why would you try to hate them at all?

I've been shipping K/S since I was a kid and I think S/U is TOTALLY cute. (and maybe Into Darkness gave me OT3 feelings, maybe)

OT3, the solution to any shipping problems.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
(mutantjules again i'm on my phone)

Honestly I have OT3'd to solve a shipping problem before but this time it wasn't even like thaaaat, in the first movie I was thrown by Spock/Uhura at first and I didn't really FEEL it but was okay with it. It was cute, it was like they were building on those early TOS episodes when Uhura would flirt with Spock a little and he'd just eyebrow at her, and it's an ALTERNATE universe, and also we could see Uhura being an awesome girlfriend and see Spock leaning on her in a moment of emotional turmoil so I was like "aww! Okay =)"

Then Into Darkness happened. And it had way more problems than the first movie did, but it also had Kirk and Uhura having a bonding moment over both of them loving Spock but him driving them FUCKING NUTS sometimes, and then her dragging Kirk into a fight between her and Spock so he could back her up (his reaction only made it better: "hey, don't drag me into this! .....but she is right, you know.") This isn't just about them reacting to Spock either, by this movie Kirk has not only earned Uhura's respect but now they're friends to a level where they can be real with each other about shit they don't wanna talk about to other people! The whole movie was Kirk making friendly overtures towards Spock, trying to get him to open up, and Spock not knowing how to deal until the very end (spoilers!) (the death scene had problems and I recognize this....but it also, to me, made so many other problems suddenly worth it because the ways it was different from the Wrath of Khan scene, but also the ways it was the same, gave me a truckload of feelings. I also felt like for Spock, the guy who in the Original Series got essentially space-drunk on some space parasite with the rest of the crew and while everybody else was singing or fighting or running around being dorks he locked himself into a room and cried because he never just LET himself feel his feelings. Who then said to Kirk "when I feel feelings of friendship for you, I'm ashamed" - for that guy, it made PERFECT SENSE that he would spend the whole movie not quite sure how to deal with Kirk mading light elbows towards friendship and then all of a sudden now that he's about to die it would suddenlty hit him right in the face what he's about to lose), and then it had Spock reeling from this revelation and Kirk's subsequent death, and then literally look to Uhura for what to do about Cumberbatch (because the scene focused on Kirk and Spock, we haven't really seen anyone else reacting to Kirk's death) and Uhura is just like "Spock, FIND HIM AND KILL HIM." I HAVE AN OT3 IN THIS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT

(Lol this comment was supposed to be like 2, maybe 3 sentences)

wow thank you!
I mean, I watched the movie more than once but still couldn't quite express this (I'm kinda dumb about people and relationships, there's no suprise here)

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Um...well. There's the fact that, given where they started in timeline, Spock would have technically been married [At least, for some OST fans], so them hooking up right as Vulcan was having that whole thing going on had some...weirdly creepy feelings?

At least, that's what put me off. >>;;

I never heard this excuse before and people shipped Spock with Kirk, Chapel and McCoy way before the reboot put him with Uhura. No one ever considered it OOC for him then. When did the [reboot] movies say that he's married? Are you talking about T'pring from TOS? The girl he was betrothed to at the age of 7 and who chose another man over him

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA WHOA IT'S BEEN YEEEARS SINCE I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT T'PRING. amok time is only my favourite episode, so well done me. Anyway, let me assuage your creepy feelings with a few key points: 1. betrothed is not the same as married, especially when it was arranged when they were children. She wound up hooking up with some big brutish Vulcan way less attractive than Leonard Nimoy (gurl), so it's not even like we can say DATING SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT THE VULCAN WAY. 2. I...could be wrong about this, but I always thought that in TOS Spock studied at the Vulcan Science Academy AND THEN went to Starfleet. In this universe, he just goes to Starfleet and he does it because he experiences a ton of racism on Vulcan that was really only hinted at in TOS (partially by T'Pring herself). Because alternate-Spock is all too often a Spock who's just barely in control of his emotions, we can see his resentment that he's considered inferior because of his mother, and he decides he'd rather be seen as a Vulcan among humans than a human among Vulcans. the point i'm trying laboriously to make here is, I could see him in this universe actually going to T'Pring and breaking off the engagement before he leaves. 3. the timeline is actually set a good bit earlier in these movies than the Original Series was. In the show, they were all adults who'd been out of school a few years - I believe Kirk was 32 or 33? In here, they haven't even graduated. Kirk is in his mid-to-late 20's. Chekov is 17. That's one of the things I like about the AU tbh, it came and shook them up before they were really ready. Anyway, Spock and Uhura were obviously dating for awhile before Nero came for Vulcan, because his excuse for not immediately assigning her to the flagship when she's clearly the top of her class was "avoiding the appearance of favouritism".

Now, THAT RIGHT THERE is a problem some people have with the relationship that I actually understand, that she's a student and he's a TA of some kind and so they're not on equal footing and it could be creepy. I get that. I have felt that as an impediment to other ships (Jeff/Annie, hiiii!) But the reason I don't feel it here is because I find it so obvious that she was the one who pursued him. Look at the way she defends herself in the "no. I'm assigned to the Enterprise" scene. This girl is not afraid to go for what she wants and i could see him refusing her at first because it's inappropriate because of his position, but hello, it's Uhura. She's kind of enchanting.

DA

because I read the awful comics that are apparently canon (if Orci says so) I want to add that:

1) yes, she was the one who asked him out the first time and she did that only when he WASN'T her teacher anymore and their relationship was allowed
because I'm a good girl I'll share the scan with you:

2) yes, Spock was betrothed to T'pring (not married) in this timeline too BUT he "broke up" with her - they were frands and she isn't a bitch in this reality - when he left vulcan and went to the academy so that she could be free to choose another (good boy) therefore he was free to do the same when he met the goddesses that Uhura is
