Please Those Two Guys Kissing As Soon As The Camera Panned On Them During The Habemus Papam Celebration...

I hope no one takes any pope posting I may do as me supporting this guy or the catholic church. I think american pope is a rancid idea. but chicago pope is also the funniest thing I've ever heard

WIP - trying out some other brushes 🥸

Sketches based on my latest chapter of Oh good God, let me give you my life (which you can find here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65218507 )

Mom won’t let me watch conclave again (for the third time today) ((autism)) so we’re watching the two popes instead,,, bc I’m not sure what I feel about Leo XIV

I like to think that every new member of the enterprise developes a crush on Spock. Like to the point where it's considered a phase of adjusting to life on the enterprise. The newest crewman comes into the rec room like "Guys! How awesome is our Science Officer? He's so smart and mysterious! His ears are so cool!" And everyone else just laughs and is all "Welcome to the Enterprise newbie!"

enough about real life, back to baby

I'm writing that story where Spock has to struggle with a devastating and overwhelming crush on McCoy, while his childhood bullies are on the ship and it's so much fun. The characterisations I've come up with for the bullies kind of rule ngl and like not to brag but they make sense as bullies. Especially cos a feature of it is that McCoy doesn't clock the bullying so Spock is devastated. But like, they're interesting and friendly and more affable than Spock and all their bullying is very Vulcan so a human wouldn't notice it.

Like, one of them doesn't say the call and response for live long and prosper correctly which is super rude of him but what he says is also polite so the humans in the room don't clock it but Spock is just writhing in discomfort from the insult.

This is great and I think I should bully my characters more

And I got a great late reveal idea for one of them that's not a twist exactly but is a cool canon tie in that I'm really looking forward to. And it makes her mindless dislike of Spock make sense in the world, even tho it's obviously not reasonable. At least she's consistent lol

Spock's gonna have a terrible time in this story. McCoys already upset with him before the Vulcan bullies board.

I'm used to writing whump where it's physical injury, but emotional injury is a lot of fun. And I don't have to research healing times or allow for a character being a medical doctor! I can just keep piling the next thing on til he cracks!
