Bless the writers for giving Kirk his inherent romanticism and not the f*ckboy reputation that developed over time

i love you / i need to / who am i? / without you?

Credit goes to YouTuber fatmanfalling’s review of subspace rhapsody. I think he raises some good points about the lack of variety in the musical numbers as well as what the characters sing about barely/not driving the plot forward at all.

My Google search: what color are paul wesley’s eyes

My reason for searching: had to decide if Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift was a Ka’an song because of the “green eyes” lyric

My conclusion: yes

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 -Flying is lesson one

Quaritch wakes up only to meet (Y/n) beautiful eyes gazing down at him. Yesterday felt like a dream. He never imagined himself to be in this position. But anything to make Jake Sully pay for his sins. “Lik'en,” She said. He looked confused at her. “Get up.” (Y/n) repeats in a more annoyed tone. “We will have to teach you our language. You are like a baby. You know nothing of our ways.” This earned a simple eye roll.

“So I assume we will be going over the language barrier today?” He stood up slowly standing a whole foot taller than (Y/n). Mastering the language would be the hardest part; everything else he figures would be easy. In the marine core, they trained him for many scenarios, but the likes of Pandora had not been one. But how hard could it be? “Unless you have something else in mind, princess.” He grins a flirty tone. (Y/n) looked down. 

“No, first we eat and then we ride.” She comments. Quaritch follows her. She tossed him a rather odd fruit-like food. It resembles a dragon fruit but on a much larger scale. “Lesson one is flying.” Quaritch chuckled.

“I already have that down with my Ikran.” He bit down on the fruit taking in its sweet flavor. He truly liked Pandor and could not wait until it belong to them. 

(Y/n) chuckled also eating her fruit as they walked through the village. “No, I am talking about another animal. Bigger, stronger, and faster than any Ikran. We use the Ikran for many tasks. But  Kamimaljuyú has another way of flight. They are part of our clan and have been since the dawn of time.” She called out for her Ikran who soon arrived along with Quaritchs. “We have many sub-villages in our large domain. However, these creatures live farther out to the east.”

“SISTER!” Called (Y/n)’s younger brother landing beside her Ikran. “The Mamífero Ka’anal’s have just given birth hurry!” Quaritch has never seen anyone this happy before. He took a mental note that these Mamífero Ka’anals could be a weak point in this clan. He nods over to (Y/n) and they both take off flying deeper into the clan’s territory. Quaritch knew he hit the jackpot landing here. If he could mate with the Princess all of this land, people, and warriors could be his to command. “Hurry before the children find their soul animal.” Her brother, Balam, smiled. Quaritch’s eyes widen and his ears go back once the large creatures come into sight.

The humans had very little information about this creature. He could remember the small paragraph written over these ‘Sky Bison’ in human terminology. They were large animals of the sky, they belong to the air clans, every ten years they could be seen on migration, and they would disappear into the mountains never to be seen again. They land next to other Ikrans. He noticed many children possibly around 9 years old gather at the edge with food in hand.

“What the hell are they?” He asked. (Y/n) smiled softly seeing the baby Mamífero Ka’anal’s fly around their mothers. 

“They are the Mamífero Ka’anals Great warriors in the sky. Or as your people might call them Sky Bison’s as they resemble an earth creature. They are part of our family.”

“Why are the children here?” He asked, walking closer toward the edge. An animal like this in a war would be unstoppable. 

“In our tribe when children turn a certain age they are given more responsibility and utilities before they reach adulthood. Such as this. New Mamífero Ka’anal’s are brought here. The child and the Mamífero Ka’anal bond for life. Much like the Ikran, they will never have another owner. But if their companion dies they can ever fly again.”

“What do you mean by never flying again?” He asked watching the newborns fly down to the Navi children. They were so small and innocent, weak. An easy target. (Y/n)’s ears lay back thinking of the sad times a Navi died before their sky bison. “Did…I say something wrong?” He touched her hand. 

“No, it is a very sad time. We bond with the Mamífero Ka’anal for life. It is more than a connection to an Ikran. They become part of our family, we are friends for life on a spiritual level. If we are in danger they can sense it and vice versa. Our bond with them is sacred and blessed by Eywa.  If a Mamífero Ka’anal dies we can never choose another. But if a Navi dies before the Mamífero Ka’anal’s…” (Y/n) paused, “The animal gives up their will to live. It’s cruel and unfair how they work differently. They will lose all motivation to fly, live, and be happy. They will not eat or drink. Normally to avoid the torture of starvation we perform a ritual in front of Eywa and kill the animal in a humane way before we return them to her. Then they can live in eternal happiness alone alongside their companion.” (Y/n) whipped the tears which fell from her large (e/c) orbs. He felt bad not for the animals or Navi but for seeing her cry. The colonel shook his head trying to stop feeling sympathy for the enemy. Her beauty meant nothing in the end because his goal is to kill Jake’s whole family. 

“Hey, Princess, don't cry. In the end, they are happy, right? They don't suffer anymore. They are returned to their family.” He tried to comfort her which seemed to work. “So…do I get one?”

“Yes, but there are very few adults. Sadly in some cases when a Navi child does not make it to age, there are some who are left over. It is harder to bond at an older age. Mainly catching them but I can help you with that.” She clears her throat. “First be thinking of a unique call.”

“So these Bison respond to a certain call?”

“Yes, they do. Watch and listen.” (Y/n) cupped her hand over her mouth calling out to her bison (this sound). The colonel listened and looked to see the bison come for their master. Soon the large creature called back, flying towards the floating land. “Hurry!” She yelled running towards the edge of the floating rock before jumping off. 

“Fucking hell!” He yelled before following the Navi princess. How did she land smoothing on top of the Bison? "SHIT!" He yelled, landing with a thud on the animal's back. She laughed and walked up onto the large creature's head connecting her queue to him. He gripped onto the bison's fur. 

"Áramà! My beautiful girl! I want you to meet someone." (Y/n) smiled as the bison flew down to the ground below. 

"Was jumping off the cliff necessary?" 

"For dramatic purposes…Yes it was." She laughed jumping down. Quaritch follows examining the animal. He looked for weak spots. This creature would be a nightmare to fight. "Áramà this is Rick Quaritch." (Y/n) said. The Bison leaned over sniffing the Colonel. 

"Hello there. Áramà is it?" He was supposed to treat this animal like a native. It seemed intelligent. Rick noticed the silent communication Áramà had with (Y/n) maybe their bond is on a spiritual level. "So girl where is the other at?" He asked reaching up to pet the female Mamífero Ka’anal. She looked at Rick before glancing at (Y/n) making a few sounds that sent the Navi into laughter. "What's so funny?"

(Y/n) chuckled," She said she cannot wait to watch you fail." The colonel looks at the bison and huffs. 

---

Currently (Y/n) , Rick, Balam, and Áramà are above an unclaimed bison. "So Balam , she is your sibling?" 

"Yes I am younger though. Now focus. You have to drop down and make the connection quick." Balam instructed. "Or else it will not work. Just try and think gentle happy thoughts when connecting. Calm and command the Mamífero Ka’anal. When you are done I will help you fly him." Balam said. Quaritch nods looking at (Y/n).

“What do you say, give me a kiss for good luck, princess?” This caused (Y/n) to smirk and move closer lips near his. Quaritch felt his heart race ear going back.

“I said dont call me princess.” She then pushed him off. Quaritch yelped, falling off Áramà and turning around to land on top of his bison. It was quick how much the beast began to thrash around in an attempt to get Quaritch off his back.

“Ts'a a wóoli' yéetel beet le vínculo!”(Hurry and make the bond!) (Y/n) yelled.

“WHAT.THE.HELL.DOES.THAT.MEAN?” He called back. This was much harder than some Ikran. This beast had strength. Quaritch refused to let an animal make a fool of him. He needed to focus on the mission. With one mistake it would all crumble. With a loud war cry, he leaped forward and connected his queue to the Mamífero Ka’anal. The bull instantly settles down. “That’s it, boy.”

Balam dropped down chuckling,” Not bad for a human. I am surprised you didn’t die.” (Y/n) soon lowers her bison so they are riding side by side. 

“Now give him a name.” She smiled.

“How about Pup?” He asked, causing the siblings to chuckle.

“I like it. Now come on. Let’s teach you how to fly. They are much different from an Ikran.” (Y/n) smiled. 

---

It was now nightfall and Balam returned to the village on his bison leaving Quaritch and (Y/n) alone. The pair lands on the ground side by side before descending from their bison. “So how did you feel about lesson one?” She asked, nudging his shoulder. The colonel had trouble admitting he enjoyed today. Enjoyed being with the Navi princess. Also, her brother was not so bad, her complete opposite. 

“I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy myself. Today was a different one for sure. Pup here is rather pleasant. It is so odd how…I understand him even without being bonded I feel him. Hear him. Know what he knows.” Rick did not know Navi could truly be this emotional. Have connections not only with their forest but animals. 

“Well, then tomorrow we are going to dive deeper into more traditions and our way. Including our language which you desperately need to learn.” 

“So then I get my kiss?”

“Tch, in your dreams.” She blushed.

“I am counting on it, princess.”

Chapter 3

Featuring my first Star Wars OC, Ka’an. My perfect jedi boy. He has issues… is jedi, goes sith? and maybe ends up a secret third thing

Pg. 6: Himvat Lifebringer’s Robes

Be not afraid, ye wounded and ailing souls of Etheirys, for the rare White Mage has entered the scene in an irradiant robe never before seen.  These are the robes of the Himvat Lifebringer, and its blue-and-violet fabrics give it an eerie yet calming glow.  The eclectic patterns are taken from studies in Ala Mhigan design, and the aetherial signature in the cloth augments the user’s restorative abilities.

Blinding is the star that is wielded by the White Mage.  This artifact weapon is called “Dhanvantri” - named for a Thavnairian deity said to provide amrita - an elixir said to bestow immortality to those who imbibe it.  The snows are at your side as beautiful flurries erupt from your healing abilities, or when you assail your foes with your light and holy-based spells, dazzling and freezing those unfortunate enough to earn a healer’s ire.  And the White Mage’s trump card - the Liturgy of the Bell - becomes an ice-enlaced blossom, adding a defensive layer of frost to any wounds closed by its blessing.

Though Winter may be a season where life is stilled and stagnant, the Himvat Lifebringer’s Robes are a rousing exception to this rule.  Winter is coming to the realm of fashion, and it need not always be for woe.  Guide your allies through the fiercest of battles and blizzards as the shining star of succor.

I dont think this will actually happen, but i want it to be that Kirk wasn’t even supposed to be on the ship for the musical ep. The aliens just saw La’An was going through something and was like heres your emotional support human, let it all out girl

the man who loves you in every universe leaves you in every universe :)

So I rewatched the scene I didn’t like from lost in translation a few times and I need to give credit where it is due…

I have to give it to Paul Wesley. I didn’t pick up on it the first few times cuz I was too pissed Jim was talking about his past, but now I see he’s actually extremely uncomfortable during most of the scene. Like, first he’s clearly uncomfortable after she psycho analyzes him.

“And you’re the type who can’t look past someone in need.”

Kirk legit didn’t have a response to this he just stood their awkwardly.

Then, when she’s pressing him, asking simply “what?” he’s shocked. No one ever asks him because his confident facade is usually flawless or no one bothers to notice or care if he has something on his mind. They just think he’s the perfect guy at his job. I think because of this, Jim expected the conversation to just drop.

He also has to think about it, like either “what’s bothering me,” and, “do I share this?” And I bet he rationalized it was okay because it centered on why he helped Uhura despite barely knowing her, and that why is why he’s in Starfleet. It all connects back to the job which he cares about more than (almost) anything.

Next point for when La’an finishes his sentence, Jim has this confused, pained look on his face. He doesn’t understand why she gets him so well, or he doesn’t know if that’s how he felt at the time, like this is the first time he’s considered this out loud. But also he doesn’t want to continue talking about this, so he nods jumps into “and that’s why I chose this job.”

Also, the sentence she finishes is describing how Jim felt about a given situation. Which was also a good touch because it not only shows how much La’an understands him despite barely knowing this version of Jim, but it also keeps it in character for Jim because he would never talk about his personal feelings this openly. As I said before he just kinda nods and moves on.

I still think it’s ehhhhh that Jim shared any of this, I must stress that this is more than kirk ever admitted in the whole of tos. But at least it works on some levels.

DAMMIT JIM I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU AND YOU FUCKED IT UP

DON’T BREAK LA’AN’S HEART

the reason I’m not a fan of portmanteaus is: 

do you like want me to smash Kirk and La’an into Ka’an, pronounced like Khan?
