Confession #80
"I'd like the Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies more if it weren't for their version of Kirk. Chris Pine is a good casting choice for the role and has a good chemistry with his fellow actors, but obviously J. J. Abrams doesn't know the difference between a ladies' man (TOS) and a creep to women (Kelvin)."

There was a fic I read years ago for Star Trek AOS and the gist was that everyone on the bridge crew or senior crew had to take a turn at being captain. And McCoy doesn't want to but eventually his turn comes around and he's GOOD at it, because it's nothing compared to running sick bay.
I wish I could find it again.

-> fanfiction : to lay away all , the head , the feet , the hands , all
It's been 26 years since the failure of UNAMIR, since Agent Winona Kirk's cell was decimated and the children there were captured - most of which they spent repairing things next-over in Monrovia. From war to war, but life has eased these days. Jim lives on a farm in Iowa by himself. He grows corn and builds robots to keep himself company. His best friend is his doctor and there's probably a problem somewhere in there. He can't be arsed to give a shit. And then a space-ship obliterates his barn to smithereens. Did we mention the space-ship part? Right. So, Spock's an alien. So there's that.
Rating E / NC - 17 | Content warnings for : war , genocide , slavery , abuse , racism/xenophobia | quietdown as Jim Kirk and Sarek . LilliputianDuckling as Spock and Leonard McCoy .
-> playlist : How Many Roads?
The fatal stone closes over me: rivedrai le foreste imbalsamate / "Once again shalt thou gaze." / Ahime! .. morir mi sento / "Alas… I feel death."

Info: Nero is mindlessly focused in on Spock - on *hurting* Spock, even more so than just killing him. And he recognized Kirk "from earth's history". So he MUST know alllll about Spock & Kirk being the ultimate dream team, BFF's, fucking like bunnies, what have you. And now he's got Spock's captain here, beneath his hands. What better way to get revenge?
But of course, he'd want Spock to SEE. I'm sure Nero would feel the need to explain, in explicit detail, exactly why it's Spock's fault that he's chosen to (whatever you pick, pervy, violent, etc.) poor Kirk. I think it'd be interesting to have BOTH Spock's reactions. Not to mention Kirk's. I can see Kirk maybe being all indignant - WTF, you're torturing me to hurt Spock? But he doesn't even like me! Or perhaps he'd get a funny look on his face as he realized just what those feeling/memories he'd received from Spock Prime's meld were.
And then! Rescue! And awkward aftermath. Anybody? Pretty please?

nuSpock oldKirk11 it's been months since i've read "spice" and i am not over it
I will never be over Spice. Best fanfic of all time.
I'm really sad about nuSpock oldKirk11 because I was having so much fun writing it, but then I stalled, and now I can't pick up the momentum again.
The premise was that Spock from the '09 Abrams movie (STXI) ended up in the universe of TOS. The motivation is partly that I just really love Quinto!Spock, but I dislike Pine!Kirk (NOT the fault of Chris Pine, who is great in the role; it's the writing that's the problem). Since I ship Kirk/Spock, this is a bit of a dilemma.
I really just want to read a ton of STXI!Spock/TOS!Kirk fics, but this is hard to find, partly because people love Nimoy; people dislike Shatner; and besides the fact that these are two different universes, TOS takes place at a later time than STXI, so if you really want the STXI-era characters with the TOS-era characters, there is also time travel.
But who cares? I wrote an insane number of words for this fic without even knowing why the time-travel-universe-hopping occurred; I just wanted it really badly.
I also have a chip on my shoulder about Kirk Drift, which is the phenomenon in which people think of the Captain Kirk played by Shatner in the 60s as a brash, reckless, rule-breaking womanizer, when that Kirk is profoundly thoughtful, deliberate, compassionate, respectful of women (though it was made in the 60s, so there is quite a bit of sexism in the show itself), and someone who believes in compromise and peace. The thing is, Pine!Kirk is that brash womanizing captain (and what a blow to our culture it is, that the character invented in the 60s is more progressive than the one created in 2009).
Additionally, STXI sets Kirk and Spock at odds, when what is so central to TOS and to the ship is an eternal relationship of trust, friendship, and respect. So, when I started thinking about that, I realized that if STXI!Spock came to the universe of TOS, he might not actually really trust or like TOS!Kirk, because he doesn't trust or like the Kirk of his own universe--despite the detente Kirk and Spock come to by the end of STXI. This gave me a chance to write TOS!Kirk in stark contrast to STXI!Kirk. In the fic, STXI!Spock is surprised over and over again that Kirk is being so thoughtful and deliberate; that everyone sits around and talks to much and Kirk is such a good captain.
On top of that, Kirk is gentle to Spock and deeply compassionate--partly because the Spock who suffered the events of STXI is much, much sadder than TOS!Spock. (This is partly why I like Quinto!Spock so much; I really love him to be sad and angsty, which Spock is sometimes on TOS, but I want ALL the angst and repression.)
The other difference in STXI!Spock is that he's dating Uhura. It turns out I despise STXI K/S fics in which Spock breaks up with Uhura because it wasn't "meant to be" or because she "doesn't understand him like Kirk does". I think my problem is that Pine!Kirk is so repellent to me that it kind of disgusts me that Spock would give up someone who is smart, sympathetic, capable, responsible, and understanding for someone who is . . . Pine!Kirk. Like, I guess you're attracted to who you're attracted to and you love who you love, and I dislike it when people talk about partners someone "deserves" or who fit together "logically," but just . . . ugh.
So I wanted to write an STXI!Spock who was deeply in love with Uhura. Meanwhile, TOS!Spock and TOS!Uhura seem to friends, but not more, so I liked the idea of STXI!Spock getting to TOS-verse and being devastated not only because he's not in the right universe or time, but also his girlfriend isn't interested in him any more. The idea was that he would eventually fall for TOS!Kirk, but there are . . . a few problems. The Spock I wrote loves his Uhura too much to just take up with someone else, even if I write that he gets stuck in TOS-verse for months. Also, TOS!Kirk is in love with TOS!Spock. TOS!Kirk sees STXI!Spock as vulnerable and alone, and wants to help him, but would never want to take advantage of him--especially when he realizes how much STXI!Spock dislikes the Kirk of his own universe.
So, against all my intentions, if I ever finished it, this story would actually probably be gen. STXI!Spock would gain a different appreciation of Kirk, and if I ever wrote a sequel, STXI!Spock would return to his own universe (very happy to get back to Uhura's arms) and insist--nay, DEMAND--that STXI!Kirk become something better. Probably the only great thing about STXI!Kirk is he really likes to rise to a challenge (and STXI!Kirk really does seem to care about Spock, and I could see him wanting Spock's approval), so I could see STXI!Kirk becoming a different sort of captain because Spock demands it. That would be pretty gen also, but then there could be another story in that series where TOS!Kirk finally gets TOS!Spock back, and TOS!Spock--having spent time in STXI-verse while his counterpart was in TOS-verse--is very, very happy to get back to his own Kirk and his own Enterprise. And TOS!Spock, having met Spock!Prime in STXI-verse, realizes that he doesn't want the life that Spock!Prime had, which was lonely because he never confessed his love to Kirk!Prime. So TOS!Spock confesses to TOS!Kirk and they are very happy, the end.

The Great British Blorbo Off Begins Shortly....
Thanks everyone for waiting so patiently while I take my time sorting this all out! I'm pleased to announce that I've decided on everyone that will be in the tournament, and we will be starting next Monday (16th)! So, here's how it's going to work:
There are 128 characters overall, and I have split them into 4 brackets with two rounds each.
I will be posting 8 polls (1 round) a week, and will reblog them in the middle of the week and at the end of the week.
Once we get down to one character left from each bracket, they will go against each other in semifinals until only two are left.
Winner becomes the new queen of England <3
If anyone that submitted a character has a specific image of them they'd like me to use, feel free to send it over. If you've submitted a character from a book then I will just be using the front cover of the book they're from as their image, so let me know if there's a TV/film version or certain cover you'd like!
Brackets are below the cut! As always, feel free to send an ask if you're confused about anything :)

2023 Fic+Vid recs
A variety of things I liked this year, made this year. Once again, this got long, so fic recs and fandom-specific recs for dmbj are below the cut. But first a few miscellaneous vids
[vid] Cockroach Motherfuckers by eruthros, thingswithwings multifandom Immortal queer characters multi-vid! This is exactly as much fun and hopeful as it sounds. I've seen maybe 2 of the sources so you know, you don't have to have seen them all.
(We) Didn't Just Come Here to Dance [Fanvid] by FairestCat fandom: Newsies I haven't actually seen newsies, but I really liked this vid. Taking the (very dramatic) musical theater dancing and putting it to a Carly Rae Jepsen song works SUPER well, visually very fun time. Also, unions!
[Vid] Oceanographer's Choice by absternr fandom: Heroes (cdrama 2022) Bai Choufei, Su Mengzhen, and Lei Chun's fucked up relationship(s)/falling apart bad times. This vid is deeply upsetting, just a real exploration of sometimes caring a lot about each other makes everything worse. For maximum sad times, this goes well with absternr's other heroes vid, hey, I just met you, which is the meet-cutes that led to this whole mess.
[AMV] The Draw by Lovely Goblin fandom: Revolutionary Girl Utena Black Rose Arc! I've watched this vid so many times really good weird and creepy black rose arc vibes really good parallels between all the different duelists
Also blanket rec that if you've seen Everything Everywhere All at Once, consider looking for vids for it. There's a bunch on ao3 (which can be easier to navigate than youtube, though there are definitely more total vids on youtube) and they're pretty much all spectacular? I was going to include one or two in this rec post and couldn't decide
The wild phonemes of 40 Eridani Keid by astronicht Fandom: Star Trek (aos/tos mashup canon) relationship: Spirk ~10k words rated E You know if you'd told me a year ago I'd be reccing a spirk fic in 2023 I would have been a bit surprised. This is not particularly my fandom wheelhouse. But you know, they're always good, and this fic is really great. This is almost an episode-fic except that nothing really happens plot-wise. But instead of a plot we get a lot of musing about geology and diplomacy and clever references to current events as history in that very trek kind of way and Spock being bitchy just for fun.
fuori dal mondo by bladedweaponsandswishycoats fandom: Qi Ye relationship: Beiyuan/Wu Xi, Beiyuan/Zhou Zishu (more plot than ship focused) ~60k words rated E This is a retelling of Qi Ye except Beiyuan is... some kind of eldritch horror, part-time. It pretty much goes beat for beat through canon (which I appreciate, I loved that book and do not like any of the current tls enough to reread) but with the added layer of whatever is going on with this eldritch thing, which is very cool and tied into canon so don't let me spoil it for you.
We're Leaving Our Shadows Behind Us by lady_ragnell fandom: Tortall - Protector of the Small relationship: Kel/Neal/Yuki ~70k words rated T Canon retelling of Squire and Lady Knight but from Neal's POV. This fic really digs into Neal as a character and the details of the worldbuilding of Tortall, especially the chamber of the ordeal. Also somewhere along the way it sold me on this ship, which I wasn't exactly rooting for when I read the books the first time.
The Untamed/MDZS
a harmony between qin and se by Alaceron relationship: Wangxian ~60k words rated E This is a gender-bent (to make it a het romance) no magic historical drama au where Wei Wuxian is a woman who's arranged to marry Lan Wangji. Honestly this is pretty far from the untamed, especially in terms of themes, though some plot elements will be familiar, but mostly it's just a really great compellingly written historical drama, that happens to have main characters with some familiar characteristics.
Like a Game of Chess by countingcr0ws relationship: Wangxian ~40k words rated T Modern au: influencer Wei Wuxian runs into Lan Wangji on a trip to Taiwan and they travel around together. I love all the little details of their trip - it's like getting to see a new place without going anywhere. Also sometimes I forget that wangxian are very cute? They're a good ship brant
The Epic Highs and Lows of High School Zine Production by el_em_en_oh_pee relationship: Jin Ling & Jiang Cheng, Jin Ling & the mdzs juniors ~7k words rated G Modern au: High schooler Jin Ling has big feelings about a lot of things, including zines, gender, and family. One of those juniors-centric fics that makes me say oh they are Teens huh.
DMBJ
A Little Hole in the Wall by MountainRose gen, Liu Sang centric ~8k words rated G Honestly I would rec this fic even to people who know nothing about tomb shows. One thing that really draws me to a book is descriptions of food (I have read multiple food memoirs this year), and this restaurant au has AMAZING food (and food prep) in it. Not too plotty, mostly just descriptions of delicious things and characterization via cooking.
green with an attitude by ilgaksu relationship: heihua ~8k words rated T If you are in the English language dmbj fandom and you care at all about heihua you probably have already checked out ilgaksu's fic, which has basically defined heihua for the English language fandom. My favorite heihua moments are when other people show up and give you that foil to realize how weird they are, and this fic has that both via Xiuxiu and Wu Xie. Also, a fic about dancing!
making anything last, keeping anything safe by A (mumblemutter) relationship: Wu Xie/Xiao Bai (background pingxie) ~8k words rated M Post canon Xiao Bai takes Wu Xie to explore a tomb that should be perfectly safe... (They set off a sex pollen trap.) I don't particularly ship this, but this fic was extremely well done and kind of sold me on the ship. Fun tomb, really fun characterization for everyone involved.
A World Made Over, Fresh and New by Thimblerig gen, iron triangle, Wu Xie & Li Cu ~1k words rated G If you've ever gotten specific dmbj fic recs from me, it's probably included something by Thimblerig, they're amazing at pulling in very specific canon snippets in under 5k words and I'd generally recommend going through their work by tags if you're looking for fic with underloved side characters or fic set during a part of canon that isn't UN or post-canon, which are generally easier to find. That said, this particular fic is in fact the fandom staple of post-reboot let's go look at a tomb and pulling in a big ensemble cast including some reboot folks. But it's a staple because it's a good vibe, and this is a really well done sliver of friendship and relationship building and perhaps even a tomb trap?
[Vid] Still Into You by absternr iron triangle ot3 This vid is a bop! Multi-tomb show iron triangle being in love, through the years! I've got this bookmark tagged as "joyful"
[vid] When He Died by teyla Wu Sanxing-centric This vid really leans into the weird tomb nonsense and conspiracies and builds to something quite odd, meant in the best possible way. A concentrated version of what tomb shows want to be at their best, from a horror/strange spooky things perspective. Mind the tags.
[Vid] Before I Do by absternr Xiuxiu character study A vid all about Xiuxiu being a badass - she's so clever and cunning and she will figure out and surpass her family history.
