Multiple hours until the next vote which means !!! Another conclave rewatch 🙏🙏

Sketches based on my latest chapter of Oh good God, let me give you my life (which you can find here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65218507 )

I hope no one takes any pope posting I may do as me supporting this guy or the catholic church. I think american pope is a rancid idea. but chicago pope is also the funniest thing I've ever heard

Kirk: It is not my fault that your father likes me better than he likes you!

Spock: Oh, don’t flatter yourself. My father likes everybody more than he likes me.

Exchanging a glance.

I'm writing that story where Spock has to struggle with a devastating and overwhelming crush on McCoy, while his childhood bullies are on the ship and it's so much fun. The characterisations I've come up with for the bullies kind of rule ngl and like not to brag but they make sense as bullies. Especially cos a feature of it is that McCoy doesn't clock the bullying so Spock is devastated. But like, they're interesting and friendly and more affable than Spock and all their bullying is very Vulcan so a human wouldn't notice it.

Like, one of them doesn't say the call and response for live long and prosper correctly which is super rude of him but what he says is also polite so the humans in the room don't clock it but Spock is just writhing in discomfort from the insult.

This is great and I think I should bully my characters more

And I got a great late reveal idea for one of them that's not a twist exactly but is a cool canon tie in that I'm really looking forward to. And it makes her mindless dislike of Spock make sense in the world, even tho it's obviously not reasonable. At least she's consistent lol

Spock's gonna have a terrible time in this story. McCoys already upset with him before the Vulcan bullies board.

I'm used to writing whump where it's physical injury, but emotional injury is a lot of fun. And I don't have to research healing times or allow for a character being a medical doctor! I can just keep piling the next thing on til he cracks!
