“I DONT CARE ABOUT NIMOY AND FUCKFACE”

this post is too loud

Neil Gaiman's favorite trope

Spock and Sherlock Holmes are the same brand of “this character has been around for SO long and basically everyone agrees they’re gay or at least some flavor of queer. so much so that they’ve impacted the minds and hearts of GENERATIONS of queer people but for some reason, no matter how many adaptions and spin offs we get in the years since the original work, no one making the official work has had the guts to say it officially ”

5.64%,,, not quite at the gaiman level but i can’t say that i’m upset with my score

I got the Top 4.47% on this English Vocabulary test

i got both!

Reblog if you got the Dan and Phil autism instead of the maths one

"that kiss was awkward" "it has a bad angle" "they look so off" my brothers in christ they are two emotionally repressed middle aged men who had never known what romantic love is, did you think they would immediately be experts at making out 😭😭😭😭 this is actually perfect 😭🙏🏼🏴‍☠️

Netflix make dead boy detectives season 2 happen pretty please

While we like to joke about Izzy being in the wrong genre, I would argue that there are in fact at least five distinct genre universes in the world of Our Flag Means Death, and all of them have different rules.

Stede Bonnet, and his crew when they’re around him, live in a Muppet movie. I didn’t come up with this analogy but it’s so accurate. Insane physical comedy and comedy-action where no one really gets hurt. Mild peril but you know everything is gonna work out. Terrible puns and sight gags, but room for sweet, genuine emotional moments too. The rules of time, space, probability and logic will bend for a good joke.

Izzy Hands is in a grimdark action/drama where if someone gets stabbed in the gut they will behave normally and fucking die. (Probably slowly and painfully, of sepsis.) Crucially I think Izzy also lives in a genre where you can only be subtextually queer, and violence (done for or with or to each other) is the only acceptable form of intimacy between men. This is why being forcibly dragged into Stede’s world, where everyone is busy having silly low-stakes misadventures and being gay and emotionally available all over the main text–and seeing his Subtextual Boyfriend go into this world and love it–sends him round the twist.

The British, Spanish and other imperialist militaries are in a Master and Commander-style naval adventure where they’re the heroes. This is why they all take it completely seriously when Stede (unintentionally) kills Badminton and takes hostages, even though we can see that he bumbled his way into it ass-backwards. This is also why Stede is so shocked to get actually for real stabbed aboard the Spanish ship. (“Did you mean to do that?”) He didn’t realize until that moment that he’d stepped into a different genre. The stabbing is one of the first Surprise Genre Switch moments we get and in retrospect it’s very important for setting up that in this world, the threat of getting hurt or killed is very real–which we need to understand to know that there are real stakes much later, when Stede almost gets executed by the British.

Mazzy's Log: 41525.12 (Very Important)

Hi all, it's been quite a while since I've made a log, but this time it's very important. I've been debating with myself on when to send this out but I figured now or never because it's never easy talking about this.

At the time I'm writing this, I have been enlisted in the United States Marine Corps for 4 weeks. I have been dedicating myself to writing, creating fan graphics, reading fanfics, and enjoying the friends I have made in fandom as much as possible before my ship date: May 5th. I was entered into the Delayed Entry Program so I could physically and mentally ready myself to become a Marine and make something honorable of myself, hence why I haven't been quite as active "creatively" as I'd like to be -- writing fics, creating album covers, etc.

After I ship, I will have absolutely no contact with the outside world for 13 weeks straight. 91 days. Three months. Except for letters to friends and family. Afterwards will come ten days of boot leave before my orders are given. I don't entirely know what exactly the military will have in store for me, but it's quite likely I will be active even less so than I currently am and it pains me so because you've all been so wonderful. I love the idea of being in the Trek fandom while on active duty and serving as an example of what Trek has done for people and providing some insight to military life since the show is based off of the rank structure of officers in the Navy.

For the time being, I will do my best to get out a fic or two before I ship off. And hell, it'd be funny if I was doing a chaptered fic and came out with a new chapter after three months with an author's note going "hey, sorry, I was at Marine bootcamp anyway here's Kirk and Spock making out".

While I'm gone after May 5th, please feel free to send fun stuff in my ask box so I can have something to look forward to when I come home and open my laptop. Just to like, keep the blog alive or something. It's a weird sentimental thing with me, haha. It can be anything: fics, fanart, Star Trek news, memes, even non-Star Trek stuff, just have fun with it. Obviously, no sending hate or criticism for my decision to join the military, I've heard it all already.

I love you all. LLAP.

With vermillion love, MAZARINE A.S.C.

guys michael is losing pleaseee help me fix this ily mads but MICHAELLLLL DONT LEAVE ME HERE. MICHAELLL. MICHAELLLLLLLL.

Sexiest Old Man Tournament: FINALS!

It all comes down to this... Who is hotter!?

“Well that’s probably not good. Jim thinks to himself, gulping.” - she spock my jim till i spirk

presenting... random titles in my google docs for star trek fics im writing (+ a line from the fic) without context

Jim blinked. “Spock, I’m not about to pimp you out to these guys.”

Uhura was the first to get it, eyebrows hiking up in delight and surprise. “Oh my god, Spock you dog!”

"Just what the hell are you doin' to him, Jim?"

"Nothing he didn't ask me to!"

McCoy rolled his eyes. “Oh please,” he scoffed. “Bring out your whips and chains and do your fucking worst. Really? That’s the bargaining chip you went for? Newsflash, moron, he’s not gonna—“

“You’re alright darlin’” The endearment slipped from his lips faster than he could process it. He tensed, waiting for a sharp retort. It never came. Instead, he felt Spock’s chest rumble slightly against his own, a deep thrum that made him bite his tongue to keep from laughing with glee when he realized where it was coming from. 

Spock was purring.
