Unicorns

I saw your recent response to the question concerning the supposed romance between Spock and Kirk. And you said that we would never know unless Gene Roddenberry rose from the grave. As compelling as your argument was I just never got that vibe from The Original Series. I have always felt that Gene's ideas were groundbreaking and revolutionary. I think that if Gene meant there to be a gay couple he would have had the balls to write it right out. Then again it was a different time. Love your blog!

but like

he did have the balls to write it

The origin of t’hy’la: Gene Roddenberry came up with the name in his novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The word “t’hy’la” is Vulcan and means ‘brother’, ‘friend’ and/or ‘lover’. The use of t’hy’la: "Jim! Goodbye, my…my t’hy’la. This is the last time I will permit myself to think of you or even your name again.""And on the bridge - Kirk! The mere name made Spock groan inwardly as he remembered what it had cost him to turn away from that welcome. T’hy’la!"

Roddenberry: “I definitely designed it as a love relationship… That was the relationship I tried to draw. I think I also tried to draw a feeling of belief that very few of us are complete unto ourselves. It’s quite a lovely thing… where two halves make a whole.”

Interviewer: “There’s a great deal of writing in the Star Trek movement which compares the relationship between Alexander and Hephaistion to the relationship between Kirk and Spock - focusing on the closeness of the friendship, the feeling that they would die for one another…”Roddenberry: “Yes, there’s certainly some of that - certainly with love overtones. Deep love. The only difference being, the Greek ideal - we never suggested in the series - physical love between the two. But it’s the - we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that, if that were the particular style of the 23rd century.”

we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that

we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that

11 years after the making of The Scarlet Pimpernel television series, these two share the screen again!!

i headcanon this straight couple as just being friends because platonic friendship is important

Lol this is true ♡

Ace Alastor Day 2 - Ace4Ace day (QP edition)

Alastor and Husker (prequel universe)

Takes place around 1990s

Husk is an overlord and so is Alastor

Neither interested in sex/romance (Husk is pan demi, Alastor is ace aro)

Work together on turf wars when needed

Drinking buddies

Alastor reads over Husk’s soul contracts to make sure they’re as airtight as possible

Husk helps “enforce” Alastor’s contracts when his souls try to muscle their way out of them

Alastor finds Husk’s gambling addiction to be a slight flaw that can be fixed over time; it eventually becomes the thing that pulls them apart

They don’t speak for about a decade, and then Alastor takes Husk’s soul

Husk is finally able to kick his gambling addiction because of this

I love Star Trek. That is all.

Day two of Shark Week - Shark Tank! (Prompts by @voxteks-sharkweek ! Love this concept!) They like watching the shark programming on the Discovery Channel, so Vox indulges them, standing with his silly lil flat screen against the glass for hours ❤️

What has them so intrigued this time do you think?

(I still suck at drawing, but this concept is adorable and I am rather proud of it!)
