MCCOY: It's hard to believe that a man could die of loneliness. KIRK: Not when you've sat in that room.
Kirk is remembering the feeling of the brainwiper. He is starting to spiral. He looks over at Spock, and the "cold, emotionless" Spock looks genuinely concerned.
I'm here. I see you. How can I help you? What do you need?
But just that one gentle, loving, concerned look from Spock, is enough to make Kirk feel safe again. He starts acting normal again. He smiles, ever so slightly. He gives an order.
KIRK: Take us out of orbit, Mister Spock. Ahead warp factor one.
This time, the supposedly "emotionless" Spock, literally smiles, ever so slightly, back at Kirk. He does that little lip-pursing thing he does when he's trying really hard not to smile for real.
Why is Kirk giving the order to Spock? That's an order for the helmsman. It's almost as if, to Kirk, Spock is the only other person in the room.
And the flirty, sparkly bedroom eyes Spock makes during "Warp factor one"?
Come on, let's gay flirt our way out of this place. I'll help you forget the tortures of this planet ever existed. We're together. All is right with the galaxy.
SPOCK: Acknowledged, Captain. Warp factor one.

Actually, I would give pretty much anything for a book accurate adaption of bram stokers Dracula
The world needs to know how down bad Mina and Jonathan were for eachother
My favourite thing about The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is that CS Lewis very obviously knew that kids were going to go hunting in cupboards and wardrobes for Narnia because multiple times he very clearly states that the kids did not close the door behind them when they climbed in the wardrobe because that would be stupid and dangerous. He knew some kid was going to lock themselves in the closet and he obviously didn’t want to be responsible for that.
C.S. Lewis: oh and yeah, the stars are actually people who are functionally immortal (unless bitten by a witch who's shapeshifted into a snake) and come down to earth for rest periods wherein they look like normal humans and eat fire-berries until they can go be stars again, but they can be banished too and become magicians—
me: hold on
C.S. Lewis: keep up, there are also sea people (not mermaids) who have entire civilisations underwater, with dark purple hair and ivory skin, and they ride giant seahorses, and are very aggressive—
me: wait a second
C.S. Lewis: aren't you listening, because there is also a world underneath Narnia with many different sections, including one where Father Time sleeps until the end of the world, and a world underneath that called Bism where gems live and can be juiced like fruit—
me: just hang on a minute
C.S. Lewis: so you don't want to hear about how a centaur feeds both stomachs?
Reading the Silmarillion, the elves seem so active and full of life.They’re always doing things. When you get to the Lord of the Rings, they just seem so tired. Elrond holds a meeting and then he’s out. Galadriel has some guests stay with her. They’re so done. They just wanna leave.
kevin day collecting homoerotic situationships to go play at the olympics with him one day
Finally finished my Silmarillion doodle (it’s only been like 4 months shhh) - some good ol’ fashioned Russingon angst.
