sometimes I think my autism isn’t that bad and that past hyperfixations haven’t affected me that much but then I remember the time that my wife put on a movie while I was out of the room and I walked into the room while it was starting and asked “What’re we watching?” Only to look at the screen, see the literal first second and go “High School Musical 3?” And I was right. It imprinted itself in my brain that bad.
I remember when I watched this episode and my wife and I were like “they are literally crazy for this”
UMM ?? THAT IS KIRK TALKING TO HIM?!! THAT IS CAPTAIN KIRK TALKING TO HIM.
I feel like they went as far as they could with the queer ''subtext'' at the time in the very last episode. Especially since these scenes are technically with an actress. They truly went all out
listening to sad songs alone in my room with the same energy as someone who got broken up with but really i'm just sad i can't text them for the 7th time today without being annoying
Thinking about how in the Naked Time, both Kirk and Spock admit to being lonely. Kirk knows that as captain he can't date or marry anyone on the Enterprise and Spock as a Vulcan doesn't feel like he can form friendships at all, "when I feel friendship for you I am ashamed." and Kirk saying, "I've always known I'll die alone" in the Final Frontier. And Spock dying on the other side of an impenetrable barrier to Kirk, reaching out but not touching. And Kirk going through hell to bring him back to life, always saying he's married to the Enterprise and he doesn't need a woman but blowing the whole ship up for Spock, the first person Spock recognises being Kirk. And what if I just killed myself.
