Omg Maya's Draco. I can't. flames. flames on the side of my face. Just a little OT rant here, but this villain-valorization-pulled-from-author's-butt is one of my pet peeves. If you like a "darker" character ok. But remaking them into someone else? Shitting all over other characters' canonical good points? GRRR ARG. It's happening in Thor fandom with Loki now (and many other fandoms as well, I'm sure, but I'm not reading them atm so w/e)

ok just needed to get that out

Also I'm getting into Iron Man and am a complete apologist so I might be a hypocrite. But only a little! And anyway comic canon is different. It's practically required to ignore 3/4 of it since it often contradicts itself anyway.

Heero is lame sry :DD

I get what you mean by breaking... but Spock breaking his preconceptions is AWESOME. I mean, even in canon, him just being best buds with Kirk is so huge. Sleeping with him or having a romantic relationship (imho) is almost nothing compared to the step he already takes.

As for Harry, yeah I see your point. And I agree with you about the value of his friendships and emotions. Though I also don't think this means he needs to marry the girl he dated in high school. They can still all stay close friends. And you know I'm not a big Draco fan, so that other stuff about "only Draco understands" bleh. But I'm also one of the people who grew increasingly disinterested in Harry as a character as he grew up. So if you take his starting point as a weird little kid and then go from there, instead of him becoming basically the Dursleys of the wizarding world, I'm happier with reading about that person anyway. And that person could still be friends with Hermione and Ron and get together w a non-Ginny person v easily.

Trek:

lol Spock def has more of a payoff in ~~~letting go~~~. Like half of Starfleet doesn't know what Kirk letting go looks like anyway. That's on display in the impassioned speeches he gives to alien races every Weds. And, yeah, Spock isn't really the "sweeping you off your feet" romance hero. Unless it's in a v odd way.

Actually the one awesome thing about the movie is some great Spock/Uhura fics (my hetOTP for TOS). The way they have them interacting is often just really unique and cool and respectful of both characters.

Oh Pon Farr. TOS has given us so much. So so much. But I'm in a zone that I remember you used to talk about w Trek. Like K/S is kinda like reading your parents sexing. So I want relationship and adventures and romance, but sexin'... idk idk. Also I have a thing about the green-ness everywhere. I wish I were more enlightened, but I'm just not >:(

Mind-melds are totes sex so you are correct
