#you want to give kirk some real hubris? you want that no-win scenario to stick?

[diesoonandsuffer]

imagine if spock coming back to life hadn’t really worked. he’s clearly not himself for a while but it seems to wear off within a few weeks and the arc takes place in a fairly lighthearted comedic movie.

you want khan to be wrathful? you want that to have real stakes? you want a no-win scenario? have spock come back wrong. his eyes are always a little vacant and he doesn’t find anything fascinating. his neck-pinches do more than just incapacitate you. he barely remembers his friends.

make him wrong. make him gangly. make him tilted.

kirk would be clawing at the ground to figure out what was wrong. he already sacrificed everything for spock and it wasn’t enough. what more would he be willing to do? what else is there to burn? 

#i know that when kirk originally started the whole sacrifice my life and career for spock thing he was really trying just to get his soul #back to vulcan so he can bury him #i get that the necromancy was a bonus #but once that was an option he said okay. let it burn. #my son and my ship. it's fine. #you want to give kirk some real hubris? you want that no-win scenario to stick? #make spock a little fucked up. for fun. #obviously i personally don't want spock to be fucked up. i want them to have gay sex. #but necromancy is a very loaded concept #and nothing ever really comes back the same #so i wonder. #anyway #sam's thots #kirk #spock #spirk #tos #tsfs #tvh #wok #god. kirk was already pissed off when spock wouldn't call him jim. #if spock wasn't right there would be a war i think.
