It's wild to me that I had heard of the prime Kirk/Spock content in various TOS episodes long before I saw them, but had never heard of what IMO is the shippiest moment of all thus far, in an interestingly O_o goddamn I do not want whatever you two have but you do you?? holy shit though what a moment way.

I'm of course referring to the otherwise rather mid episode "Requiem for Methuselah," in which Kirk has an underwritten love affair with a clueless woman whose various secrets have to be discovered before her inevitable death.

At one point in this relationship, her.......uh, guardian??? sort of???????? had Spock play the piano while she and Kirk waltzed, which (in-story) Spock did perfectly while somehow managing to silently exude even more intensity than usual. After the plot (and her life) were over, we end not with the usual cheerful bit of snark on the bridge that ends most episodes, but with a weary Kirk falling asleep with his head on his arms and Spock hovering not for away. McCoy exposits the last bit of detail and then goes on an unprompted and honestly pretty viciously racist speech about how Spock, unlike Kirk, will never suffer from the joys and travails of love because of his inherent lack of feeling as a Vulcan. The speech is longer than usual and just really mean-spirited as McCoy waxes rhapsodic about all the aspects of passionate true love that Spock will not and cannot experience as a Vulcan before he just leaves.

Spock then turns to look at Kirk, and now just bleeding intensity, takes a few slow, deliberate steps towards the sleeping Kirk, lays his hand against Kirk's cheek and neck, and then very obviously mind melds with the sleeping Kirk while murmuring, "Forget."

Is this healthy respectful behavior that honors Kirk's autonomy? No, obviously. Is it god-tier repressed homoerotic passion between two people who should probably just work their issues out and stop inflicting themselves on anyone else? Yes.

being someone who has literally 0 interest in sleeping with anyone i'm not completely crushingly in love with is so annoying sometimes i really wish i could be somebody who can separate these things but i'm not at all and never will be. i do not experience desire in that way whatsoever no matter how hard i try otherwise

Another small peek into my sdv portrait mod in the works... plus a look at some of the sprite work i've been doing for it. Particuarly george's wheelchair and his face that's in a whole different style which has always been annoying to see but even moreso since I started using a wheelchair myself and have become more visibly disabled................ I guess i should just call this a visual overhaul for the characters at this point lmao

Sometimes I just remember that Jon canonically sleeps with his eyes open after being spookyfied and tho fanarts of jmart cuddling are adorable this is actually something he’ll never properly have with his creepy immovable all-seeing avatar body and yeah

Got possessed by the need to draw my doofy little solar eclipse couple, and now I’m making the restlessness of my brainworms your problem. Enjoy.

Despite waking at the crack of dawn, Shepherd is NOT a morning person. Not even remotely. Sure, he’ll get to work as soon as he wakes if he has to, but that’s out of necessity (and, besides, it’s drilled into him since childhood. The man couldn’t sleep in even if he wanted to. His internal clock won’t let him).

For the first hour or so of being awake, Shep won’t communicate very much outside of grunts and hums. He’s not much of a talker even when he’s completely awake, but even less so when his brain is still trying to process the mere fact that he exists. He’s always found with a full cup of coffee in his hand if it’s available (once, Sarnax watched him down his mug one moment, and refill it the next. He suggested just drinking out of the pot, with how much he drinks, but Shepherd argued that it was unsanitary and it’s communal coffee. Shepherd then proceeded to be the only one drinking from it anyway)

On the flip side, Clayton IS a morning person. And it annoys the ever-loving fuck out of Shepherd.
