uh oh! sad daneto art again 👁 👁
inspired by chapter 11 of this fanfiction by @overlyobsessed223
process work below the cut
Currently writing a fic post AOS Into Darkness where Jim wakes up at the end but instead of in the hospital is back at his first day at the academy with 3 years counting down to the events of the first movie.
Would anyone be interested in beta reading? The idea is that through his efforts he slowly becomes more like TOS Jim. Reach out, pls lmk, it’s in rough drafting right now and could use some eyes on it
So this isn't for a pairing I ever, EVER, thought I would ship, but it was late last night (like 3am, hence my being off my head today) and I fell down some AO3 hole, and jesus this is so well written and amazing. YOU SHOULD READ IT.
Two parts. AOS AU where Kirk leaves Starfleet to be an architect and ends up falling in love with Spock Prime. I opened it for a giggle, and just woosh. Brilliance.
Welp we survived another weekend here. The kids had sniffles Friday and by Saturday morning I felt like my soul had been shoved through a meat grinder 😬 I am now a functioning member of society once more but my partner is down for the count.
This weeks fan fic recommendation is Welcome to the Enterprise by IvanW.
Jim shakes Spock’s hand and accidentally bonds them. It’s got angst and chaos and reading it makes my heart sing. This is a work in progress so everyone should go and give Kudos and comments and help keep this wonderful author motivated. This story is soooo fun and Spock is just…. I want to shake the poor boy. He tries so hard and yet fails so hard.
The author has been working on this story for 4 years!!! They deserve so much love and I really hope you all agree 🖖
Sibling stuff (Mostly Brad) (Yeah Brad)
My friends called Kick a cat. It's their fault that this exist.

It was, however, slightly too loud for a grumpy alien with senses more sensitive than a human’s at 5:04.The stranger had spoken five words and done nothing but be bright and smiling and for some reason, this pissed Spock off. No one was allowed to be this way during this time of the day.

Kirk bod appreciation #6: The Curves. The Front. The…chest. AND THE AMAZING GREEN WRAP
Bread and Circuses. This…vision appears. The hips, again. You know that thing where you see a really nice curve on something, and it’s just…pleasing? It’s just…nice. There’s harmony in the world and it’s calming and right. It could be the s-curve of a car, or a meandering river viewed from 30,000 feet, or the simple arc of a leaf. Or Captain Kirk’s hourglass. Look at his lines. We celebrate this on the feminine form a lot, but masculine curves? This is where Kirk is wonderful. There’s this whole dance of masculine-feminine and what is masculine or feminine anyway? Who gets to define that? And look at the…chest. Look at those shadows from a distance. Aren’t they just. I mean seriously. And the pinnacle. The Tum™. The tum is very important, and important that we stand up to the people who put him down for The Thicc, and say back the heck up here. Back right up. How DARE you. Let’s just all take a moment to love this bod, and love anyone who has this kind of bod, you are lovely and perfect.
Let’s talk about this wrap now. This wrap is brilliant. The wrap is one of the greatest items of clothing from the 20th/23rd century. Look at how this is the absolute perfect thing to dress this man in. Look how flattering it is, how it shows off all his beautiful things. Thank you, William Ware Theiss, for this legacy. The wonderful gay costume designer for Star Trek. Thank you, wherever your energy now resides in the universe. And screw you, world, for making it impossible to find clothes like this irl. Interestingly, wrap tops can be found but tend to be exclusively in the femme section of clothes stores. Now there’s another fun gender thing, which adds to the theory of Kirk being expressively non-binary.
Extra: lol at McCoy for looking just like Mr Bean in these hilariously unfortunate screencaps. He’s beautiful too, of course, but in a different way. I’ll leave the Bones-love to someone else…
