my chester and norris designs for the magnus protocol that i TOTALLY didn’t put on artfight and you TOTALLY shouldn’t draw. they’re in love btw

”Gerard would get along with Tim if he worked in the archives” “Gerard would get along with Sasha if he worked in the archives” okay both are true but let’s consider. Imagine Gerard, recently traumatised in All The Ways but coping as well as he can be. Just trying to get through life. Doing his job. Then finding out one of his coworkers is a six foot tall human teddy bear who can barely figure out the filing system, let alone how to do his job. He keeps committing crimes for their boss, he records his poetry on tape recorders for the lo-fi charm, he walks around in his underpants. Scared of his own shadow and clearly a haver of mother issues. And he makes good tea. Anyways, this all to say Gerry would be ten toes down for Martin at all times. That’s his homie. His buddy. No romance involved, they’re just Mates. Martin would be terrified of Gerry at first (scary goth man from multiple statements with a history of being spooky as fuck) but I reckon they’d get along like a house on fire. And also Gerry would defend Martin at all times whether it makes sense or not. Doesn’t know how to do his job? Rants about how important spiders are for the environment? Steals co2 canisters? Leave him be he’s fine. Shut up Jon.

the biggest problem with tos’ episodic format is that the episode usually ends pretty quickly after the conflict resolves and then they never really talk about it again - no matter how intense or harrowing it was

which means that we don’t get to actually *see* the interpersonal fallout of bones being diagnosed with and cured from a previously-incurable terminal illness (that he didn’t even want to tell jim and spock he had), and then just four episodes later drugging them so that he can go be tortured (and likely die) instead of spock, and so jim doesn’t have to make the choice between them.

did they talk about it? beyond just a standard debrief and a “never fucking do that again bones i swear to god i mean it this time”? did they make it the captains’ quarters for the debrief, only for mccoy to be pulled into a crushing, trembling hug as soon as the door shut while jim tried to assure himself that bones was still here, was still breathing? spock hovering nearby - a hand gently coming to rest on his shoulder?

why didn’t mccoy want to tell them about the xenopolycythemia, anyways? to try and hold onto a few more normal-ish months before every time they looked at him their eyes would be filled with grief - mourning a man they hadn’t yet lost? the same reason he ran away; to spare them what he went through with his father?

only for him to immediately turn around and throw himself back to the wolves to (almost) die right in front of them anyways

i don’t really know how they handled it. whether they talked about it and attempted to soothe the hurt, or just resolutely tried to bottle it up.

but i do know this: spock eventually came back from gol because jim simply (though accidentally) called out for him in a moment of need. bones only came back because jim personally drafted him back into starfleet

This scene is brilliant, because you can see how desperately Jim is trying to get Spock to show an ounce of affection, and then he is frustrated of something he should not have expected of Spock in the first place. Not that he blames Spock, yet he is sure this is anything to either of them but some mutual advantage; his tone softens gradually, because he doesn’t want Spock to be made to do or say anything for his sake, something only Jim wishes to hear. It’s been a while, and here they are, both very well aware of the fact that Spock chose to abandon Kolinahr, which gives Jim every right to demand attention from Spock regardless of how little that might be. Perhaps it is too much to ask of him anyways, and he is making peace with it knowing this is how Spock has always been. Spock knows. This is what’s killing Jim. Is there anything else? No. Not unless he wants it to be. He’s here and that’s all that matters, and yet Jim can’t shake the feeling that Spock is deliberately holding back what he’s really feeling at the moment. They’ve spent too long together and have been too close to each other than for him not to notice Spock is shutting him out. And even so, he still chooses to be patient. The last thing he wants is to push it. He longs for Spock, yet selflessly so. He also knows that this is just as hard on Spock as it is on him.

Hey wouldn't it be fucked up if the pictures of colin's face that were printed out were like a stop motion of him banging against the screen begging for help? Wouldn't that be emotionally devastating? Anyway.
