Not too long after Captain Spock's miraculous resurrection, Montgomery Scott approached the freshly-demoted Captain Kirk, PADD in hand.

"What's this?" the Captain asked, taking it.

"It's a wee schematic I was hopin' you'd approve, sir. For the Enterprise," Scotty said. He tried not to look too evasive, but acting was never one of his strong suits, and Kirk had long since grown wise to his tells, so he wasn't terribly optimistic.

Sure enough, "I can see that, Scotty," Kirk said, raising both his eyebrows in mild amusement. "I'd like to know what it's for."

For a moment, Scotty was silent, debating how to broach the topic. The Captain was much improved now, after Spock's return (and the return of the bulk of his memory), but for a while there-

Well.

Scotty could understand how the death of a husband could tear someone to pieces. The wound was still raw; too recent and too fresh. That kind of grief didn't just up and disappear, even if the cause for it did. It lingered. If one paid attention - as the crew of the Enterprise did - it was easy to catch the deep weariness that crept into Kirk's eyes when he thought no one was looking, or the way he tensed up every time Spock was out of sight.

He'd been avoiding Engineering, too.

Scotty could understand. Sometimes, he wanted to, too, when the memories rose too close to the surface. So many good officers had died down there over the years, and Captain Spock was the best of them all.

Still, as sensitive as the subject may be, this was important.

"It's a proposal for changes to the warp core," he said. He kept his voice steady, hoping it would keep Kirk steady, too. "To make it safer."

For a moment, the Captain just stared at him, a tangle of emotion just barely visible past that mask of command he so often wore.

"This-" Kirk's voice wavered, and he swallowed before continuing. "This is... for Spock?"

"Aye, sir," Scotty said. He'd started work on it the very night of the Captain's death. "No one will e'er have to suffer the same fate. The fact that it happened in the first place-" Scotty shook his head, mournful. "I could hardly forgive myself. I should 'ave seen the risk."

"Scotty," Kirk breathed, "this is..." Awe and gratitude filled his face as he paged through the files on the PADD. His gaze snapped upwards, meeting Scotty's. "Approved, Captain," he said, clapping Scotty warmly on the shoulder. "And... thank you."

If the Captain's eyes were brimming with unshed tears, Scotty politely ignored them.

"Aye, Captain," he said, beaming widely, then went to get started.

something hilariously funny to me about the idea of taro Kagami existing in the main death note universe. Imagining an adult taro now at peace with the trauma he dealt with and calm in the fact that now at least (probably) no one else will have to carry this enormous burden that nearly wrecked him as a child… then hundreds of criminals drop dead of heart attacks and he’s just like DAMMIT.

Idk why I keep trying to play modded minecraft when over and over again I constantly struggle to even enjoy any modpacks I try. Like, as much as people love to say that mods can make a better minecraft update than minecraft, I find myself enjoying vanilla minecraft more than mods because EVEN on EASY most these mods are unbelievably unbalanced, difficult, and confusing. They don't tell you how to do anything in 99% of them if they do then good luck having your inventory full of books with useless information that don't teach you any of the basics. The "better biome" mods usually create biomes that I struggle to settle down in because majority of them are either normal hilly or just...it's just a lot of flat land you guys. There's usually no crazy interesting generation that makes me think "Oh! I want to live here!" fsr a lot of them feel like Plains biomes or forest biomes with different trees and flowers. Most these mods have no wikis and when they do have wikis it's stupid fandom wikis with barely any useful information so good luck finding out how to use an item or craft something if the JEI mod decides to break and not show you the crafting recipe! Not to mention most modpacks add over 200 mods per pack which is a nightmare to navigate!

I want to enjoy modded minecraft so badly because some mods seem really fun but I can't create my own modpack because why the fuck are majority of mods poorly optimized to the point you need optimization mods to avoid your memory and CPU killing itself. I cant turn off certain mods in modpacks without SOMETHING breaking because the modpack decided it was going to hardwire the use of every mod into itself. I can't play with just one mod because most mods now-a-days see made to be used in modpacks so they don't change a enough of minecraft to be fun on their own. I can't enjoy mods as a casual player because it feels like they are all made for hardcore players and it drives me insane because I WANT TO HAVE FUN!!! I WANT TO PLAY FUN MODS LIKE I USED TO!!! But majority of mods are not made for me and I have no idea how to fucking find the ones that are because the two most popular mod apps (Modrinth and CurseForge) are a struggle to look for modpacks on. I'm tired of being told that modded minecraft is so much better than vanilla and then not even being able to play half the modpacks because something broke and the game keeps crashing or lagging or it decides to crash my computer for some god forsaken reason (and yes i have a gaming computer so it quite literally cannot be me)
