#AOS Khan

[bluesakura007]

I've noticed that Khan from Star Trek Into Darkness and Neo look seriously similar in terms of dress sense - at least in the first movie in Neo's case - and physique, and even hair colours and styles, plus they're both highly powerful sci-fi-action men with superhuman abilities that are visually stunning to watch. It seems that I have a type when it comes to my most-loved fandom blorbos lmao, because the Matrix franchise is now my #1 fandom as of these last two years but my next-favourite movie is STID, making Khan very nearly equal to Neo for me in terms of how much I love them. 💙

I mean yeah there's the contrast of Neo being a true cinnamon roll while Khan's outwardly a lot more aloof, and Neo's the hero while Khan's an antagonist (although he does have quite a sympathetic motive and it's seen several times that he's actually not as ruthless as he seems), but the visual similarities are just something that hit me. The design of Khan's high-collared coat that he wears in his first scene even resembles Neo's Reloaded-onwards cassock!

AOS Round One

Admit it, Spock. For people like us, the journey itself… is home.

[a-most-beloved-fool]

y'know, a lot of people like to write possessive Spock in spirk fics, where he claims Jim as his own, but I kinda feel like he's less likely to say that Jim is his, and more likely to say that he is Jim's.

[highly-illogical]

the difference between TOS spock and AOS spock is that TOS spock is selective with his violence. he understands that it is necessary though he doesn’t enjoy it and will use the minimum amount required.

AOS spock will rock your shit and top your boyfriend

last night i watched into darkness w my friends and when kirk and spock were listening to khan yap abt his family in the torpedoes one of them was like they look like 14 year olds who are too nervous to actually hold hands so they just stand super close together and hope the other initiates it

for reference:

I'll never get over the fact that since SNW, we now know they are the two crew members of the TOS Enterprise who have known each other for the longest time-

How did Uhura feel when her best friend died in TWOK now I wonder...

The Kirk and Spock supercut

[dogwithapog]

so i've been slowly introducing my girlfriend to star trek tos. we're gonna watch twok soon, and i mentioned offhand the atrocious khan recast from into darkness. her reaction:

[agentoffangirling]

Kamala Khan and Daisy Johnson my beloved pair of "excited fangirl gets into way more than she expected and ends up getting traumatized far more than she ever needed to". They deserve betterrrrrr

[mccoysaccent]

whores the both of them

[cdr2002]

I feel like on a Spirk level Wrath of Khan and Into Darkness placing the prime and Kelvin versions of Kirk and Spock on opposite sides of the glass is actually kinda beautiful

Personally I’m a sucker for Old Married Spirk, and really movie-era Spirk in general. TWoK to TVH is top tier.

Round 2 of my ship bracket starts in the new year!
