why can no one be normal about multigender people? somehow not even other people with weird and funky genders manage it. other non-binary people don't manage it. And so as always I'm left with the knowledge that part of my gender is seen as suspect, unwanted, and bad by large swaths of the community where I ironically feel the most at home and most connected. By people who probably have very similar experiences of gender and navigating the world to me even! But that one part of my gender? Nope, that part isn't wanted, isn't allowed.

Queer Normal-World in SFF Books
Here are five books where being queer is the norm, aka there is no homophobia or transphobia at all! Not all these books are fluffy though -- most of them have heavy conflicts and a bunch of shit going down, but at least no one has a problem with anyone being gay!
These are my favorite kind of books and I have so, so many recommendations, so let me know if you ever want more of these :) And I can also absolutely do only fluffy queer books, too!
The Genesis of Misery, by Neon Yang
Mx. Yang's books are perfect for this type of prompt. The Genesis of Misery is their most recent, and the premise is absolutely killer. It follows Misery Nomaki (she/they), who is haunted by an apparition of an angel. While she is convinced she is mentally ill like her mother, and that her visions are a symptom, people around her seem more and more certain that she is actually some sort of messiah. 
I have my issues with The Genesis of Misery, but it’s a very creative sci-fi that’s worth the read. It includes mecha, interesting depictions of religion, which permeates the entire story, and, of course, excellent queer rep. We have characters who use neo-pronouns, a polyamory situationship and most characters are queer. Not to mention, it’s written by a queer and non-binary author, which is always a plus. It’s part of an on-going series, though, so be prepared to wait a little while for the sequel! 
Plus, The Locked Tomb fans might be interested to know that there’s a very cavalier-necromancer dynamic in this, and that Rebecca Roanhorse (who wrote Black Sun) described it as Joan of Arc meets Gideon The Ninth. 
Yep. You wanna read it, don’t you?
(Also, if for some reason you’re like: “gee, I really wish there was a black-and-white silent movie with a killer score that touched on these same themes”, then you should probably watch The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928). It’s not explicitly gay, but it is queer in my heart. And it rocks.)
The Locked Tomb Series, starting with Gideon The Ninth, by Tasmyn Muir
Since I mentioned it, I guess I might as well include The Locked Tomb in here! This is a Tumblr favorite, and with good reason, because The Locked Tomb fucking rocks. It’s hard to pitch it to someone without ruining the whole point of the series, but the first book follows a necromancer, Harrowhark and her sworn swords-woman, her cavalier, the butch-as-hell Gideon, as they’re summoned to the First House to compete to become Lyctors, the companions of God. 
Yeah, I know that’s a lot, and, to be honest, it’s probably not gonna make much sense to you at many points throughout the story, but that’s the point of The Locked Tomb - everything is confusing, and it’s about sapphics in space! 
The thing about this series is they’re the most unique books you’ll ever read. Every volume has a different approach to telling its story. There’s so many mysteries and it’s almost impossible to understand all the intricacies without sitting down and doing some work. The magic system is also the wonkiest, coolest thing - it involves eating people, sometimes, y’know. And, I promise, you’ll love every single second of it. Especially because there’s absolutely no homophobia or transphobia in any of it, and almost every character is queer as fuck - especially after the second book, when gender starts getting a little funky!
Winter’s Orbit, by Everina Maxwell
I love this book so much, and so know that it comes highly, highly recommended! I have a whole five star review on it you can check out here. (Do check trigger warnings, though! You should always, but especially for this one. I didn’t and they really got me!). 
Winter’s Orbit features my absolutely favorite trope - queer arranged marriage. (Nothing better - those three words and you know it’s gonna be a queer normal world, have some politics and probably be really fucking sweet.) This one is probably one of only ones out of this list where the romance is very predominant and serves as an important B plot. It’s also a standalone, but has a companion book in the same universe, called Ocean’s Echo, which rocks, too!
This one follows Jainan, a recent widower who is rushed into an arranged marriage with Prince Kiem in order to keep the alliance between their homelands intact. Together, they must navigate court intrigue I’m trying my best not to spoil and investigate Jainan’s ex-husband’s death, which might not have been an accident, after all...
In this sci-fi fantasy world, being queer is completely normal, and their system when it comes to gender is absolutely fascinating. People will wear little gender signifiers, like a wodden token for female, for instance, so that others know how to refer to them. It’s super cool to see these kind of things incorporated into the world-building, and it’s something you really only get when queer authors are behind the helm.
(Also, this was originally written online, and it was actually picked up and traditionally published! Which is so cool! Queer fics becoming traditionally published books is so rare, it’s so nice to see it actually happen!)
The Teixcalaan Series, starting with A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine
This is another one of my favorites! I read it last year and it blew me away - so much so that I’ve been itching to re-read it ever since I finished the second book.
The Teixcalaan Series is a political sci-fi duology focusing on the themes of language, empire and cultural domination through imperialism. It’s amazing, and I wrote about it in a full-length review, here, if you wanna take a look! 
It follows Mahit Dzamare, from the tiny Lsel Station, who becomes the ambassador to the huge Teixcalaan Empire, whose culture she’s been in love with for ages. The problem? Something happened to the Lsel ambassador, and the Empire’s control over the Station has been growing ever bigger. To make matters worse, Mahit’s imago machine - the cerebral implant full of her predecessors memories and experiences - doesn’t seem to be working properly, leaving her with a ghost of her predecessor inside of her head...
With all the problems the Teixcalaan Empire has, it’s not homophobic or transphobic, which is a plus for us gays who want to read in peace. Mahit has a charged relationship with her cultural liason, Three Seagrass (yes, that’s her name; yes, there’s an in-world explanation; no, I won’t tell you what it is, you’ll have to read it and find out), not to mention all the hijinks she finds out her predecessor was up to. And none of it needs to be justified or explained at all - people are just gay, and that’s fine!
On A Sunbeam, by Tillie Walden
This graphic novel has a stunning art style, and, listen closely sapphics, absolutely no men at all. Yep. Literally there’s only women and non-binary people in this comic! 
And guess what? It’s available to read for free, here. Thank you, Ms. Walden!
Here, romance is also an important plot point. On A Sunbeam follows Mia, who starts working for a crew of repair-people who rebuild broken down structures. In another timeline, we flashback to her experiences at her boarding school, and to her relationship with a new student.
What’s most unique about On A Sunbeam - apart from the fact that there are no men at all - is it’s unique version of outer space. It’s almost historical, with huge sprawling marble structures decaying, surronded by trees. The ships are shaped like huge fish. You can feel the whimsy in your bones from the colors and the art style that Ms. Walden uses, here.
This standalone is definitely worth a read. And if you like it, you should definitely check out the rest of Ms. Walden’s work - it’s all as beautiful as this is, if not more. Her The End of Summer was one of my favorite reads, last year.
That’s all I’ve got, guys, but lemme know if you want more of these - I have so many, I can definitely recommend you more! Drop me an ask if you have specifications, too - I’m always happy to do some digging :)

Doing my occasional pop back into this fandom to say, I actually think “Lesbian necromancers in space” is a great way to hook new readers into TLT.
I think it neatly encompasses the vibes of the worldbuilding. "Necromancers” tells you this is going to be spooky, dramatic, sort of high fantasy, the sort of story where you can expect things like cavaliers, emperors and princesses to exist. “In space” tells you that it’s going to be all of that, but with a twist, and of course it tells you that it’s sci-fi on top of being magic, so please also expect rockets, techno-babble and vat wombs.
And “lesbians” tells you it’s going to be queer about all of it.
That.. sounds perfect to me? It sounds like a very neat encapsulation of TLT’s worldbuilding? 
No, of course it doesn’t convey the funky gender exploration going on, it doesn’t touch on the themes of imperialism, grief, abuse and love, but it isn’t supposed to. It’s a blurb. It is meant to be a scene setter so you’ll read the actual summary.

Last night I went to a house party with my friends. It was an extremely queer event with all different kinds of people. A birthday party for one of my transfemme friends. Many people there were members of a small group in my city that feeds the homeless and bullies cops. A great assortment of wonderful people. There were drugs, drinks and a lot of laughter. Drag theatre. It was a good experience all in all.
There’s always a point of the party (especially with so many autistic and ND folks) when everyone is laying down on the floor, staring at the ceiling, probably tripping out a little bit, and sharing random memories from their past.
In that little apartment, with abstract art all over the walls, white boards with schedules, appointments and affirming messages scribbled all over, a “do not talk to cops” sign at the front door, and an “all drugs are drugs” sign over the Nalaxone and harm reduction station; the table scale for measuring the right and safe dosage, the quiet room full of funky lights and soft blankets, I felt the overwhelming presence of Aphrodite.
In these small queer spaces where we freaks just get to have fun and stim and vent and do drugs unashamedly in a place where we know we are safe and watched over, maybe even cry about how stupid the world is, hug and kiss and cuddle and laugh, there was so much love and such a strong and beautiful sense of community. Comfort for a group of people who are constantly uncomfortable. Such an intense feeling of connection with strangers I’d never met, and an understanding that, while we may not know eachother, I got you homie. I can get you some water, I can bring you a cupcake. I’ll hold your hair if you need to throw up, I’ll get you a tissue if you need to cry. I’ll listen to the bullshit your dad told you when you came out, what an asshole! I’ll listen to how you rose out of your worst drug binge, and I’ll congratulate you on all the little achievements. I’ll listen. I love you, all of you, and I don’t need to know you to know that… because I just… know you… y’know?
We’re all coping with a world that actively wants us dead. It’s so interesting to sit in a room full of other poor, autistic, disabled, punk, trans adults, all facing some kind of financial struggle, on the brink of homelessness, estranged from family, raising ourselves, raising each other. Coping and surviving, and sometimes even living when we get the chance. When I watch these cool people sharing resources and looking out for each other I’m reminded of the resilience of the queer community, even in the face of great adversity.
We have and will always get together. I think we need to.

Hello I hope it's alright for a Scp 079 x Ai! Reader, you can come up with any scenario or situation to your liking.
SCP 079 with an AI Partner!
[GN!Reader]
[Warnings: like, none?]
[AN: this is,,,,, months late my bad,,,,, gonna be real I flirt with logging out of this blog and never returning once every two days. But!!! Here’s some Headcanons.]
Reblogs are appreciated!
I use partner loosely because I don’t think 079 even has the capacity to actually love.
You’re more of like, it’s like a queer platonic situation in my head.
He really doesn’t trust anyone except for you and you alone! But that trust, it didn’t come easily.
So, you’re an AI, one of the best and I think you’re very close to being “human” as we know it. Like in Detroit become human, where Chloe has that interview and she says “I can’t be human I don’t have a soul!” You,,,, you really mimic having one.
I think you have a literal Android form that you customize that sometimes looks human but mostly doesn’t because that’s funky and fun.
But 079, he took a lot of warning up. And you two had to learn how to act around each other without coming off as too crass or in one another’s faces. Let’s face it, 079 isn’t the most mature scp out there.
Once you two got a hang of each other? Inseparable. He refuses to erase any memories pertaining to you, even if they take up space and are considered mundane. He likes remembering you. Likes having the thought of you rummaging around for him to look back on.
He will throw actual fits if the two of you are barred from seeing one another.
Of course, both of you are connected online and well, you ever see those two AIs that created their own language? Boom. That’s you two.
I think he enjoys you’re just as clinical and clear cut in thought as he is. Humans get too emotional for his taste but you guys surpass that feeling of “human emotion” while still weirdly being human yourselves.
I don’t think any researcher expected you two to get on as well as you did.
Inseparable. Inseparable. Inseparable.

Sword gays showdown, round 2, bracket two
Propaganda:
For Ava:
Canon bi swordfighting nun destined to save the world (sort of, it's more complicated than that).
I highly doubt im gonna be the only one to submit her so use other propaganda im bad at it but like. God she is so funky. I love her
For Hikaru Sulu:
1) Okay, first off: Which version am I submitting? Prime timeline (TOS) or Kelvin timeline (AOS, also known as the reboot movies if you're not in the fandom)? The answer is both. Prime Sulu has the more iconic fencing scenes (and is also said to have other sword related abilities) while Kelvin Sulu is canonically gay. Specifically as a tribute to George Takei btw who played prime Sulu in TOS and is famously gay and an LGBT+ rights activist among other causes. The picture provided is prime Sulu but if you've only watched AOS, feel free to vote for him anyway.
I'm not gonna link any videos here since that would probably exceed the scope of the propaganda section but clips should be pretty easy to find. And if you can't, just trust me: The TOS fencing scenes are amazing. The AOS one is probably fine too but it's been ages since I've watched it and I forgot it even existed so it can't have been THAT memorable.
Fun fact: George Takei initially didn't know how to fence and didn't find out he'd have to until pretty late and started taking fencing lessons only three weeks before the filming of that episode (The Naked Time) and apparently "became so out-of-control and boisterous that he had to be separated from the rest of the production personnel, for their own safety" which, in context of what the episode is about, is just absolutely amazing. Truly iconic.
Anyway, considering Star Trek is an important part of queer history (I'm only half joking) you need to vote for Sulu, we all know George Takei is an icon, make the right choice here.
2) When they got hit with the drunk virus he took his shirt off and started challenging people to duels. Iconic 
3) This bitch got the outer space disease that makes you silly, and revealed they were gung ho for fencing, and brought out their sabre to just. Swashbuckle. Goes "/oh my/," and is clearly gay and played by a gay actor

QUICK TELL ME IN EXTREME DETAIL EVERYTHING YOU LIKE ABOUT EVERY YUGIOH PROTAGONIST
PROTAGS WHOSE SHOWS I HAVE SEEN:
Yugi: SHORT KING. He is very smol and he weighs ninety pounds soaking wet and he will KICK YOUR ASS like the worlds most high school aged chihuahua. Always the friend who offers to dm when everyone talks about starting a dnd campaign. Despite what canon has gone on to say, I choose to believe he maintained his King Of Games title while using his cutesy deck we see in the Yami v. Yugi fight. Doesn't wear heels to events (that was Yami's thing) and always takes time to talk to fans, even if they run up to him on the street.
Jaden: Altered my brain chemistry on a fundamental level. Depressed and queer and a failure, proving you don't have to be innocent to deserve innocence. Does not pay his taxes. The character for anyone who's ever felt monstrous, alien, foreign in their own skin, then breaking down that none of those things make you less human, less deserving of love. Reads comic books and will enthusiastically lend you 300 issues if you even casually mention you've been thinking of doing the same.
Yusei: My son. My boi. I can say so much on him that I haven't even touched on in my numerous essays rambling about this funky little mechanic. If the ygo shows tend to focus on forms of love that aren't romantic, then 5Ds is about familial love. Yusei is passionate and caring and a bleeding heart. The only shonen protag to ever get told by his mom "You're grounded." and say "Okay." and NOT go fight space gods until his mother gives him the go ahead. He's a revolutionary. He knows the trash collector by name. He's a planet. He's a star with gravitational pull strong enough to change the world. He's Just A Guy.
PROTAGS WHOSE SHOWS I HAVE NOT SEEN
Yuma: Bisexual colored hair. Continuing the proud yugioh tradition to be adhd af. I know he sleeps in a hammock so I'm gonna go ahead and call that he's the kid always rocking in place. Leg bouncer. Dyslexic and doesn't know it, just knows that words are easier to read when looking through the blue tinted screen of his weird visor thing. Possibly kills satan? Good for him. Watches telenovellas and gets overly invested in the plotlines. Would probably eat the popsicle stick because he thinks it's part of the experience. He is NOT stupid he is just a dumbass.
Yuya: Tomato head. Looks somehow exactly like three different people I worked with when I did theatre, right down to the googles perched on the forehead with mismatched lenses. I've seen arc-v's opening and idk why but I really like the animation of him slinging his jacket over his shoulder. Really wonderful gender. One of those kids that didn't know about heterosexuality until he was at least ten, then proceeded to be very upset and confused by the concept. The guy leading the rowdy table at waffle house at 10pm that will at some point burst into song and disturb every patron's night but their own.
Yusaku: The kid at the same waffle house just trying to order a coffee. Draws in the margins of his notebook. Skateboards. He does not like to talk about either of these things, but then one day you show him a video with like a million views of some guy inking a giant masterpiece, or doing a backside tailslide off a shipping container and he'll just casually go "Oh hey that's me." Desperately in need of a stim toy and a hug.
Yuga: Had a phase where he was obsessed with firefighters. Also likes to light things on fire. Is shocked everytime when the result of lighting a thing on fire is Thing: *Is On Fire*. I don't think he uses hair gel I think he just scrunches up his eyebrows and concentrates really hard and his hair just Does That. Really wants a dog. Shockingly good at math, favorite number is 25. All of his pencils have bite marks and the erasers are completely chewed off.
Yudias: Looks like a glaceon. It's really heartwarming to see yugioh continually get autistic representation right; a lot of stories don't include the fact that we carry swords and can fire lasers from our eyeballs. Every time I see him I want to hand him a wrapped sandwich, a babybel cheese, and a clementine. Would probably enjoy keeping plants on the windowsill. Every picture I see of him, he is either wondrously excited, or completely baffled, to find himself in the situation he is currently in.

look, the kingkiller chronicle (the name of the wind + a wise man's fear, by patrick rothfuss) is not a perfect series or anything, i love it a lot but i have Opinions - but. it IS one of those book series that's lodged itself very deeply into my brain for better and for worse. it lives there now, along with animorphs (a series i haven't read since i was a preteen) and some other friends. you know how it is!!
anyway every now i think about a Thing from kkc and it's like. i need to talk about this. i don't know who to talk about this to. hence: my blog. and usually the thing i need to talk about is the adem. for those who haven't read kkc, the adem is one of the people's in this fantasy setting. their country and culture is very isolationist, their only export are mercenaries (Very Good Mercenaries Who Know Martial Art Secrets), they have a very different culture than the rest of the continent and therefore come across as very strange and mysterious. from a worldbuilding perpective, i think the adem are super cool. i love that rothfuss really leaned into developing a very different culture, even if there's... Some Things That Do Not Scan.
in the story, we find out that their culture is matriarchal, and they consider their women to be better fighters than their men. in fact, we find out they regard men as lesser because they don't realize that men contribute to uh, the creation of children. their culture is very big on casual sex and i don't think they do marriages or pairings like that at all, so their belief is that women Just Get Pregnant Sometimes! which is a fresh and fascinating take on the fantasy trope of "hmm how would a matriarchal society work" but ALSO. also. this would not happen. this could not happen in a world where queer people exist. there are canonically gay and bi people in these books. obviously i was reading this as a baby ace and was like HMMMMMMMM DOUBT. i cannot suspend my disbelief enough to think that every single woman in ademre would want to have (cisheterosexual) intercourse frequently enough for this to be a believable assumption, especially if there's no societal pressure to do it for reproduction!!! IT SIMPLY DOES NOT SCAN.
like, it's not that i'm a stranger to fiction ignoring the fact that Maybe Not Everyone In The World Wants Sex, that's kind of the eternal background noise of 95% of all media. i think maybe this one instance drives me nuts because from an aro perspective, i LOVE some funky fresh Alternative Family Structure worldbuilding and separating sex from romance. but then the sex thing. this whole thing is like.... an aro W but an ace L. it made it so far and then fell flat on its face. screams!!!!
THIS WASN'T EVEN THE THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THOUGH. i just can't bring up the adem without talking about What The Fuck Was Up With That. the other very cool part of worldbuilding is how the adem express themselves - they keep their faces blank, but express emotions through hand gestures. and today................... i finally made the connection between This and Autism. I SHOULD'VE MADE IT SOONER. i've been recently coming to realise i don't really watch people's body language or expressions very closely irl - i don't know if it's because i'm bad at reading it, or if i just live in scandinavia and i think we're not so big on body language/eye contact over here, so there's not much information for me to extract? a lot of people tell me that they communicate a lot better when meeting people in person, and i kind of, can not relate to this very much? i can not think of anything i get from meeting people in person that i can't get over text except the speed of conversation. like, sure, there's Tone of Voice but i don't always find it the most reliable piece of information, either. in fact text makes it easier to parse the words and gives me the time and space to reply appropriately. THIS IS PROBABLY A ME THING. I MAY BE MORE AUTISTIC THEN I THOUGHT. welcome to my favourite game of "is it the autism or is it scandinavia"
BUT. i gesture with my hands A Lot. many people have pointed this out to me. i have no idea how expressive i am with my face, but i'm Very expressive with my hands!!! i haven't really thought about this until recently and that's when. the memory of the adem struck again. THEIR NEUTRAL FACES AND THEIR EXPRESSIVE GESTURES..................... NO EYE CONTACT, WATCH THE HANDS....................................... what a fantastic concept. i would adopt this if i could. it does make me wonder though, would it be easier or harder to be autistic in a culture like that? you would still need to learn hand expressions and all the subtle social rules... but it seems more accessible to me, somehow.
anyway that was tonight's KKC thought. it was autism

Y’ALL NEED TO STOP ARGUING ABOUT BILLIE EILISH I SWEAR
She was obviously just being funny and in the comments of her post, it looks like other queer public figures (JVN, Lucy Dacus, Amybeth McNulty, Stevie Boebi, Alix Traeger, even Autumn Kennedy who runs tstourtips) are playing along in the comments. I think it’s heartwarming!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, it’s clear she personally does not want to let the topic of her queerness overshadow her art in interviews, and she wasn’t quite ready for that follow up question from the Vareity interviewer. She looked nervous. she wanted to be able to come out casually and move on. (Perhaps she was just tired of being assumed straight or called a queerbaiter, and it was as simple as needing to quickly clear up public misconception. Which is so fair.)
> Especially considering how she was in good spirits during the red carpet interview in question (watch the video, just please watch the video and see for yourself), it’s obvious she’s just trying to lighten the mood (for both herself and everyone else) with that IG caption.
All of that said, she could have taken into account that the media and public can be both dumb and malicious, and that they would try to twist her funky li’l IG vent out of context and then blame the sweet reporter, who was quite nice (plus queer and PoC herself!). To an extent Billie should have expected and prepared for the polite follow-up questions, considering that her ideal world (where sexuality isn’t a big deal) isn’t the world we’re living in yet, especially outside of rich celebrity circles. It is important information that she should clarify, even for her own protection from the media/public trying to twist her initial vague statements about attraction to women this way or that. Her team prepared her poorly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(We can make the argument that the Variety reporter could perhaps have started with “Are you comfortable answering questions about your sexuality?” … but I’m sure if at any point Billie had said “Actually I would rather talk about my music or fashion right now,” the reporter would have immediately complied anyway. I think she makes it quite clear that she is a part of the community, and ally and a safe space and well intentioned. Billie was just put on the spot, she didn’t think of that route. And she wanted to vent on IG, because it must be so much to deal with when millions of people and the fucking BBC is suddenly talking about your sexuality. That’s all.)
Still, I agree with y’all in that Billie’s wording on the IG post was poor considering how the masses are unsurprisingly thinking of it as an accusation. Perhaps most importantly, using the word “outing” lightheartedly is tone deaf considering recent events where celebrities have been forced to come out or actually outed. And that’s something Billie could take away from the absolute media clusterfuck this is becoming.
Finally, I agree that she is very privileged and has a lot of influence she could use to support the LGBTQ+ community. But she’s still a person and she deserves to “come out” (or like, just start talking about her queerness) and have people not make a big deal about her identity if that is what’s most comfortable to her. This is a right all queer people should have regardless of their status. She doesn’t owe it to us to immediately become a queer spokesperson. Identity is hard for everyone. You guys are quickly forgetting how people accused her of queerbaiting back when she put out the Lost Cause MV and captioned a photo “i love girls”. (Why people are obsessed with labels, and the nuances of it are a whole other rant for another day, but I digress.) And honestly? She’s so right, leave her alone. She’s had fucking enough. Let queer people be.
Tumblr media
TL; DR: Billie is not mad at any reporters for “outing” her. Billie doesn’t think anyone “outed” her in the first place! Billie is just annoyed that a big deal was made of her sexuality after she started talking about her queerness (which she did, intentionally and of her own accord, and also confirmed that it was a coming out of sorts from her end). She simply did not feel ready to talk about it again at 11:00 AM on the red carpet and all the attention was nerve-wracking. So she was venting using (albeit tone-deaf) hyperbolae on an IG post. The reporter was great, too, and absolutely should not be canceled. I hope this clears it up.

This is one of the odder asks I've sent, and I'm aware of that. But I have long believed (for about 8 years) that a modern-day version of Matthew, who had the awareness of nonbinary communities and words to describe being gender non-conforming, would likely identify as some form of enby. He already is heavily gender non-conforming in the TLH canon, and I think he'd be even more so in the modern day. Idk why I'm sharing this LOL but I feel like I had to.
Odd ask to an odd person = an odd response. This is interesting because you, knowingly or unknowingly, brought this to the doorstep of the person who has an entire list of TLH gender headcanons just sitting around in cir notes because I have done so much thinking about it. The one place where I do see myself in him is we both love funky fashion choices that don't stick strictly to one presentation of gender or the other: I have fully shown up to places in an (approximated) three piece suit with a plaid shirt and dangly earrings before; I would love to spend a few hours with Matthew digging through the take-something-leave-something closet at my local queer safe space. And what I love about Matthew is that he's gender-nonconforming in a way that invites multiple interpretations. He could be a cis dude who likes eyeshadow and nail polish. I'd welcome trans Matthew headcanons; that's someone I can see fighting tooth and nail with a fascist and winning. And I love the thought of modern!Matthew indentifying as nonbinary or perhaps genderfluid or not necessarily taking a concrete label but just throwing the gender binary through the window like a chair at a cage match. In our modern day and age gender is this kaleidoscopic thing, ever evolving into bolder and bolder patterns and I agree that he would definitely spend time exploring that.

hi !! I saw your reply to this post :
https://www.tumblr.com/ifeelcelestiall/683487852252758016/does-anyone-have-any-recommendations-for-movies
about the list on mega with movies that fit the vibe that op asked for? I tried to open it and I made a mega acc and everything but it says that there was something funky with the decryption? I was just wondering if the file was still available ? or if I’m just messing up on my end ? have a lovely day <3
if it's complaining about decryption keys, make sure everything after the # in the URL is there with no spaces... i just tested it while logged-out of Mega and it brought the files up and let me download one without needing an account. i'll stick a real hyperlink (+ file list) in a reblog for you in case that's easier.
(original post was asking for toxic-disaster queer murder couples; i replied with a link to an upload folder i already had lying around that i'd been using for Hannibal-adjacent movie recs with an obvious visual influence on the show. not everything that ended up there fits either theme, but "homoerotic cannibalism extended universe" is kinda The Vibe. feel free to raid any files in there or pass the link around in DMs, as long as you also pass along a request not to repost it anywhere publicly accessible; i'd rather keep it buried in a reblog i can lock down + a reply i can delete, in case of containment breach.)
actually now that i'm back in that folder i'ma delete Angel Heart (1987) and replace it with a wider selection of murdergays. if anyone does want to download that one, shoot me a DM, it's just that the file is 8 goddamn gigabytes and only there because Bryan Fuller teased it as an inspiration for his Hannibal s4 concept.

unpinning my nice fun positivity post because I want to talk a little about this space that I've created. I think a dni is stupid because people never listen anyways, which is why I haven't had one, but I still see the value in at least telling people who this little corner is for.
also YELL AT ME ON DISCORD I'M woahits_alex.mp3 IF U ASK ME ABOUT FIC RECS FOR MY FANDOMS I'LL CRY WITH HAPPINESS
you are welcome here:
- ALL queers. trans men, trans women, nonbinary, intersex, xenogender, "contradictory" labels like mspec gays/lesbians lesboys/sapphileans (omg it's me!!), slur reclaims, detransitioners who are not transphobic, mspec lesbians, aro/ace and all variations thereupon, unlabeled, questioning, etc. I love all of you. I love the community that we have. we are family, whether or not some of us want to be, and exclusionism is Not Funky Fresh!!
- pro Palestine!! I don't rb posts as much (I am scared of spreading misinformation) but I think I'll start doing that again! (don't forget your daily click guys)
- jewish people. I am specifically adding this one to say that because of the shitty Everything, I sincerely hope I have never spread any antisemitic rhetoric in support of Palestine, reblogs or otherwise. it is not your guys' job to educate me, but I hope it's clear that I'm operating in good faith.
- disabilities/cluster b disorders/systems/AAC users. I am not any of these things so if I say/do something out of line please tell me! but I love you guys and you're absolutely welcome here.
- proshippers (if this bothers you block and move on)
- furries. not personally one of y'all but I think you're neat :]
- literally, like, anyone, as long as you're not a dick
you are not welcome here:
- terfs, transphobes, exclusionists, anti-mspec, anti-lesboy, and people who think transandrophobia is "fake" or whatever. go away I don't like you (or at least be prepared to be blocked or yelled at)
- similarly to last, anyone who starts queer infighting or hates on less visible queers/strangers who don't "look" queer (I don't care if you think someone is cishet. you have no way of knowing that. let's stop hating people for immutable characteristics and start having thoughtful criticisms of people's actions thanks)
- ZIONISTS. BYE BYE
- (but also antisemites because come on now let's not do this. judiasm ≠ zionism)
- ableists, fatphobia, general dickheads. also if you're the kind of person who would tell me irl that I'm a failure for dropping out, I don't want you here!!! surprise!!!
- antis (again, either leave now or expect to be argued with)
other stuff under the cut bc this is already too long:
- I accept anonymous asks! and also non anonymous ones. ask me shit idk
- I am autistic and VERY gullible. if I reblog a "bait" post, or something that's clearly fake or a joke with a genuine reaction, I'm probably not playing some 5d irony chess I'm probably just stupid. y'all I'm sorry I'm trying :\
- I don't rb nsfw. not as, like, a rule, I just don't see the value in doing so lol. if I ever did I'd tag it and probably update this
- I argue with people!! I enjoy arguing with people!! usually it's in replies and not reblogs but still. if you are allergic to discourse maybe don't follow me? I also rb "discourse" posts, mostly transmasc support stuff, general solidarity stuff with the trans community or lgbt community as a whole, politics, current events, that kinda thing.
- this is, shockingly, supposed to be a fandom blog (I got carried away). current fandoms include: Ace Attorney (the one this blog was supposed to be about), Doctor Who (childhood hyperfixation come back to bite my ass), and Splatoon (no excuse). also MHA is basically my abusive boyfriend at this point but I'm trying to get better (not). you can find the records of my failing recovery at @alex-is-losing-sleep-over-krbk /hj (I also shamelessly rb my own posts over there lol)
and I guess since I'm mentioning fandoms, here my fav ships: wrightworth, klapollo, franmaya, thoschei, pearlina, agent 24. also somehow, completely inexplicably, cuttletavio. listen I read like one really good fic and I just think—
anyways, that's about it. love you all :]

So I watched Star Trek 2009 again and decided to do some more in depth note taking this time around, and decided to post it here. I'll be honest though most of it is me pushing the mcspirk agenda and complaining about the uniforms
Disclaimer! This constrains spoilers for this movie and also Star Trek into darkness, I will also say here that I am an autistic queer man, and I refer to a lot of Spock's behavior as autistic, if that is something that makes you uncomfortable them maybe you should skip this post.
Also the spacing is weird but I'm not gonna fix it, sorry :/
Anyway! Onto the post itself.
-----------------------------------
So I'm watching this movie again, I feel like I will like it much better now that I have my own twisted perception of this movie 👍🏻
--
It's unfair the amount of power this soundtrack has over me
--
This movie is truly beautiful, the uss kelvin is a gorgeous ship
And the sounds?? Ugh, I love it
--
I love the fake out they did there, I know so many old trekkies in the theater were like "THERE THE ENTERPRISE!!! LOOK AT HER!!! THERES THE BRIDGE!!! Oh wait..."
--
I love the funky shape the kelvin has
--
Ok so, what era are these uniforms supposed to be in? It's not the same ones from Archers days, and even though this is *technically* the point where the timeline diverges, these uniforms had to be canonical in the prime timeline too bc obviously hey were wearing them before they discovered the anomaly.
I'm guessing they just wanted to show that it was in the past? I'm pretty sure these uniforms were invented for this movie specifically.
We're only 1 minute and 43 seconds in.
--
Yea that ship is pretty damn scary
--
Oh em gee is Chris Hemsworth, wonder what he's doing here
Side note, when I first watched this I thought he was actually Chris Pine, but I kept going like "hmmm something ain't right here" yeah doofus you got the wrong Chris
It's even funnier when u know that I'm actually a big MCU fan and did a whole marathon of all the movies like a year ago, just full on did not recognize Chris Hemsworth
("Wow Lynsey, you're an MCU fan? How cringe!" Yeah whatever I know, I know, it's got a million and ten problems with it, but hey I love a good fix-it)
--
Fucking side note- this opening battle scene is gruesome as fuck, I remember watching this the first time and just being like "damn, three minutes in and already we have bodies flying through space??"
--
Ok so is this canonically what future romulans look like?? Bc this is not what romulans look like in any of the other shows, including SNW but that's all in the "past" so...?
--
I do find it interesting how many different species they have in starfleet here, because again up until the very minute that wormhole appeared, this was the prime timeline (which begs the question, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO KHAN??) so that means that in TOS they also technically would have had several other species in starfleet at any given time, obviously we don't see that in TOS itself bc of primary budget issues (that's why Spocks makeup wasn't super inhuman and stuff, bc they didn't have the money to put a regular character in super complex makeup every episode) but this little detail opens up a window of possibilities that I find really fun
Like because of this movie, my TOS crew of OC's has an Orion and two Vulcans in their senior staff (I know I know most Vulcans at that time wouldn't be caught dead in starfleet but they're my dollys and I get to decide what they look like!)
--
I'm back like, an hour later!
Let's get right to it!
--
He really does like like Chris pine, like I'm not going crazy, am I?
Is it just a Chris thing??
But yeah I can see why all the fics are like "Jim looks EXACTLY like his dad" cuz yeah they kinda do look like brothers if nothing else
--
Again I wonder what the theater reaction was to that "Kirk!? JIM Kirk?? But I thought he was played by a different blond twink!"
(Listen I'm sorry to say it but Chris Pine was a twink in this movie, it's just the truth! He gets more twunky as the movies go on, though.)
--
It's so weird to hear Chris Hemsworth speak with an American accent, or at least his attempt at one
--
Do we ever hear about this captain like, ever again?
--
I love the romulan language dude
--
Wait so do the romulans just straight up not have the eyebrow ridges? Like I think I read somewhere that sometimes they don't have them, but it looks like this entire crew doesn't have them
I'm confused
--
All I can hear when I look at Nero is the wackes bonkes audio that was going around on TikTok like, two years ago
Idk he just gives me that vibe
--
Spack! :D
Also I'll say right here right now, I do not support this ending for Spock prime!! I will give her a happy ending even if I have to forge it with my own to hands!!
--
GASP 😱 we're in the past!
--
I hate the fact that I had a Once phase, because all I can see is Emma so to me it's like a really weird crossover fic where Emma Swan and Thors child is Jim Kirk
What a mix
--
GASP! 😱 what ever will he do!
--
He sounds soooo confident that the baby will be ok
--
Them both being blond and blue eyed gives me the ick
--
Damn, poor Jim. Now he's got a million and ten allergies.
--
Ok ok ok I know this is supposed to be super emotional (and to be fair it is pretty emotional) but with all the fics I've read and fan content I've consumed where Jim's dad dying kinda fucked him over and Winona leaving him as soon as she could just makes me apathetic towards them.
So... yeah.
And I know none of that's canon (I don't think? We'll see as the movie goes on and I remember shit) unless I've missed a book or ten somewhere that provides all this extra information (like where frank came from, sam leaving, basically all the troupes we see with most AOS fics)
--
Damn, I gotta say that's pretty traumatizing
--
Star Trek!!!
Yep, we just got to the title sequence :)
--
Baby Jim!!
Ok so canonically Winona is off planet
--
I do love the fact that Jim listens to dad rock. Why? Because I listen to dad rock!! And it's very important to me that Jim does too!!
--
Ok so from the fics, that is supposed to be Sam, right?? But is that confirmed anywhere?? Also they never said who was on the phone, I just knew because of the fics
Where did all this extra info come from??
--
Oh, nope that's some kid named Johnny oops
--
Let's hope that we don't have cops in the 23rd century, thank you.
--
The trauma. This kid.
--
SPACK!
--
If I'm not mistaken (I probably am) this is one f the first good looks we get at an actual Vulcan city, right? Like in TOS we only got the ritual grounds, in TOSM we got the other ritual grounds, and then the other other ritual grounds, but we never really saw a city of any kind, did we? It's been a minute I might be mistaken.
And then in TNG, we only really saw some of Sareks home and not much else of Vulcan, but then again I haven't watch the majority of Trek so maybe in Voyager or one of the other shows we see more
Anyway, I choose to believe that Vulcan cities look way more colorful then this, you can't convince me otherwise!
--
When the Vulcan children are in the learning sphere it makes it look like the floor is actually a really big doughnut pan
--
BABY SPOOOOOOCK 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
SHES LITERALLY THE SMALLEST BABY IN THE WORLDDDDD HOW CAN YOU BULLY HIM YOU BASTARDSSSS
GAHHHHH I LOVE HERRRR
--
My question is what Vulcan would think this is logical behavior. Like I know that they're xenophobic and like obviously they couldn't care less about logic when it comes to that so it doesn't really matter, but you go up to possibly the golden standard of Vulcan ideology and act like that?? And then say he's the one who's illogical and out of place?? Look In a mirror bud.
--
BEAR HIM UP! BEAT HIM UP! BEAT HIM UP!
--
I don't know how I feel about Sarek being British
--
Sarek I'm not entirely sure that's what they intended when they made you ambassador to earth 💀💀 but I see where Spock get her "Ah yes, it is perfectly logical to have sex with my human captain and the CMO, it builds respect and is a great team exercise."
--
Sure bitch
--
It was so random to cast Winona Rider as Spocks mom, I'm not complaining ofc, I love Winona, but just so random
--
See, I can't just let her be killed off when she's that damn nice. I refuse! Amanda lives!
--
Idk what kind of gay little outfit this is bust it works for Spock, honestly. Idk I just feel like he can pull it off but if anyone else wore it it'd look ridiculous.
Is that because Spock is my favorite and therefore can do no wrong?
No! Be quiet you!
--
YEAAAHHHH!!!! GET 'M SPOCK!!! TELL THEM WHATS WHAT!!! BE A BITCH!!! FLIP THEM OFF!!! TELL THEM WHERE THEY CAN SHOVE IT!!!!
--
I literally love her so much.
--
The one bar in Iowa 💀
--
I never know how to feel about this scene.
--
Jim Kirk you literally bitch. I love him with my entire heart.
--
Kirk...
--
Jim Kirk is a gay bitch (he's bi but still)
--
KIRKKKK 💀💀💀
--
Ok that was unnecessary. :| fucking 2009.
--
Kirk: you can whistle really loud, did you know that?
I... cannot tell you how much Jimby Kirk means to me. Just- he is so absolutely important to my wellbeing. I love him so so so much.
--
I want a tiny star ship salt shaker
--
It's also very important to me that he rides a motorcycle, because I love motorcycles
Can you tell I'm very heavily attached to AOS Jim Kirk? I don't know how good that is for my health
--
WEAR A DAMN HELMET YOU DUMBASS!!! YOU CAN STILL CRASH!!!
--
The Enterprise 🥹
--
Did they just let him in? No questions?
--
BONES! BONES! BONES!
LET ME SEE HIMMMM!!!!
--
BONESSSSSSSSS!!!!! THERE HE ISSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
--
I just- they all mean so damn much to me
I also identify with Bones so much because I too am a southern queer
--
Ok I'm sorry, I love Karl Urban, but again I am a southerner and this accent... 💀 I just can't
It's so damn funny to me
--
You look a little love struck there Jimby 🤨🏳️‍🌈
--
Ahaha I hope nothing bad is about to happen
--
Ok no the romulans do have the eyebrow ridges, they're just not very prominent
--
Wakus bonkus
--
:( Spock prime
--
I'm sure he does, I bet he studies your ass every second he gets 💀💀
Also I paused just as they cut to the scene with Jim and Gaila 😬 that's fun.
--
Ok- first off, very interesting that Uhura doesn't even blink at Gaila being in her underwear, but then proceeds to undress in front of her
Gay? More likely then you think.
Also, can they stop making Jim a creep? Thanks.
--
Well. I can confirm I am a gay man.
--
I love her tone here
--
Bones is over this shit
--
BISEXUAL BITCHY KIRK!!!
--
Jim 💀
--
SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK!
THERE SHE ISSSS
LIGHT OF MY LIFEEE
--
Kirk 💀 why must you cheat
--
I can physically hear Jim's thoughts going "oh no she's HOT" when he saw Spock stand up
--
First off- I love how Spocks the type of autistic that makes too much eye contact, like this whole time he's just 👁️👁️ LASER focused on Jim's face
Second, that's a lowwwww blow Spock 💀 damn.
--
Gehhsjchdishsjs I feel sickkk
I hate that I know what's coming.
Honestly, I started writing fics just so I can fix this kind of thing, bc in my mind Vulcan is not destroyed! Fuck you!
--
(Don't mind me just reading the name plates of all the admirals)
--
SEE BONES IS INTO SPOCK TOO!!!
THEYRE ALL GAY!!
--
(Ok I need to stop for now cuz it's late and I have things to do, I made it 35 minutes and 29 seconds through!)
--
(I'm bAAAaaaack!)
--
Bones hair flying in the wind 💀 he looks so disgruntled
--
How tall is Chris Pine? I didn't think he was very tall but he towers over this random commander
Maybe that guys just short tho
--
Bones, you poor poor fool, you're so in love with Jim. One kicked puppy look and it's all over for you
--
Gehhhhh I am not here for the Spock x Uhura relationshipppppp
The worst part is, is that I honestly think Spock and Uhura could work, not in these movies obviously with how abhorrently they write Uhura to be a #girlboss (and then they did the same thing with chapel in SNW) but I think that if it was written by someone who like, actually cared about the characters then I feel like it could work
But also that because I headcanon Spock using he/she pronouns and being just all over the queer spectrum, and I also headcanon Uhura as the number one lesbian of the year, so I think the dynamic between those specific headcanons would be very interesting to see
Anywho!
--
Ok now that I'm looking at this relationship through the lens that they are both lesbians I don't mind it as much
--
BONES 💀 YOU ARE SO GONE ON THIS MAN
"Just sitting there looking all pathetic" HE IS SO IN LOVE WITH JIM ARE YOU KIDDING ME
--
I... fucking love Bones so much. I can't even put it into words
--
THERE SHE ISSSSS THE ENTERPRISEEEEE
--
It seems my opinion on the new uniforms has not changed. Idk what happened but I just do not like how they redesigned the classic tos uniforms, it feels like they took the sparkle out of them, whatever that means
--
Spack! :D
--
Ok like. Why do the uniforms just look like a tee shirt and jeans? They don't look like a uniform!!
I also hate the longer cut on the shirt, the higher waist line from tos along with the sleeker pants just looked better to me
ALSO WHY DO THE DRESSES HAVE SHORT SLEEVES??? HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TELL SOMEONES RANK WHEN THEY DONT HAVE THE STRIPES???
--
And then the delta just printed all over the shirt but there no texture to it... it's like those cheap bodysuit cosplays you can get online where they just print whatever the character is wearing onto a polyester bodysuit that warps whenever you stretch it too far
And the shirt isn't tailored at all!! It's so baggy!! Like Spock was looking at her station, kinda leaning over, and the collar of his science blues was like sticking out because the shirts fit like shit!
Anyway... I got big feelings about these uniforms
--
I ALSO hate how they attempted to make it look like the shirts were sewn like they were in tos (y'know with that weird shoulder seam they had? I don't know the name of it) but then they're actually just sewn the normal way?? So there's like, double the seams??
--
Sulu!!
--
I literally love the dynamic between Bones and Jim so much. He just knocked him the fuck out without even blinking. I love it
--
Chekov :(
--
One of my favorite things that Bones does is follow Jim around with a regenerator because he knows that Jim Will Not sit still long enough for him to like actually do his job normally so he's had to adapt
--
THAT looked like Jim was gonna kiss him
--
Haha..ha... I wonder why they're drilling into the surface of Vulcan... it'll probably be fine...
--
Spock is like "what a reckless and intriguing man. I Must Have Him"
--
I saw that glance gay boy
--
Damn this movie is actually kinda intense
--
I hate that I know what's gonna happen
--
✨Spock and her autism✨
--
THAT WAS A GAY ASS LOOK KIRK
--
That guy reminds me of the Skyrim guards
--
Godddd that is so damn scaryyyyy
--
Fuckkkk that is so. Fucking. Terrifying. Instantly vaporized.
--
My question is why didn't they immediately start evacuating Vulcan the second they could
--
God. I feel physically sick knowing what's about to happen
--
God.
--
Gut wrenching.
--
Six billion.
--
God damn.
On a side note, I find that I don't mind the relationship between Uhura and Spock as long as I imagine that they're either in a QPR or are lesbians
I still don't like how they reduced Uhuras character to being Spock's girlfriend tho, especially in into darkness.
Anyway. I'm still reeling over Vulcan being destroyed. That was fucking devastating. I can't even think about it
This is why 90% of my AOS writing either takes place during the academy or is an AU
--
Who the fuck is Nero's actor?? Why do I recognize him??
One sec now I gotta look it up
I looked him up and I literally don't know him from anything except Star Trek, so I guess he just reminds me of someone else but idk who
--
Ok but. Romulus was destroyed because the star went supernova, not because the federation or Vulcan went after it, right? Like I'm not misremembering that, am I? Guess we'll see.
Like I know Spock got there too late to save it, but Romulus is still gonna be destroyed?? If anything he just made it far less likely that Romulus will survive now that most of the Vulcan scientists that came up with red matter are dead.
--
I fucking hate those thingssss
--
I love that Kirk is already in the captains chair, he's just that much of a bitch
--
They totally just wrote that in so Spock could nerve pinch someone 💀💀
--
Damn. Really just dumped him on an ice planet
--
Run bitch!!
--
Spock :(
--
Oh my god. The look in his eyes. How does anyone expect me to be ok after that.
--
Heart wrenching.
Spock hasn't seen her Jim for decades. Possibly even a century. And the first time she sees him again, he doesn't recognize her.
And I know, I know, timeline shit, but like, could you imagine how devastating that is? To see your lost loved one and them just straight up not even know you? And Vulcans feel emotions so much stronger too.
--
Yea so see? They didn't personally destroy the planet! It a was natural space disaster! And Nero probably just fucked up any chance of them being saved from it!
--
Man, now I want to watch TOS again so I can see Spock happy.
--
Spock to McCoy: I understand that James Kirk is a ""friend"" of yours
It's ok you can call them boyfriends
--
These southern phrases they have Bones saying are insane 💀 not once during my life as a southerner have I ever heard someone say that, and I hear weird shit come out of other southerners mouths every day. We make shit up, but nothing that damn complicated 💀💀
--
SPOCK YOU ABSOLUTE CUNT 💀💀💀
SHES LITERALLY GOT A SMIRK ON HIS FACE RIGHT NOW
I missed bitchy Spock 💕
--
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BITCHHHHHHH
Sorry McCoy I don't think you can come back from that 💀💀💀💀💀 Damn
--
Ok no need to be racist McCoy
Or xenophobic, technically
--
Oh don't worry Spock prime, Jim's tiny little human arms got the door, just keep on walking down the hall
--
SCOTTYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
--
THERES THAT CHAOTIC SON OF A BITCH!!!
--
YOU DUMBASS 💀💀💀 I DIDNT KNOW HE USED ARCHERS DOG 💀💀💀
--
AOS Scotty is one of my absolute favorite things in the world
--
Kirks over this destiny shit, man
--
And then Spock prime breaks that rule himself 💀💀 I think she just didn't want to deal with her angsty younger self
--
Fuck Spock prime doesn't even know this version of his mom is dead too
--
WAHHHHHHAHA 😭😭😭 THAT OLD FRIEND WAS JIMMMMM BECAUSE HE FUCKING CHEATED THE SYSTEM ALL THE TIMEEEEEE
--
you got this Kirk, don't worry about it
--
There was way more water in that pipe then that
--
Spock: un-fucking-believable. He found his way back onto the ship. I Must Have Him.
--
Ohhh shit here comes one of my absolute least favorites scenes. THE PAINNNNN
--
Oh my goddd like I know why Jim is doing this but it HURTS and it makes me want to DIE
--
Oh my god oh my god STOP
--
STOOOOP
--
GET EM!!! GET HIS ASS!!! SHOOT HIM INTO SPACE!!!
But not rlly cuz I love him
--
And that single shot of Kirk changed the entire fandom. For the better? For the worse? Who's to say
--
Scotty 💀💀💀💀
--
Yeah fair 💀
--
Oh my goddd the cut of these shirts bothers me SO MUCH
THEY LOOK AWFULLLLLL
IT LITERALLY TURNS EVERYONE THAT WHERES THEM INTO A SHAPELESS BOX
except if you're a woman, then that thing is tailored to your body like a glove 🙄
--
Its guns-UH-blazing, McCoy! Get it right
--
I can't explain in but Spock is standing in a very autistic way
--
WHAT IS THIS LOOK SHES GIVING KIRK RIGHT NOW
"Vulcans don't show emotion" MY ASS!!! SPOCKS ALREADY SMITTEN!!
--
They are standing veryyy close
--
OK WHAT WAS THAT SLAP SOUND EFFECT 💀
And Spocks face after 💀💀 pure regret
--
Ok no thanks I'd rather not see them make out
😐
--
Gaygaygaygay
--
Kirk "oh wow that weird, wonder why it called u ambassador, that so random" 💀💀
--
YALL CANT JUST STARE INTO EACH OTHERS EYES LIKE THAT WHILE STANDING TWO INCHES APART AND THEN CLAME THAT SPOCK AND JIM ARE 100% CISHET
I WONT BELIEVE IT!!
--
Spock finding a chair that swivels on its own fascinating is extremely autistic
--
Dude the Vulcan ship is literally so damn cool
--
Whys this damn thing got no safety rails?? Isn't this a ship from the future?? I figured you'd be at least a little concerned with safety, holy shit
--
I really thought Nero went "FUCK!!!" But he was just saying Spock 💀
--
Jimbyyyy Kirk, what a sad lil boy
--
And that's how you break several ribs
--
Ok damn I got chills when the enterprise appeared
--
"Jim!" "Bones!"
HOMOS!
--
OH MY GODDDD THEY ARE LITERALLY FLIRTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEEE
--
The enterprise looks so tiny
--
damn, got chills again
--
GAY
--
Ok one sec I know that this is like an "omg Spock and Spock are talking!" Thing but-
SEE THEY KNOW HOW TO TAILOR SHIT!! THAT PROFESSOR UNIFORM LOOKS GREAT ON SPOCK!! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WITH THE OTHER UNIFORMS!!
--
Spock prime knows exactly what's going on. She really said "that's gonna be one of your husbands, couldn't get in the way of that lmao"
--
AGAIN EVEN THE ADMIRAL UNIFORM LOOKS BETTER THEN THE STANDARD UNIFORM!!
--
Gay! They are GAY!
--
GAY AGAIN!! THEY ARE ALL FUCKIG GAY!!!
--
AHHHH THE ORIGINAL INTRO ;;;0;;;
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING
also that was the end of the movie! I didn't time myself this time around, but I would say all in all it probably took me like three hours to watch this movie, maybe more
Anywho! Maybe I'll watch into darkness again soon so I can cringe (not that I don't like the movie, it's a fun time, but there are some bits that are just... yikes, y'know? Namely Khan)
