them safe while still trudging through the hell that is their experience in Hogwarts and beyond. He’s quick to jump at the defense of his friends and family, not afraid to risk his own hide in the process should it be necessary.

Short Tempered: Of his many rampant emotions, anger is the quickest one to flare and show. Anytime he’s frustrated or annoyed, someone is bound to know. Whether it be his shortness or the flaming red hair, you’re welcome to take your pick of context. He’s very quick to annoy and while true anger from him is hard to achieve, petty anger and annoyance is almost constant. Droning noises, interruptions, and blatant stupidity are all quick to grate his nerves.

Stubborn: Konn has never been one to back down from anything, and he never intends to. Driven by a need to prove himself and inability to let something go, he will see something through to the very end. This allows him all the qualities of a hard worker. He gives everything his all without any intention of slowing or stopping. Sometimes this also means doing the work for others if they can’t keep up.

Intelligent/Cunning: While irritating on many levels when he tries to be the smartest person in the room, Konnor truly is smart. He often gets things faster than most and while conventional learning is useless, his hands on learning style allows him to learn on the fly. He almost always has an answer for everything and uses this to aid himself and his friends whenever they’re caught in a bad situation. He also consistently keeps good grades on everything while at Hogwarts.

Ambitious: It’s no surprise as a Slytherin that Konn tends to aim high. Though not in the standard many may think, he doesn’t want glory or fame or money. His ambitions are often geared towards his power and loved ones. Whether it be proving to the world he can take down the Vaults and save his brother, getting all his loved ones out alive, furthering his own power, or even taking down R himself. He’s the kind to look at a challenge and want nothing more than to conquer it.

Loyal: Alongside his protectiveness, Konn would never leave someone he cared for behind. He’s not even the type to leave someone he cared very little for behind. Including Merula on some occasions. As far as Konn is concerned, the only person allowed to bully his people are him. He is quick to rise to any occasion to stick by and protect his friends. Should they need a hand in battle, to get out of detention, or simply a shoulder to cry on, he tries to always be there.

MISC

NOTE: This section may update from time to time.

Konn lives in Bloomsbury, London when not attending Hogwarts in the Rainwater family home and often invites his friends over to stay with him during the summer.

He’s attempted to play many instruments including the violin, flute, and piano but never felt it was for him in the end and lost his touch if he ever acquired it.

Despite never having much room to prove it, he is a huge animal lover and adored his time working with Magical Creatures, often wishing he’d spent more time dedicating to it.

Konn was born with awful vision, but as he learned to control his metamorphmagus abilities, his eyesight also varied and improved.

No one is really sure whether his metamorphmagus abilities were inherited or not.

Konn comes from a small family of only two uncles, an aunt, and three cousins on his dad’s side of the family. His mother was an only child.

He listens to 80′s rock religiously after Hal introduced him to muggle music and what he learned was called a ‘cassette player’. Hal let him use it once and never got it back.

While his family is rich, spending money stresses Konn out.

Much like his mother, he developed a knack for writing, however exclusively keeps it as a hobby

He let Hal try to teach him to shoot a gun once. He bruised his shoulder and after promptly startling himself into a new shape, vowed never to use one again.

Konn has never lost a game of Monopoly in his life.

After Rowan’s death, Konn blames Ben and fosters an incredible hatred for the boy after.

10 New Cruiser Motorcycles That Prove Heaven Exists on Two Wheels

Nothing squanders time as fine as cruising on a motorbike. By definition, cruising is lackadaisical and pointless, absent of destination or point. you merely cruise, at one together with your bike, taking within the sights and smells, the cool air laundry over, cleansing the soul. tho' gift within the moment, your unbound imagination wanders, the feeling of primal vehemence resonant with each flick of the gliding joint, hurling you into the long run. it's going to be the nighest issue to flying while not going the bottom. If you have lusted for a motorcycle—or simply have to be compelled to go back to within the saddle—the following 10 cruiser motorcycles square measure line to you. And for a lot of nice ways that to cruise to your mind's content, attempt driving one in all the ten sexiest droptops on the road.

At $13,499 Victory's military man may be a solid alternative for brand spanking new riders on a budget. inbuilt Iowa since 1997, upstart triumph defied all expectations with traction in a very market nearly closely-held by Harley-Davidson. They've succeeded by building well-engineered, boldly-designed bikes within the best yank tradition. With the military man, triumph evokes old-school, anti-authoritarian Bobbers like those created common within the classic amount film The Wild Ones. A Gunner's vogue replicates the repurposed military bikes that returning G.I.s brought back following the Second warfare, stripped to its minimalist necessities, usually with chopped—or 'bobbed'—fenders. hopped-up by a sturdy, cool 1731cc fuel-injected V-twin engine with twin, staggered slash-cut aspect pipes, the military man is all you would like to unleash your inner Brando.

9017 Suzuki avenue M109R B.O.S.S.

Suzuki avenue, 017 Suzuki avenue M109R B.O.S.S.best motorcycles

If this bruise cruiser were a fashion plate, its balls would clang because it strode the landscape. That 109 within the name, by the way? It stands for cubic-inches. A refined however necessary distinction anyplace 'metric cruisers' square measure mockingly thought of disloyal. maybe that explains the Boulevard's tendency toward over-compensation. It's got aggressive, muscular bodywork with large slash-cut pipes and drag-style bars, hopped-up by a burly 1783cc liquid-cooled V-twin joined to a shaft-drive, 5-speed transmission. And equipped with the fattest rear tire within the phase, there square measure a lot of grips. you may appreciate its responsive handling and impeccably-designed saddle on long-distance rides. Dripping with perspective and also the muscle to back it up, the B.O.S.S. starts at $14,999. If you are desire a vehicle to point out off your standing, though, attempt driving one in all the ten status sedans that show who's boss.

Long moribund, the legendary Indian was revived as recently as 2011 by an equivalent company that brings U.S.A. triumph bikes. the first Springfield, Massachusetts company, once the most important manufacturer of motorcycles within the world, were the terrible definition—along with Harley-Davidson—of yank cycles till sputtering into oblivion in 1953. Enter the visionary of us at loadstar WHO recognized the worth of that heritage and also the growing charm of retro-inspired machines. praise to them for reliably rendering up to date Indians into competition with up-to-date engineering and technology matched to the brand's picture vogue. however, whereas the dramatic fender skirts, fairings, and luggage typical of classic Indians will appear excessive to some, the basic, rough-and-tumble Scout and Scout Sixty charm to less flamboyant tastes, like others on this list. the smallest amount dear bikes within the Indian lineup, these hooligans will rumble with the simplest, their responsive, high-revving engines parturition it down through a fine six-speed slushbox. The smaller displacement Sixty starts at $8,999 whereas the brawnier Scout goes for $11,299, each obtainable with ABS for an additional grand.

According to Harley's promotional copy: "Some worry concerning the corrupting influence of absolute power. we are saying hit the gas and provides it an attempt." currently that is a mantra we will embrace. The Muscle line may be a new iteration on the Porsche-engineered V-Rod, an associate outlier among the H-D family with its stout, precise 1250cc Revolution, V-twin liquid-cooled engine, Harley's 1st non-air-cooled unit. The low-slung, dragster-inspired long-distance encourages an untidy, stretched-out riding position within the best cruiser motorbike tradition. Its styling isn't everyone's bag, except for people who grasp, trust me, it'll flip heads. Like all Harleys, choices for individualizing square measures endless. Get one beginning at $17,449. you'll impart American state. after you need some power behind the wheel, however, attempt one in all the ten most powerful cars on the road.

Talk about culture mining. Honda, maker of conformist social science, Accords, and Pilots, at the side of outboard motors and prosaic generators, has the cojones to co-opt outlaw yank chopper culture of the Nineteen Sixties and '70s! what is a lot of, they force it off? That big, skinny, 21-inch front hoop wheel and 32-degree forks flow fantastically into that swoopy tank, channeling simple Rider. It's associate impressive, custom chopper look on a production cruiser motorbike. If you like one thing a small amount less rad and while not the ape-hangers, the nearly identical Stateline could also be the price tag. A discount at $9,999, with ABS a thousand-buck possibility, either model is concerning eight grand but a similarly-styled Harley Softtail flight. each Hondas return strapped to a powerful, torquey 1300cc V-twin. Killer appearance, standard. And if that does not flip you on to Honda, look at the Ridgeline, one in all the ten most baller, high playacting trucks of the year.

As the name implies, Kawasaki would have you ever believe the Vulcan Classic may be a thumping yank cruiser motorbike. And despite its Japanese lineage, they create a compelling case. Its tested fuel-injected 903cc V-twin delivers sleek roll-on power with a glorious fuel economy. Sporting a snug, easygoing riding position paired with classic touches like floorboards and a heel/toe shifter, you may rack up the miles. Big, burly, and planted, there'll invariably be an area for a cruiser motorbike just like the Vulcan 900. beginning at $7,999, low enough on the value spectrum to avoid wasting you some dough for one in all the seventeen most luxury analog bikes on the earth.

Eclipsed by its a lot of glam compatriots Aprilia and Ducati, idiosyncratic Moto Guzzi has been formation is own path since 1921 from the little Italian city of Mandello del Lario within the foothills of Alps. tho' not the prettiest bikes, these hand-built luxury machines possess a particular charm and feeling. The 1400 Custom is that the cruiser edition of the CA motorbike line, dropping the handbags and windscreen of the road model in favor of a sport saddle and drag bars, providing associate fittingly low-slung, nonchalant riding posture. From associate exceptionally long 38-degree telescopic fork rake to its uncommon transverse-mounted V-twin engine with cylinder heads that take away the tank, the CA is that the outcome of motorheads tuned into their frequency. The ride-by-wire throttle replaces mechanical property with package for preciseness engine mapping. Targeted to variable road conditions, elevation, and traction management, it helps keep its ninety-six horses and eighty-nine lb-ft of torsion optimized. Equipped with a half-dozen speed, shaft-drive transmission and a large array of accessories, the 2017 1400 Custom has associate MSRP of $18,490.

One of the world's premier motorbike names, Triumphs radiates with hard-line passion from a heritage engineered on over a hundred years of experience. And if the 1200cc comely float feels like it rolled off a film producer WWII flick set it's as a result of Triumph participated within the huge One. The float is freed from maneuver and stripped to its elementary essence, rather like it had been back within the day once fenders got cut for that 'bobbed' look. Since a float by definition is what one will to a stock bike, the inverted reality that this is often a production model could also be powerful to elucidate to your riding cohort. chances are high that it will not matter, though, once they feast their eyes on this attractive piece of art, 3 years in development. engineered expressly for the yank market, it's directly fashionable and classic, refined and badass. The word impressive applies here. A worth} at nearly any price, the float starts at associate come-at-able $11,900. If you are looking for one thing even as beastly, look at the ten SUVs to drive these days.

For those compelled by the province roundel, the freshly free K 1600 B, formally selected a road bike, is that the nighest you will get to a Beemer cruiser. however with its long, low silhouette, crazy-cool styling, unbelievable ride dynamics, and jaw-dropping 6-cylinder power, this cruiser motorbike a class all its own. a quick list of its extraordinary options embodies Dynamic, Road, and Rain riding modes, incorporating power and traction management. The dynamic electronic suspension offers Road or Cruise modes to perpetually change for driving conditions. Electronically adjusted seat and screen height, heated seats and grip . . . and also the list goes on, as well as a clutchless shifter, electrical reverse gear, hill begin the management, and keyless ignition. The one hundred sixty0cc motors deliver 160 power units for easy thrust at a flick of the gliding joint.

And for a lot of impressive moments from Reeves, look at the twenty best high-octane automobile chase of all time.

How much of the typical Cardassian upbringing was there in your childhood? People say that the Cardassians focus on training their chlidren to concentrate hard and so on, but you were not exactly a Cardassian child, plus the war plus I don't know what else. Were your parents more democratic with you?

First of all, I’d like to say that the common Federation (or maybe just Human?) perceptions of the Cardassian education system are very confusing to me. Yes, Cardassian schooling begins at a very young age, at 2 or 3 years. But this seems to be true in the Federation as well, you just call the first few years of it “pre-school” for some reason. Why is it that playing word games, solving logic puzzles, and memorizing nursery rhymes are called “brain teasers” or “cognitive development exercises” when Humans talk about their own teaching, but call the same types of activities “mind training” when talking about ours? Cardassian parents love their children dearly and want them to have the best opportunities they can possibly provide. And we want our children to grow up prepared to use their talents for the betterment of society, to make advancements in the sciences, in the arts, in politics, and so on. Is that so different from the Federation? And although I have heard some deeply troubling things about a few of the vocational institutes, in general Cardassian teaching methods are not nearly so harsh as those employed by, say, Vulcans. And the Federation clearly doesn’t object to their schools! I really don’t understand how neglecting to give me the best possible education would be the “democratic” thing to do.

... I apologize for losing my temper. You asked me a question because you want to understand my experiences, and your ignorance of my culture is largely a product of my people’s secrecy. It’s not your fault that we’ve both inherited a legacy of misunderstanding between our respective societies.

The biggest difference between my upbringing and that of a typical Cardassian child is how solitary and confined mine was. I was born on Terok Nor and lived there the majority of my childhood. It was a dangerous place-- even with Constable Odo doing his best to keep the peace, fights broke out frequently on the promenade and bomb threats were a regular occurrence-- so I was never allowed to go out and play. And even if I had been, there were rarely any other children there that I could have played with.

(One time, Father got the idea to bring some children from an orphanage on Bajor so I could have playmates. It was a disaster! Most of them were too frightened to do anything, and those that weren’t just got angry that I had so many fancy toys and books and sweets and fine clothes, when they had only worn hand-me-downs they all had to share.)

But educationally, during the early years of my life I was fortunate enough to receive the same advantages that any Cardassian from an upper class family would expect. There were (and perhaps still are) many who believed that children of mixed-species couples are mentally inferior and not worth educating, but Father was not one of them. If anything, he believed the opposite, so his expectations of me were very high. I had tutors that he brought from Cardassia Prime to teach me reading and writing, mathematics, sciences, history, and art. I even had a Bajoran tutor so I could learn to read and write my mother’s native language. That tutor also gave me lessons on the belaklavion, which I hated.

(In retrospect, I feel ashamed at having been such a brat about my music lessons. So many Bajoran families with a heritage of musicianship spanning generations or even centuries had to sell their antique instruments for food, or were forced into labor camps. In some cases people could even be arrested just for playing Bajoran classical or folk music, just like how vedeks were arrested for preaching. It’s just so cruelly unfair that while so many people were denied the right to their own music, I was granted a rare opportunity but all I did with it was rush through practicing so I could go draw tessellations or read a novel.)

So, in short (and thank you for being patient with my rambling explanation!), although my social and family circumstances and the environment in which I was raised were highly unusual, in Father’s view none of that altered his essential responsibility as a parent to provide for me to the best of his ability, nor should it affect the expectations placed upon me.

Of course, all of that changed after my mother and I boarded a freighter bound for Lissepia...

Chapter 1:

“Jim, no!”

Two words Jim had become most accustomed to hearing in their now almost four years in space. Also, the two words Jim had gotten very good at weaselling his way around.

As their fellow crew mates piled into the loading bay around them, Jim laid a gentle hand on his best friends shoulder, giving it a light squeeze before saying, “Bones, I don’t know what you're so worried about. We’re going from the ship to the planet’s surface, nothing is going to happen.”

“I already hate these flying metal death traps as it is, Jim, I don’t need the added headache of you on one of them alone.” Bones was near tomato red at the distress he felt in this argument, but Jim insisted it had to be this way. Didn’t mean bones had to like it.

“I won’t be alone, Bones,” he smiled at his friend, “I’ll have fourteen other cadets on board with me.”

Bones scoffed, turning away from Jim for a second before rounding on him again, “You mean fourteen fresh out of the academy cadets, who have no idea what they are doing, let alone what protocol is if something should happen! And I don’t see any of them in medical blues, so what good’ll that do ya?!”

“Bones!” Jim exclaimed, chuckling a little, “I don’t know what you're so worried about? What could possibly happen in the short distance from here to there?”

“Anything, Jim!” he threw his arms up, slapping them hard against his thighs, “Anything could happen in this god forsaken black nightmare! And if I'm not there to help you, who will?!”

Jim couldn’t help but laugh, “Bones, why did you ever apply for Starfleet?”

The doctor shook his head, he knew why, but it was the “who” that mattered in that equation. The “who” that kept him in line, that kept him focused, and who forced him to remain in the academy rather them turning tail and running for the hills like he had wanted to after his first flight simulation training. It was Jim, he was the reason why Leonard had made it this far. “Kid, I think you know exactly why I dragged my sorry ass all the way up here. Had a lot to do with an over adventurous and dangerously impulsive, sandy blond.”

“Awe, Bones, you're making me blush.”

He ignored Jim's comment as he continued, “Not to mention cocky, clumsy, accident prone-”

“Alright, alright, I get it,” he shook the doctors shoulder lightly, bringing his eyes back to look at his own, “even though nothing is going to happen, I promise to be careful. Now, you just get on the smaller ship with Spock, Ny, Sulu, and Chekov, and I’ll take the new cadets and meet you down there, okay?”

Bones furrowed his brows, still not happy with the outcome, but Jim was giving him no other option. “I don’t like this, Jim. I should be with you on that shuttle, just in case.” Jim only huffed a small sigh in response, “And why do you always have to be Mr. Fantastic? Let someone else take the kids alone, or at least let me come with you.”

Jim turned his best friend, then pulled him into his side with an arm around his shoulder, “Because it would be nice to have some words of wisdom and guidance coming from their captain. Going on your first ground mission is scary, Bones, I want to make sure that they know they can trust me and come to me for help if they are scared. And I can’t bring you along anyways. There’s a rumour going around amongst the younger cadets about a certain grumpy doctor with an arm full of hypos ready to attack. They’re afraid of you, Bones, having you there staring them down wont help their nerves.”

“My hypos are only for you.” Jim smiled at that. “But I guess you have a point.”

Jim walked Bones to the door of the smaller shuttle, waiting outside for Bones to step in before he turned back to look him in the eyes once again, “Don’t worry, Bones, we’ll be right beside you, it’ll be fine.”

“It better be,” he grumbled in typical Bones fashion, before clasping Jim on the shoulder, allowing his hand to linger for just a moment, then letting go as the door to the shuttle closed between them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the door to Bones’s shuttle were fully closed and sealed, Jim turned and made way for the larger shuttle to his left. The shuttle that held fourteen fresh and nervous cadets, probably not ready for their first ever ground mission.

Jim entered the shuttle, it was dead quiet, and every single cadet sat wide eyed and slightly pale in their seats. He knew it would be like this. Though the original crew of the enterprise was not given the luxury of a small and harmless field test, and were instead thrown into the crisis on Vulcan head first, he still expected nothing more then this.

“Cadet Velnium,” he announced as he made his way to the front of the shuttle.

“Aye, Captain!” A sharp looking young man stood quickly from his seat in a stiff salute to Jim, who smiled and shook him off.

“Take us down to the surface, Cadet, follow behind Commander Spock's shuttle to our right.”

“Aye, Captain!” the dark haired young man bounced past Jim and towards the helm, powering up the shuttle and waiting for the others to lead the way before following them out.

As the shuttle cruised out of the belly of the Enterprise, Jim stood before the rest of the cadets, they needed something to get them through and ease their minds.

“Cadets,” he began, all eyes instantly whipped up to meet his, “this is your first away mission, and I know you're all very nervous, but I have chosen one of the easiest missions the Enterprise has ever been sent on. So there is no need to be nervous. This planet has been previously visited by other federation ships in the past. If you’ve all read your mission statements, which I hope you have, you will have noted that the planets surface is non-hostile, with breathable oxygen, and no noted threats in the other ships logs. We are landing on the surface for approximately one hour to retrieve a handful of flora requested by the academy’s research department. Once we have acquired what we need, we will be returning to the Enterprise, mission completed. Any questions?”

The shuttle remained silent, all eyes still fixed on him at the front of the group.

He let go his most charming smile, making sure to give the cadets a second to take a breath and soak it all in before continuing, “Now, I know I'm your captain, but I don’t want that to intimidate you. Should you come into any trouble or have any questions at any time, I want you to feel comfortable enough to come to me with your concerns or suggestions. Here on the Enterprise we work as a team, as a family, and you are now a part of that. So, before we land, I would like you all to-”

Before he could finish the shuttle was violently jerked to the left and Jim was sent flying into the opposite wall. Alarms started going off all around them, the shuttle suddenly being covered in a glow of red, and the screams of the cadets filling his ears.

Jim instantly sprang into action, launching himself off the ground and planting himself in the seat beside his young pilot. He strapped himself in and commed the Enterprise, connecting Spock's shuttle to the call, “Kirk to Enterprise, we’re under attack, repeat, we are under attack and require immediate assistance. Do you copy?!”

Scotty’s voice rang clear through the shuttle, “Aye, Captain! We see ya!”

Spock's voice was the next to hit Jim's ears, before it was abruptly cut off by Bones screaming into the comm, “Jim, what the hell is going on?! Are you alright?!”

“I'm fine, Bones… for now.”

Jim's shuttle was hit again, this time hard enough to jostle them off path and away from the planets surface, “Shit!” he muttered as they took a third hit.

“Jim!” Bones was still screaming into the comm, Spock clearly having given up, “You're way off course, we’re coming around for you!”

“No!” Jim shouted this time, “You're close enough to the surface now and their ships are backing off your shuttle. Land on the surface and keep the crew safe, that’s an order.”

Jim rarely pulled the captain card with Bones, he hated to do it, but he knew if he didn’t Bones would make sure that shuttle was turned around and the entire crew would be in danger. It was bad enough that Jim's shuttle was taking fire, he didn’t need two shuttles caught in the middle.

“Jim-”

“Bones, listen to me, please,” the channel went silent, the cadets behind him went silent, but he didn’t care and continued pleading his case to his CMO, to his best friend, “Please keep the crew safe. Get them to the surface and when the Enterprise tells you its safe then head back to the ship. After that, when it’s all clear and you’re safe on the Enterprise, then you can come get me, Bones, but not until you’re safe.”

Jim felt like he was only talking to Bones now, not the rest of the crew, but Bones. Of course he cared about every single member of his crew, but he needed Bones to be safe, he needed him to be alive and well inside the walls of the ship. If he didn’t have at least that peace of mind, he wouldn’t make it through whatever he was about to face.

“Jim, I…”

“Spock!” If anyone would listen, it would be him.

“Aye, Captain,” came the oddly comforting monotone of the Vulcan, “I will assure that the Doctor is returned to the ship safely, you have my word, Jim.”

“Thank-you, Spock,” Jim’s shuttle was hit for a fourth time, sending them even further away from their ship, and with no where else to turn, they had no choice but to keep travelling in that exact direction, “Bones…”

“I'm here, Jim!” The two of them sounded almost hysterical now, but Jim knew he had to hold it together as best he could for the cadets behind him.

“Bones-”

“Jim!”

That was the last Jim heard from Bones or the Enterprise as their last hit knocked out all their comms. The only thing they could do was continue tying to outrun their attackers and hopefully find a safe planet to land on between here and there. The Enterprise was too far gone to help them now, and Jim had already made it clear that the shuttle containing the bridge crew and Bones was to be brought back on board before anything else was attempted.

Jim took a subtle, but calming breath, and plastered on a brave face for the young pilot beside him as he continued to try and get comms back up, “Cadet Velnium.”

“Aye, C-Captain,” came the shaky response.

“We’re going to try to out run them, or at least stay in front of them until I can find us a safe planet to land on. You can do this, you were top of your class in flight training, so if anyone can get us to safety it’s you. Just stay calm and focus on your task.”

The cadet gave Jim a brief nod, the shake in his hands becoming less visible as Jim's words of encouragement sunk in. Jim returned the nod and continued to work on the ships comms. Hopefully he could get something back up and running or else, if worse came to worse, the Enterprise would never find them, and Bones… he would never know what happened to him, and Jim wasn’t sure he could live with that guilt, even in death.

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you’re supposed to paste it in the asks of eight people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out. 💗💕

Thank you so much! I am very sorry this took me so long to answer, I was trying to hold on to the happiness it brings, but I think the best way to actually do that is to pass it on!

Day 2 - Frozen Lake

In which the crew of the Enterprise is a family and they take a winter trip together!

Their 5-year mission may have been over, but the friendship between the main bridge crew (plus Doctor McCoy, who was up there so often he might as well have been bridge crew) of The Enterprise . So when Scotty suggested they all meet up again, maybe even go on vacation together, plans for a winter trip took no time at all to put together. Even Spock had agreed, though no one was quite sure how the captain had managed to convince him. Even Kirk himself - he’d been expecting a far longer campaign of logical arguments. Apparently Vulcans enjoyed cuddles.

Unfortunately, Jim was held back to address something or another with Starfleet, so Spock stayed behind with him. Fortunately, they still got the log cabin the group had rented only a day after everyone else. They arrived at the cozy, cheerful-looking house with the sun bright and the snow glistening white.

“It looks like a postcard.”

“As postcards typically contain pictures of idealistic landscapes, it is logical that somewhere like this would.”

Chekov was sitting right by the window in a sweater, pajama pants, and slippers, arguing with Bones, wearing at least four layers of clothes and huddled next to the fire, about the weather. Uhura and Chapel fondly listened in while finalizing their plans of everything to do once Jim and Spock arrived.

“It’s just too cold here, it shouldn’t be allowed,” Bones was grumbling, “and stories of it being even colder in Russia don’t help!”

“Aye, lad, let up on him, you know what Georgia weather’s like.” Bones looked happier when Scotty came in, glad to have a defender, but Scotty continued with a teasing look in his eye. “Our poor Southern doctor just doesn’t have a proper appreciation for the snow, so I suggest we help him find one.”

“You traitor,” Bones pouted, but made room under his blanket pile for Scotty to cuddle all the same. Argument paused, Chekov turned to look out the window to see Jim and Spock walking up to the cabin. “They’re here!”

They all went to the door to say hi, the blanket pile coming with Bones.

Christine and Uhura were the most excited, as now they could all get started on their ultimate list of things to do. First up: ice skating.

The lake was small, in a forest clearing not too far from their cabin. Perfect for ice skating, with smooth, strong ice that wouldn’t crack. Uhura loved ice skating but hadn’t been able to often while on the mission. Since returning to Earth she and Christine went skating together once a month, though they switched between ice skating and rollerblading, so it was no surprise to anyone when those two flew around the lake, racing, spinning around, and leaving everyone else to figure it out - “after all, it’s not learning to skate if you don’t slip a few times.” Chekov, too, was no stranger to ice skating; though it was never his favorite, balancing at least came naturally. Sulu wasn’t bad either, even if he’d rather have been fencing. Still, he enjoyed the competition once Chekov suggested a race between those who could skate. No one could quite tell if Scotty could skate or not, because Leonard refused to let go of him, and he definitely couldn’t. It turns out, roller skating and ice skating don’t transfer, and Leonard hadn’t even done the first in years. The layers of jackets (he insisted it worked better than a “too technology-filled to be trusted” warming undershirt) that kept his arms sticking up didn’t help either. Monty was patient, slowly pulling Len step by step until they could skate around, still hand-in-hand but not because they needed it to skate anymore. Spock, despite not really knowing what ice skating was before this trip, managed to figure it out quickly, with only a few near-falls. That didn’t stop Jim from holding on to him “to keep him from falling.”

“What are the odds Jim just doesn’t know how to skate?” Bones wondered, watching them.

He’d intended only Monty to hear, but Chekov, racing near them, whispered, “Well, we can find out!” And proceeded to skate straight at Jim and Spock, yelling “watch out!” He managed to come to a quick stop before hitting them, but it was enough. Jim had already let go of Spock and promptly fell down, pulling one of Spock’s gloves off with him. “Sorry, Captain” Jim took the hand Chekov offered to help him up.

“Ah, it alright” -yank! Chekov went slipping down the lake into the snowbank on the shore, leaving Sulu to shake his head at Chekov but still go help him get out. “Turns out, sound really carries out here. I know you did that on purpose,” turning around to Bones and Scotty, “and I can skate, Bones! I just…” he trailed off, looking at Spock.

“It seems he was enjoying the physical contact I would not normally allow in public. The ice skating was mainly an excuse.”

“Well, when you put it that way… All right, yes I was.” Spock picked up his glove, but by now it was covered in powdery snow from the ground.

“Oh no, your hands’ll freeze now. Here, take mine.” Jim, noticing Spock’s missing glove, pulled one of his off and gave it to Spock. Spock merely raised an eyebrow, so Jim resorted to grabbing his hand to put it on for him. “As a Vulcan, I can control my feelings of cold -”

“Just let me take care of you, alright? Besides, there’s no place on Vulcan cold enough for snow regularly. Humans are built for this kind of weather, I’ll be fine.”

“Some humans are not built for this kind of weather,” Leonard whispered to Monty, “or I wouldn’t need so many jackets.” “Ah, I know just the solution for that! Let us skate faster. You’ll warm up right quick.” “Yeah, and break a bone while at it.”

Uhura skated up to them a moment before Christine, winning the race they’d been having before Chekov and Sulu abandoned it. Both had abandoned their hats and unwound their scarves, proving Scotty right. “Come on, Doc, if we all hold on to you you can’t fall,” Uhura held out a hand.

“No one’s breaking anything and if they do I’ll take care of them for you, alright?” Christine didn’t wait for an answer, grabbing Lenoard’s arm and starting to skate, along with Scotty and Uhura. Sulu and Chekov, the latter slightly dusted with snow, joined next, and Jim even pulled Spock into the group after a minute. While they were by no means going fast with that many people, the inside of the huddle was nice and warm, even when a light snow started falling.

Day 3 - Hot Chocolate

In which they debate over the best ways to drink hot chocolate

The storm was unexpected, but made a good excuse to turn up the fire, bring out the fuzzy blankets, and huddle up to tell stories with some warm drinks. Of course, this caused a debate over what was the best drink, but that was soon settled by everyone getting their own favorite. Nyota and Christine won in the end - they made a big batch of real hot chocolate and left it in a warming container, announcing they were happy to share. A few cups in, everyone (but Spock, of course, who had tea instead) had switched over to hot chocolate because the synthesized drinks just weren’t the same…but with some interesting additions. Bones accidentally took a sip out of Scotty’s mug instead and nearly spat it out, spluttering, “Is this a drink or a marshmallow goop?”

“Sorry Len,” Scotty laughed, taking the right mug off the table and switching them, “but marshmallow-filled hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate.”

“You know, Russians invented putting marshmallows in hot chocolate.” They all turned in surprise, for it was Sulu, not Chekov, making that claim. He smiled and shrugged, “I knew he was gonna say something like that - weren’t you, Pav?”

“Well, I was going to say that marshmallows were invented in Russia, but I think that that you are right, too.” But he grinned at his own joke, and soon they were all laughing.

“Do you want anything?” Jim asked Spock softly as he got up, having decided to refill his own mug of hot chocolate (with a normal amount of marshmallows, but also a candy cane stirrer).

“My tea has gone slightly cold. If you would not mind rewarming it, it would be fixed.” Jim reached out to take the mug, fingers brushing together as he did.

“Spock! Your hands are freezing!” Grabbing the mug, he knew why. “This is far beyond ‘slightly cold.’ I thought this tea is meant to be drunk nearly scorching?”

Raising his customary eyebrow, Spock pointed out “the mug is insulating, so although the outside feels cold, the contents are truly only slightly cold.”

“Well, that won’t do. You need a nice, warm mug to keep nice, warm hands. Or I can warm them for you.”

“A mug that lets all the heat bleed out is not logical. It would let the beverage become cold before I finished drinking it.”

Their friends, quite used to this sort of back-and-forth, all smiled at the predictably Spock-ish answer, and decided to help Jim. After all, they all wanted a reason for Spock to use the mug Nyota had optimistically packed for him. “It’s a human custom, Spock. We use hot mugs as hand warmers on cold nights, and people usually have favorite ones - even if it’s illogical.” As Uhura explained, McCoy held up his mug clutched between his hands. “See, like this. Feels really nice, and I bet it would for you, too, what with Vulcan being a desert planet and all.”

“How ‘bout I transfer your tea into your mug and warm it up, then if you dislike it I’ll pour it back for you,” Jim suggested. Spock acquiesced, mainly wanting the debate to finish quicker so he could get his warm tea back. When Jim returned with the mug of tea and gave it to Spock, he held it between his hands like McCoy had shown him.

“I must admit, there is a certain sense of relaxation associated with the warmth of the mug on my hands.” So, it feels good. They all understood the meaning, but let Spock keep his Vulcan logic.

When the trip was over, he asked Nyota if he could keep the mug.

“Well of course you can! I’d hoped you would want it, it’s the perfect mug for you.”

“Thank you.” And so an inefficient, conductive, undoubtedly human mug, white with a black cat sleeping on the side, joined Spock’s belongings.

Day 1 - Baking

In which Jim and Amanda tag-team Spock into decorating cookies with them. From this prompt list, and my first finished fic!

Spock raised an eyebrow as he entered the kitchen to see the array of mixing bowls and ingredients Jim and his mother had set out. “Has something happened to the replicators?”

Jim paused his stirring to look up at Spock “It’s a human tradition, Spock, to bake cookies with your family around holidays. With me being on the ship and Amanda being on Vulcan, neither of us has had much chance these last few years. Does this look ready to roll out?” he added, turning to Amanda.

Glancing at the padd between them, she replied “That seems correct, as long as you don’t want to add any more flavoring.”

Jim tasted a bite before nodding and beginning to roll out the dough. Spock watched him for a moment, then walked over to read the padd. “Is it not illogical to make changes to a recipe that you have chosen to use?”

“Cooking is an art as much of a science, Spock. Much like music, and I seem to recall you making changes to songs every time you picked up that lyre as a child.” Amanda pointedly looked toward the closet where said lyre remained on a shelf, even after all these years.

“That is…” Spock tilted his head, conceding, “logical, I suppose.” Before he could turn to leave, Jim asked him to join, with Amanda pointing out the logic when Spock didn’t answer.

“After all, the tradition is to bake with family, and we’re on leave so you shouldn’t have that much work to do.”

Having no argument, or likely not wanting much to argue, Spock agreed to join. “There is one problem. The number of cookies you have already made appears to be more than sufficient, and I would not want to start any more.”

Amanda and Jim both paused what they were doing, turned to look at each other, and grinned. “You can start frosting!” Jim announced.

“I’ve already made multiple colors of frosting and the cooled trays are on the counter. The decorations can be anything you think of”

Spock collected the frosting and moved to the counter, but hesitated, unsure if there was a proper procedure to this. “Just pattern them however you fe- think looks nice” Jim called, noticing his hesitation. Picking up an icing bag, Spock started piping. Jim watched him for a few moments, glad to see him relax, before remembering his dough and starting to cut out increasingly abstractly shaped cookies as he kept looking up to watch Spock. Spock may have been the neatest person Jim knew, but even he wasn’t immune to getting smears of frosting in his hair and sleeves. Jim and Amanda agreed with a single look not to tell him because it was adorable.

Just as the last cookies were out of the oven, Sarek finally returned home, being the only one not off work that day. Looking around the room, seemingly counting the numerous trays of cookies scattered around, he seemed to understand. “A Terran tradition, if I recall correctly.” Walking over to stand next to Amanda, he held out his fingers, continuing, “It is good for you to have another human to share these things with. And,” he turned to Spock, “Logical for you to now learn about your human heritage as well.”

Jim and Amanda both turned to smile at their partners, knowing hugs wouldn’t be very welcome. And if the corners of Spock’s (and maybe even Sarek’s) mouth turned up the slightest bit - well, no one mentioned it.

Adira’s Wolf Moon Review - Eng.

Adira's Wolf Moon is a postmodern fantasy saga written by Melina Lema (mel-mellow.tumblr) between 2012 and 2015 (Well, as far as I know). It took concepts and references from a work team of which I was part at a time called La Tríada, founded in 2011 under the name Escritoras Jr. and with an unknown dissolution. In other words, I quitted from my position in La Tríada after having reached Chapter 4 of my personal work called Libro 19, a remastering of the Silver Warriors saga. But that is the subject for another article.

I had the unique opportunity to have a closer look (and my own experience) of the EXHAUSTIVE work to which a person is exposed when saying "I want to write a book". It is a chaotic universe full of corrections, details, worldviews and argumentative debates.

This work begins fully by embarking us on the Germany of 2010 with a grumpy lycanthrope named Adira, the protagonist of our story and first-person narrator of the events. Just a couple of lines below we are presented with her literal and immediate Antithesis: Gloomerly. From the very first moment this story makes an excellent and clever nod to general culture, creating a bizarre friendship between the most estranged characters in the history of fantasy literature. A werewolf and a vampire looking for adventure? It's an arc that cannot fail!

The diversity of characters began in sort of a shaky way, pointing towards the least expected regarding to the typical argumentative plot in a juvenile genre. Alexander and Marcus, with their appearance and prominence in the first chapters give freshness and credibility to the first book. Personally I liked that resource of breaking with the typical group of stereotyped teenagers. The tall, the short, the cute, the ugly, the funny, the dark. By the time this work was written (2011), juvenile novels were having a hard time being involved in so many empty stereotypes to attract teenagers and make them spend money on books. In fact, The Simpsons knew how to explain very well the anti-creative and marketing process of a standardized book in Chapter 492 of its Season 23, The Book Job. Highly recommended.

The personality profiles have so many tones, such depth of parallel stories that really play a lot with the plausibility of the characters. Did Lily exist in real life? Has Christian been inspired by someone the author actually knew?

And this is when the plot begins to tremble a lil' bit about its root concept: The chapters pass and we continue to be introduced to more and more characters, one more beautiful than the other. The Fifth Problem with their rock band Heir, Los Leyendas, all the cast from La Universidad. From here, there, from one country, another ... And Adira is somehow overshadowed by being surrounded with such strong personalities. Her character as a main is not exactly "nice" for the reader, but the author makes up for it very well with a solid origin story that positions us entering Phase # 3 on the path of a hero: The Rectification. (If you want to know the phases of the Path of a Hero according to the composition of La Tríada, comment and I will make a separate article). Adira is popularly known by her enemies as The Girl of a Thousand Lives, I give the plot extra points for the epic name of legend that I love. That popular nickname is due to her ability to preserve her memories and acquired knowledge despite dying over and over again in tragic wars or conflicts.

The rectification in Adira's back story is precisely this odd turn in her way of behaving and the construction of her person outside the war machine that she has forced herself to be one life after another. Meeting Gloomerly, then starting a herd -or family?- along with the rest of the Toledo's, having real friends at the University and the return of David (her only relevant romantic interest), etc.; All these are isolated events that force this rude protagonist to expose herself, to become human, to leave her comfort zone and socialize, to get closer in some way to her condition as a human being and that is precisely what brings us chapter after chapter to see what else there will be. How immersive this universe is and how far Adira is willing to go around this modern world in which she doesn't fit at all. Along with her humanity comes the climax of unraveling the mysterious and important cause for which she and many other werewolf herds fight.

Regarding the great revelation of Azrethar: The matter of the magical portals to explain the passage from one world to the other seemed to me a somewhat hasty decision that left loose a plot arc in the story that is key: Where do all these fantastic beings come from?

This also leads me to a conceptual crack that as an author (and ex former counselor?) I noticed: That is Magic in the Adira universe. Compared to the rest of the great concepts that the novel itself had been working on, this matter of "magic for magic's sake" could have been worked from a slightly more Rowlingnian perspective: Give magic a method and it will come to life by itself, all along. Humans love the feeling of being able to achieve everything if they somehow "automate" it, "methodize" it. It gives it truthfulness. Adira's universe presents us with plenty of tools to exploit this matter of magic in an inexhaustible way and unfortunately it always leaves us wanting a little more. Marcus's powers, Lesthia Academy, Samuel's relationship with dragons, Alexander's mere existence ... And even once inside Azrethar, we walk through the portal and expect to see magic around every corner when ACTUALLY the plot is exploited through racial species. This is a colorful and very useful resource especially because all The University Cast came from there. And yet there they leave us wanting more.

Once in Azrethar, the languages, the continents, the peoples, the kingdoms are presented to us in an overwhelming and -in my opinion- not very organic way. When we turn to Adira's Crescent Moon or Adira: Luna Menguante we hope that those questions so magnetically attractive that one asks as a reader will be answered. Who are the Vulcas? If there's a kingdom of fireproof and sexually active millionaire vampires there should be water vampires somewhere on the continent, or earth-type vampires. And if there is a vampire kingdom, will the kingdom of Tumma be the werewolf kingdom?

Finally, Adira's universe and sex. Maybe it's because we were very young when we wrote about such adult characters and in plots that involved contexts that we never lived in until by that time, but the lack of sex takes away the depth of the characters a little bit. One of the main problems (I include myself very hard) when writing during puberty -or teenage writing- is the lack of approach towards sex. Victim of the time, in the novel the hues lack diversity. I mean, it was 2011 and that demi-feminist sexual revolution had not yet arrived and we only have Ryan and Darren as the only representatives of the LGBTQ community. Simply put, Azrethar is way too big to be that heterosexual. The lack of sexuality in a fantasy world that is governed by cultural diversity is an almost Tolkian mistake but completely admissible and real.

In conclusion, the triggers are exceptional and they are all very well worked. The key to giving the story a proper cliff hanger by a "next generation" we are introduced to is the creation of Thamer. Thamer is perhaps the only one in the entire Adira universe who will be able to tell the story as it's being handed down to us and, as the eldest of a herd of little children whose parents will be legends. I mean, Melissa's twins, then Styx, the exaggerated but valid litter of twelve heirs to the Vulcan kingdom of Atsil ... They all give us hope that the story will continue along with its growth and expansion. And honestly, I look forward to it.

The Camiguin Island Experience!

Have you ever been to Camiguin Island? Are you planning to go to Camiguin Islands? If yes you make a good decision where you will go on vacation because I have already been to Camiguin Island and there are many places to go there. My deceased grandfather lived on Camiguin Island so we went to many places where he used to go. I already know the place a bit and we also had a vacation in 2017 with my cousins and my uncle is the most memorable because it was my birthday when we went and lived in my grandfather's brother's house for five days. About the flight to Camiguin first is if you do not have private transportation you first go to the bus terminal on the bus ride to balingwan more than 3 hours before arrival also depends on the flight time if you travel early you can get there easier because there is no traffic when you arrive at the balingwan you will take the ferry to Camiguin island you will arrive in more than an hour and if you have a car you can take your car on the barge to the island if you ask me about transportation it is easier if you have your car with you because when you arrive on the island there are not much transportation services there but you can rent a car before you go to Camiguin but if you don't have your car it is still a good decision to use public transportation go to Camiguin.

My last trip to camiguin in 2017 and my experience on Camiguin Island was a great place for my family and me to relax. “Island Born of Fire” is a perfect title for one of the most beautiful destinations in the Philippines Camiguin Island. The remnants of its volcanic eruptions shaped it into the beauty that it is today. Camiguin is an island province in the middle of the Bohol Sea, 100 kilometers north of Cagayan de Oro City in Misamis Oriental. For a small island that only measures 92 square miles, there are plenty of Camiguin tourist spots that you can visit.

The island is blessed with several gorgeous beaches, waterfalls, hot springs, cold springs, and the sweetest Lanzones fruit in the Philippines. Camiguin is famous for its tourist spots like White Island, Mantigue Island, Mount Hibok-Hibok, and the recently-declared National Heritage Sites; the Bonbon Church Ruins, and the Sunken Cemetery. Although a booming tourist destination, Camiguin Island maintains its rural charm. Mostly because of the locals who participate in preserving the natural beauty and heritage of their island. Take note of these top tourist spots and things to do when planning your Camiguin island itinerary. One of these is White Island every beach lover’s dream it has white sand surrounded by crystal clear waters and colorful underwater scenery. The island is technically a sandbar, and so it is easily shifted by changing tides and the movement of sea currents. White Island changes shape throughout the year.It is also good to note that White Island disappears during high tide. So, make sure to ask locals about the tide schedule before renting a boat to go there. You can lounge by the shore and enjoy the panoramic view of Mount Hibok-Hibok from a distance, go swimming in the shallow waters, or have fun snorkeling. The shape-shifting White Island can be found off the northern coast of Mambajao, Camiguin.To get there from Mambajao proper, you can hire a habal-habal (motorcycle) or get on a tricycle to Barangay Yumbing and asked to be dropped near Paras Beach Resort. You’ll find the boat rentals beside the resort. You’ll also have to pay an environmental fee. Sunken Cemetery Camiguin is also home to unique tourist spots like the Sunken Cemetery that has helped place this small island province in the list of rising travel destinations in the country.The Sunken Cemetery has since stood as an eerie reminder of Camiguin Island’s violent past. The eruption of Mount Vulcan in 1871, the same one that destroyed the Old Bonbon Church, also submerged the coastal area of Catarman. A big cross was erected in 1982 to mark the location. Beneath the surface, the tombstones have become an unlikely home to a variety of fish and Giant clams, making the Sunken Cemetery a unique diving and snorkeling site.To get to Barangay Bonbon in Catarman, ride a multicab from Mambajao or rent a habal-habal. Instruct the driver to drop you off at the site of the sunken cemetery. You can also ride a boat to get a closer look at the cross and snorkel to see the tombstones underwater. Unlike White Island which is purely a sandbar, Mantigue Island has a small patch of forest surrounded by white sand beaches and turquoise water a beautiful sight on its own. If that isn’t enough to wow you, know that Mantigue Island hides its best features underwater. Mantigue Island stands proudly in the middle of a protected marine sanctuary. Fishing is prohibited here, and as you can imagine marine life is thriving. This humble 4-acre islet is perfect for tourists who love snorkeling or diving. Head out to Mantigue Island. Dive into the depths and feast your eyes on the rich and vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine ecosystem. To get to Mantigue Island, ride a tricycle from Benoni Port at Mahinog all the way to Barangay San Roque where the boat station to the island is. There is an environmental and snorkeling fee. Another tourist spot is the Mount Hibok-Hibok and its surrounding attractions are on the top of the list of every avid hiker aiming to explore Camiguin. The pristine forest surrounding Mount Hibok-Hibok, officially known as Mount Timpong Mount Hibok-Hibok Natural Monument, is declared as an ASEAN Heritage Park. As a result, Mt. Hibok-Hibok, while well-explored, remains immaculate. At the foot of this imposing volcano lie several springs and lagoons that make the perfect post-climb reward. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned hiker, Mt. Hibok-Hibok is a must-climb. It’s a beginner-friendly trek that is still challenging enough as a day-hike. An active stratovolcano with an elevation of 1,332 meters above sea level (MASL) climbing the peak of Mt. Hibok-Hibok typically takes 3-4 hours. Jumping off at Ardent Hot Springs in Mambajao, expect a steep trail ahead. Thankfully, the scenery becomes more beautiful with every step. The trail is teeming with ferns, mosses, pitcher plants, and other bushes you’ll never find in your backyard; so, take your time to appreciate the lush greenery. When you reach the peak, you will be greeted by the view of the mossy crater of the volcano, and a full 360 of Camiguin Island. Take in the view, and then snap a photo as a remembrance. To climb Mt. Hibok-Hibok, you’ll need to secure a permit and an accredited guide by the Mambajao DENR Office. From DENR, hire a habal-habal to take you to Ardent Hot Spring. Get Refreshed at Katibawasan Falls Tucked at the foot of Mount Timpoong, Katibawasan Falls is the most visited waterfalls in Camiguin. The mere sight of it will take your breath away. This 250-meter high waterfall cascades from a cliff covered with lush wild ferns and drops into a small waist-deep basin of clear and cold water. Secondly, it is highly maintained by the local government and easily accessible to the public. Despite its popularity, Katibawasan Falls keeps its natural charm thanks to its untouched flora. Surrounded by various species of orchids, tropical trees, and giant ferns, Katibawasan Falls is the perfect oasis for every travel-worn tourist. You can rent a habal-habal from Mambajao to take you to Katibawasan Falls.

The last place we went before we went home to Cagayan de Oro City was the Camiguin cemetery and the famous old church where many of us discovered historical facts about why the old church looked like that and I feel the tragic event in the church and lastly, we took a lot of pictures there you know as a Filipino we immediately post those pictures on Facebook. We got tired when we got home but it was worth it especially the reason why we went there is to visit our relatives and to see the beautiful Camiguin Island with my family. We went home with a smile on our faces and we told each other that we will come back to the Camiguin islands because who would not miss the beautiful place and hospitality of the people there. For all of you who want to relax and go to Instagramable places, Camiguin Island offers the best vacation experience for you and your family.

Not a logical intervention - part 2

A/N Meant to be a short long fic being oms reunion but since tonight the Orville was coming on tonight, I had to split it up into parts. The first part had to be posted. (and the first part written) It was minutes before the Orville’s newest episode started airing. . . So here I go, making a fix it fic!

“Here is your temporary quarters, Ambassador,” George said. “the quarter master will come in to give you some Vulcan decent clothes in the next five minutes. You look like you didn’t come with anything so consider this the captain’s parting gifts.”

“Tell your captain that he has sound logic,” Spock said, then he walked forward into the room.

“Don’t mind if I do,” George said, pleased.

The quarters were familiar yet a little different to the Vulcan. The doors had closed behind him with a soft woosh. The colorful scenery stood out to the Vulcan. He warily looked over in the direction of the computer stationed on the desk. The room held no forms of comfort for the elder. No sign that someone once lived in there. Spock briefly closed his eyes with a heavy heart then reopened them to see the vastness of space. He approached the large windows watching it pass the ship. A familiar, nostalgic sight. Spock’s shoulders shrank with a depressed sigh. Sure, for being a member of the diplomatic corps, he had a knack for bringing as few things as possible. Which is why he barely had anything with him except for the clothes on his back including the ones inside the duffle bag back in the future. The meditation mat that was left behind. All he had was a photograph and his holo-emitter.

Spock unzipped his coat then slid it off placing it onto the chair across from him.

He slipped out a large photograph from his coat sleeve pocket. It had a extra layer in the sleeves that made one assume that he hid it within his sleeve when in reality, the ambassador had hidden it inside a pocket. He left the object onto the counter alongside him. There was enough room in the well lit cabin to perform meditation to collect his thoughts. He had annihilated a entire species. And he was still alive to talk about it. He promised them that everything would be all right. He promised. His trembling hands were having difficulty remaining steady. His emotional control was falling to shreds. Meditation had helped him in the worse of his emotional half. Trying to save the planet and he willfully aided in its destruction. A sun that went supernova too soon. He sat down onto the rug beside the counter.

He looked over toward the photograph of his deceased crewmates.

Spock shook his head in shame. Spock closed his eyes cupping his hands together into his lap. He cleared his mind then slowly submerged himself into his typical meditation routine. His fingers stopped trembling. His demeanor changed from the most vulnerable, emotional state to a calm, relaxed aged Vulcan. The doors opened behind him. A young man looked over toward the Vulcan then placed the outfit onto the counter. His mind slowly put together a elaborate plan to handle the oncoming future. He could always take two short cuts. The guardian of forever or slingshotting around the sun. Kaiidth. Perhaps he had been in the ancient hall of thoughts before applying for it while making his will. A stable time loop. Perhaps he applied under a different name to make it not as confusing with his younger self. His younger self might be different now that he has arrived.

Only Surak would know if he had done any damage with his bondmates future. The Kirk family would remain alive and well. Spock listened to the man’s heavy footsteps walking out of the cabin. The Vulcan seemed to be visibly relaxed by his meditation. He used the counter as his support to help himself up. He slowly strolled in the direction of the outfits. They were unique for visiting Earth. He felt the warmthness of the freshly cleaned attire. A warmth that he once held in his youth. A warmth that he once cherished and loved. A warmth that he had accepted he would outlive. Just not in the chain of events that had happened between him and his T’hy’la. Spock reeled himself back gaining control over his emotional half. Spock rubbed his shoulder visualizing his husband. Holding him within his arms in bed. His curly graying hair face planted by the Vulcan. He can still feel the man’s hair against his face. Hands wrapped around the younger man’s stomach.

A painful reminder of what he had lost. Warmth to the Vulcan’s fingertips reminded Spock of who he had lost. It was so long ago. He thumbed through the attire selecting what his next attire should be in the morning. The Vulcan hadn’t been happy. Not since McCoy left the plane of the living. His dearest, cherished friend. Someone he enjoyed arguing within their mind-skype (as the dear doctor liked to call it) realm. Someone Kirk and Spock courted at the same time only for the offer to rejected because 1) Not ready, 2) Over his dead body, 3) He doesn’t need another telepath invading his brain twenty-four-seven. But Spock knew they were all excuses. They were almost there when Jim vanished from Spock’s life. Jim would say that they were there but they hadn’t gotten the ceremony ironed out. Spock believed McCoy was scared or either stalling because he was suffering from ‘Am-I-cramping-up-their-marriage?’ angst. A familiar one seen typically in interspecies Andorian marriages.

The other members of the bridge crew, the remaining ones, stuck around for a few years before falling flat into the grim reapers arms in a domino effect after the fateful transporter incident that took Jim away in the late 2370′s. Spock glanced over toward the photograph. He can hear their insistence and reassurances regarding the matter. Spock took off the holo-emitter from around his neck then hit the side button. The holo-emitter, well worn and aged, began to play a old man singing. He missed his husband. There was a small throb in his heart and numb aching in his mind. A healed broken bond that could be repaired at any moments notice. Spock wiped away a tear that formed at the edges of his eyes. One day he would join his crewmates, his family. The holo-emitter deactivated and back it went around his neck. Spock saw a box across from him. He approached the box. It was a puzzle box.

It was decided.

He needed to put this puzzle together.

Spock always did like a good challenge.

1-10 on the poly meme for you, Spock and Kirk? :D - benobiships

@benobiships DUDE YOU’RE THE BEST FWJFHEWJK

1. A large spider has gotten into the house/apartment. How does each person react?

I panic. I try really hard not to panic but I do. A little bit. Spock is like cool I’m gonna take this outside and just. Super chill. Kirk is also willing to take the spider outside. I guess there’s not really…an outside on the ship…but anyway…Kirk will DEFINITELY tease me about my reaction while Spock looks mildly exasperated because it is not logical to be afraid of a spider.2. What are their sleeping arrangements? Do they get multiple mattresses, several rooms? Line a floor with mattresses and then make the entire room a bed? Who are the blanket hoggers? The ones who flail?

Well normally on the ship we typically all sleep in our own rooms ;w; it’s important to get enough sleep to be ready for danger and emergencies!!! Those beds barely fit one anyway…

But on shore leave!!! We make sure to get a big bed and sleep together :D we tend to take turns with who is in the middle, although if we want the best sleep we let Spock be in the middle as he’s literally motionless when he slepts. I flip flop a lot (AND STEAL BLANKETS WEHJFJEK but Spock has an Iron Grip) and Kirk moves a little bit too (though not as much as me fjkHFEJEHWJ).3. How do they celebrate the holidays? What are the favorite holidays in the household for each person? Are there ever any disagreements about which holiday is the best? Do any of them go all out with decorations and participation in events? Does anyone ever suffer in silent agony that they’re being forced into holiday sweaters or fed too many holiday foods, but out of love they keep their mouth shut?

Spock is the one who suffers most of the time with our shenanigans around holidays lol (he secretly doesn’t mind, as per usual, except if heavy drinking is involved, which it usually isn’t). Kirk doesn’t get as excited as I do, but he really enjoys participating anyway! Halloween, for example!!!

And of course I ask them to celebrate Jewish holidays with me like Hanukkah and Passover and they do that with me. Spock celebrated them a little growing up with a Jewish mother. Kirk doesn’t know that much about Judaism but he’s very earnest in learning which is amazing.4. How do they all keep house? Do they assign chores, and if so, does anyone ever slack? Does anyone ever say, “let’s clean” and (most?) everyone suddenly hops off the furniture and pitches in?

Ah well normally the ship you keep your own space clean I guess…?

If we all lived together somewhere though! We’re all uh you know Star Fleet which is a military so we’re all very punctual about doing the chores that we have assigned on a rotation FHEWKHFW force of habit honestly!5. Something contagious is going around! How will each of them handle being sick? Who are the ones who insist on working even when they’re not well? Who are the ones who stay away when they’re healthy? The ones who play nurse?

I wrote a bit about this once! Kirk 100% tries to work regardless, until Bones puts him in his place. Spock and I try but it really takes the good doctor to convince him 😛 followed by “SEE? I TOLD YOU!” Spock and I will go and visit him to keep him company when we can though, and usually give updates about the ship (he just gets so anxious when he’s out of commission you know).

Spock doesn’t get sick often - he’s the kind to isolate himself because his Vulcan immune system is much stronger than ours, so whatever he’s experiencing would be way worse for us. If it’s an emergency though he’s also the kind to consider working anyway. He doesn’t really let us play nurse? We would both like to visit him but he doesn’t let us. I use the bond to check in on him and send good vibes and remind him to eat and stuff though.

I try to work! But Kirk and Spock won’t let me. And they’re right. But then there’s that hypocritical factor, Jim! But I end up listening anyway. They both like to baby me when I’m sick, though Kirk has to resist because it’s much worse when he gets sick. Spock will be close to me though because he doesn’t expect a human sickness to hit him very hard, if at all. He’ll make sure I have food and tea (Vulcan sickness remedies? :D) and a blanky and stuff.

6. The mess that is deciding where to eat out and what to order.

Again not relevant on the ship bUT SHORE LEAVE

Spock is pretty not picky about food, because that’s the Vulcan Thing ™. Kirk just wants to be able to eat something delicious, he’s often not too picky on what that is, though he’s usually the one to look up reviews. I have opinions and usually end up making the final call on where we go.7. One or more of them comes across a stray animal. How do the family members each react? Who tries to find the previous owner? Does anyone want the others to mind their own business? Do they end up keeping it?

I feel like I am the most likely to want to keep it…I think Spock would take an animal in if it was hurt or needed help but with the goal of releasing it again. Kirk would be kind of nervous and unhappy about it because the ship’s routine might get weird if there’s an additional animal on ship? And remember the tribbles??? Kirk does! And of course then how would the original owner find it if we took it on our ship…

I think in the end we’d treat it, try to find the previous owner, and probably have to leave it either way,,,8. They take a trip to the zoo. What is each person’s favorite animal, and who gets excited about seeing theirs? Who downplays it? Who is willing to wait while the other drags everyone off to their favorite animals, and who tries to tell everyone they’re going to stick to the set path from beginning to end, and everyone will get to see their favorites soon so calm down?

I think Spock is probably extra fascinated by fish and ocean dwelling creatures. Vulcan is a desert, and so the ocean was a foreign concept before Earth, so I bet he’d just be massively intrigued! Especially the deep sea stuff.

Kirk likes birds! They’re so PRETTY and COLORFUL and free. And there’s so many!

What do I like…FWJKW foxes and wolves are my faves! I get excited about most predators probably. Honestly I really enjoy seeing the other two get excited or interested about things so I’m super willing to go wherever they want!

I do like to stick to the path order that I have in my mind though. Spock is also like that, he wants a path to make sure we don’t miss anything. Kirk could go either way, but seeing both of us look at him like it’s OBVIOUS where we’re going next when we asks cracks him up but also makes him sigh dramatically a little bit, lol. Oh, the science officers…9. Describe everyone going on a camping trip. Who enjoys it? Which one(s) set up the tent? Who would get lost in the woods but is only a few feet away from a gas station?

We actually became a poly relationship on a camping trip!!!

We all set up the tent because we’re Disciplined Star Fleet People ™ and we’re trained to know how to do that lol. We all enjoy it a lot, actually. For Kirk, it’s a break from the stress of the captainship, and he’s out in a place with us where he can just be himself and be vulnerable and that’s okay! We love and support him. And he also just enjoys the outdoors for their own sake (at least, until he gets homesick for space and the Enterprise).

Spock has a similar thing - it’s quiet, and away from people, so he can relax his guard, like his mental shields, and he can even let little emotions play out on his face. He can just be comfortable, and enjoy nature.

I just like to spend time with them and see them happy. And it’s really fun to sit around and reminisce and eat together and just!!! Do things together.10. Who tells the ghost stories or watches the ghost stories, and who are the ones who need a cuddle sandwich to get through the night every time they encounter anything the least bit spooky?

Hahaha I can’t…spooky stories…it’s me…catch Spock like “Wendy it’s illogical to be afraid of these things” and I’m like I know and yet here we are. He’s patient with me despite the mock exasperation. Kirk actually enjoys the adrenaline from scary things!!! But he’s able to sleep fine. Well, normally people scary things. Scary things about the Enterprise and her crew? Fuck no, can’t sleep, very little will console him.

THANKS BEN THAT WAS SO MANY!!!
