[rocketnoway]

made this for oomf but it turned out incredible so I must share this to the world

[dig-jules]

who’s got that one gif of Captain Kirk doing this I Need it

[daftmooncretin]

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

[windwenn]

I don’t even have a caption for this help me help me there are gay people in my head and they won’t leave

[starberry-cupcake]

'the ultimate computer' aka uncannily precise vision of the future in which starfleet wants to replace jim with ai but spock and bones are not having it

I am going feral at all the times ai is being a menace in this show and how accurate it is to the bs present we're living in

legends say jimothy t. kirk imploded gay style after the 7th trial in mr spock’s transfer-proof lippie experiment

I can't believe I hadn't noticed this before but LOOK:

David Marcus has always felt underdone and underappreciated. But even with so little screen time they obviously tried to make every scene count. And his story is incredibly compelling, with added heartbreak because most people in the fandom don't seem to care or feel the full impact of the tradeoff Kirk makes with Spock and David between wrath of khan and search for spock. So to have Kirk cover David with his jacket but not actually show him do it hurts so much, but it feels very poetic at the same time.

Most of David's plot has to be inferred from the clues we get from the few scenes we do get from him and from what other characters say about him. We understand most of the feelings around him and his situation based on what Kirk shows us. In a way, he haunts the narrative before he even dies(if there's an actual term for that, let me know).

Until I actually thought about it and watched it again, this scene felt incredibly cold. But Kirk already had his breakdown, he's already let himself fall to the ground in grief. He can't stop again while they're all still in danger. So this moment feels almost generous. One last rite before the planet takes David's body in its self-destruction.

Bones and Scotty see this play out, but they don't say anything. David remains mostly unspoken. He is an unaccounted causality until Kirk shows his care and regard by leaving his jacket with David.

Even more heartbreaking, David doesn't need the jacket, but it's the only thing Kirk can do for him in their situation. A heavy contrast to Spock's funeral. In a way, it's more for Kirk's comfort than David's.

2024 what the hell

[trek-tracks]

Stop testing poison on yourself, Bones

[talk-nerdy-to-me-thyla]

Im sorry but i have to talk about how the FIRST shot we see of kirk is him gently touching a flower

His softness is so important to his character that we are meant to instantly recognize that this is him. THIS is is his establishing shot in this short and i think thats so important

cant believe people tried to convince me that kirk is a misogynistic womanizer macho man. my boy just wants to go on adventures and pick flowers. hes a stack of books with legs. he likes long walks on the beach. he apologises every time he snaps at someone when hes stressed. he teaches charlie not to hit women and to leave them alone when they're not interested.

this is your macho man? this man? look at him. i dont fucking think so
