The tik tokification of 'bad words' like sex/seggs suicide/unalive pedohile/PDFile grape/rape only originally censored because of moderation rules but now in colloquial (online) speech is going to send me to an early grave
Idk there used to be the sex pistols saying fuck on tv and now randos won't type out rape in a youtube comment. Not that time is linear but it's a weird purity(?) moment looking back.. If you're 17 you should be saying bad words that's supposed to be ur whole thing come on
I did this after a lot of thoughts about THAT author's note
βThatβs what you do when you go swimming with people, right?β he joked to cover the moment, βItβs either that orββ Jim glanced at the other side of the lake, then back to Spock. βRace?β
Β βExcuse meββ
Β βLast one to the other side has to cook dinner tonight!β Jim challenged, practically tossing himself onto his stomach and beginning to paddle. It took a moment before he heard Spock do the same.
Β Jim lost, in spite of his head start, but he lost laughing. The nightmare had left him fully now, and as he watched water run in rivulets down the side of Spockβs face and met those warm, dark eyes under dripping lashes, he felt calmer than he had before. Safer.β

HOOO BOI.
SO.
I spent the last day and a half reading everything the amazing @onedamnminuteadmiralβ had written for their Spirk story, Sha Ka Ree, which by the way? EVERYONE needs to read.Yes, yes, I have things I need to finish, but this scene just wouldnβt get out of my head? I just had to draw it.
I fell in love with it so hard and so fast and itβs the best thing? That said, once I get my other stuff done out of the way, I definitely want to do more art for this fic, which I hope Liss doesnβt mind! The idea of them being stranded on a planet and Spockβs hair growing out is something I donβt see too often and not in the way that she writes it in her story, so itβs one of the things that justβ¦ kill me??? Β
If youβd like to read it, please follow this link here! And join me in my weeping of such a beautiful, beautiful fic.
