some Pike and Spock eyes because I have many feels about SNW, painted from screencaps of the scene in ep2 where they're talking about Pike's future premonition

lol, I had Thoughts about this.

tl;dr you will never convince me that unintended pregnancy is still a thing in an idealized future 200 years from now. Carol wanted that kid & she persuaded Jim to let her have him.

Modern trek really poses the question, what in the hell were Carol Marcus and Jim Kirk thinking?

I know I covered it a bit in my other posts. But like....

This is the 2200s. Abortion is legal. Jim and Carol both had ample time to discover the pregnancy. They both knew beforehand that neither Jim or Carol would give up their own career for the other. Carol did not want to raise a son in Kirk's shadow, or one that would endanger himself like Jim would. So.... why????

I can only imagine Carol wanted to keep the baby, in spite of what she knew. And Jim's options would be what? Quit starfleet and stay with Carol? Which is kind of a none option, and I doubt one Carol raised because they both knew each other and loved each other even if they weren't completely compatible.

Then we come to Jim, who is now faced with the option of saying no to Carol keeping the baby (Which would be a valid option, because I'd imagine it would be as simple as taking a pill with no ill effects at that point) But Jim doesn't do that either. Whether he wants the baby for himself (in a existential kind of way) or for Carol, because she asked him, I don't know.

I do wonder if it keeps him up at night though. And whether sometimes he regrets to agreeing and not getting to see David.

^^ this.

Her feelings for him are complicated from the start: a professional relationship, attraction, friendship, something that seems like love but isn't. His feelings for her are a result of the emotional turmoil that (I assert) is a part of his growing process. By TOS, he's matured past such volatility. He's not the man he was when their friendship began; that relationship can never be quite the same as it was. I imagine she misses that, and that her continued care for him intensifies when she's feeling vulnerable.

Okay, Imma keep this thought on pause, but I believe Spock and Chapel will make amends with each other in SNW. Will it be awkward at first? Yes. Will their friendship be the same as before? Probably not, but as stiff as Spock and Chapel's relationship is in TOS, it's not none existent.

And I believe, though I can't quite remember right now, mostly the romantic portion of Chapel's feelings for Spock come out in emotionally amplified situations. Like... she was still engaged to Korby all through out, and she still felt that way about Spock.

I figure her feelings on Spock will be more turbulent. Something that comes back when she's feeling low, or Spock's in danger, and she remembers what they had, and mourns. Is it healthy? No. But I get it.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

This is my new favorite picture of all time.

I couldn't find the source, but I don't know how Insta stories work so I guess that's not surprising.
