everyone seems really upset right now but let’s take a moment to appreciate this gif

what if jim gets totally hot and bothered when he looks at spock doing totally random things, like. spock drinks water, jim’s breath hitches. spock touches his lips, jim has to look away for a second. spock is holding cutlery, jim has to stuff his mouth with food (even salad) to stop himself from saying something. spock combs his hair, jim is completely in love.

the last time will was touched by hannibal before hannibal went to prison was when hannibal carried will’s unconscious body home in the snow and changed his clothes, tended his wounds, and tucked him into bed. but the last time hannibal touched him where will was lucid and could most likely remember the contact was after will was shot. hannibal also carried him to safety and tended to his wounds. he leaned into hannibal’s chest and hannibal held the back of his head like he did in mizumono, the other last time hannibal held him.

and then hannibal went to prison for three years and of course they had no physical contact, they didn’t even exchange words. but even at the cliff house, we don’t see them touch. not until the dragon is dead and hannibal helps will to his feet, where will then lays his head on hannibal’s chest again and then pulls them off the cliff so they can be in each others arms for eternity and can spend every last second feeling and not just remembering the other’s touch. their embrace being the last and final memory.

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

This morning @ncc1701ohno requested a chart of Star Trek Clone fucking so let me present you my chart of Star Trek TOS clone fucking.

Add on your own, tell me your thoughts. I know both @ncc1701ohno and @twinkboimler had some great thoughts about which characters from TNG and DS9 would be down to fuck themselves.
