Sesame Street (1969-Present)

Saw a post with Chapel/Spock interactions in TOS and SNW, and honestly, I change my mind, I don't think it's fair to say she necessarily wishes Spock were human, or prefers his "human side" more.

But I think there's an audible difference between how Chapel expresses her love for Spock and how Jim expresses his. Jim never has any expectations of what Spock should be like in their friendship, Jim takes what Spock is willing to give him. Jim enjoys Spock's friendship, and finds it compatible, so he will seek out more interactions with Spock. But if Spock didn't feel the same, Jim would have simply moved on.

Their relationship works specifically because they don't give each other unreasonable expectations. Spock and Jim simply are. And what they have, as a result, is a bond that works off and plays off each other. They're what the other has been missing their whole life. It's not a relationship, it's simply each other's company that draws them. And it can express itself romantically, platonically, familiarly. But it doesn't need to be placed in a box to be secure.

When we match this up with Chapel and Spock's relationship, Spock is exploring his human and vulcan side in SNW, but the connection between both the women he interacts with appears less than romantic, more like Spock entangling his feelings of friendship with romance to the two women who have pursued him.

Chapel, while combating her own commitment issues, simply either expects too much from Spock, or too little. She falls in love with Spock hard and fast, but its after a string of failed relationships that she sabotaged herself. Maybe Spock can be different, because he's the perfect guy to love. Courageous, smart, kind, and they become friends fast, if she can commit to anyone, it should be him. But she soon finds she can't. Then presumably abandons the relationship (yet to be seen, but pretty sure it's going this route). Chapel and Spock started their relationship off on unequal footing.

And tbh, if we follow TOS, their friendship doesn't really withstand their breakup. We still have Chapel pining, we see that Spock has quite visibly moved on, but they don't even spend much time together outside of hanging out with McCoy or Jim. Their very beginnings were hinged on the idea of a romance, not a friendship, but I do believe Chapel does love Spock, who he is as a half human and a half vulcan, it's just unfortunately quite unrequited even when it's seemingly requited.

I don't talk much about my Tav because, in all honesty, I'm not fond of that hoe

The rebellion era was a group effort. It wasn't just one person or two who are solely responsible for its success. They are all interconnected, it was a web of effort from everyone. One's sacrifice must be honored by another to make it worth it and drive them to their goal, so on and so forth. That's the whole point of it. As a Luke Skywalker stan I have recognized his importance without belittling everyone else's contributions. When will other rebel fans follow suit.

Doctor: Do these exercises for a month, then schedule an appointment and we can check on your leg.

Me: Best I can do is a week.

i want more hours and more energy and more focus and less time dedicated to managing the mundane but i KNOW that i need to manage the mundane to sustainably have energy to do the things i want to do even if i feel like managing the mundane eats at least 80% of my time. grumble grumble

Okay is it just me or doe everyone who visits their mystery island want to shake the turtle every time you end up on the same islands and none of the alternate islands we were promised.if I wanted to just visit my own island with the same fruit and vegetables or work island with vines, I’d just stay home or go to work and not spend the miles and listen to the repeated songs. 😔

enlighten me. why is there a fucking coffee cart thing with three different artificial sweeteners and stir sticks and cups in my workplace’s kitchen but not a single drop of milk or half and half or anything to be seen Anywhere in the room. why

kim dokja you aggravating bastard.

I try to explain to my sisters that there is going to be a difference in the way we think because I've been going to therapy for 4+ years, and some of them have only spent a little bit of time in therapy. One of them hasn't gone at all, I don't believe. They think I'm trying to be better than them, when that's not it. Y'all don't understand certain things. I have to constantly realize that I can't have certain conversations with certain people. I have a highly evolved and involved mind. So, hearing basic, generic advice about my mental health and other struggles piss me off tremendously. My sisters really tried to "Have you tried Jesus?" me yesterday. I just wanted to update them on how I was feeling, but there's a reason I go to therapy. I feel like I'll try to withdraw my energy more and more from my immediate family members in my 30s.

Aggressive

It was aggressive but it wasn't against the Law It was egregious but there was legal precedence It was aggravating but being arbitrated It's an attitude not an atroCity It's attenuated not attainable It's a crewing not a costing
