Amok Time from Stonn's Perspective

There is this line in the episode that many people find totally iconic:

And don't get me wrong, I agree - it is a good line. But it's also so very, very wrong in context?

Put yourself into Stonn's perspective for a moment:

He loves T'Pring, and she tells him that she loves him as well, but she is engaged to this guy.

She has not spoken to him for ages, he has all but abandoned life on Vulcan for a career in Starfleet and because he is half-human, he may never enter Pon Farr at all. Except one day he does, and you are totally expecting one of two things to happen:

a) T'Pring marries him and your affair is over.

b) She challenges and chooses you as champion - which has a 61.54% chance of ending in your death because the guy is a soldier with combat training and experience. (This is the way kal-if-fee is supposed to work, btw.)

Except neither of those things happen because your girlfriend is brilliant and awesome and loves you very much and finds a way to keep you safe and to be with you no matter what.

And then the guy says that to you.

And you realize that he understands nothing - that T'Pring does not prefer you for logical reasons but because she loves you. And that she just made you the most perfect love declaration imaginable.

But you're Vulcan, and the situation is already awkward enough, and T'pring evidently does not need you to fight for her honour, so you say nothing.

And then everyone sees you and your future wife as the villain because she did not want to sleep with a guy that apparently everyone else wants to sleep with. Not gonna lie, I'd be mad.

Except Stonn is probably too busy eating p*ssy to think about Spock.

I'll never understand caring about show/movie "leaks"

not like bts pics, cuz that's cool. no, I'm talking about plot leaks

like, even if the leaks aren't lies (which, come on, they 100% are), why would you want to know before the piece of media comes out? wouldn't that ruin the joy of watching something for the first time? why do you want it spoiled when you could find out in real time and experience the excitement of seeing something brand new?

maybe it's just a me thing but I hate supposed plot leaks and avoid them at all cost

#inspired by alleged stranger things leaks #i just #don't get it #and that leak account is definitely lying LMAO #if byler is happening #i'll find out when they kiss in front of my own two eyeballs on my computer screen #thanks #byler #< target audience #stranger things

#the way it can be so exhausting to come to terms with how hard it's been growing up as a queer person #and then to have to explain to people how hard it was #even to queer friends who want to fight it at first?? and say how good we've had it?? #babe we don't need to compare our life to the 50s #we can say that we've been stunted in our youth bc being gay was Not a thing #i've been so upset about this and it's so fucking hard when the ppl you love the most #who should understand the most #don't get it #my posts #i should sleep

Do all of the people who lowkey rag on and giggle at MacDen because "Dennis hates Mac's guts" and blah blah blah ever get tired of being boring as fuck. Is that all you get out of Mac and Dennis like helloooooo, it drives me crazy sometimes someone needs to lock me up before I do something drastic (spam their mentions with walls of text about the intricacies of their dynamic).

#it doesn't have to be this way guys please #there's so much more you can get out of them than that #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #macden #macdennis #mac mcdonald #dennis reynolds #this isn't to hate on people that can think this while actually getting deeper with it #i think that's awesome #but when that's all you have to say about it and you start ragging on people then ehhhhh #don't get it

The body positivity movement is insane sometimes remember when ariana grande suddenly went from being skinny to being visibly anorexic and anyone who noticed was accused of "toxic weight shaming" 🤪

Like be so fucking forreal right now Eugenia Cooney's mum was accused of all sorts for trying to stop her from being sectioned yet you're not even allowed to notice Ariana Grande is anorexic now??? Until when?? Does she have to scare people like the skeleton queen does for us to acknowledge the obvious???

I don't think she should be ashamed because of her mental illness luv I think she should be ashamed because she's a professional homewrecker

#DON'T GET IT #how is it shaming anyone to be concerned about obvious anorexia #i suppose it makes sense tho #they've been acting like its bullying to be concerned about binge eating for years now its ok to starve yourself too #or else you literally hate people who are under or over weight!!! #give it a rest #I'd rather kindly express concern and hurt someone's feelings than just watch them fucking die to avoid an uncomfortable conversation

i really hate how critical people are of book characters tbh, like a character can be a horrible person and still be compelling as a character

#i just #don't get it #like yeah people have different tastes maybe some people don't like reading about bad selfish characters but #personally i often find some humor in it #some authors are not aware that their characters are horrible people and that usually shows so like that kind of criticism is valid but #idk sometimes i read book reviews that are like x and y are bad people so i don't like the book like #did you ever consider that that was the point #i mean i guess people are allowed to dislike reading the book anyway but it does feel a bit unfair to point it out as a flaw of the book #when it was probably intentional #what i hate even more is people criticizing otherwise nice characters for doing a few bad things or having flaws #i really do feel like characters should have more leeway to do bad things #they're not very compelling otherwise honestly #i probably let stuff like this get to me a little too much tbh #i feel like aiden especially isn't very likeable at some points but he's kind of not meant to be #i'd hate for someone to feel like he's irredeemable but i also think i have to stop caring #if i want him to be compelling

really how the fuck do people come to the conclusion that anything in dark era went according to ango's plan ?????

Last night my mom decided to tell me about a phone call she had with her cousin recently where said cousin was saying transphobic shit (typical bathroom pervert argument 🙄) and I wish my mom had at least some self awareness because she went on to tell me how she tried to explain how harmful and wrong that type of thinking is while simultaneously defending her cousin because "she grew up and lives in a really small town so she doesn't know better" and immediately transitioned into telling me about a relative at a funeral she went to last week who she "thought was trans" because they physically appeared masc but was wearing femme clothing, but concluded that they couldn't be because they went by a masculine name even though she didn't bother to interact with this person at all

#literally just looking for me to give her praise/validation for the bare minimum lgbt-ally stuff #honestly the worst part about being trans/queer is having to explain the nuances of gender and sexuality to cishet people who just #don't get it #like she got defensive too when i told her 'you don't know that they weren't trans because you didn't talk to them' #she just made an assumption and stuck with it #i told her she's thinking about it in a binary way still and she was like 'well yeah! i've thought about it this way for 60+ years!'
