itâs so embarrassing to watch tos for the first time and be like, whoa !! đspock and kirkâis anyone else kinda getting đsome vibes đł as if they arenât the founding fathers. as if they didnât build the yaoi dimension with their bare hands. as if the current cathedrals we call home arenât predicated upon their humble shadow puppets on the walls of platoâs fucking cave, and as if our ancestors were fools to fall for those puppets instead of geniuses, innovators, and prophets ????
this is how i felt when i was like woah this show is so fanfic-eque sometimes. yeah man they invented modern fandom. this is to be expected.
Ngl wat hing tos was an experience realising that some popular fanfic tropes are just straight up lifted from the episode plots. Fuck or die? Sex pollen? That's literally there on the screen just in 60s TV version of it and yet we're still writing it
