(Hey! I've missed a lot of post deadlines. But I'm going to post something as soon as possible. Hopefully I can get on a schedule that I can keep.)
I've been reading hero/villain stuff recently, and am obsessed with possesive hero, and flustered villain. This is the result.
Discovery
TW: contemplation/acceptance of imminent death(NOT SUICIDAL)l,
"What the hell is taking them so long?" Villain paced in front of their doomsday weapon, cape flowing dramatically out behind them. "I could have used the machine ten times already in this wait! What could possibly be taking them this long?"
"You're being dramatic." Henchman called from behind the machine, from where they stood with the rest of the crew. "They'll be here soon."
There were crashes, then five familiar faces landed in front of Villain. The hero team. They were finally here.
"Took you long enough." Villain drawled, pulling out their tablet. "Hero Team, I'd like to introduce you to your doom." Villain gestured to their machine. "This is a machine that is designed to seek out everyone you love and care about and obliterate them, and then destroy you." Villain types something into their tablet. "Why don't we start with you, Hero?"
With a press of a button on their gauntlet, Villain triggered the robots to keep the heroes busy while they imputed Hero's name into the tablet. The machine began to hum as it's power-up sequence began. "It's working." Villain gloated as the barrel of the machine began to move. "Hero, say goodbye to all those you love-"
The barrel of the gun swung around and smacked Villain in the face, cutting them off and knocking them to the ground. The tablet skidded out of reach as Villain landed on their ass on the ground. Then the barrel of the weapon swung around to point at them.
Villain couldn't do anything but stare down the barrel of their own machine in shock and confusion. They could see the inner barrel starting to glow as the machine prepared to fire. I'm going to die, they thought.
A hand grabbed the back of their cape and dragged them out of the way just as the machine fired, the bolt of energy missing them by centimeters. Villain screamed, covering their face as fragments of rock plummeted them from the explosion.
"Are you okay?" Hero's voice rang in their ear. Villain turned to stare at the other in confusion.
"You." They pointed at Hero. "Love me." They point to themselves. "Me. Your enemy."
"Shut up." Hero muttered. "Just shut up."
"You know what, no." Villain snapped, growing angry. "I'm not going to shut up. I want to know if you really love me, of if my machine is broken."
"You're machine is broken." Hero picked up the tablet and began pressing random buttons on it. "How exactly does this thing work?"
"My machine is not broken." Villain grabbed for the tablet. "Give me the tablet."
"No, fuck you." Hero slapped their hands away, then pressed a button. The machine powered down.
"Dammit," Villain muttered. "I really should not have made that one so obvious."
"Thank you for doing so." Hero dropped the tablet, then grabbed Villain. "And now, you've been caught."
The rest of the hero team approached warily as Hero locked the cuffs around Villain's wrists. "Hero?" Superhero asked. "Is there anything you want to tell us?"
"Do you need help?" Other Hero reached out to grab Villain. "We could take them, and you-"
"No, it's alright." Hero shifted Villain away from the others. "I've got it."
"Are you sure?" Superhero asked. "Because what just happened would shake anybody up-"
"I said I got it!" Hero snapped as they dragged Villain towards the door to the warehouse. Out to where the press were waiting to pounce, leaving behind a group of concerned heroes.
(Not as long as my first post, but y'know, maybe that's a good thing.
if anyone's interested in a part 2, I may have it drafted. Partially.)

Arch Enemy - Nemesis
Up early to get work done on the cars. Found an old mix cd from the high school days. Starting off strong with some nostalgia.

I was just talking to my wife about the original series of Star Trek the other day. I was trying to explain (poorly, I'm afraid) that even though it lacks the overarching story of the later series, what it does have is consistent exploration of multidimensional characters. In many ways, the characters of Star Trek are the story, more than the various plot points of each episode. How they react, the things they prioritize, and the people they care about become the central core of what makes it a great show, even today. Without this depth of character, Star Trek would not be Star Trek.
And that being said, it makes me terribly happy to see "The Doomsday Machine" make that list of recommended episodes. For so many reasons, not the least of which is some very compelling character work by all concerned, that will always be a favorite of mine and still stands today as one of television's finest hours.
I finished my first ever watch of Star Trek: The Original Series last night and wow, what a journey.
I’ve loved all the Trek I’ve watched before, but for years I avoided TOS. I had watched a handful of episodes and not really been into it, and I didn’t want to deal with any sexism or racism or other remnants of the 60s. I bought into the Kirk Drift and thought he was an asshole, and I didn’t want to watch 79 episodes of an asshole.
But after finishing Lower Decks my husband and I decided to dive in and watch all of it. I expected to adore Spock and groan at the special effects. I expected to roll my eyes a lot.
Friends, I was so wrong. I am delighted by this series. There was plenty of things to roll my eyes at and cringe at and yeah there’s stuff that has aged poorly or maybe was bad from the start. But overall, what a joy to watch. It was so fun to see the origin of so many things in science fiction and Star Trek. The costumes and sets were fun to look at. The fighting scenes are sometimes goofy but fun to watch. So much of this show is FUN and you can tell they had a blast making it.
And yeah, I loved Spock. But Kirk, Kirk surprised me. He’s such a deeper and more interesting character than I realized before watching. He’s not really an asshole at all. He’s smart and sweet and a good leader. He loves and ship and his crew. As Spock would say, he’s fascinating.
I knew vaguely about K/S and the history of fanfiction but watching it it’s like…yeah. Of course. Of course these two are together. Of course they launched fandom as we know it. Of course people saw the way they looked at each other and knew they should be married.
If you haven’t watched it yet take this as your sign that you should give it a try. You probably don’t have to watch every episode. There are some real stinkers in there. But give it a try, go in with an open heart, and you might be as delighted by it as I am now.
