Kirk bod appreciation #4: The Curves. The Back. Poetry in motion.
Here we honour the Kirk ‘hourglass’. The broad shoulders tapering into that lower back - and then flaring out again at those hips. Those HIPS. Those hips DO NOT lie. He has a broad back and such proportioning that one doesn’t always notice his hips aren’t so typically narrow, but stand him next to Bones or Spock - or even the girls - and just look at how endowed they are. Hot news: men have hips! And boy, is that hot. AND as if they weren’t gorgeous enough just existing in this flawless form, he actually swings them. Can we just correct another bro-ism: Kirk does not ‘swagger’. Kirk swings his hips. Like a sassy bih. This is one of the many reasons why James Kirk is special and utterly precious.
Season 3 is the icing on the cake: he fills out a little, everything fits that bit tighter, and WOW. Look at that TURN, and the peek of the taut, firm Tum™. Hello friend, welcome. Kirk has what one might call the ‘bubble tum’, like the ‘bubble butt’. Thicc from the back AND front. Indeed, the shrink-wrapped glutes go without saying - it is a crime that we are never gifted, despite the shirts ripping constantly, a single moment of those *pants* ripping. That ass not able to be contained, bursting for freedom like his nips in Amok Time (which didn’t at all have sexual connotations…NOT AT ALL). Spock blushing bright green. Bones rolling his eyes.
Now don’t be thinking these are just dribble-posts, like the bros do over the girls; no. This lightly humoured appreciation is partly in response to those who criticise Kirk’s weight and build. Criticise WHAT I hear you cry??! I know. I don’t get it either. So here we are. Kirk, our intelligent, compassionate bookworm; our soft, smiling, curvaceous, chubby hunk who don’t need no six pack to be Jim Kirk. It’s part of his character; it’s part of his physical presence, how he moves, how he walks. How he proudly inhabits that bod - and what that says about him. He’s a man, he’s unbound; he’s his own version. He communicates, enviably, body confidence incarnate, while busting stereotypes and being utterly true. What an icon. We love him and celebrate his beauty inside and out.
I JUST POSTED MY FIRST SPIRK FANFICTION IT'S TERRIBLE BUT OMG I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO GET MY HANDS TO TYPE RIGHT!
HERE IT IS!!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO READ!!!!
It it bad that I want to know my native American culture but I'm scared I be called racist because I look white and on my dad side I have a black nanny but my dad came out with no black Features White as a ghost but I do you have African American features in black textured hair But I don't know how to take care of it and I feel soon bad because I dot know my on culture
Im a big fan of a lot of ways Aos Spock/Uhura's relationship is portrayed in spirk fanfiction, however my absolute favorite i have just now encountered is:
Actually Uhura was raised on a federation colony where the culture around human kisses is more akin to a hug than a romantic/sexual gesture. It was a logical compromise for Uhura to show compassion to her friend in a way that was comfortable for Spock and her. Plus added bonus that it gave off the impression to earth-raised humans that she had a very possessive, strong vulcan boyfriend that prevented eager cadets from hitting on her (like Jim lol)
I mean the "Uhura is the embodiment of what Spock thought he needed in a bondmate, someone who is perfectly vulcan in a human way, but Jim lets him see that he needs someone who is perfectly human in a way that is the opposite of everything hes trained himself for" is beautiful and poetic but this version is objectively funnier.
Like, Jim, actually you are dumb for assuming Spock is in a relationship with Uhura based on one kiss even though that is exactly what they were expecting people to interpret their relationship as.
This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)
Starfleet Academy, home to carriers and mutants alike. Three years before Nero's attack on Vulcan, Jim Kirk and Leonard McCoy begin to forge what will one day be a legendary friendship. A series of snapshots of how it all began.
Throwaway one-shot. Jim Kirk survived Tarsus with more than just mental scars and how that could change the events in the second reboot film.
The three people who figured out that Jim was on Tarsus IV.
A fic based around the following prompt excerpt on Tumblr: “So, captain,” she began, eyeing him mischievously. “Where would you be if you hadn’t joined up?” Jim shrugged nonchalantly, pursing his lips for a moment in thought. “Dead probably,” he finally replied, lightly but absolutely serious– oblivious to the shocked expressions of his crew around him. “Or halfway to it in a bar in Iowa somewhere.” Or, Nyota's journey from first meeting Kirk, to loving Jim, through three, increasingly angsty, incidents spanning Academy Era to post 2009 film.
James T. Kirk always goes to Tarsus IV - because George Kirk can die, Vulcan can be destroyed, and Jim can be resurrected, but Tarsus IV is immutable. OR - An exploration of the fanon fact that Jim always experiences the massacre on Tarsus IV, no matter the universe.
Bones came to Starfleet with a hell of a lot of baggage. Jim came empty handed.
Jim would much rather deal with an army of assassins wielding pine nuts over having to weather the storm caused by this single video.
Jim is not exactly over Tarsus but he's over it enough to be casual about it, so times when Jim nonchalantly horrified someone by being casual about Tarsus
He's sitting stiffly, back straight and face utterly blank. There is no laughter twinkling in his eyes. She feels wary at the sight of him, this cadet who only superficially resembles the one she thought she knew. Starfleet Academy professor Anita Cornerstone calls Cadet Jim Kirk to her office to discuss his response on an essay assignment. The conversation they have is not the one she was expecting.
The kid takes him to the ground, hard and fast, and the knife punches right through his throat. The man gurgles and blood sprays, and the kid’s head snaps up, blond hair flying everywhere, as he gives the blade a final, savage, twist and pulls it free. He’d know those eyes anywhere. It’s Jim Kirk.
Based on the TOS episode Conscience of the King. Post Tarsus IV. Riley is assigned aboard the Enterprise. He recognizes Kirk.
James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.
The thing people always forget is that it was a Vulcan ship that reached Tarsus IV first.
Jimmy Kirk isn’t an old soul stuck in a young body, his teachers whisper, he’s sharp, jagged edges and a too-bright mind wrapped in skin and bones all glued together with his stepdaddy’s fists.
Fanfic idea people thinking that ultraman is a friendly non human kaiju as he said come to daddy to emi
💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛
I present to you an AOS fake marriage fic of the best kind! 😁
The brass are trying to force Spock into a command of his own, something in which Spock has no interest as he would rather focus on his science duties and stay on the Enterprise. Well versed in regulations, our cunning Vulcan explains that if he and Jim were legally married then Starfleet couldn’t split them up and he’d be free to remain in his current post. What could possibly go wrong!?! 😂😂😂
Currently writing a fic post AOS Into Darkness where Jim wakes up at the end but instead of in the hospital is back at his first day at the academy with 3 years counting down to the events of the first movie.
Would anyone be interested in beta reading? The idea is that through his efforts he slowly becomes more like TOS Jim. Reach out, pls lmk, it’s in rough drafting right now and could use some eyes on it
(ノಥ••ಥノ)
