I'm Sorry

[my_daroga]

William Shatner has taken over my brain. I'm not sure I'm capable of talking about anything else. For the first time, tkp and I are sharing a fandom obsession at the same exact time, which is extremely enably and leads to mental instability. I highly recommend it.

I just made space_seed for all sorts of Star Trek time/universe bending goodness. That covers

I am completely joining that shit. Yaaaay shamelessness! I hope the Kirk/Kirk continues, because it makes me happy. :D

Hmm, they actually look pretty similar. Which is hilarious. And have that ~so intense~ thing going on. ...I hope I can take Marlon Brando seriously after this, damn you.

Also WHY DON'T I HAVE A STAR TREK ICON WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

[my_daroga]

Um. You can, like, inspire me. Kirk/Kirk-wise. If you want.

Okay it's just that sometimes when Kirk has THIS FACE on I think about Brando. I do.

[iblamebroadway]

I'm drawing some right now, and I blame you entirely. I haven't yet decided between nu!Kirk/Kirkprime or Shat on Shat action.

~Decisions...

[my_daroga]

HAHAHA I WIN!!

Maybe I should write more... hmm...

:D I am so involuntarily becoming all Trekkie myself... I ave never seen TOS but it is winging its way to me, Netflix style.... I could not resist for many reasons, perhaps the primary one being that several people have remarked on how much like movie!Kirk I am.... *facepalm* That's right, I am officially bad at life. :D

[my_daroga]

Wow. I mean, I wouldn't even know what to say to that. But that may be because I'm sort of the opposite of any Kirk. What exactly are people saying?

I think movie!Kirk has the potential to be TOS!Kirk one day. But he so is not.

[confusedkayt]

It is definitely one of those comparisons that rides the line between complement and insult... :D

The specifics have varied a little from person to person, but they all seem to boil down to "Kirk is a person who gets by on charm, phenomenal luck, and vague-yet-endearing insubordination." Also, the no-win situation thing pinged some people, since everybody knows how I got in to law school - which is to say, tracking down the admissions dean after classes had already started and making my case, starting with perfectly good reasons why I'd be a great lawyer and then treading into territory like "Trust me, you have no one like me around. I have great vintage clothing, so I'd really brighten the place up, and a crowd of beautiful gay men follow me wherever I go..."

So, yeah, eerily, I can see it...

[my_daroga]

Well it works, doesn't it? And Kirk is, after all, pretty awesome. I think the thing about that is you don't want to be an unsuccessful Kirk--but if you can pull it off, hey, more power to you!

[potatofiend]

Okay: I have now madly promoted this community in kirkspock, st_reboot and newtrekslash. :D I will need to find a good opportunity to subtly slip it in at ontd_startrek, but it should be on its way.

I need more icons with both sets of boys.

[my_daroga]

Dude. Thank you. That is awesome!

We definitely need icon posts and stuff in the comm.

[herself_nyc]

I see the Brando, yeah. If I squint.

[my_daroga]

I guess it sort of sounds like an insult. To Brando. But sometimes in ST Shatner gets this intense face and I'm reminded of Brando. Some sort of face shape + intensity thing.

[my_daroga]

Ugh, I know. I mean, I'm trying to think of something to write, but I keep getting bogged down in "I can't do this!" and stuff. It's stupid.
