Nothing like finally having a m/m OTP and then being BUT IS IT REALLY

[anghraine]

I've already talked a lot about it on Tumblr, but it's still kind of incredible to me that TOS Kirk (who tbh I cannot believe is the same person as TWOK!Kirk) is like "no I am not a strong father figure, you be the strong masculine figure or, I don't know, find one ... oh, this robot probe thinks I'm its male creator? haha I'm a mom now" and responds to obnoxious men questioning him about his clothes with "this little thing? just something I slipped on" and is like, "I may or may not wear eyeshadow but I definitely never leave my room without three layers of mascara."

Meanwhile, Spock literally says within a single episode (THEE episode, in fact) that he's a man and also that he is not a man.

(I love thinking about my inevitable f/f AU, but they're genderfluid4genderfluid in my heart)

I do enjoy/respect the hell out of how you took the iconic foundational m/m ship and were like "what if...f/f???"

afd;kjjka;df I am delighted and flattered by how many of my friends went "wait YOU fell hard for THEE m/m ship of ultimate destiny ... oh you've got a f/f version, it makes sense now" hahaha. But also I do genuinely think the original version was already doing a certain (very unexpected!!) amount of genderfuckery, so I live in my happy genderfluid4genderfluid version when I'm not going full-throttle for the butchSpock/femmeKirk f/f AU of joy :D
