HAVEN'T I GIVEN ENOUGH?
Star Trek: The Original Series 02x05 "Amok Time" x "Gilded Lily" by Cults
I am a firm believer that Jim Kirk is a very smart man…. however… the pure idiot energy he has in Amok time….

lol I frogot I made this
(this makes no sense bruh💀)
i’m genuinely wondering if the parallel here is intentional or not.
it’s such a good detail.
Spock why are you looking at him like that. Answer me, Spock.
still cannot believe Star Trek canonically made an episode where the plot was ‘Spock goes into heat and is going to die unless he has sex but then he rolls around on the ground with Kirk and pins him down and chokes him and after that he’s fine".
Also this episode establishes that touching and sharing thoughts is so intimate that it is used to seal an arranged marriage pact…in the same episode where in an earlier scene Kirk just casually grabs Spock’s hand and Spock seems cool with it.
Oh. And ALSO. After Spock has explained to Kirk that he is in heat and needs to have sex or die he’s all “Captain, there is a thing that happens to Vulcans at this time. Almost an insanity, which you would no doubt find distasteful.“ And Kirk’s response is to kind of raise an eyebrow and say “Will I?” in a way that suggests very much the opposite.
I just. This show was something else huh. No wonder it manifested modern fandom and fanfiction culture.
its the way spock closes his eyes when kirk says "you've been called the best first officer in the fleet" like he knows he's trying to tell him he needs him without saying that and the mask of professionalism is unbearable. and the way he follows it up with "that's an enormous asset to me" with way too much emphasis and way too much restraint just for the love of god. the secrecy of it all and the mutual understanding and the pleading pleading pleading and neither of them can say it out loud
a hazy gaze from madness, sweat and, perhaps, non-existent tears
