I stumbled upon this article about Shatner and Wesley’s mutual respect for each other -- but please pay attention to the title.

You guys, a Kirk circle-jerk is a “circle-Kirk”.  Today I learned.

WHO WROTE THIS.

WHO WROTE THIS TOP TIER PUN.

Wherever they are, give them a raise.

i think the primary reason why K/S has such overwhelming appeal is and always shall be that it is, at its core, a soulmate bond that has to be forged. the only way a t'hy'la bond can manifest is through shared toil, hardships, and undying devotion; it must be given effort and put together piece by piece - but at the same time, by the nature of its creation, it alters all realities on a cosmic level, to the point that Kirk and Spock must meet in every universe.

t'hy'la is not spontaneous. it is not a soulmate mark, it doesn't spring to life at first sight or first touch or first word. it is destined - because it is chosen, time and time again. you cannot have one without the other

The nature of humanity is that every few years someone reinvents the mothership of ships and my pattern recognition skills are left to deal with the consequences.

discussing star trek with my dad (a 60 yo conservative man) and discussing star trek on here are such different experiences you'd wonder if we've actually seen the same show,,,

Do you see my vision

I wish I do the right things. - You know what I wished for just now? I wished for your dreams to become a reality.... - Let’s get married. GAP The Series Ep.10

Anson Mount about Chris Pine's Captain Kirk → SDCC 2022 interview for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, alongside Ethan Peck, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding and Paul Wesley

Q: Do you have a favourite Star Trek captain and was there one in particular that you took extra inspiration from when preparing for the role of Christopher Pike? "Not really. Obviously, I went back and re-watched Jeffrey Hunter's work. I grew up watching The Original Series and I'm a big Shatner fan. And Junior High School was the beginning of The Next Generation. I like all of them. But, honestly, I was more concerned about making a new captain, and wanted to differentiate him from everything else we'd had before." - Anson Mount

Here's a previous interview with Anson complimenting Chris Pine! :)

Maybe I’m just a glass half full guy that sounds like a broken record. But oh BOY what if I told you I feel like all the Chapel/Spock stuff happening in SNW isn’t a invalidation/detriment to Spock’s relationship with Kirk but in fact makes in BETTER?

Every time I see Spock and Chapel have chemistry together it reminds me of cinematic parallels between Jim & Spock. In fact I’ve made a gif set about it! And I’ll honestly probably make more!

As a matter of fact all I could think about when Spock was staring all sad at wounded Chapel in sickbay was basically the SAME damn scene after Jim gets stabbed in Journey To Babel.

Or like, any number of times Jim or Spock moped yearningly around in sickbay when the other was gravely injured. It’s classic sappy shippy nonsense, they already did it with Kirk, that’s in the future. And given the vibes Chapel & Spock have on-screen in TOS (especially in The Naked Time, Amok Time, and Return To Tomorrow! Which also each have incredibly emotionally charged scenes with Jim as well) all this drama makes sense!

I’m personally taking it as affirmation that Spock & Jim have the same type of chemistry in TOS that Spock used to have with Chapel in SNW before the inevitable drama that’ll end in Spock suppressing his humanity and Christine getting engaged to somebody else.

Maybe I’m just a sucker for doomed romance (and Spock’s getting a 2 for 1 deal lmfao) It’s all very “Someone Like You by Adele” if you ask me and frankly I’m super here for it!

actual footage of me at work today bc i have to stare at an excelsheet for 8 hours  🥴

male actors used to be rectangles. squares. barrel chested. and now theyre all six-packed WHORES. no more! death to the dehydration diet, more slightly puffy-faced men. and more transatlantic accents. and tits

Rye: You and Scotch seem awfully close despite having just met. You know him well?

Bourbon: Barely. But there's one thing about him that I have discovered.

Rye: And that is?

Bourbon: I like him better than I like you.

Rye:

Rye: Actually, there's also something I instantly liked about Scotch.

Bourbon: What is that?

Rye: He doesn't talk too much.

I would let this man put a baby in me and then let him deliver it

Ozanlar benden, –erkek– kahramanın karşısında diz çöküp merhamet dilenen bir kadın olarak bahsetti hep; ilaç katarmışım tatlı şaraplarına, büyüleyip domuza çevirirmişim hızlı giden gemilerin tayfasını, babaevini unutturur, sılaya kavuşmalarına müsaade etmezmişim. Ne demeli, kadınlara haddini bildirmek ozanların en sevdiği vakit geçirme biçimidir; yerlerde sürünüp ağlamazsak gerçek bir hikâye olmazmış gibi. Ama yanılıyorlar, yanılıyorsunuz: Cadılık illa nefret, kıskançlık ya da başka türlü bir kötülükten doğmaz; ben ilk büyümü aşkımdan yapmıştım. Ben, Helios’un kızı, Aiaie Cadısı Kirke. Hayatım boyunca trajedinin beni bulmasını bekledim. Bulacağından hiç kuşkum yoktu çünkü başkalarının hak ettiğimi düşündüğünden daha fazla arzum, isyanım ve gücüm vardı, yıldırımları üstüne çekecek şeylerdi bunlar. Ve bir gün, artık bu dünyaya dayanamayacağım, diye düşündüm. Bunun üzerine denizin derinliklerindeki kadim bir tanrı seslendi: Öyleyse çocuğum, başka bir dünya yap.
