Manip - White sheets (AOS OT3)
Title: White sheets, Space Threesome version
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock/Uhura
Characters: James Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Spock
Rating: G
Tagline: The Power Trio of the U.S.S. Enterprise in bed.
Series: White sheets
About the manip: Post-Into Darkness, both Spock and Nyota find themselves torn about their feelings toward Jim, feelings awakened by James's tragic brush with death. Feelings growing as days pass, and closeness with a weak James facing rehabilitation.
Each of them face their conflicting feelings on their own, until Nyota decides it's time to talk to Spock. It's a shock for her to discover that he too is feeling pulled in two opposite directions, the one who leads to Nyota (the woman he loves) and the one who leads to James (a man for whom he's harboring many different emotions). Neither wish to break their relationship, neither feel they'll be able to stop the growing love for James Kirk.
Eventually they find a solution to the conundrum: include James in their romantic life. If James agrees, that's all.
Notes: Yes, they are in a very balanced polyamorous relationship and they are very happy about it.
Notes 2: This manip had been planned back in 2015 (or even before). All necessary pics were collected back then.
Skip to 2023. One of the people I follow in Tumblr reblogs a post from ksspringfever. The curiosity killed the cat and I took a look at the prompts. I happen into one asking for a Spirkxothers, with a preference for either McSpirk or Spihura. Bam. I love the threesome so much that I jumped on the idea... completely missing that the person asked for a fic. ahahah.
But at least, not without hurdles, I sat down and made a manip - the first in months. Which makes the effort worthy.
A kind admin reached out to reassure me I could post it anyway, so here I am.
Notes 3: I have other pics that, in an alternate timeline in which I am productive, would be turned into Space Threesome. There might be a chance for another from the same tv show, same setting (a bed) but different shooting set - possibly different season.
But the one I irk to do the most, and I hope to make, will be an explicit bisexual threesome with pegging. Don't hold your breath though.
Notes 4: Name from a series featuring all the four flavours of Spirk (TOS, TOS Mirror, AOS and AOS Mirror) that was started in 2015. One is finished and ugly, one needs some retouches so at least two could see some light in the future.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Most of the time expensive part of manipping had been already take care of in 2015, I already had a couple of pic per actor ready to select from. Not to say the manip was easier. The original pic featured a big copyright logo that had to be removed by painstaking and precise use of cloning brush. Then it was the selection of the best faces and the irking action of actually fitting the faces. Zoe and Pine were easy, all things considered (the woman's hair had to be fixed, the man's face partially covered, shadows fixed). But then comes Zachary Fucking Quinto, the guy with the most brushy and biggest brows this side of Hollywood. The original actor held his head in a very unique position, and fit Zachary wasn't easy, especially on the neck. But then... Spock-ize Zachary *insert crying emoji here*.
The worst were the hair. I'm still not happy, but I tried the best I could.
I'm still torn on this manip. One on side I like it, on another I'm not convinced of it. But I know it's all fault of the original pic, which had bad light.

The pictures were collected in 2015. Back then, actors fansites were still a thing. So proper crediting it out of the question

Zachary Quinto from one of his two fansites. Both gone.
Zoe Saldana from one of her two fansites. Of the two, only Zoe-Saldana.net is alive, but likely was reopened as its huge gallery has been lost.
Spock's hair, ear and eyebrows were savaged from some Spock promo shoots from Star Trek (2009).
