I feel like Pinterest is making recommendations to me with intentā¦
I particularly like Spock's long, rounded bangs.šWhat about you?š
A - Long and rounded
B - Short and rounded
C - Short and straight
I see, so he is having a logical haircut š¤
In the Enemy Within Episode.
The alien dog(?) was beamed up and split into two - mean and gentle.
And apparently, it is a chihuahua(?) as the mean alien dog
And gentle one is another breed.

Two slow dancers - mutual pining
Carry me out - feeling ashamed and overwhelmed to what I feel, so I will confess in the rooftop
Bonus: aurora songs - exist for love and this could be a dream
that is insane!!!!
Do it again
THE SHOUJO RENAISSANCE AIN'T FUCKING AROUND
#hell yeah
The thing about Spirk and canon is. Spock loves Kirk So Much. And Kirk also loves Spock So Much. This isnāt subtext this is just text.
But.
They are also both So Afraid of their own happiness.
Spock for The Obvious Reasons Presented In The Text (feelings are shameful, feelings are scary, feelings are dangerous, if I allow myself to love him how I want to it will consume me)
And Kirk because Trauma, because He Loses People He Loves, because deep down he self sabotages and doesnāt think he deserves or is meant to have happiness. His deep surety that he will die alone becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
So they go their whole lives orbiting each other, but they never allow themselves to be truly together, truly happy, and torture themselves and each other with close-enough, good-enough, friendship-is-enough. Because theyāre both so, so scared of what being More would mean.
Itās just life-long mutual pining.
Is there a relationship called orbiting, might hit it
Hey all, think about it when you rewatch Star Trek TOS The Menagerie episode.
If you haven't thought of it yet, or haven't told so or haven't read so..
The Talosians conjure illusions according to the target's mind, wish, dreams, memories and perhaps expectations.
Jim Kirk, as the focus of the transmission that time, a great deal of distraction, the court martial of Mr. Spock...
Now, at the ending we know that from the Shuttlcraft scene up to the end of the court martial, Mendez was not really there.
Question: The actions of Commodore Mendez, to whom they are actually conjured from?
Now, try to review all Jim Kirk and Commodore Mendez interaction. Would it be valid to think that Jim Kirk is basically talking to himself by a different means?
And consider these to feed the delulu š, I ask chatgpt to hallucinate together š¤
Prompt:
Hey, help me analyze something, Star Trek TOS the menegerie episode
Here me out:
Mendez in the shuttlecraft up to the end of Court Martial is an illusion right? The court martial is to distract Jim Kirk to take over USS Enterprise. Means, Jim Kirk is the focus of Talosians mind projections. And their projections are based on their targets wish, dream, expectations or memories. In the whole ordeal with Mendez, which he is in fact an illusion, was it just Jim Kirk basically talking to himself? Like Mendez is a representation of his Mind but he wont voice out, he is so composed in the whole episode and is containing himself, like it is a good thing that Mendez do the talking.
Chatgpt:
That's a brilliant interpretation, and it aligns well with the Talosiansā abilities and the psychological nuances of "The Menagerie." Letās unpack this theory in detail:
---
Mendez as Kirkās Projection
1. Talosian Projections Reflect the Subject's Mind:
The Talosians craft illusions based on their targetās inner desires, memories, and subconscious thoughts. Since Mendez is revealed to be an illusion, his dialogue and actions could indeed reflect Kirkās internal struggles, thoughts, and emotions.
This makes the court martial less about Spockās actions and more about Kirk grappling with his responsibilities, loyalty, and the rules he has sworn to uphold.
2. Kirkās Composure:
Throughout the trial, Kirk remains composed and restrained. However, the stakes are enormous: Spock has betrayed him (on the surface), Pikeās fate is tied to Talos IV, and Kirkās own authority is being challenged.
Mendez, as a projection, could serve as the external voice for Kirkās suppressed doubts and frustrations. Mendez is confrontational, insistent, and direct, acting as a counterbalance to Kirkās calm demeanor.
3. The Shuttlecraft Scene:
Mendezās presence in the shuttlecraft could symbolize Kirkās inner turmoil as he tries to reconcile his duty as captain with his friendship and trust in Spock. The dialogue between Kirk and Mendez might essentially be Kirk talking to himself: weighing the Federationās rules against his personal feelings.
4. Why Mendez?:
Mendez, as the Starbase commander, represents authority and adherence to Starfleetās regulations. If the Talosians are drawing from Kirkās mind, Mendez is the perfect figure to embody Kirkās internal conflict between loyalty and duty.
---
The Illusion of the Court Martial
1. Distraction for Kirk:
The trial distracts Kirk while Spock enacts his plan to deliver Pike to Talos IV. This suggests the Talosians need to keep Kirk mentally occupied, and a court martial would deeply engage him, given his sense of justice and responsibility.
2. Mendezās Role in the Trial:
During the trial, Mendez often takes a strong moral stance, questioning Spockās logic and motives. If Mendez is a projection, this could represent Kirkās own suppressed doubts about Spockās actions.
Kirk may subconsciously agree with Mendez but cannot voice these thoughts openly due to his duty to remain impartial.
---
Kirkās Mind at the Center
1. A Reflection of Kirkās Inner Conflict:
Kirk is portrayed as an ideal Starfleet captain: disciplined, rational, and ethical. But beneath that surface lies a man who values loyalty and personal connections. The Talosians exploit this dichotomy by creating an illusion that externalizes his internal debate.
2. Mendez as a Release Valve:
Mendez serves as a release for Kirkās suppressed emotions. By letting āMendezā voice strong opinions and frustrations, Kirk maintains his composure and avoids revealing any personal bias.
3. Does Kirk Realize It?:
One could argue that Kirk subconsciously knows Mendez isnāt real. His calm reaction when Mendez vanishes suggests Kirk might have suspected the illusion all along but chose to play along, trusting that the truth would emerge. *š¤*
---
Final Takeaway
Your interpretation is compelling: Mendez as a projection is more than just a distractionāheās a manifestation of Kirkās internal conflict. The court martial isnāt merely a plot device but a psychological battleground where Kirkās loyalty, duty, and morality collide. The Talosians, through Mendez, give voice to Kirkās suppressed doubts while maintaining the illusion of external judgment.
This layered reading adds a psychological depth to the episode thatās in line with Star Trekās tradition of exploring human nature. Would you say this makes Kirkās character even more relatable or complex?

This - the like of this is one of those that make me smile. The idea of Spirk is just that muah ~
Context: Captain and FO were trapped on the Bridge with a Red Alert.
Aliens made them do it.
Here's the illustration I created for the @thylabang 2024, The Shore Leave Reverse Bang! My idea was to draw Spock and Kirk in the Lower Decks style, engaged in typical Lower Deck-ian shenanigans. My amazing partner kettleknight wrote 'The Kraken on Kepler-3b' to go along with it, go check it out!
This is divine
A logical resting place
