Allison: So... Klaus... What Are You Planning On Doing Not The Apocalypse Is Over?

It was a joking remark by an unnamed party who said ‘I’m spirksexual.’ Not an attraction to it, but a sense of alignment and identification with it; the idea of ‘t’hy’la’, and the whole universe of thought around Kirk and Spock’s relationship. Roddenberry invented the word ‘t’hy’la’ to describe Kirk and Spock’s relationship as, in fact, indefinable; combining qualities of the friend, the brother and the lover into one deep, intrinsic, poetry-worthy bond that transcended category. Sometimes it seems idealised; sometimes flawed; sometimes both. Sometimes it emphasises more one thing than another, but it is always fluid. It seems to exist in layers and nuances as something that indeed, makes us think of the nature of relationships; the subtle shades and blending of characteristics that familiar categories of relationship may practically incorporate, but don't always explicitly acknowledge.

There is something uniquely compelling about the indefinable connection Kirk and Spock share; it is clearly beyond bodies or gender, while incorporating both the intellectual, mental connection and the physical. K/S fandom had been comprised of many demographics – including gay men, queer people of all genders; and also – hugely – by women, who wrote fanfic while stating that this it is far more than simply a relationship between two men. The m/m aspect served for many to negate the social inequalities especially apparent at the time of the series, and level the field so as to focus on the connection rather than roles, power or politics; or to actively subvert/question them with a certain freedom. This is a relationship that many people of different genders and sexualities explored their own through, and continue to even in different socio-policial times. Something about these two characters, and intrinsic in their relationship, provides a platform for such possibility.

Therefore: K/S pride. However you wish to take it: as a bit of fun, a protest, a conversation starter - or as something that simply expresses something indefinable about yourself. What is K/S to you? How do you see it and relate to it?

all video games should have a “I’m shit at video games but I’m curious about the story and I don’t want to watch a let’s play” mode

I also, again, find this statement very fitting for Martin. The idea of working a bad job because you're in a bad place in your life. It slowly getting more and more unsettling. Finally, being trapped in the restaruant and eaten. No one reported him missing.

No one reported him missing.

hello tiny friends i keep in my pocket. tell me something I will find humorous but vaguely annoying

my fave thing about being alive is that there is nothing that cannot be learned. tapestry weaving, astrophysics, swimming. music, theremin, singing. cutting your own hair, dancing, quantum mathematics. sewing, philosophy, social skills. knowledge is divine, but sharing it is human !!!
