Imagine being obsessed with K/S in the sixties when the episodes were still coming out, buying every zine you could get your hands on, getting on mailing lists, watching Amok Time over and over and over for years. And you finally walk into the movie theater to see The Motion Picture. Your expectations for slash are virtually zero. You’ll be happy if there’s a moment of prolonged eye contact. But instead you get Spock’s big entrance on the bridge, and then This Simple Feeling.
Can you imagine what these ladies were going through. After ten years. Very humble desires. And they get t’hy’la out of it.
Okay, so maybe it slipped through the cracks. It was a one time thing.
No. It doesn’t even end there. Kirk tears the galaxy apart to get back to Spock.
A journey from 1966 until 1991 (when The Undiscovered Country was released). Can you even imagine… Obviously some of you were there but I really can’t wrap my head around this
