#tos: amok time

My friend Kh (J's girlfriend) decided to bully him into watching her favorite version of P&P, the 2005, and obviously I was onboard for dragging him into watching Austen adaptations in general (so we can dissect them afterwards even if I hate them, which is fun for me, and I don't actually hate that one despite the hectic speedrun of the whole plot). And indeed, even after Kh went to bed, J had many opinions and we had a long discussion of social issues etc and ones that are retained from the novel and remain painfully relevant and others that feel wildly alienated from normal life.
But also, I'm having a really good time with the Kirk/Spock brainrot so




do you see the vision
#'not everything is about k/s' well not with that attitude#most of my otps are about each other at some level actually!#AND as someone on team 'darcy smiles throughout the book and is clever and dryly witty not humorless and brooding'#w/ bonus 'this and his real arrogance don't mean he isn't intensely socially uneasy in a wide range of situations#in a way that's easy to interpret in autistic spectrum terms for modern audiences esp autistic ones. no this doesn't deny his flaws'#AND on team 'spock doesn't actually embody emotionless reason or lack expression and humor in favor of cunty brooding or w/e#he's sharply intelligent and dryly witty and /does/ smile just more subtly and mostly at one(1) person namely james t kirk'#(hey remember when elizabeth is staring at darcy's smiling portrait - and it was probably his default expression at the time#given the pragmatics of portraiture at the time - and recognizes it as the smile he often directed at her personally#and mrs reynolds significantly says the portrait dates to his idolized father's lifetime as if e specifically brings out a happier time?)#and 'spock's unabashedly abrasive pride don't mean he isn't intensely socially uneasy in a wide range of situations#or that (like darcy) he doesn't genuinely misread social cues at times because of how his (yes brilliant) thinking works#in a way that's easy to interpret in autistic spectrum terms for modern audiences esp autistic ppl. no this doesn't deny his flaws'#WELL I'M JUST SAYING. *buries my grey-ace headcanons for both of them as well under the rug*#anghraine babbles#anghraine's pics#fitzwilliam darcy#spock#otp of otps#otp: closer than anyone in the universe#pride and prejudice 2005#tos: amok time#c: i object to intellect without discipline#austen blogging#star trek: the original series#rl: bff#rl: kh#rl#lady anne blogging

#why are they so in sync??? #it’s hypnotic to watch #they really do just operate on the same wavelengths more often than not #they actually have multiple scenes where they demonstrate synchronized movement #and I have to wonder if that was intentionally done by Shatner and Nimoy #or if it just came naturally #bc I doubt the script or director would have asked for that (via @alderaan-babe)
Right? They do it all the time—like the away team scenes where the team is sent in different directions except Spock, and the two of them stride off in sync with their shoulders brushing like bonded cats. And there's stuff like this little synchronized pivot at the end of (of course) "Amok Time":
youtube
The "on the same wavelength to an inimitable and nearly incomprehensible degree to other characters" dynamic is reinforced so much by the physical mannerisms of their entire bodies, not just faces and vocal performance. It's part of what really makes the ship to me.
(Despite all the Vulcan vs human mannerisms and complications, I really do feel that beneath the surface, Kirk/Spock is much more of a "birds of a feather" pairing than an "opposites attract" one.)
Obsessed with the way they move together
[s2 e15 - The Trouble with Tribbles]
#spock being the only person on the bridge in 'arena' who immediately realizes kirk is testing for potassium nitrate and why#and having to explain that kirk's reinventing gunpowder to make the bamboo bazooka to everyone else while murmuring 'yes...yes...'#they truly are two of a kind and it's just constantly reinforced by how they /move/ when they're together#(no it's not the aspect ratio#like there are a ton of scenes where they're in a crowd but they are moving together or all but connected at the hip w/ others at a distanc#plenty of wide shots with them framed together and mccoy or others placed further away. sometimes cinematography is on purpose!)#also hilarious that david gerrold directed such nuclear rage at k/s shippers and then the actual episode is like this a;jkdfj;kfd#credit where it's due to nimoy and shatner tbh#gif#spock#james t kirk#star trek: the original series#tos: s2#tos: the trouble with tribbles#c: who do i have to be#c: i object to intellect without discipline#otp: the premise#tos: amok time#long post#leonard nimoy#william shatner#star peace#Youtube#alderaan babe#respuestas#not my meta

on amok time again: they really did "spock experiences primal alien mating drive and murder fuck ritual," and didn't even play with "and this is an excuse to see our prim and proper mr spock get sensual with a lady!". like he expends ALL of his hot dominating fantasy uncontrollable lust rage energy ON KIRK. they wrote that and had ONE chance to make spock have any scandalous, carnal housewife jerk off material romance they wanted with any sexy space woman in the universe, and they chose kirk. when he does interact with a woman he throws a soup at her
#huge shoutout to theodore sturgeon#he knew what people wanted#ive oversimplified this point for laughs. they brush lightly against this idea in that one scene with chapel#but that is very wistful#he takes all his fuck rage out on kirk#star trek#star trek: the original series#tos#star trek tos#st: tos#amok time#im just saying shit people have already said before im sure#but like with amok time all i can do is sit around thinking about things that happened and being newly astonished by them#spirk#k/s#the premise#spock#kirk
