#snw is predictable tbh

001 - la'an/jim

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when I started shipping it if I did: Funny story. When they announced the characters for SNW, I haven't watched TWOK yet, and for some reason I thought that the connection Khan has is with Spock. (STID made me think that, but idk if it's actually accurate, I've seen it only once). And so even though I expected Spock to be paired with either Chapel, Uhura, or Leila, I was also wondering if they wouldn't pair him with La'an because of that Khan connection (and it's not like there weren't scenes in season one supporting that). Basically ever since them announcing La'an, I expected her to be a love interest. Then I saw the finale of s1 and La'an served with Kirk, and I went !!, and around this time I also understood that the Khan connection is actually to Kirk, and I also finally watched the TOS movies a bit later. And to kind of prepare myself for a Kirk romance (even though I hoped for Kirk/Carol so much), I was like, ok, Kirk/La'an, I'm gonna commit (I even created a whole AU where Kirk just stays the Farragut captain, and McCoy and T'Pring are there too. The only fic I've written for it is mckirk-ish tho). It was all for fun, because tbh, I thought it was silly to create a character just to romance her with Kirk because "haha Khan funny". Well........ well, then the first trailer for season 2 dropped and I was like kshfjsdhfjdhsjgkhsdjkhgjk so uhm, yeah. I already went into s2 being deeply into Kirk/La'an, and it just delivered.

my thoughts: <3<3<3

What makes me happy about them: They can both be vulnerable with each other.

What makes me sad about them: The future, mainly.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I don't really read fics for them... but what annoys me is how people treat Carol (or rather Kirk’s thoughts toward her)

things I look for in fanfic: Things I would look for would be how the two of them slowly change each other, how La'an would become more relaxed and open, and how Kirk would also learn to be without his mask and pretenses and bravado more often.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: tbh? anyone who isn't Spock LMAO for both, yes

My happily ever after for them: the Farragut AU. Would take a bit of convincing for them to date as a captain and his FO, but it'd happen (in my 'verse anyway)

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Kirk/La'an

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: this is something I need to think about. I haven't come up with something "them" to do in their free time, except stuff related to their duty lol

strange new worlds

send me a tv show/book/fandom and i’ll say the top 5 things i’d change about it

Stop. Having. TOS. Characters. I'm not even joking. Like fine okay, you have Spock established. That's fine. I'm not the biggest fan of how the actor plays him but whatever. But having Uhura be there was???? I love Uhura but it just doesn't make sense when she should still be at the Academy. Also Chapel, I cannot stand the SNW version of Chapel. I get that everyone loves her but I've said it before and I'll say it again, shes the MCU version of Chapel. And my god that guy playing Kirk lacks charm. And now there's Scotty?? Just stop! Focus on your new characters! I don't want this!

I don't love the Gorn, like I get they need a bad guy and a war, I mean I guess, what's trek these days without a war but I'm so meh on the Gorn. I wouldn't want Klingons either tbh but the cold war with them going on would still make more sense and if you have to have something else then please just... do something else. All though this is my issue with most prequel things anyway given the limitations of the story.

The musical episode. It's one of the few of season two I watched and it was just so boring. Like talk about a let down. I'm a big fan of musical episodes but this was just dull.

Spock and Chapel and Spock and T'Pring. Having the latter be a very sexual relationship was...a choice. Having their be this weird sexual tension between Spock and Chapel was another choice. Like I get she likes him TOS but what you get in that def wasn't the build of what will be years of sexual tension like this show is predicting and saying it was. It's just bad. And takes up so much time of the episodes.

Honestly I don't have a five beyond the show as a whole. I don't like Enterprise because of things they have as a prequel that don't make sense and it's my same issue with SNW. I'm just not a prequel person. I think stories often suffer when you do prequels in part because again of the limitations the show must have. You can't have too much character development if you have to have the character end a certain way or a plot if fixed on a certain point. I know I'm just picky but that's where my stance has always lay.

snw thots time

 ok let’s get the big ones out of the way

-STONN!! SYBOK!!!!!!! i mean. LMAOOOOOO sybok but also. omg!! hehe. more sibling shenaningans.

-anyway. p*ramount pls MUST WE see so much spock human kissing women?? and all that human heterosex stuff?? what are u trying to prove?? tbh suspicious he’s got the most het action when you got the obvious guy in pike? ???? what is happening. i would not pay for the subscription when paracunt plus comes to the uk but i feel like i deserve a refund anyway for being subjected to so much of... this??? ew. ew! lol

-and that performance kiss with chapel ummmm plato’s stepchildren hello? ?? i mean i KNOW star trek is mostly about continuity errors (and mens tits ofc) but ???? 

-WHERE’S UHURA?? WHERE’S HEMMER?

-anyway fake dr aspen captain angel???? ma’am (gender neutral) please??? *___* also funny AND predictable spock would bond with a queer goth bless him forcefully closeted boy. (also inch resting discussions abt identity!!)

ugh i suppose i could go on abt my dislike of what this series has done to spock so far and i don’t just mean the no homo-ing he just doesn’t feel right?? idk. disco spock was real. that’s how you do it. but this??? and it’s annoying it bothers me perhaps a bit too much (esp when it’s a spock centric episode) all the other stuff and the PEOPLE are sort of left in the background? pike and ortegas banter for example?? queen shit!!! i want to enjoy it Fully! and like. everything. the crew dynamics. i’m not paying enough attention for this stupid reason.

-honorary mention to pike’s pirate talk im-

blleereergh i think im done for now
