I have to imagine that Kirk and Spock’s wedding was the biggest thing to happen in the quadrant that entire year! Everyone and their mother heard about the wedding announcement between the great captain James T Kirk and his first officer S’chn T’gai Spock. It must have been live-streamed or whatever the Star Trek equivalent of that is, humanity cheered and watched on excitedly, all Vulcan children probably got the day off school, this was framed in both their histories as a collective “second first-contact moment”. A bajillion Starfleet officers, captains, and admirals must have been in attendance to watch the ceremony and stay for the afterparty. Bones and Uhura stood as Kirk and Spock’s best man respectively, Pike officiated and cried many happy dad tears. In fact, countless tears were shed by the original crew of the enterprise and almost everyone in attendance (Bones denied the allegations but Scotty’s got photo evidence). Chekov got stupidly drunk at the after party along with a tipsy Sulu, who also managed to snap a quick photo of Spock and Kirk looking incredibly flushed and happy sitting together
Jake Abel looked at that in the script, pulled out a sharpie, scribbled over it and put “homosexually” instead.
"distastefully"
Weird thought but has anyone ever thought that Herbert West might relate a lot to Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd?
I mean I'm just re-listening to the musical soundtrack and specifically the 'Final Scene' song and just the whole beginning of her part of the song is her trying to gaslight Sweeney and manipulate him like Herbert does to Dan and then it just devolves into jealousy over the dead wife/girlfriend when Sweeney continues morning over the woman he first loved (Basically exactly what happened with Dan) And I mean Mrs Lovett's lines are literally:
Yes, I lied 'cos I loved you!
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you like me?
and if that's not Herbert's energy by Bride of Re-animator then idk what is.
The real struggle of a writing is having an idea for a particular scene between characters and knowing exactly how you want the scene to go but not knowing how to write the beginning or the end of the story.

Don't ask me how but- AND HEAR ME OUT-
What if when Michael and Adam are finally reunited, like when they both come back and see each other for the first time Adam just... stops for a second, and just looks at Michael, staring blank at his true form.
Michael is over-fucking-joyed to have Adam back and have God gone and everything, and there's this general idea that Adam would just be himself and make a stupid little joke or something.
So Michael waits before making a move towards Adam, waits for Adam to say something, anything to make the situation feel real.
And nothing happens.
Michael takes a few steps towards Adam and quietly whispers "Adam...." the word feeling strange when said softly after he'd been screaming it in the empty.
and then Adam just, breaks.
He latches onto Michael and wraps his arms around his shoulders as his knees give out and he falls into Michael's embrace, all the while sobbing and screaming his soul out.
Michael snaps into it immediately because he feels Adam. Feels his soul in pieces as his grace try's to repair everything and stop the hurt pouring from Adam.
You want to know what got me started on this midam train? Way back in the day, before Jake Abel came along and legitimized us all with the strength of his romantic chemistry with himself?
It was such a small detail, but to present it right, I need to set a little foundation. I need to talk about angel fashion.
That’s right! I’m fascinated by the clothing choices of the angels we see throughout the series, and I could get into it for hours, but I won’t. For the sake of brevity, I’m just going to sketch out my obsession briefly: every regime change in Heaven has its own dress code. Even in the in the later seasons, when it looks like they’re all just wearing bland basics, subtle changes still crop up as the leadership changes hands. How official this is in Heaven is uncertain. It could be playing off Lucifer’s assertion that, “Angels were made to follow,” like it’s something in their hardwiring that makes them want to emulate whoever’s in charge, but we don’t know.
Michael’s regime was suits. Dark suits in particular—in contrast to Lucifer’s white victory suit we see in season 5’s false apocalyptic future–with neck ties that frequently, though not always, feature a pattern reminiscent of multiple staring eyes. And we can tell where certain angels are in terms of Heavenly morale by how closely they follow the dress code. Joshua, heaven’s gardener, sees himself as too insignificant in the plans of upper management, and doesn’t bother to wear the uniform at all. Uriel is losing faith, and he appears without the tie and with his shirt unbuttoned. Zachariah loosens his tie when he thinks that Michael’s about to destroy him for his failure with the Winchesters, but straightens it when Michael gives him a second chance with Adam.
Raphael, in one of the most tragic examples, gives no fucks about clothes when they don their vessel and talk about the death of God and allude to their own severe depression in season 5, but they wear Michael’s uniform to the letter in season 6. Because in season 6, Raphael’s feelings are being pushed aside, because Michael is in trouble, and Raphael has a mission: rescue him. And as Raphael squares off against Castiel, they’re announcing their loyalty to Michael through this manner of dress, Michael’s #2 to the end.
And in a truly curious move, Castiel continues to wear Michael’s uniform under his trench coat throughout the series. I have theories on that. For another day.
But what’s even more curious is that Michael never once wears the uniform himself. He could have. He had time to change between Adam’s yes and Sam’s. The closest we ever see on screen is with AU Michael, and it’s not perfect. The colors are off. Browns and reds rather than OG Michael’s black accentuated with cool blues, greys, and whites.
And one thing that you could infer from this, is that I’m crazy. The angels just rock whatever clothing their vessels happen to be wearing at the time of their “yes.” That’s certainly what I think was the case with Castiel’s trench coat, before Cas began to associate it with his identity outside of Heaven. But then…
Not only does Michael not show up in his uniform. He shows up wearing Adam’s jacket.
Adam hadn’t been wearing that jacket when Michael possessed him. He took it off! We don’t even see it draped over Adam’s chair, we don’t see it in his hands when he’s pounding on the door calling for Dean’s help. Wherever that jacket is, it’s nowhere in immediate sight!
And mind you, angels don’t get affected by hot or cold—that’s why Cas never feels the need to take the trench coat off. Nor would this plain cotton jacket provide Michael with any significant protection in a cosmic fight against the devil. There was no immediate need for Michael to bother with it.
Michael was trying to do something nice for his vessel. Adam was bloodied and scared, and regretting what he agreed to, but Michael couldn’t let him go. So he cleaned Adam’s shirt, and he fished out the dumb jacket and put it on even though it wasn’t his style, so Adam would at least have all of his things together when they were done. He went out of his way, because, even though his hands were tied, he wanted to be kind.
And after years of germination, that thought turned me into a devoted shipper.
Thank you for reading this unnecessary rant. Tune in next week, when I’ll be discussing how Adam’s favorite food used to be meatloaf, but now it’s burgers.
Weird take but I have huge grudge towards the background actors in the diner scene in 15x08, not throughout the entire scene but just at the end when Michael smites Lilith, when it pans around to the rest of the diner none of them look afraid enough, they all just look mildly shocked (except that one girl on the table behind Micheal when he leans over the booth, that girl look traumatized and I appreciate it) and it just takes me out of his whole 'Archangel power thing that Jabel had going on.
So insane that the only two things that Michael would ever truly loose himself over are God and Adam. like, Adam challenged his faith in God, and if the writers weren't cowards Michael would've challenged God over Adam. am i making sense here? His story begins with his faith in his father and then finding someone who's lost faith in his. And it ends with Michael disregarding everything he thought to be the truth all in order to get Adam back
So, since its canon that Odo reads shitty romance novels do you think that one day like Julian recommends him pride & prejudice and he goes and reads it. Has a realization. And then doesn't interact with Quark for like a week. shhhh leave him alone let the goo man figure out the complex enemies to lover's relationship he's in with The Worst Option Possible™
haha hey i love the blood dripping from your face and the animal rage in your eyes whats your pronouns
