I came back for you… I came to remind you of what you once knew… That this world is not real.

Come take a leap of faith with me

@inceptionart Artist’s Favourites. Week 1: Inception

Fic: Seulement Dans Nos Rêves by WritLarge. Rating: Teen and Up. Pairing: Mal/Saito

an asshole

like not just in the sense of being a womanizer (which is also not supported by canon at all) but in the sense of breaking rules for no reason, fighting because it’s fun, and winning on luck rather than by intelligence

which

no

we know that kirk is better than spock at 3D chess (because he plays on intuition and a knowledge of his opponent, rather than on pure logic). so the idea of him being a mindless thug just doesn’t fly. and we see him risking his life over and over again to help various alien cultures. kirk’s main trait isn’t assholery, it’s optimism.

let me explain that a little bit: kirk is supposed to be the middle ground between spock (mostly logic with little emotion) and mccoy (mostly emotion with little logic). spock’s flaw is that he sometimes fails to consider human emotions and reactions when making a decision; mccoy’s flaw is that sometimes sentiment can cloud his judgement about what the correct course of action is. kirk is supposed to have spock’s intellect with mccoy’s human feeling and understanding.

the added bonus, though, is the optimism. in general it’s a love of humanity and a belief in the goodness of others; more specifically, we see kirk gamble a lot. the corbomite maneuver (which he pulls twice) is explicitly compared to bluffing in poker. kirk often chooses risky options if it means helping people (rescuing spock from the space amoeba in “the immunity syndrome,” for example). kirk doesn’t beat the kobayashi maru because he likes to win or because he thinks he must win because he’s hot shit: kirk beats the kobayashi maru because he doesn’t believe there is such a thing as a no-win scenario. 

Kirk refuses to accept that these things are inevitable not because he is smarter than everyone else and knows better, not because he has to prove that he is a fucking badass, but because he heartily believes that “there are always possibilities”, as Spock would say, and when lives are at stake and these depend on rational action - on his actions - he will always seek and demand from others that hidden alternative that allows them to solve the problem at hands with the least possible loss of life, whether friend or enemy. 

In the middle of a catastrophe, a butcher rose to power who decided the only “logical” action to take was to kill half the colony to keep the other half from starving to death.

And what happened?

The Starfleet supply ships arrived early. 

Early enough that they could have saved everyone. If Kodos hadn’t decided it was hopeless, and incinerated half a colony.

So you get this kid who’s survived an eugenics-influenced massacre that, had the people in power refused to give up hope, never would have happened. 

Is it really a surprise that that kid would refuse to believe any situation is hopeless? 

What did they think he would do when faced with a test that’s literally designed to be unwinnable? Were they really surprised he’d call the test itself a “cheat,” and find a way to beat it out of protest?

nature’s holographic editions!

Peter: we didn’t want it to crush any buildings so we brought it out here!

Here’s a peek at Theo, Blaise, Draco, and someone else:

Alternative preppy 90s Draco:

Second alternative preppy 90s Draco:

BOLD CHOICE, grunge Draco:

BONUS, 90s Harry is grunge don’t even argue, also he’s listening to Smashing Pumpkins:

friendly reminder that under equally flamboyant robes, the massive flare dainty waist was THE peak mens fashion

Remus would try for a mustache around James’ wedding. The results would be hilarious.

Peter’s soul colors would be orange, mustard, and brown. He would thrive in sweaters, mutton chops, and feathered hair.

who could out sweater Peter? The answer is of course REMUS LUPIN who would live it up in chartreuse and oatmeal and burnt umber with not only a cardigan but a secret turtleneck.

Note the not successful porn stache. Don’t be afraid! James Potter is here in bright red, dark brown, and navy blue! 10/10 the wide legged lapel boy. He’s the Tommy Hilfiger of plunging necklines and high waisted (probably checked) pants.

And Sirius Black, the boy in punk. Wearing basic white, blacks, blue jeans, he’s the most “normal” but likely over studded, over plaid, and stick straight gelled hair. Forget these cresting bangs. It’s fohawk or death.

even Lily Evans is not exempt. She’s probably okay in bright orange, baby blues, and bright patterns of pink/purple. She’ll wear jumpers and tall socks and trailing headbands and too much eyeshadow.

I can now show my contribution to the LGAL Botanica. I ended up choosing the incredibly destructive and bizarre Honey Fungus! Honey Fungus is pretty prevalent in the UK and is also the largest organism on earth. There are very few plants which are resistant to it and the only way to get rid of it is to dig up, destroy and burn everything. I would consider it the very true meaning of Death.
