OKAY YALL. jim totally has movie nights/show watching nights with bones and spock (jim's captain's quarters have this big retractable screen meant for conference calls or viewing ship logs but obviously it also effectively doubles as a giant tv screen!!) and it basically turns into sleepover night where they have fun doing the fun kiddy shit they deserve (after bones and jim nearly started brawling after jim wiped the floor at monopoly via "underhanded GODDAMN tactics" according to bones, spock has made a note never to attempt to bring up monopoly on movie nights EVER AGAIN)
but also consider: pre-slash spones watching a show and arguing about favourite characters ("Your parameters for selecting a 'favourite character' are most illogical, Doctor." "Favouritism is favouritism, Spock! I couldn't give a rat's ass about goddamned logic!") but agreeing that their favourite chars would make a great couple ("It would be illogical to deny the high compatibility of these characters. One might be inclined to infer that their opposing characteristics may in fact be complementary and hence conducive to an optimal relationship." "By God, just say that ya think they look good together, Spock!") EXCEPT THEIR FAVOURITE CHARACTERS ARE BASICALLY THEMSELVES RESPECTIVELY lmao
jim is sitting next to them on the couch watching them argue shaking his head like it is So obvious ya doofuses GET TOGETHER ALREADY
until this new character (extremely jim-coded) is introduced in the next season who has shockingly intense chemistry with each of the bones/spock coded chars individually. Which starts a whole ship war between bones and spock, who, ironically, ship the other's character with the new one, and go ham on trying to prove (quoting scenes, acting choices, prop choices, even theorising about behind-the-scenes agendas) that they're right about their ship. jim thinks it's absolutely fucking hilarious seeing his best friends come extremely close to duking it the fuck out on his couch over FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, GUYS, COME ON. all the while bones and spock are losing their fucking minds because occasionally their own favourite characters will have Moments and they'll go insane trying to figure out which ship is definitively endgame. they have a bet going that whoever has their ship sunk will have to hand over a quarter of their lab time to the victor and act as assistant while the other uses the time to work on their own experiments.
jim thinks it's the funniest thing he's ever seen- UNTIL ON THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SEASON ALL THREE CHARACTERS GET TOGETHER. jim (who has Known how much the character dynamics reflected the triumvirate themselves all along) is completely fucking speechless and has a huuuuge epiphany about his own feelings for spock and bones. meanwhile bones (speechless with pure unfettered rage both at the fact that technically he was wrong but also HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE???) and spock (kicking himself mentally for not having considered this possibility previously) are about to argue (all while jim is spiralling lmfao) when the bones-coded character says something like "huh. I guess we were so focused on trying to pair up that we forgot we worked best together as a trio." and bones starts to Get It, and then spock also starts to Get It, and they turn to jim, who gets that they Get It, and begins to giggle hysterically, and it is so contagious that bones starts to die of laughter and even spock cracks a chuckle.
Later, when they're all lying in jim's giant bed sleepy and happy and satisfied, cuddled together and cozy as hell, jim tells them that he's sorta known they (spones) would get together like in the show all along but he doesn't know how he didn't figure out where he came into the equation until now when it was so obvious!! and bones tells him he thinks he had always loved jim and spock but for some reason it took months and months of ship wars to see it (lol) which he's definitely glad for despite the high blood pressure every time he and spock would argue. and spock presses a kiss to the corner of jim's mouth and two fingers to bones' own, and whispers that for once, he agrees fully with leonard on the matters of their new favourite ship. jim doesn't think he's ever grinned that wide in his entire fucking life.

I wrote an AOS star trek fanfic recently where I used the transporters as kind of a big plot device and I also referenced Hamlet a few times. Because of that I wanted to draw something loosely inspired by the illustrations of John Austen (who did some of my favourite Hamlet illustrations), using the swirly transporter lights to get an art nouveau-ish vibe.
Also if you're interested, here's a link to the fanfic in question

Ohh, I have such a weird mix of feelings about Mudd's Women.
Going into the rewatch, I was like "oh no, it's this one". But actually, I really like it as an episode?
Idk, even though it seems quite sexist, and there's a fair amount of cringe, and I do not like the ending of Eve staying with That Man, I kind of feel like the women are the main characters, and the joke is on the men?
And I really, really do like Eve; she's such a great character. She knows what she wants, mostly, but is also a bit of a mess, understandably - and she very much is her own person? (until the end, which, ugh. why.)
Like, it's not a good episode, but it's not as icky as I thought it was?
(Also, Spock smirking as he introduces "Leo Walsh" to Jim, knowing that Kirk's going to be completely unprepared for the ladies 😅)

Do you want to get married again?
"Ah, no. That's - um, a bit too soon to think about considering I've only recently, uh, seperated from my wife..." Kirk swallows, blinking rapidly as he averts his gaze. A bit too soon? More like a lot too soon and his feelings would remain that way indefinitely even if by some miracle he managed to find another to love as much as he still loved Francine.
You don't deserve it, not when you never appreciated what you had until it was too late.

I haven't seen any of snw's episodes with Jim Kirk in them, and even if I had, I'm too bad with faces to recognize Generic White CW Man #3 in a different outfit, but please tell me he's played by Sam's actor just without the mustache

WHAT FORM WOULD YOUR DAEMON TAKE?
Amphibian
Those who have amphibian daemons are adaptive people who exude vitality. They are relatable and friendly people who refuse to be stamped out, often known for being jacks of all trades with a uniquely determined view on life. They know how to remake themselves again and again.
Specifically, an Axolotl
You are a peaceful and pleasant individual who goes with the flow. More so than others with amphibian daemons, those with axolotls are supportive and masters of self-care. They are highly in tune with the needs of themselves and others, and typically don't have a bad word to say about anyone.
When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider the colour of your axolotl. A darker-coloured axolotl indicates a more quiet and introverted individual, while a pink-coloured axolotl indicates someone more outgoing and sociable.
