#this is why the earth moon sun metaphor works for the triumvirate so much better than sun moon stars imo

it probably is insane how much I wish I could express the thing about spones. the vibes about spones. Like there's the joking fun fandom vibes and I love them, I love to play with them, of course of course. but the THING. the CORE to me. i wish i could capture it and share it.

#like. the constancy. like the friction matters because it's hand in hand with the steadfastness you know? and it doesn't preclude tenderness #also climbing into the mind of the person you've been obsessed with understanding and being understood by. #and the fact that it's lifelong. and the teasing. and the fact that the growth is in the allowance of imperfections #allowing that imperfections exist in who you love allows you to love them allows you to love yourself #and i always love people knowing what you believe and bolstering it when you feel lost even when it's not their philosophy #(bones asking spock hope? isn't that a human failing? and him not allowing that #spock losing himself to emotion in all our yesterdays and bones reminding him how antithetical that is to him) #but even with all that seriousness - the TEASING. the plain fun. the constant reaching out regardless of their moods #the constant seeking each other out. the almost - given nature of the relationship. #it's not in some ways as dramatic as a Simple Feeling as the When I Think of You I Feel Shame. #it's bones growing into old age the human way one day at a time with spock #when people are like oh spock just put his katra in him because he was there - yeah. and he was always going to be the one who was there #this is why the earth moon sun metaphor works for the triumvirate so much better than sun moon stars imo #bones is the earth spock is the moon kirk is the sun #'the captain was indispensable' #the sun - a distant lifegiver to them and many others. they do revolve around it. have unique relationships to it #the earth revolutes the sun which brings it life. the moon has a face it only shows the sun #and the moon revolutes the earth. their gravity shapes each other. they reach out to each other. they formed in a collision outward #in some ways are entirely different but have the same stuff in them. spin the same. #idk it just makes so much sense for them all. #but even just getting back to them. again just the obsession with each others mind. #'i will never understand the medical mind' 'mathematically perfect brainwaves' #and then complimenting each other always so startlingly out of the blue with their own fields - #'you have a good bedside manner spock' 'perhaps if they had your ingenuity they would have' #the seeking each other's advice out even if it's just to argue with it lmao. the motif of their last words always going to each other #even wrath of khan - we know spock was talking to bones in his head. i do always wonder what was in their tsfs reunion scene #that shatner didn't want to happen. #I don't know and even this isn't the heart of it. #there's the families and the way they fit into each other's conception and value and weight of family #do i even tag this spones. this is just crazy rambling.
