Need to see more fics where Spock finds out about Kirk’s terrible childhood and is just dumbfounded.
In Vulcan society the idea of inflicting physical abuse upon one’s child is unheard of. Utterly illogical. So after Spock learns about Kirk's shitty stepfather, he has a crisis trying to comprehend the idea that a parent would hurt a child and also that someone would hurt his husband. From then on anytime Jim makes a joke about his abuse he notices that Spock tenses and gets angry and he's just like "???" and then later in the quiet of their quarters Spock just softly tells him that he'd murder Kirk's stepfather if he ever came across him. Kirk is half freaked-out, half touched at the sentiment.
I think this also goes for any other Vulcans hearing the idea of child abuse, if they were to overhear a conversation between humans being like “Yeah I remember when I broke the screen of my Dad’s new tv and he hit me so hard I think I blacked out haha” “that’s nothing compared to the time I told my mother to her face that I hated her cooking, she brought out the chancla on my ass lol” the Vulcans would just be downright horrified and spread this news back to other Vulcans about how savage some human parents can truly be and soon enough any human who mentions any type of violence in their childhood is receiving the highest level of comfort Vulcans can offer to a stranger: A hand to the shoulder and intense eye contact 😐🖖
POV: Your ex-wife shows up and crashes your date with your new boyfriend
A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
idk if anyone has done it yet but i had this really weird thought a few days ago about adam milligan’s story as a character. he’s nobody to the main plot, has two in some way evil half-brothers who have main character syndrome, his mother died when he was young, and he ends up with a prince at the end of the story. you know who else was nobody to the main plot, had two evil half-sisters, etc? cinderella. my dude adam milligan is a disney princess. argue with the wall
Idea for any Sabriel fic writers out there, Gabriel can make clones of himself. We know this people, so why can’t I find any fics fluff or smut or otherwise about Sam dealing with Gabriel’s clones. They can ‘entertain’ or annoy him idc I just thought of this and now I want it. idk if the fic exists already or not but if it doesn’t can someone please write it???
YES YES YES YES-
plot twist, Rowena just tells Sam that those 'spicier rituals' are just simple love rituals, asking true love and shit, so Sam just thinks that He's praying to Gabe to tell him how much he loves him, but really Gabe receives message after message of prayers asking him to raw dog Sam until morning until he's screaming Gabe/Loki's name and holding his seed and-
Gabe immediately abandons whatever work he's doing and teleports to Sam in the bunker. Gabe's lookin a little frazzled cause he thinks he's about to get some but just see's Sam reading calmly and Sam turns to see him and is like "Oh! hey Gabriel, did you like my message?" "DID I LIKE UR MESS-"
they end up doing it anyway and Sam doesn't know why Gabe seems so confused so he's like "Did I do it wrong or something? Rowena taught it to me and i guess the prayers old so it may have gotten lost in translation but-" and Gabe can't decide if he wants to burn Rowena or mash their mouth together consensually.
Desperately craving more Sabriel content guys, i need to inject them into my blood stream seriously.
Weird thought but has anyone ever thought that Herbert West might relate a lot to Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd?
I mean I'm just re-listening to the musical soundtrack and specifically the 'Final Scene' song and just the whole beginning of her part of the song is her trying to gaslight Sweeney and manipulate him like Herbert does to Dan and then it just devolves into jealousy over the dead wife/girlfriend when Sweeney continues morning over the woman he first loved (Basically exactly what happened with Dan) And I mean Mrs Lovett's lines are literally:
Yes, I lied 'cos I loved you!
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you like me?
and if that's not Herbert's energy by Bride of Re-animator then idk what is.
Based on these wonderful calculations done here I’ve started translating every transaction of latinum mentioned in the show and so I’m re-watching S6: E12 “Who Mourns For Morn?” And they mention that Morn’s net worth is 1000 bricks and so I calculated and that translates to-
An idea that spawned from @red-cicada’s post about old Herbert and Dan getting the recognition they deserve after finally perfecting their re-agent (Here)
What if when they get interviewed about their work all the interviewers very quickly realise that they both have to be put together during all interviews, press conferences, and public questionings because nobody - and I mean nobody - wants to be in the same room as Mr. West cause he is without a doubt the meanest old man and he will chew everyone inside of the room out with insults within the very first minute of sitting down and the only way to keep him semi-under control is to have his husband with him at all times, and Mr. Cain can’t really be left alone either because he always acts like he’s got something to hide, especially when asked about how their formula came to be.
"Huh weird" - All the interviewers say ignoring the beads of sweat coming off of Dan and avoiding Herbert's gaze entirely
Forever feeling insane at the fact that in the Re-animator comic Dan helps heal Herbert's wounds while he's shirtless and with Herbert lying down on the slab after fighting with rufus all the while they have silly little banter.
Dan is just overall more shirtless in the entire story; what I wouldn't give for this scene to be real, the movie deprived us and Herbert of seeing Dan's tits more often

I have to imagine that Kirk and Spock’s wedding was the biggest thing to happen in the quadrant that entire year! Everyone and their mother heard about the wedding announcement between the great captain James T Kirk and his first officer S’chn T’gai Spock. It must have been live-streamed or whatever the Star Trek equivalent of that is, humanity cheered and watched on excitedly, all Vulcan children probably got the day off school, this was framed in both their histories as a collective “second first-contact moment”. A bajillion Starfleet officers, captains, and admirals must have been in attendance to watch the ceremony and stay for the afterparty. Bones and Uhura stood as Kirk and Spock’s best man respectively, Pike officiated and cried many happy dad tears. In fact, countless tears were shed by the original crew of the enterprise and almost everyone in attendance (Bones denied the allegations but Scotty’s got photo evidence). Chekov got stupidly drunk at the after party along with a tipsy Sulu, who also managed to snap a quick photo of Spock and Kirk looking incredibly flushed and happy sitting together
