The sitemaker (Josh Mayfield at https://bsky.app/profile/bean525.bsky.social) has asked for people to come in and kick its tires so he can work out any bugs they turn up. So do give him a hand, if you feel inclined. :)
(also, deeply amused by this one...)
did i do it right

After Khan, Jim can't sleep. Between dealing with nightmares, coming back from the dead, and fully realizing his feelings for a certain Vulcan, drugs and sedatives aren't enough to help him heal. However, when Spock Prime comes aboard the Enterprise, he offers Jim assistance that will either help him discover how to move forward, or send him spiraling further out of control.
Discoveries and unexpected twists await the Captain and his Vulcan (and maybe even the Ambassador himself).
Ambitious as hell (at least for me) AOS/TOS spirk fic because my brain wouldnāt shut up about it.
geordi la forge you have captured me with your whimsical charisma and beautiful face
iāve just started the next generation for the first time and i have a question: does william riker send those wet puppy dog bisexual eyes to everyone he meets or just his crew mates
a feel good fic!
Jim and Spock shop at a market and are disgustingly in love with each other. That's it.
just started watching star trek. why did nobody tell me it was about a DL bisexual traveling through space with his autistic alien boyfriend trying to see how obvious they can be about their relationship before their employees catch on
i think itās best to go in blind because then itās like a little surprise

Why Jim Kirk Feels So Familiar to Women and Queer Men
Captain Kirk, while generally portrayed as the traditional masculine hero of the episodic story, is caught in a dichotomy. His character portrait features several feminine traits that cannot be separated from the shell of masculinity.Ā
Lighting (he is often shown in similar lighting to the female characters, the soft focus that was used to smooth the skin of actresses more so than their male counterparts)Ā
Costuming (while his ripped and disposable shirts are a point of hilarity, they also resemble the damsel trope/female heroine trope, while also mirroring in show female characters- i.e., during āShore Leaveā, Yeoman Barrows and Captain Kirk both have their clothing ripped, right down to the same area that is torn)Ā
Sexuality (Kirkās sexuality itself is up for debate amongst the fans, but the way he utilizes his appearance is akin to female seduction towards male characters in literature; he is often touched without his consent, stared at, remarked on for his looks; his reluctance in some episodes or āhoneypotā situations also resemble female seduction- i.e., āThe Conscience of the Kingā, he romances Kodosā daughter in order to get more accurate information on him)Ā
I cannot talk about the nuances of Captain Kirk without at least mentioning our dear Mr. Spock. His character encapsulates multitudes, ranging from nontraditional masculinity to racism. However, in the context of this topic, especially when it concerns Kirk, Spock is the more traditionally masculine counterpart in the relationship. Spock is focused on logic, his demeanor more closed off and guarded, while Kirk is shown to be more emotional and reckless. The First Office is often the one protecting Jim or advising him against dangerous situations. Despite being the opposite of the leading male figure, Spock ends up taking on more of the roles of traditional masculinity in ways that you might not notice right away. Kirkās masculinity is more of a front, simply the appearance of male machoism, despite his physical body and patterns of speech (at least compared to Spock) suggesting otherwise.Ā
But despite all of these parallels, the show never allows you to forget that Jim is indeed a man. Again, you cannot separate his inherent standing as a man in the show (and out, because William Shatner is in fact a man). The heteronormative storylines that litter nearly every episode make this fact hard to ignore, as well as the general comparison to other female characters. We see the period-typical sexism of the 1960s during which TOS was created bleeds from life to screen, as Kirk doesnāt see the same ramifications of patriarchy as the women do, or at least, not in the same way. While this is in part due to Starfleetās message of all genders being equal, we donāt really see that more accurately portrayed more until the movies and subsequent spin off series.Ā So, in some cases, an argument could be made that Jim is so used to being used like the female characters on the show that it does not fully register to him that they are experiencing sexism at all; after all, Kirk is going through much of the same thing.
Women are more often than not to be shown in pursuits of the humanities (i.e., Martha McGiver and Khan and 20th century studies from the episode āSpace Seedā, Carolyn and the Greek gods and anthropology studies from the episode āWho Mourns for Adonis?ā). Kirkās relationship with things such as poetry and other literature is personal, revealing. His frequent soliloquies and monologues show that he is learned in many areas, from engineering to empathy. While we do see him being the competent captain and possessing the STEM knowledge expected from a science fiction captain, he is more prone to prose and Shakespeare than typical grounded explanations. His loyalty to the ship and his crew are based in the humanities of his studies and himself.Ā
There is a facet to this male gaze Kirk argument that I would like to add: when talking about James Kirk being portrayed in the male gaze, it is done in a very queer manner. Here is the disclaimer before I go on: I do not believe that Gene Rodenberry, William Shatner, or Leonard Nimoy (yes Iām adding him in because K/S is a part of my argument) intentionally wrote Kirk as a stand-in for gay yearning and queer male representation, but in terms of making an argument for it, they certainly created a solid foundation.Ā
All of the points I have listed craft this argument: from the lighting of the shots to his empathy to his constant partial nudity. The circumstances of our culture and especially when discussing a show made in a time when queer people were not allowed to be discussed openly lead many people to discovering their sexuality/gender identity or seeing themselves represented as otherwise heterosexual cisgender characters. Jim Kirk is a multifaceted character who stands for justice and loyalty. He also has prominent muscles, tan, smooth skin, a deep voice, and a handsome face. The combination of all these factors is appealing to not only straight women, but also queer men. In addition, his relationship with Spock is reminiscent of many queer friendships/relationships: standing close together, never apart, the two of them understand each other better than anyone else (even their own families), they change tone when together, they sacrifice integral parts of themselves (career, emotions) for each other. Even though there is no on-screen intimacy, both men are clearly drawn to one another. Since one cannot be queer without the other being queer as well, Jim Kirk is definitely colored in shades of gay (can you tell I am still thinking about that Good Omens finaleā¦)
My conclusion is rooted in my own opinion so please keep that in mind!: This interpretation is also comforting; to see such a strong masculine lead portrayed in a manner of femininity and queerness while being taken seriously is lacking today, especially among the rise of conservatism and fascism. Although we have gotten better in some aspects of menās characterization in media, and by no means is Jim Kirk a perfect example, it is pleasing to know that such characters like this exist, even if the intent of the characters is not the same as much of the interpretation.Ā
P.S.: Although I do know this analysis is a bit of a mess, I also know I have a better interpretation of Star Trek than any billionaire who claims inspiration from the series. I WILL keep interpreting my space family as queer; I am more right than all of them.
McCoy placed the makeup brush on the wide sink counter next to other various products and turned towards Scotty. He cocked his hip and smirked, his eyes traveling up and down Scottyās half-naked form. Oh, dear Lord, he was half bleeding naked in front of the doctor in a non-surgical setting! And McCoy was⦠checking him out? Surely not!
the scotty chapter has arrived!

Starfleet has rules and prejudices against homosexuality and queer identities. The Enterprise, while one of the most accepting ships, definitely has its share of bigots.
Chekov and Sulu are terrified of being found out by their crew mates of their new relationship, and go to the Captain's orders to reveal themselves. The meeting doesn't go quite the way they thought it would.
