Does Anyone Ever Wonder If, After Hearing Julian Go On About Tennis And Medicine, Jadzia Go On About

I've yet to watch aos but honestly as a spirk shipper idrc abt spuhura cause for some reason star trek writers are obsessed with making Spock this bad boy, ladies man of sorts so whateverrr BUT from what I've seen aos just messed up uhura as a character in generalll! It's why I don't wanna watch aos like from what I've seen tos the show made in the 60s gave her more personality and whimsey etc than her 09 counterpart...

Iike ik 09 was the year where "Haha overly srs women in a group of boys" was the IT trope but cmon... don't do my girl dirty like that💔

Ramblings about Spuhura in AOS (this got a bit long)

I thought I didn't really mind Spuhura in AOS, but I think it really messes up the characterisation of Spock. They just didn't have a plan where to take that relationship. I feel like the extent to their thinking was well Uhura is hot and people will be surprised to see repressed Spock in a relationship, but they didn't want to flesh out her character. And they (rightfully) made Kirk and Spock have the most important relationship in the movies, so Uhura is supposed to be important to Spock, but we rarely feel the weight of that.

So in the end Spock kind of looks like a bad boyfriend, because his most important emotional scenes, the moments he loses his control are all with Kirk. Which is great because it reinforces Spirk, but Uhura just stays an afterthought and they could have done so much more with her character. I saw this interview where Zoe Saldana seemed glad that Uhura and Spock had broken up in Beyond because he had been her teacher and maybe she had outgrown that relationship. I mean even the actor thought more about this than the filmmakers!

And how does it reflect on Spock that he chose a relationship with his student? I know me too hadn't happened in 2009, but in TOS in the 60s they managed to make Kirk a compelling character by making him not sleep with his subordinates. And showing this impossibility to find personal happiness at his job as a struggle for him. Which makes him likeable.

I think they didn't understand what the relationship between Kirk and Spock really symbolizes, how it outweighs every other connection. They just wanted to build on something that already existed and took it for granted.

And yes, this is an alternate universe, but if you reboot Kirk and Spock, it needs to be done right. And isn't the beauty of it all that Spock learns about emotions from Kirk, this open minded, kind hearted man, that does not judge him. And for that you need to have Spock start in a place of relative isolation. There are alternate universes and then there is misunderstanding characters to a point you are losing their essence.

They're always getting thrown around like basket balls😭

it ain’t easy. (100% inspired by this lmfao)

The skrunkles!!

scene from near the end of ch 233 :] it's Such a cute scene

Post-canon wangxian to me are basically unofficial rougue cultivators, like yeah lwj hasn't defected, but he's only ever at gusu every like once a 6 months; Lqr is worried that one day Lwj is gonna leave and never come back (That's not true though, Lwj needs that sect money to spoil his husband)

Vulcans would be distressed at the state of modern slang😭😭

Random ensign 1000: Wow thanks for helping me Mr, Spock! You're the GOAT!

Spock: I am not a goat.

A strong start. 

Lwj totally learned how to draw throughout the 13 years just so he could preserve the true image of wwx :)

(Also ahhh I love this freckled wwx my love)

A smile most cherished

I didn't see the text and I lowkery thought this was some yuri leoya/aprilnardo art😭😭

Tryna show how April’s jealousy is just under the surface… through g-swap form so I can have an excuse to draw guy Koya…

When your girl has a guy friend that’s cooler than you by default….

Kirk being the exception in everything for Spock in this book is absolutely crushing.

Spoilers for The Entropy Effect:

Early on they establish that Spock maintains a strict distance from his other crewmates, and other beings in general as being a touch telepath means he has to maintain shields against their emotions and thoughts. Braithewaite shaking his hand is such a faux pas because of this, Vulcans are known to be touch telepaths and he should know better! Kirk and Spock are both irked by the gesture to the point that Kirk notices Spock is giving Braithewaite a hard time (politely).

Kirk is shot on the bridge and without a second thought Spock is there, already trying to staunch the bleeding, holding Kirk in his arms (using his first name a lot too…) and drops literally every shield he has. They’re so entwined that even dying Kirk recognizes that Spock’s going to follow him into death.

After Kirk’s death, Spock is in charge of the Enterprise as it was Kirk’s last request that he take care of his ship, but Spock’s already planning on transferring off as soon as possible- it doesn’t occur to him that he could stay there under a different captain, which would be the most logical course of action. Jim’s death ends that part of Spock’s life that takes place on the Enterprise.

Im not blaming jiang cheng😭 but considering the whole thing and him knowing how much she loves wwx I feel like his overprotectiveness would kick in if yk what I mean!

I'm not sure if it was ever brought up in any of the mdzs iterations (it's been a while since I've read/watched mdzs) but how the hell did yanli even enter the battle field?

Like you're telling me no one thought to atleast send gaurds to protect this women who oh so recently gave birth recently WIDOWED literally talk of the town KNOWN for loving her family?

Like jiang cheng atleast should've thought about having someone look after her?
