I’m delighted at how often they describe Jack Aubrey as round and fat. He’s an energetic captain bouncing around his ship and he still gets to be fat!!!

I hear it’s your birthday!! I hope you have a lovely day and get a special treat for yourself! Thanks for making this little corner of tumblr more fun 🥰
Yes it is! 🥳 Thank you for being a delight, I’m always chuffed to be tagged by you and to see you in my feed. 💗
What is your favorite thing you’ve written?
this question doesn't have a simple answer, but i'll do my best.
as far as fic is concerned, probably some of my thasmin stuff - like candy floss or not a honeymoon (available on ao3!).
when it comes to my own original writing, and i am biased, it's the novel i've been writing and rewriting for the last almost 2 years - the hand you're dealt, even if it still needs a lot of work. i do sometimes kick my feet up when editing the romance bits, they are probably my favourite within it.
but also, i have a lot of fondness for a short story i wrote for a workshop i went to in january. i got quite a lot of good feedback and even if some was critical, it was constructive and people's reactions were generally favourable
Mosh! Mckirk! Tell me more!
This idea was fully inspired by this tumblr post:
Yes, I am a straight man. Yes, getting the shit beat out of me in an all-male mosh pit is an erotic experience for me. We exist
this one is just a short paragraph of an idea, but the vibe is a "meet-weird" for AOS mckirk. me and @strangenewwords tossed around a few ideas where basically jim's in a moshpit and some guy (bones) approaches him and demands "Open your mouth" and Jim complies simply because "a hot stranger is telling me to do this, I must" but the guy was looking to see if he was dehydrated.
ANYWAY do not worry, Bones and Jim would have a bunch of fun piercings and unfortunately it's a little too smutty for me to share too many details here but hopefully this gets written at somepoint because just talking about it has me excited again
For the ask game
🥹 Favourite behind the scenes picture.
That's hard cause there's so many good one. But I re-discovered this one lately...
IT GIVES ME FEELINGS AAAAAHHHHH!

All of your WIPs sound amazing, but I feel like I HAVE to ask about this one! 👀👀
unrequited mcspirk hamlet rewrite DEAD DOVE
ohohohoooooo i'm so glad you asked, thank you!!
this idea came entirely from learning that mccoy's middle name is sometimes horatio, and these two facts: 1, i was a theatre kid and an english major so i have Feelings about hamlet, and 2, i read this fanfic (not trek. literally hamlet) in 2014 and never recovered.
in my head it's a AOS-AU gothic space opera. Maybe it counts as a royalty AU, technically.
George Kirk, senior, dies in a horrible accident (warp core?). Jim (absolute train wreck genius, emphasis on train wreck) comes home from the Academy to help deal with the fallout, and starts believing that Winona's new husband (Frank? George's brother? Make that ambiguous AOS canon about who owned the convertible ALL true) killed him because of George's ghost. Bones (in love, just trying to keep jim alive and nearby and that's enough) comes home with him and acts as the ignored voice of reason.
Jim is seeing George's ghost everywhere, Bones is trying to keep him upright and not on fire, Winona is trying to keep her son from destroying her new marriage.
Enter Spock as Ophelia. I personally really like retellings that recontextualize her and try to give her as much agency as possible, so I would do that here too. TBD on what that means. Sarek as Polonius, and then TBD for Laertes.
Jim, Spock, and Bones are the careening-out-of-control three-body-problem center of the story. The biggest change from canon would be making Ophelia and Horatio have their own relationship; maybe both working together to keep Jim from going too far off the deep end, or something else I haven't considered yet.
Chekov and Sulu are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
the DEAD DOVE in the outline title comes from the fact that I want to follow canon in that Spock and Jim both die and Bones is left to pick up the pieces of his life and this kingdom.
I think the reason I'm dragging my feet on putting real work into this is because I haven't decided or thought about what I would want this all to MEAN. I don't read or write MCD, generally, and if I did, I would want it to be to make a coherent point rather than just make me sad LOL.
Also because I would have to reread/rewatch Hamlet and I just haven't done that, ha ha.
Thanks for the ask!! Maybe next time there's a McSpirk BB I'll bring this back around. XOXOXOX <3
It is less than 2 weeks til my hysterectomy and apparently today is the day my brain decided to start freaking out about it. I hate surgery. I hate anesthesia. I hate recovering. I have had 4 surgeries for this disease so far and each one has been harder than the last and I am so fucking scared about this one.
Logically I’ll be fine. This should be good and once I’m recovered my quality of life should be significantly improved. But right now I’m in pain and I’m scared and I’m depressed and I really don’t want to do this.
Another year around the sun, and I can’t help but think what a gift it is to get older. I am so incredibly grateful for the life I have, and the people I have around me.
