Character Spotlight: Spock
By Ames
Last week we highlighted (and lowlighted) James T. Kirk here in our new blog collection, going character by character where no one has gone before. Itâs going to be a bit of a trek in and of itself, so join us here on A Star the Steer Her By to learn what we think of all your Starfleet favorites: when are they at their most naughty and most nice. This week, weâre moving on to the best first officer in the fleet and one of our favorite Vulcans, the ever logical Mister Spock!
For the franchiseâs first major alien character, he succeeded in teaching humanity to audiences throughout his far-reaching tenure, and that wasnât always his human half! Credit to Leonard Nimoy for giving us such a well-rounded character even though he couldnât display emotions in the same fashion as the others (but boy did he find a way!). Follow along below for our thoughts on Spockâs best and worst scenes, and listen to some bonus chatter over on this weekâs podcast episode (discussion at 1:05:00). Fascinating.

Best Moments
Checkmate, Finney Itâs been a minute since I released my blogpost about how bad I am at 3D chess (and all chess for that matter), but Spockâs so great at it that he uses his logic and big Vulcan brain to figure out the chess program is busted in âCourt Martialâ and save the day, which might be the Spockiest thing Iâve ever heard.
Pain! Pain! Spock mind melds a lot of critters throughout the shows and movies, but one of our favorites is when he connects with the Horta in âThe Devil in the Dark.â Like in our Kirk spotlight when the captain defended the old girl, weâve gotta credit Spock with communicating with her and treating her like a sentient being. And Nimoyâs acting in this scene! Mwah!
A man of integrity in both universes The Spock in âMirror, Mirrorâ isnât exactly our normal Spock, as his circumstances in the mirror universe have made him a different person in a lot of ways (mostly in the facial hair region). But in even more ways, heâs just like our Spock: someone who sees the illogical nature of the Terran Empire and who will take steps to make it better.
I love you but I hate you I donât know why, but Iâm just thoroughly tickled when Spock outwits the androids in âI, Muddâ with a logical paradox that breaks their computer brains. Sure, he tries a neck pinch first (he is Spock, after all!), but itâs telling the Alice robots, identical in every way, that he loves one but hates the other that causes them to malfunction all over the place.
Trademark Vulcan sass If Vulcans are allowed to express one emotion throughout all of Star Trek, itâs sass, and Leonard Nimoy can deadpan with the best of straightmen. In âThe Trouble with Tribbles,â McCoy remarks that tribbles are ânice, they're soft, they're furry, and they make a pleasant sound,â to which Spock quips, âSo would an ermine violin, Doctor, yet I see no advantage to having one.â Grade-A Vulcan sass right there.
Gladiatorial mind games âBread and Circusesâ may not be a good episode, but it gets the Spock-McCoy dynamic right. Not only does Spock save McCoy in battle, but that scene in the prison cell⌠I could write essays about that scene as theyâre both so vulnerable and desperate to connect, but Spock, ever the Vulcan, represses that emotion⌠just barely. And when Spock tells McCoy that they share concern over Kirkâs safety without actually telling him, itâs perfect.
Vulcans are incapable of lying, he lied While we found Kirkâs behavior in âThe Enterprise Incidentâ utterly baffling, Spockâs is thoroughly intriguing. He spends most of the episode seamlessly deceiving the Romulan Commander whoâs thirsting after him so hard, and she plays right into his Vulcan-saluting hands because she didnât anticipate so many loopholes allowing Vulcans to be duplicitous!
The wonders of the universe Am I mostly bringing up Spock mind melding a giant cloud in âOne of Our Planets Is Missingâ so that I can bring up my TOS fanfiction âSentient Lifeâ? A little bit.
I have been and always shall be your friend This list would not be complete without the beautiful sacrifice scene in The Wrath of Khan. The needs of the many do indeed outweigh the needs of the few in this perfectly poignant and amazingly acted character death. I canât think of a better main character death in all of Star Trek and Nimoy crushed it.
Rock out with your Spock out Weâve also got to give credit to Leonard Nimoy for the Vulcan neck pinch, a nonviolent, nonfatal deescalation tactic that is perfectly in character. It is a great inclusion for such a logical people to manage violent conflict in a mostly harmless way, and one of our favorites is neck pinching the punk on the bus since itâs also one of many great comedic moments in The Voyage Home.
They are not the hell your whales Speaking of The Voyage Home, weâve got more good Spock moments to choose from in that movie! It is such a smorgasbord of quippy, fun moments for our resident Vulcan because so much of the movie is that fish-out-of-water kind of humor, but everything Spock has to do with the whales, George and Gracie, is especially excellent.
Cowboy diplomacy We even get to see a little Spock action in The Next Generation when his plan to reunite Vulcan and Romulus gets revealed in âUnification.â It is such a noble goal from our logical friend (perhaps spurred by his encounter with the Romulan Commander in âThe Enterprise Incidentâ? Nudge nudge!) and we loved seeing his resolve and commitment to helping his square-shouldered cousins.
â
Worst Moments
Beep twice for âNO!â I get that the studio wanted to save time and money by using the footage from âThe Cageâ in âThe Menagerie,â but they had Spock acting fully out of character to make it happen. He kidnaps his disabled old captain against his will, he conspires to steal the ship, he puts the lives of everyone on the Enterprise in danger, he nearly gets Kirk killed in a shuttle, he creates an illusion of a flag officer! Itâs a full-on mutiny that sees no consequences!
Life-or-death decisions, but mostly death âStrange. Step by step, I've made the correct and logical decisions â and yet two men have died,â says Spock in âThe Galileo Seven.â Somehow, every time we see Spock in charge, everyone has a really bad day. The show would make you believe itâs because Vulcans only act on logic with no emotion or intuition, but they really need to stop leaving the ship in his hands!
Not even a grandfather paradox â just a father paradox Temporal shenanigans abound in âTomorrow is Yesterdayâ when the Enterprise is forced to beam up Captain Christopher. Spock assures everyone that the displaced pilot will have no bearing on history, until he is forced to eat those words because this science officer neglected to check if Christopherâs son would be influential. Since when is Spock so careless?
A need-to-know basis We joked throughout The Original Series that Vulcans seemed to attain a new superpower each week. And since Spock just doesnât seem to tell people things they need to know until they really need to know it, we donât learn about his inner eyelids until âOperation: Annihilate!â, his parents being onboard until âJourney to Babel,â or his having a half brother until Star Trek V!
This has pon farr enough Iâm frankly sick of everything about pon farr, and am dreading revisiting it in Enterprise. Itâs yet another one of those Vulcan aspects they wonât tell you about until too late, and in âAmok Time,â itâs way too late. The whole biological circumstance is weird enough, but if Vulcans has told us any of their rituals ahead of time, Spock wouldnât have had to kill his best friend in the kal-if-fee like a chump.
Heil Spock While itâs mostly a gag on the podcast that Spock loves Nazis, thereâs definitely a reason why we think that. In âPatterns of Force,â Spock agrees with Gill when he calls Nazi Germany the most efficient state Earth ever knew, saying: âQuite true, Captain. That tiny country, beaten, bankrupt, defeated, rose in a few years to stand only one step away from global domination.â Does that make Spock a Nazi? Not entirely, but it would explain some things, like how quick to wanting to kill Mitchell he was in âWhere No Man Has Gone Before.â
What a tangled web he weaves Like in âThe Galileo Seven,â Spock ends up in command again when Kirk is presumed dead in âThe Tholian Web,â and he borks it. The whole episode is about him and McCoy snipping at each other because of the effects of the area of space, but theyâre both extremely out of character even without it, with Spock ignoring Docâs warning about getting stuck in the web, making awful decisions, and generally being terrible at leading a crew.
If only I could forget We found it weirdly nonconsensual when Spock decides to make Kirk forget about his romance with Rayna (and who knows what else?) in âRequiem for Methuselah.â McCoy jabs at Spock that heâll never understand, and then Spock seems to act just naively when he takes Kirkâs memory in his sleep, as if Spock were taking him literally when Kirk said heâd rather forget.
Behind every good woman⌠is Spock taking credit Weâll surely bring up âThe Lorelei Signalâ when we talk about Uhuraâs best moments because itâs a rare moment for the women to get the spotlight, but thereâs a moment in this episode in which, despite the lady crewmembers having already figured out the ploy themselves, theyâve hatched their plan âin accordance with Mister Spockâs requestâ and I vomit in my mouth a little.
You have not achieved kolinahr Itâs pretty clear that the production team didnât know theyâd have Leonard Nimoy back for The Motion Picture until late in the writing process because his motivation is spotty at best. Since he has not achieved kolinahr, he rather makes his presence in the movie about himself, and to make matters worse, he yeets off to mind meld with Vâger without telling anyone!
I hear he's nutty as a fruitcake As beautiful as the death scene in The Wrath of Khan is, itâs also pretty messed up for Spock to cram his katra into McCoy with no warning and with dire effects. Think about it: none of the humans knew before The Search for Spock that katras were even a thing, and Bones could have gone insane just for the sake of bringing the character back to life, negating that great sacrifice!
They flung their wooden shoes called sabots into the machines We love a good mind meld on Star Trek, but Spock just plain crosses a line in The Undiscovered Country when he mind rapes Valeris to expose her as the saboteur. Considering the mind meld was first created in order to give Spock an alternative to violent action to combat assailants, using it in a way thatâs so violating is the most uncomfortable moment we could think of.

Keep your medical tricorders scanning here as we continue along through all the main characters from The Original Series! Next week, weâre scanning for Dr. Bones McCoy here on the blog, as well as continuing our watchthrough of Enterprise over on the podcast. You can also send a message over subspace on Facebook and Twitter, and keep your damn katra to yourself. Live long and prosper!

saw a post about projecting your ethnicity onto a character and started missing vespa ilkay. so so bad
#pov u grow up in a 3rd world country(/planet) where healthcare workers are exported by the thousands like cheap produce to richer countries#it's your ticket out of poverty as long as you can deal with the loneliness the separation from everyone you know the discrimination etc#ive never talked about my hc that vespas mother was one of them sending money every month visiting every couple of years until it just stop#like why return to the swamps when youre doing fine working on a richer planet w much better living conditions#cost of living rises every year. sending home a % of your salary used to be enough to support your husband and daughter and then it isnt#you know how it goes#vespa is also dead set on this path until ranga realizes that hemorrhaging healthcare workers leaves them with little to none of their own#students on scholarships or in community/state universities are bound by return service agreements and are forbidden to leave the country#until theyve rendered a few years of work on ranga to pay back their tuition + as a really shitty solution to the brain drain problem#this is real in my country btw but my professors say a lot of ppl do break their rsa's and fucked off to work in other countries LOL#our state unis can barely afford decent facilities they do nottt have the budget to chase down their own alumni in other countries!#but the mental image is a bit funny#vespa ilkays first crime: tinakasan ang rsa#i do also think it lines up with her having a network of med friends everywhere in the galaxy (heart of it all) you kind of go into pre/med#expecting most of your classmates to leave to work in other countries eventually. mine are aiming for the usa / uae / europe / japan etc#anyway whether vespa breaks her rsa or not she leaves ranga asap decides to switch careers and the rest is history#i also deeply love the fact that she's superstitious i'm very sad it wasn't highlighted more (i've only heard s1-3)#as someone who did grow up in a rural area and went to more albularyos/folk healers than doctors in my childhood. (they never failed me)#lots of folk illnesses (ex. balis; pasma) local medical superstitions (dont eat noodles in hospital; youll have a really toxic shift) etcc#theres also a lot of potential in tying her past as a rangian + med student + assassin to me idk how to word this properly#being raised on cautionary tales of not to touch/disturb anything in the swamps then being given free reign to poke & prod at things in her#lab classes (now with the proper ppe)....she was having so much fun with the curemother prime too lmao#years of walking hanging bridges docks boathouses in ranga etc gave her great balance & stealth#cracking open alien shellfish in the swamps to cutting open bodies for studying then for assassination....#I MISS HER SO MUCH BALIK KN SAKEN đđđđđđ#i get why most people + the canon focuses on her being an assassin bc people find that cooler i guess#but vespa being a swamp girl > 3rd world med student > assassin is so personal To Me. the whole pipeline. eugh.#skl.txt

How do I explain the ways in which the bill origins fic 'A Romance of Many Dimensions' by haley3 rewired my brain without needing to give paragraphs upon paragraphs of context. The fic is something like 200,000 words long. Almost every single good moment calls back to things that are set up earlier in the fic
#godsrambles#girl help 'the colors in our universe are the same as the ones in his home dimension because our universe is made out of a piece of bill'#makes NO sense without adding way more context#not to speak of 'bill is obsessed with ford because he can Feel the same cosmic thread connecting them as the one that drew him towards-#-meeting his henchmaniacs which makes him convinced against all odds that ford is gonna join him'#and the long beginning is set in flatland. its what finally got me to read the book flatland#and now I will literally think to myself 'its not that i Have to do x or y tasks. i GET to do x or y tasks isnt that great'#'i get to live in a physical form that experiences so many vivid thoughts and sensations while on bills favorite planet in the multiverse'#and i will be like 'why should i drag my feet about learning this or doing that. bill was literally trapped in a 2d world-'#'and KILLED to be able to experience a life as 3d and colorful as the one im in'#'and just like bill was so desperate to learn and see and do Everything that the axolotl gave him a ton of power so he could do that.'#'i Also want to learn and do and see everything i possibly can. and i literally HAVE the chance to do that'#'so i'd better start actually Trying to do and see and learn everything i can'#and then i brush my teeth slightly more often or whatever#fucking unhinged and ridiculous way of getting myself to do tasks#the events of this fic arent even my headcanon for bills powers and backstory. i just think its neat!#and now my brain has been permanently rewired by a got dam fan fic.#anyways sorry for all the spoilers but i mean. i doubt many folks would decide to read a fic that long without being intrigued by spoilers#most frustrating thing is that the hard hitting spoilers SEEM understandable without context.#but i promise there is a lot of context missing that makes it make sense why they are good plot points and not just weird random happenings#edit: its 200000 words not 600000. how did I misread that

y'know what's really weird that i see too often actually? how hs fans will take bro's actions into account when analyzing dirk and will sometimes even let bro's actions completely colour over their opinions of dirk, but its RARE that i see the same done for mom and roxy. like rose's childhood wasnt great either, and roxy has ALSO done some really fucked up, shitty things to her friends. shes arguably done worse things than dirk has, bc dirk never sexually harrassed anyone for years straight. dirk's teenaged missteps are clumsy attempts at showing care and tbh arent NEARLY as well thought out as he claims them to be. dirk is hard headed and an absolute control freak and claims to lead with his brain but really leads with his dumb stubborn heart, which gets him into trouble and has him crossing boundaries, which he then broods over for centuries thus feeding into his self-hate spiral and making him overall worse in health & to be around
roxy on the other hand runs on strategic avoidance, self-indulgence, and a deep loneliness (a void, even) that shes very desperate to fill (understandible and painfully human), which is what keeps her drinking and also what keeps her going after dirk even when she knows she doesnt have a chance, and when she knows that on some level she must be messing him up (she was). and shes aware of all this too!!! but she didnt stop until contact was actually made!!!
[pages 5809, 5810. just reread that whole conversation again tbh its all critical to roxy as a concept]
roxy's actual arc is fuckin fantastic!!!! hs fans are missing out on how roxy is actually written!!! theyre missing out on roxy im fuckin despairing!!!! roxy is the most emotionally intellegent strilonde but she had to get in there and do the dirty work to achieve what she has rn!!! and shes STILL actively improving bc its only until semi-recently in HSBC that she finally completely unburied her head from the sand about jane in candy!! bc shes still avoidant but whoops now her kid is in danger so ig jane really is that far gone!!!!
we saw rose herself finally remark on how she really feels about roxy. like this is from the timeline where they both become parents. like how fucked would it be if dave had to watch dirk be an actual good parent to a kid the way rose has been watching roxy? and pretend to be happy to see it cause thats just what you Do when someone you know and love has a baby? thats soooo fucked up and deserves 5287593 essays. that knife in rose's side is twisted way too deep to be pulled out and its mom lalonde's fault
#our t#this isnt some kinda smear campaign for roxy lalonde this is genuinely just how i appreciate characters who are written like this#i feel the same about jane. oooooh boy i could go off about jane#and how many MANY fans are missing the point of her as a character and what she represents across canon#jane 'friendly fascism' crocker who never got deprogrammed bc all her friends dont know wtf theyre#looking at outside of fish hitler herself!!! alternian fish-fascism looks a little different to modern#earth human-fascism in HS & i think thats veerrry intentional. i mean. points at feferi. hs1 jane is very much analogous to feferi#and feferi is the one who built beforus' society. which was essentially a planet-wide nanny state. which is VERY VERY BAD#beforus feferi was absolutely as much of a dictator as HIC was. she just didnt enact as much goverment mandated bloodshed!!!#like cmonnn the highbloods determined what qualified as a 'disadvantage' so they could 'protect' lowbloods/mutants#by controlling EVERYTHING they do. by keeping them at home and stripping them of their autonomy to do anything#bc theyre poor sweet babies who need firm handling! theyre too dumb and will hurt themselves if left on their own!#like this is jane -> jake in the epilogues/hsbc like CMOOOONNN!!!! ITS RIGHT THEREEEEE

very lalalala day... I must savor it before I go to the trenches tomorrow
#got to sub for my old theater teacher and the kids were like YO!!!! AGAIN!!! HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS đđđđđđđ#bc ive subbed for them in choir the past four days đ#it's fun to build that rapport w the kids! :] and then yesterday the choir teacher had asked if I could have them#figure out their riser formation for one of the more difficult songs they're doing and well.#peace and love on the planet earth those kids were STRUGGLING đ but i gave them no structure or help so. what could they do#(although that is a bit out of my wheelhouse as a sub đł)#anyways it bothered me that the choir teacher was going to come back from being sick + have a whole lotta nothing SO. i spent my whole day#thinking about the dynamics of that group and which parts of the song challenged which voice parts + how confidently each section sang#etc etc. and i made a little diagram for her so she could at least have one thing to throw at the wall today đĽ˛#so! i went to check on her in between classes bc she's fighting bronchitis and i was worried about her. well! come to find out my#diagram was really helpful and the girls liked how it felt in those spots + are going to stick with it for concert! huzzah đđť#i also got to interrogate the choir teacher on what uni's she recommends and âźď¸âźď¸ holy shit mama has the scoop!!! we spent 20 minutes#talking about it at least đ anyways. fighting the urge to go to the private uni she and the other choir teachers in my lineage went to....#have i performed at that school many times and love the environment of their program? yes. but you have to fight a WAR for their scholarship#and they basically never give full-rides for music 𼲠then there's another private uni w an excellent musical theater program that would#give me a lot of experience in that vein BUT money is so hard already so đĽ´đĽ´đĽ´#there's another school where you can get a bme and fast-track into their graduate conducting program which âźď¸âźď¸#but ALSO. there's another school with an opera program đđ which i would kill to study#i need to make an excel sheet respectfully. so much to consider đđđ#mostly i just want to be. as well-rounded as possible before i get in the classroom so i can have this same conversation w my own students#school stuff aside!! i just got out of our pre-season for the con i work at and RAHH âźď¸âźď¸âźď¸âźď¸âźď¸#our team is so. đ

I just think it would be fun to make Raven Beak smooch Samus' other dads.
#adam malkovich#raven beak#chozo#the spirit of Grey Voice watches her zoom off to ZDR and he's like âoh... i haven't seen him since nineteen odd-seven...â#âwe kind of left things off on a sour note. i wish i'd had an opportunity to let him know how much our blood-bond meant to meâ#and then later he's like âohhh I *really* should have made more of an effort to maintain that bond huhâ#Adam reads the details of her mission and he says âoh. we're going to ZDR huh.â#âyeah. ring any bells?â#âyou see Samus. not long after i made rank i had a... very special friend. that occasionally mentioned a planet of this description"#at the end of the road she makes a break for it as the planet dies and Adam says âso... did you by any chance come to meet one Raven Beakâ#âyeah he got got by the X.â âdamn.â#âdid you at least get to see him before the end?â âyeah he was apparently one of my genetic contributorsâ âhe WHATâ#âNo that can't be true. tell me you're kidding.â âI'm not joshing you.â âSamus.â âYeah?â âYou're never gonna believe this.â âSpit it out.â#âI fucked your dadâ#time is a circle and her web of relationships is a big scribbled mess. the eternal comedy. the universe really is small.#missed connections here and there#he just weeps softly in binary.#adambeak#not serious about shipping. but if i see two old people and decide someone could write something fun with them i slap them together#adam is not âoldâ. but dealing with Samus probably took a decade off his lifespan so he counts by extension#this pairing is based off of how Adam hypes Raven Beak up throughout the duration of the video game.#I know [spoilers]. but it's fun this way.#someone had to put them in the same room.

I watched Knock At The Cabin and I'm not sure how I feel about it but it was better than I expected. I mean, at this point with M Night Shyamalan I just go in prepared for deep disappointment, and I didn't get that!

i dont have a lot of spanish music in my phone and like. its even less when compared to like the huge amount of not spanish music on there. anyways that means even though i almost always have music playing its rare for this situation to have occured but
its late, and my phone started playing spanish music from the other room while i brushed my teeth. and listening to the muffled crooning and trumpets i was briefly thrown back into my 12 year old body, standing in my childhood bathroom listening to the neighbors loudly play their music down the street while i got ready for bed and felt such a crushing sense of longing and homesickness for a community I'll never have again that. i think i might actually be ill now
#i cant. even if i went back those families i knew then arent there anymore.#and trying to meet new ones? I'm. its so hard for a lot of different reasons i wont get into. but more than that#its just... not as common anymore. people get in trouble more easily and things are.... well some people would call it shaping or cleaning#up the neighborhood but like. i can barely recognize my home anymore. not the house but the... the block. idk.#theres modern buildings on the lots where we rode our horses. empty homes and overpriced businesses.#currently i live in a gated community. its a rental. all the houses look the same. i feel like im on the fucking dark planet from#A Wrinkle In Time. My childhood houses door was yellow. my moms house is pink. i miss the neighbors purple home. I'm in a beige hell.#i've a note saying my lawn is too tall and the flowers need to be killed. I've never heard anyone play music loud enough for me to hear too#my posts#I've made too many posts today. this is a sign of sleep deprivation btw in the future if someome could come put me down before i get here#again that'd be nice

We keep finding space stations, and we don't know why yet.
Most are in orbit around planets, but plenty more are orbiting moons, stars, the odd black hole, or just floating in deep space.
Their age varies, some are so old that just getting close enough to dock makes them shatter like glass, others are so recently constructed that the lights are still on and the reactors are still fueled. All are empty of any life or robots smarter than a roomba.
The ones orbiting planets are orbiting dead worlds, or living worlds where nothing on them is smart enough to launch a space station.
The stations in deep space are weirder. The most information came from the one by Epsilon Eridani. A massive installation, it had docking rings for hundreds of vessels, all empty. It was in remarkable shape for how old it was (from the unrepaired micrometeorite impacts, we estimate it has been abandoned for about 3000 years), so we were able to access a lot of information from its main computer. We found the coordinates of several home planets, and visited them all. All were dead, empty, or in one case, simply missing. The star was still there, the other uninhabitable planets mentioned in the databanks were there, but their homeworld? Gone. No debris or expanding gas cloud, it's just missing.
And that's the thing: if we found space stations along with abandoned ruins of ground-based installations, that'd make sense. If we met dozens of living races, amongst a few empty satellites of long dead races, that'd also be expected. But this is all the evidence we're not alone in the universe we've found.
We've sent probes to over half the stars in this galaxy and visited hundreds in crewed spacecraft, but the empty space stations are the only evidence of alien life. Every planet is either a sterile husk, a gas giant, or a vibrant living world with nothing smarter than a giraffe living on it. Oh, there's strange life forms of every kind! But none of them seem sapient, certainly not sapient enough to build a space station.
Where is everyone? We've been asking that question since we first understood the Drake Equation and the Fermi paradox, but the question has taken on a new form as we've gone to the stars and found endless empty houses in the sky.
It's the difference between looking at an empty desert and walking through an abandoned city. In both cases, there's a silent emptiness, but in the latter case, it seems to contain a sinister element. This place is empty, but it shouldn't be. Something made it empty, and we haven't found out why yet.
We keep looking, and keep listening to the echoes of our own footsteps in the silent habitats.

đžReally Nice Guy Who Hates Only You
*part of the reverse trope series*
Pairing: Oscar Piastri x Celebrity!Reader Genre: Fluff/Miscommunication/Humor/SMAU Summary: Oscar was known to be the epitome of a polite cat. His reputation is that he is genuinely nice to everyone. Well, everyone except for you.
*once again, I have loved writing for this series and it seems like everyone loves these chapters (as they have the highest notes out of all of them). I'm really excited for what is to come! I have loved making all the special tweets and other additions to the posts!*
TAG LIST IS CLOSED
Oscar had been in a bad mood. The garage could practically feel the cloud that surrounded the Aussie as he walked through the garage on Saturday morning for the sprint. The scrunch of the nose and the constant side eyes also gave it away.Â
Normally, Oscar tends to be more on the quiet side. But today, he was even quieter. Gone was the polite cat, and it was replaced by a very grumpy feline.Â
âHey Oscar! Come meet our guests!âÂ
Oscar let out a sigh as he turned around and put a very fake smile on his face. This is the moment he had been dreading ever since you stepped into the garage. He did, or couldnât, understand why you were wearing his number on the back of the jersey you wore.Â
It disgusted him.Â
You were very pretty though, he had eyes. Your hair went very well with the papaya orang and your smile could pretty much kill a man in a 10-foot radius. Except that right now, Oscar wanted your perfect hair to catch on fire and heâd avoid the smile.Â
When he finally got closer, he stopped a few feet in front of you, not wanting to get too close. Two hands clapped him on the shoulders as Lando started to shake him.Â
âSo Os-cah, this is Y/n L/n, 2-time Grammy Award winner and probably the prettiest guest weâve ever had.âÂ
All right, so Lando was a gonner.
Oscar fought the urge to roll his eyes right into the back of his head so he wouldnât have to look at you anymore. But your smile was oh-so pretty. You looked at him with wide eyes as you held out your hand for a shake.Â
However, Oscar just looked at it, then looked at you.Â
âWelcome.â
Lando reeled back, confused at his younger teammateâs coldness. The two watched as your smile faltered just a bit. (If Oscar had any remorse, he didnât show it.) You were quick to recover and spread another smile, even if this one wasnât as real as the first.Â
You put your hand down as you greeted, âItâs such an honor to finally meet you! Iâve been a fan for what feels like forever.âÂ
Oscar grunted. âCanât say the same.âÂ
You absolutely wanted to whimper. You had been waiting to be invited to a Formula 1 garage ever since you won your first Grammy. And well, you had other offers from Red Bull or Ferrari, but the McLaren garage is the one you wanted to be your first. So, you had declined and declined until you knew that you could meet the driver that you had been following for so long.Â
But now that you finally met him, you wondered why he was such an asshole.Â
You pushed down your feelings and continued. âThatâs ok. My music isnât for everyone. But I wanted to congratulate you on your rookie season last year!âÂ
âThanks.âÂ
Ok, Lando knew something was up and he couldnât take the hurt-puppy-eyes coming from you anymore. The Briton was about to say something, but Zak had decided to interrupt with another celebrity guest.Â
âGuys, this is Sabrina, sheâs also joining Miss L/n in the garage today. Ladies, we have two headsets for you in the back when weâll go over some last minute car things if youâd like to listen in!â Zak explained.Â
It only hurt when Oscar eyes lit up at your fellow musician, brushing past you to personally introduce himself. Lando was now left with a very sad Grammy winner on his hands. He gently put his arm around your waist to bring you to the side.
When a long sigh escaped your lips, Lando felt awful.Â
âY/n, I swear heâs normally the nicest person on the planet. Oscar always seems to love everyone, no matter the guest.âÂ
Your eyes flitted over to where Oscar was now animatedly talking to Sabrina about her new album. You let out a scoff.Â
âYeah, everyone but me. Maybe I should have just taken the offer from Red Bull or Ferrari.âÂ
Lando pouted. He knew that you had been a fan of Oscarâs way back to the start of his F2 season. And then you had purposefully put the word McLaren in many different songs. Hell, your newest album titled âMomentumâ was basically a love letter to your beloved team. You even had plans to become an investor once you could make the first payment.Â
The Briton felt lost. âI was going to find Max and Charles if youâd like to join me?âÂ
You took one more look at Oscar, not surprised to see him glare at you from the side. That action made up your mind and you agreed to go with Lando.Â
Taking with Max and Charles was like a breath of fresh air. The two were great conversationalists and pretty funny. The Monegasque even invited you into one of the media buildings to look at the behind the scenes, which put you in awe.Â
The two rivals, thought, couldnât understand why you were attached to Lando when you had a giant 81 on the back of your jersey.Â
âHave you met Oscar yet?â Charles asked. When you tensed, he knew that he had asked a wrong question. Your expression quickly became sad.Â
âYeah. But I donât think he likes me very much,â you muttered.Â
Max scoffed. âThatâs absurd. Heâs quiet, but heâs nice to everyone.âÂ
Lando winced. âBut for some reason, he was being really rude and just standoff-ish.â Â
You looked so dejected. âAt first I thought he might not be a fan of my music, but then he was super smiley with Sabrina and we co-wrote most of mine and her songs. So itâs not the genre.âÂ
The Briton wanted to try to bring your spirits back up, but he noticed the time and said that you and him had to be back at the garage. You said your goodbyes to the Dutchman and Monegasque before you followed Lando back to the garage.Â
On your way in, Oscar sent you yet another glare as he got ready to be in the car.Â
Although he had been mean, you still said, âGood luck.âÂ
Maybe he heard you or didnât, but he never responded or acted like he took it to heart.Â
When Oscar was able to overtake multiple cars and finish the sprint in P2, you were ecstatic. His terrible attitude did not hinder your joy for the Aussie. You didnât secretly call yourself the #1-Piastri fan for nothing. Sabrina laughed next to you as you hopped up and down, glad that your driver finished well in the points.Â
It was sad for Lando who didnât make it past P5, but the Briton explained that qualifying for the actual race is when it truly counted.Â
You watched with stars in your eyes as Oscar walked up after Charles to be interviewed by Jensen Button.Â
The former driver asked the first question.Â
âOscar, first congrats on the P2, you did a lot of overtaking. Was that in the strategy?âÂ
The Aussie laughed, really showing that he indeed was polite to everyone.Â
âWell the strategy is always to win, but we were close with all the upgrades. Itâs been good and Iâm ready for the races to come.âÂ
A few more questions were asked and exchanged before Jensen somehow brought you up.Â
âSo we saw that Y/n L/n and Sabrina Carpenter were both in the McLaren garage. And we all know that Y/n is a massive McLaren fan as well as your fan. Have you listen to any of her songs?â
Many people definitely saw the change in facial expression when your name was brought up. The smiley Oscar was replaced with a bored one.Â
âWell, I donât really listen to artists who bash or make fun of my driving.âÂ
Jensen gave me a very curious look. âShe actually praises you in most of her songs.âÂ
The Aussie rolled his eyes. âYeah, like the one where she said she crashed her McLaren like Piastri.âÂ
Your eyes widened, along with everyone else in the garage. Those were definitely not the lyrics to one of your songs. Lando also had wide eyes and he was looking right at you, who seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown.Â
âI would never do that,â you said, looking into Landoâs hazel eyes. The Briton looked puzzled. He had specifically played or sung songs for the Aussie that mentioned McLaren or Oscar.Â
You kind of just sank into the background, trying to process what could have gone wrong. Lando on the other hand raced to catch Oscar as he was walking into the garage.
âMate, what are you doing?â Oscar asked as Lando was directing him to one of the driver rooms. Lando slammed the door and turned to Oscar.Â
âWhat are the lyrics to Y/nâs song?âÂ
There was another eye roll. âLando you sung them to me like two weeks ago.âÂ
Land shook his head. âBut tell me.âÂ
Oscar huffed, âSmall talk, big love. Act like you donât care but I disagree. When I crashed my McLaren like Piastri.âÂ
âStop!âÂ
The Aussie cocked his head.Â
Lando continued, âThose arenât the lyrics you muppet. Itâs âWhen I crashed my McLaren like past me.â A few years ago, Y/n used to wreck a lot of cars at a teen. She got better and decided to buy a McLaren when your seat was announced for 2023. And then she crashed it on accident after she got broken up with.âÂ
A look of realization washed over Oscarâs face and then a look of dread. A giant sigh left his lips. Lando thought he was going to pass out or something but the second Papaya driver quickly ran out of the room. He stopped short of where you had sat in the back of the garage and quietly started to step closer.Â
Your head was in your hands but you looked up when you heard footsteps. You were shocked to be looking at Oscar, who had a guilty look on his face. You shot up out of your seat and began to ramble.Â
âOscar, I swear, I would never back and diss you in any of my songs. Youâre truly my favorite driver and I was so excited to meet you. I have put your name in my songs before, but itâs only been praise. Iâm so sorry that youâve been thinking that Iâd make fun of your driving and-âÂ
Oscar held out a hand to stop you.Â
But now it was his turn to ramble, hands flying everywhere.Â
âYouâre sorry? Iâm sorry. Iâve been an utter asshole to you all day. That was horrible of me. Lando sung me the song a few weeks ago, but it was pretty mumbled because he couldnât remember some of the words and I heard Piastri instead of past me and I just thought the worst andâŚâÂ
Lando was having a field day watching you watch Oscar with stars in your eyes as he apologized over and over again.Â
The Briton pretended to dust his hands off as he watched Oscar pull out his phone and offer it to you.Â
âAnother day, another matchmaking completed.â Â

Dick: I made a mistake
Jason: What you do?
Dick: It's bad
Tim: How bad?
Dick: I think Bruce is going to take me out of the trust fund bad
Damian:Â Worry no, Richard, for I shall care for you when you are old, wrinkled, and gross. I have more than enough funds for both of us.
Dick: Thanks Dami
Jason: So what'd you do?
Dick: Remember Danny Phantom? That ghost hero that saved the planet from an asteroid?
Tim: Yeah, he does good, clean work. Bruce considered offering him a spot in the Justice League before he suddenly announced he planned to retire from the hero scene.
Dick: I slept with him.
Damian: I beg your pardon?
Dick: And I left before he could wake up the following day, ignored all his calls 'cause he was my rebound when Kori and I split and haven't seen him in almost five years. I just saw him.
Jason:Â Alright, he's your ex, and you ran into him. He's probably mad at you since that was a bit shitty. But that's not too bad; I don't think Bruce will disown you-
Dick: Yeah turns out Phantom isn't a human ghost. I don't know what he is, but he is a different species, which means his kind reproduces differently, and he was walking hand in hand with a miniature version of me. A version that was five years old. I stole some of the kid's hair, and well.....I have a son I never knew about because I blocked Danny after our one night since I got what I wanted from him.
Tim/Jason: .....
Damian: I regret to inform you, Deadbeat, that no funds are available for you. Or ever. You will die alone. Hungry and scared.
Dick: Trust me I know I deserve that. God! What am I going to do!?
Meanwhile clear across the city
Dan: Are you sure no one will notice me overshadowing this body?
Danny:Â Nah, it's a failed cloning experiment between me and my ex. It never had a soul. Think of it like it's a meat suit. If anything, I can just keep telling people you're my son.
Dan: Why did you try to clone your ex anyway?
Danny: I'm bored Dan. I'm so bored, there is nothing for me to do now that I retired Phantom.
Dan: That's fair. Boredom is the worst. That's why I choose to visit the human world, though it is weird to be corporal after all this time.
Danny: Do you miss being a halfa?
Dan: Sometimes. But I brought upon myself, I did kill my human side, so I appreciate you leaning me the meat suit. Now tell me about that ex.
Danny: Ancients, where do I even start. His mullet? Blagh! His diet? Blagh!
Dan: He hot?
Danny: So hot.
Dan: Nice.
#dcxdpdabbles#mun speaks#from a fic i never wrote#In wich Dan is overshadowing a not real body#And Dick is panicking at what he thinks is mpreg#Danny sometimes thinks about Dick#death defying

Sea Cryptic! Danny AU- Pt.4
[Pt.1] [Pt.2] [Pt.3] [Pt.5] [Pt.6] [Pt.7] [Pt.8] [Pt.9] [Pt.10]
Danny was sitting in the back, his backpack obnoxiously taking up the seat next to him, when the door to the lecture hall creaked open near silently.
âWhat are you in here for?â Danny asked the guy who crept into class. He sympathetically took his backpack off the Seat of Shame and allowed the guy to sit down. Funnily enough, they had the same hair and eye color.
âGen Ed. Undecided. You?â The guy grunted quietly back.
âEnvironmental studies. Iâm Danny.â
âTim.â
With the implicit understanding of two people in a required class they could not give less than two fucks about, Tim and Danny tuned back into the lecture. When the class was assigned group work, Danny looked over to see Tim softly snoring, head slammed down on the table.
âTim. Wake up, dude.â Danny poked his shoulder.
âHuh? Class over?â
âNah, we got group work. Discussion board.â
âOh shit, thanks for waking me up. Wanna team up?â
Danny shrugged. âSure. We should aim to post it in the middle so the professor doesnât read our answers to the class.â
âYeah, sounds like a good idea. Any idea what weâre talking about?â
âKind of?â
âGood enough for me.â
ââ
Tim Drake kept seeing Danny Fenton around on campus.
âDanny! Dude, what are you doing?â
Danny turned, gloved hands full of crumpled trash. âPicking up after the student population, apparently.â
âDidnât think environmental studies was that serious.â
âGlobal warming is very serious, you jerk,â Danny smirked at him, crossing the grass to put the trash into the trash can. âReduce, reuse, oil shouldnât be spilled in water and all that.â
âBasic stuff,â Tim grinned. Nice, he basically had a friend past Bernard now!
They were friends, right?
âAnd yet humanity fails to comprehend it. Incredible. Incredibly stupid that is.â
âThey get it. Major corporations just donât care.â
Danny sighed. âTrue that. You on your way to your next class?â He took off his biodegradable gloves off (nitrile and nylon, baby!) and chucked them into the trash.
âIâve got free time, actually. Prof cancelled for his daughterâs surgery.â
âOh, shit, thatâs rough! You wanna go downtown and join the strike?â
âA strike? What for?â Even as he asked, Tim hiked his bag higher onto his shoulder, ready to go. They fell into step as the two left campus.
âApparently, Quillan Pharma was doing some shady shit at their manufacturing plants. I think itâs like killing kids, and pouring toxins into the ground.â
âOh, shit.â
âYeah. Oh! Poison Ivyâs gonna be there!â
Tim blinked. He casted a sideways look at Danny. Sure heâs been here long enough to know⌠but it couldnât hurt to check. âYou know sheâs an eco-terrorist, right?â
âOkay, but like⌠people suck sometimes. And all sheâs asking for is like donât kill the planet. And she doesnât do that whole mind control thing too much anymore! The Sirens are so cool. Plus, one of my best friends at home might actually kill me if I donât try to get her autograph. Poison Ivy is like, Samâs personal hero.â
Tim snickered. âYeah, okay. Mind if one of my friends join? His nameâs Bernard.â
âThe more the merrier,â Danny nodded. âOoo! Hot chocolate. Want some?â
Danny bought three drinks as Tim trailed behind, texting Bernard.
âHe said yes.â
âCool! We should meet up somewhere before the drinks get cold.â
Well, Danny got the autograph. Tim got a new friend, and Bernard got a drink from his crush.
ââ
âOh, youâre the glowing dude that Batman always talks about!â
Danny blinked, eyes scanning the wing-like cape and the yellow emblem on the heroâs suit. Danny was indeed glowing, stars and nebulas freckling across neon green skin, and glowing hair the color of a white dwarf star, tinged with the blue from his ice core.
âI�� have absolutely no idea who you are,â Danny lied, like a liar. Heâs found a surprising niche of entertainment in messing with the local vigilantes and heâll be damned if he missed this opportunity.
He heard a snicker from the comm lines as Red Robin visibly brushes it off.
âIâm Red Robin. Why are you picking up trash?â
âPicking up after you humans, apparently.â
The both of them blink, feeling a weird sense of dĂŠjĂ vu. A moment of awkward silence passed before they both shook it off.
âAre you here to help? No offense, but the track record for you people is terrible.â Danny strode over and grabbed a bag. He opened it, and shook it at Red Robinâs face. âSee? Batarangs, these odd bird looking ones, the Râs. Seriously, pick up after yourselves!â
âOh, woah, can we have these back?â
Danny yanked the bag back before Red Robin could get close. âPay me. These were incredibly tedious to pick up. Especially the batarangs. I mean, I even found a whole bunch of old rusted ones in the middle of the bay. What did you do, dump an entire bag in there from the air?â
Red Robin sighed and took out a wad of cash, with tracking fluid all over it. Danny grimaced, smelling the odd scent on the money. âThatâs not real cash. It smells off. Are you trying to give me counterfeits because youâre broke?â
Red Robin gaped, oddly offended. âNo! Theyâre real!â
âDoesnât smell like it. Itâs stinkier than the trash. Go get the one with the money, the litterer. Tell him Iâll be back the next full moon. I donât want to talk to you anymore.â Danny grumbled, disappearing on the spot to watch Red Robin flounder with the stack of cash and the piles of dead bodies on the shore.
âWhat the fuck even is my life these days?â Red Robin wondered out loud, stuffing the cash back into his pocket. He looked over the plastic wrapped bodies and slumped, sighing.
Oddly enough, Danny felt a sense of sympathy. Well, heâs not getting paid for sympathy. Heâs not getting paid at all tonight, actually. Danny flew off, plunging once more into the depths of the significantly cleaner waters, and used his ice to scoop out oil stains.
Danny glanced around and sighed. He had a lot of work to do.
ââ
âSo youâre saying heâs like a werewolf mermaid fae child immortal god thing, right?â
Bruce grunted.
âB, what the hell are you smoking these days? You know drugs are bad, right? Do we need Superman to give you that PSA?â Jason snickered.
Tim, massaging his arms from having to haul an ungodly amount of dead bodies, grunted. Heâs so similar to Bruce that it gave the people currently in the cave hives.
âHe said full moon. I donât think we can track him with regular stuff. The bugs kept shorting out.â
âOh boy,â Dick sighed. âDonât fall off the spiral cliff, Tim. Youâve got midterms to think about so no stalking the guy.â
âYet,â Tim shot back, changing out of his suit.
Bruce grunted, setting aside a huge stack of cash.

Danny is a house husband.
That's it, that's all it is.
As the years went on. Danny retired from being a superhero. There was no need for Phantom when the GIW were dealt with and all the ghosts were under control.
Now what's left for him to do but to just sit back, relax, and finally be able to live his life.
Sam and Tucker on the other hand....
Well, they had plenty of pent up rage, wits, and chaos inside their mind to become villains.
But they had one rule.
Never bring work home and to never involve Danny in any of their supervillain business.
Okay that's technically two rules, but they're kind of synonymous especially since Danny has been taking care of their house while also entertaining himself with trying new hobbies.
Tucker and Sam both make sure that they never bring any of their villainy home to Danny, because all they want is for Danny to enjoy his happy hero retirement.
And Danny in turn, doesn't bat an eye when watching the news and seeing that there were magical plants that were attacking sites that oil companies were digging or that somehow Lex Luthor had lost five hundred million dollars and had somehow leaked records showing he was building weapons of mass destruction.
He also doesn't bat an eye when he sees that Tucker had brought home a telescope that definitely looks like it came from some fancy lab because hey, Tucker was making him an observatory so he can look at the stars and planets. While also how they were able to make a great gaming pc with computer parts that are definitely not sold in stores, because hey at least the newest update of Doomed wasn't lagging.
Or that Sam comes home with various plants and animals that are definitely not from planet earth, but hey the three headed wolf-lizard-eagle- hybrid thing (that Danny has affectionately named Fluffy) is pretty great at keeping the pests away from his vegetable garden and likes to eat any of Danny's new food creations and is a great playmate for Cujo.
So you can imagine how the Justice League thinks when dealing with the pair of new villains: Upload (Tucker) and Sam (I could not think of a villain name that would suit her, so it's up to you what you think her villain name would be)
And how they were currently wreaking havoc in the city either by cyber warfare with robots or by magic plant monster or a Frankenstein of both approaches. The heroes had all evacuated the civilians from the battle zone and are currently fighting a losing battle. When they've been effectively captured and restrained by the two. Right before the villains could go into a monologue, they hear a person clearing their throat.
Everybody looks to see a 25 year old man wearing a sweater vest (he made it himself, thank you very much) currently holding onto the leash of a giant glowing green dog and some kind of giant animal hybrid. The man's arms were crossed and was currently not sporting a very happy look on his face.
Tucker and Sam (looking at Danny with hesitant smiles): Hi honey.
Danny (frowning): you missed our anniversary dinner.
Tucker and Sam both pale as they quickly realized what the date and time was.
The league all watch as Sam and Tucker immediately start apologizing to the man that just walked into a battle zone.
Danny (still frowning): Hmph! I guess since you two didn't want dinner you can go back to your little fight. Don't expect me to make you any lunches for the next month, and since you two are having so much fun here, you'll be sleeping by yourselves for the next couple weeks.
The league all watch as they were let go as Sam and Tucker yell as they run after Danny yelling apologies as he was walking away from them.
This is not the last they see of Danny.
When Danny is displeased with either of his partners, he'll invite a hero over to have lunch of afternoon tea.
#dp x dc#dp x dc au#dp x dc crossover#danny phantom x dc#dpxdc#I'd think that Flash would be the one that Danny has tea/lunch with the most because that guy wouldn't turn down good food#And Danny is a really good cook#especially since the food doesn't come to life and try to stab him#Sam and Tucker be entering their home and then they see Captain Marvel there eating cookies because Danny offered them to him#dpxjustice league#dp x justice league#dp x dc prompt

Him (Them)
( So I decided 'fuck it' pitch pearl babyyy, I've seen other people do this ship and decided well why the hell not right. Anyways have fun!)
~
Phantom and his council were finally in the end processes to a peace treaty with Earth,
As years went on from what was once only the USA with their Ecto-Acts got worse. The GIW began opening in other countries without them truly realizing what they were allowing, until the Infinity Realms were at the point of declaring war on all of Earth itself.
The only reason that managed not to happen was because of Phantom finally being able to contact the Justice League and sit them down to have an actual conversation about everything that was going on.
That's where they were right now the world leaders, the 3 founders of the JL , and High King Phantom with his council arguing back and forth the peace treaty.
Phantom turned as one of the men stood up
" And just how are we supposed to truly trust you and yours to not take over or cause harm to our people?"
Others began chiming in, arguing that there was no true guarantee in what Phantom was saying.
Until a voice towards the back called out an idea
" Marriage! To truly unite our worlds in peace King Phantom must marry one of our own!"
Phantom subtly tensed the idea of a loveless marriage to a complete stranger made his core tremble with rage.
He glanced around seeing the looks of the people around him, he saw their greed for his power and status, their point for the marriage would be to control him or at least give them an advantage.
Phantom tuned out the arguing between the JL and the rest.
Thinking of what to say to get out of this situation without risking the treaty.
Snapping back to attention holding back a sharp smirk.
" Gentlemen if what you fear is the safety of your people then do not fret I have protected and saved your people and world since my creation, as for your request of a marriage to unify our world then I have wonderful news for I am already married to one of your people and even have children with him."
Phantom looked at the shocked faces around him, a couple grimacing or frowning at their missed opportunity to have control and access to him by one of their chosen.
A rather stupid man for what else could he be with what he said next.
" Then divorce him and marry someone that we find more suitable!"
Phantom's form distorted around him as he processed what he had just heard.
" Divorce? You wish for me to Divorce my husband, the one who I cherish above all else, the one I have shared my core the very being of myself with. The one who I gave my very being and soul to create our children. The one who is half my being, the one who if not for him we wouldn't be speaking at this moment because it was only his word that kept me from declaring war on your world."
"Make no mistake I do wish for peace between our worlds, many of my people are from this world and would like to continue to stay or visit especially for their loved ones, and I would like that for them without the danger of being hunted and torn apart."
"For if I wished war your planet would not stand a chance for what is a few million of your soldiers compared to my infinite soldiers that only would continue to grow as yours died."
"For him I fought and won against the previous tyrant King for daring to to cause him pain, the very King who only was defeated previously by the combined efforts of the strongest in the Infinite Realms, The very same King I defeated alone."
"So please do continue talking against my husband."
"..."
"What is his name?"
"Danny Fenton."
