My third favorite musical of all time ❤

It’s crazy to me that people read Sherlock Holmes’ obsession with Irene Adler as romantic when it is so clearly the same kind of obsession that gay men have for Lady Gaga

spones where they served on the same ship for like two weeks years ago (mccoy's hitching a ride to his new posting, but the ship's cmo was sick/injured, and mccoy rolls up his sleeves and pitches in).

which is why he's the one that beams down when the landing crew needs immediate medical attention, and a second doctor is now injured planetside (this ship's medical crew are really going through it this week), and it's also how he ends up tossed unceremoniously in a prison cell with the deeply aggravating vulcan science officer that's been riding his ass all week.

a deeply aggravating vulcan science officer that appears to have been.....dosed.......with something......................

listen mccoy isn't opposed to a one-night stand, but the mind meld was a little.....that was new for him. but he agreed to it, and everything's fine, and he's probably never gonna see spock again, so it's—

years later, kirk notes, but doesn't voice, how suspicious it is that spock, who's Always got an opinion on staffing the crew, somehow has No Comment Whatsoever when doctor piper asks for a transfer, and kirk wants to bring his good pal and top doctor leonard mccoy on board.

mccoy is too excited about the drool-worthy sickbay to pay too much attention to anything else when he agrees to come aboard, so imagine his surprise when, standing at kirk's side in the transporter room, waiting to greet him, is his old flame

but it's fine—spock's not talking about it, so mccoy won't either, he's a grown man and can fully pretend they never had a thing, in fact it's probably better that way, because if kirk ever found out—

except then something's Wrong with spock, something to do with vulcan biology, and—

what a thing, to find out on the surface on vulcan, the heat so suffocating you can feel it in your bones, the air thin enough that you have to force yourself to breath steadily instead of gasping—

what a thing, to find out that the bond between t'pring and spock was frayed due to the bond he made with you, during that mind meld, during that one-night stand, in that little cell, in that strange moment so many years ago.

what a thing to think you're going to your old flame's wedding, and instead (because he never fucking tells you anything), you discover that you're here to force the issue of divorce, because (DESPITE THE FACT YOU'VE SERVED TOGETHER OVER A YEAR ON THE ENTERPRISE HE'S NEVER TOLD YOU) your bond supplanted the weak bond he and t'pring had been forced into in childhood.

WHAT A THING TO DISCOVER YOU'VE BEEN VULCAN MARRIED TO THIS PRICK FOR LIKE SIX YEARS NOW

very funny by the way if the ritual rolling around to the death still has to go forth, and kirk demands mccoy pick him as his champion because he doesn't want mccoy murdered and spock can't do it since in this scenario he's the "prize", not t'pring, so it's kirk and stonn (since t'pring can't pick kirk) rolling around in the dirt over spock (mccoy still saves the day with the hypo)

mccoy is having a very difficult day.

(spock, attempting to soothe his doctor, but in that fucking-with-him way that's his specialty, insists on paying homage to mccoy's heritage as well, by carrying him over the threshold when they're back on the ship

mccoy then has to treat spock's bruised ribs where mccoy instinctively elbowed him as hard as he could when spock grabbed him

spock still manages to carry mccoy over the threshold

kirk has photographic proof of it, alas)

Had a dream where Johnny from “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” came out as a trans woman and the response was so unanimously positive it reversed nearly all of the transphobic bills in the South. She played live in Georgia to an audience of about a third of the US.

i think the Meddling Monk should come back to Doctor Who but they shouldn't imply the existence of any like encounters with the Doctor since Daleks' Master Plan. he should just show up like WOW that was a real dick move stealing my directional control but i finally got a new one. time for round 3 asshole.

it’s so sad to see long running sci-fi franchises like star trek and star wars collapsing under the weight of their own nostalgia

There is a standard media depiction of a "healed" person. Someone who has Gone To Therapy. I've noticed this in a few works recently. We often see them at the end of a story, maybe in a "ten years later" epilogue. They speak in a soft, serene voice. They have Accepted what they cannot change. They have let go of a lot, including most of what we see them actually care about in the story itself. They are Happy, At Peace, in some non-descript way. They bare little resemble to the person we were actually shown. They bare little resemblance to any person. We were shown, as we usually are in stories, an agent, a desirer, someone becoming. Now they have Become. And they look back on all that silly becoming as something childish that they have moved past. Fire, you know, fire is for children who don't know any better. To be Healed is to have your fire rightly extinguished; to not even miss it.

ANYONE CAN WHISTLE IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS SEPTEMBER?????

[flibbertygigget]

I’ve decided to watch hot ones out of curiosity and I’m not fully convinced that most of these celebrities know how they got there

[flibbertygigget]

genuinely curious because i grew up in south florida and genuinely did not see snow until my late 20s for the first time. if you wanna put where you're from in the tags, that'd be cool too!
