Apparently, back in the day, there was a really notorious tie in novel for Star Trek that had a lot of slash elements called Killing Time
The slash elements were requested to be removed by Paramount, and they were, BUT due to a mistake, the original was sent to print without the edits
When it was caught, theyā€™d printed 250k of this ā€œfirst editionā€ which subsequently became collectors items for Kirk/Spock fans, since later editions DID include the edits censoring the slash
NOW, I bring this up because my friend whoā€™s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause weā€™re slow on weekends and weā€™re the only ones here. She laughs at it, so I ask and she tells me about the general backstory of the book, and that she laughed because (among other things) Kirk, who doesnā€™t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right
So Iā€™m looking over her shoulder at the scene, commenting on the character changes that resemble modern fic-degradation of characterization for the sake of a shipping dynamic, when I realize something
Now, my only interaction with the Star Trek series directly was the 2009 reboot, and my friends hasnā€™t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As Iā€™m looking at this scene, and my friend is pointing out the character changes to Kirk, I realize that this is the fucking premise of the reboot, down to the fucking alternative timeline shenanigans, the rank swap, and Kirk being a hotheaded fuck up
The 2009 film was literally based on this slash fiction misprint they tried to bury!
Im reeling.
I canā€™t be the only one who made this connection.
So I google to see if anyone else has, and oh yes, good, there was someone
The fucking author of Killing Time
ā€¦I feel like Iā€™ve uncovered a conspiracy. Iā€™ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I canā€™t focus. The world must know.

my absolute favourite thing about the kirk and spock dynamic is that the whole time youā€™re watching the show spock is gaslighting you into thinking that kirk is this loose canon and spock is paragon of logic keeping his captain on the straight and narrow when its very clearly the other way round. aside from being turned on by everyone and fighting like an old-timey boxerā€¦. kirk is just like.. quite a logical, stable guy. like yeah he rules with his emotions but heā€™s rarely reckless or erratic, even in situations of immense pressure heā€™s always calm and measured. sure kirk is unhinged and insane, but we knew that right off the bat. spock on the other hand tries to hide how insanely balls to the walls crazy he is by standing next to jim and hiding all his derangement with logic. i think the reason bones beefs with spock so much because he is the only one who has noticed that spock is an absolutely unhinged individual. (jim is too busy doodling <3 mr jim spock <3 all over his briefings to notice)

Please someone redraw this with Dr. Ratio and Aventurine because this is the exact vibe they have in my head post-Penacony.

Memes shared by kids who grew up on starships I think they should have sea scout/land scout beef with kids that grew up on Starbases

Shout out to this specific genre of ships:

Mysterious girl with beautiful golden eyes and star motifs, and guy who is stoic (but is actually a gentle sweetheart with trauma, and is associated with the military in some way) and has a teal colour palette.
I will always eat this dynamic up.
