A Peach like you should Pear with me.

Damian Wayne should be aroace because he's got the vibe of like, a kid who scoffs at anything vaguely related to dating because he thinks it's gross and he's above all that and then all the adults go ohohoho you'll understand when you're older except Damian IS above all that and still thinks it's stupid even as an adult. Like when he's 13 he investigates a murder that turns out to have been a crime of passion and he's complaining about how stupid that is and Alfred's like you'll understand someday but fast forward 10 years and he's solved yet another murder that spun out of someone cheating on their partner and he's still like God you're so stupid all of this just because you couldn't keep it in your pants you're pathetic.

you can’t beg for queer rep in media, then get disappointed when that queer rep is aro/ace.

Miffy 1955

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, they’d printed 250k of this “first edition” 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 who’s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause we’re slow on weekends and we’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 doesn’t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right

So I’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 hasn’t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As I’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 can’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

…I feel like I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. I’ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I can’t focus. The world must know.
