You make me feel

And that wasn't just a petty excuse to put a bunch of random wierd icons together and scare you.

If I were trying to scare you, I would've used:


I'm very very sorry for my apparent psycho-ness but I'm very very flattered, you see.
Let me know and link me when you get your artwork in, darls.

*Falls over backwards, ravaged by happiness* What can a girl say to such a gratuitously awesome comment, except... GRACIAS!!!

I guess I'm gonna have to check deviantart about 200,000x's a day instead of the usual 150,000. Truly, you have inspired me master Obi-Wan.

*Blushes, a tinsy embarrassed* Is McKirk still your OTP? as it is kinda my obsession at the moment.

GURLLLLLLLLLLL. MHMMM.

YOU ARE ONE SEXI PIE.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT BECAUSE MY BODY, SOUL, HAND, AND EYEBROWS ARE SOLD TO MCKIRK.

I'm gonna be drawing the shit out of that hopefully soon.
COMICS GODDAMN IT, COMICS.

I'm sorry for all the caps. D:

But you understand what a crazy pshyco motherfucker I am.
Yes, excuse my language too.
BUT THEY IS A STREE-RELIEF-ER.


Can you tell that I'm practically a icon-spammer?


















WE SEES WHUT YOU DID ON THE INTERNET THERE.

I shall now proceed to send you a time-wasting list of TEH SEX of McKirk I gots from el jay. BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE GONE for the rest of the week as usual (see my journal if you are extremely bored/have no life like the rest of the fandom). Thank god this thing doesn't have a character limit. Or else I'd be fucked.
You better reply back because I LOVE YOU.
MMMMMMMKKKKKKK? Doesn't have to be long or anything, just an acknowledgement that you got this message SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF SHIZ. You should get a icon pic so I can remember you betterz. My memory is of a dope-addict, you see.

OH, and I replaced my webcam with some McKirk icon shiz, if you want to take a look at it.

ENOUGH OF MY BULLSHIT. ON WE GO TO CANDY MOUNTAIN:

----------------
(Raphaellover)
- All the touching and glances between Kirk and McCoy that aren't necessary but constant throughout the film.
- No one had to tell them they'd have an epic friendship... they just knew.
- That Bones, despite warning Jim against fighting his Superior Officer, growls at Spock himself later.
- ...I think it’s why I got mad at all the Spock/Uhura initially… it seemed to be jammed in there to kill the slash and nothing else. I mean, seriously, it doesn’t serve any point in the overall design of the plot. It doesn’t further anything; It doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know. I felt Spock showed more emotion when he was mad at Kirk, speaking to his father, and so on than any of the scenes with Uhura. So, it annoyed me because all it did was make it so that, no matter how BFF Spock and Kirk get in later films, there will always be someone more important to Spock and that’s Uhura (and Kirk’s one of my favourites, so that makes me lonely/sad to think about and I totally can’t slash from that all that logically, lol!).
But, as I was grumbling over this, feeling as if I had been cheated my epic!slash (though I was still deeply in love with the film), when it hit me that forcing my expectations on it wasn’t fair. I needed to judge it based on what it was, not what I assumed it would be...(about Kirk/McCoy)And I felt for sure I had committed some major Trek faux pas, but I couldn’t get around it. It was so there (I’m deliriously happy at having found this community very shortly after… it made me feel like I wasn’t off my nut and about to be shunned by my new foray into Trek-dom)...They complimented each other so well. No one puts up with Jim’s shit and yet is still utterly loyal to the end like Bones. He risked everything to get Jim on board the Enterprise with him, and for what? Because he couldn’t stand to see him so upset by it and reeking of abandoned puppy. That says A LOT. And Jim who has so little in his life, needs someone he can count on. Someone who won’t leave him. And he does seem to count on and trust Bones. Despite griping about the hyposprays, he lets his friend do them. Beyond that, there were so many little things. The way they sit next to each other at the assembly (and Kirk glances over to Bones in nonverbal communication), Bones taking part in the Kobayashi Maru for Jim’s sake, Jim slaping Bones on the back upon entering the ship at the end (remembering and referencing his aviaphobia), Jim reaches out and holds McCoy’s arm when he passes over Pike to make sure he’s steady, etc. It’s perfect! They are so unconsciously aware of each other… their body language is always turned toward each other, always in reaction to the other in a scene. Love. Love. LOVE!And the movie tie-in novel encompasses this dynamic between Kirk and McCoy beautifully:
Kirk froze, staring blankly at the doctor. From the time they had met at school, McCoy had been his best friend. Maybe his only real friend. And now, when it mattered most, his closest friend wasn’t with him <-- I don’t know about you, but that chokes me up. I can feel Jim’s shock and sense of betrayal in the fact that McCoy is trying to mollify him, to mediate and even side with Spock. He expected 100% loyalty from Bones and is so hurt when he doesn’t get it. It shows how he trusts him and relies on him so implicitly and I love that the writer makes it important by taking a moment to put it in there. Here’s another instance:
At least he had departed the Enterprise secure in the knowledge that sedation had been administered by someone other than Bones McCoy. The good doctor might have disagreed with him on strategy and chosen to side with that pointy-eared usurper, but he had also opposed the need to ban Kirk from the ship. <-- Again, a reference to Kirk’s need to believe and trust in McCoy. It’s not wholly necessary to the story, but it’s something the writer singles out as necessary to Kirk by including it. He can’t lose faith in his friend and takes comfort in whatever he can to still believe in him. It resolves the tension presented by the first passage. Kirk can find solace in the face of the initial betrayal (siding with Spock) because it wasn’t a full one, not if Bones is against marooning him on Delta-Vega.

(lisamariedavis)
- In the reboot I can see Spock and Kirk becoming friends, but there was just such a spark between Kirk and McCoy from the word go. "I may throw up on you" is offically the best opening line ever, IMHO.
- McCoy comes across as the first person in Kirk's life who sticks with him, protects him, and that scene when Spock, Kirk, and Pike come back to The Enterprise, the way Kirk and McCoy react to seeing one another just screams more than friends. And McCoy not being able to leave him behind? Come on!

(Anon)
-Jim *needs* somebody to tell him how awesome he is and trust him to the end and be able to talk to him when shit goes wrong. McCoy's relationship fell apart because he cared so much, and his wife took advantage of that. In a way, he needs somebody to take care of, and Kirk is that for him. He's also able t trust Jim and let him in the way he's afraid of letting anybody else.

(joeannk)
- Both are country boys at heart and have some unhappiness in their pasts-in that sense they have an acute understanding of where the other is coming from.
- Three years of bonding at the Academy, something TOS never claimed.
- Both Kirk and McCoy are smoking hot specimens of male pulchritude--something which I could never say about DeForest Kelley, much as I loved him.
- McCoy is a natural caregiver--something Reboot!Kirk clearly lacks in his life.

(agarwaenloth)
- See, the thing about comparing TOS and XI is the fact that they are two very different universes, and therefore two different fandoms. Sure, they are both Star Trek, just like TOS and Next Generation are both Star Trek. But the Kirk from TOS and the Kirk from XI are as distinct from each other as Kirk and Picard. And, because of the butterfly effect created by Nero, everyone else is distinct from their counterpart, though, some may be closer than others.

(driftingartist)
- New school K/S has sort of become the equivalent to Naru/Sasu shipping D:

(bonseyandjimmy)/(dochii)
- I mean sure, I liked K/S at first because it's what I shipped in TOS, but in AOS K/Mc is just....more logical. The character dynamic of all the characters is vastly different from what it was in TOS, so changes in relationships like that are natural.In TOS, Spock was the one to ground Jim. In AOS, it's Bones. And that's why at least I ship K/Mc. Because it makes the most sense.
- Well, first I was very much into Spock/Kirk and Spock/Mccoy, as those were the pairings that made the most sense....in the TOS.
After watching the movie again and watching the original series, I noticed that the chemistry between the characters was changed dramatically in the Movie AU then in TOS.
The way I see it, Kirk/Mccoy just makes a fucking lot more sense in the Reboot universe. It might have worked in TOS with a bit of pushing, but it was clearly outshines by the chemistry between those two and Spock and other characters of the show (Rand not withstanding, though I love her.)
In TOS, they got stationed together and just formed a mutual respect for each other. In Reboot, they met at times in their lives when they basically had nothing left, and came together from that. A bond I think that was much stronger than in TOS.
That is why I ship Mccoy/Kirk. Because it's just....logical.
- ...Mccoy, on the other hand, was just like Kirk. Broken down, no home to his name, and baggage that rivaled his own. They just...clicked like I'd never seen before, at least not in the TOS. It was that sense of understanding that really did it for me, what turned me to Mccoy/Kirk.

(rei17)
-The obvious affection between Kirk and McCoy was really intense, especially since I believe McCoy is the first friend Kirk ever had - at least in this universe. He seems to be really lonely and broken at the beginning.
-...them being so incredibly comfortable around each other, which is remarkable since both struck me as loners.
- Kirk is totally [McCoy's] weakness! *nods nods nods* Very good point! I love the thought of Kirk making gruffy, cynical McCoy more vulnerable. (Referring to how Bones couldn't leave Jim behind after his suspension...)
-(unrelated but)There are some characters I just can't stand (regardless which gender) and most of the time I just try to ignore them in fanfics.
But usually I'm very much annoyed at the amount of women-hate among the slash-fans. It's like they think only when all women are bitches or dead or otherwise occupied two guys could end up together. Which is kind of sad actually.

(eonism)
-From the first scene, they just seem to click. They're just so comfortable with each other, with the casual bickering as well as the friendly affection. They're also basically inseperable, with Jim wanting Bones with him during the Kobayashi Maru test, Bones smuggling Kirk aboard the Enterprise, and the way Bones just happens to linger around Jim whenever he's on the bridge. The little things, like having Bones go after Spock for jettisoning Jim to Delta Vega, and Jim slapping Bones' back and telling him to "Buckle up" at the end, that to me, solidify that sense of closeness.
(Oh yeah, the buckle up thing is from when Jim first met McCoy in the shuttle..in case you didn't know, Soda. =-D)
- The AU proves that Kirk needs that one solid, unbreakable bond in his life in order to move forward, and I honestly believe he found it in McCoy this time.
- Bones is, and will always be, there to fill the emotional gap in this Jim's life...Bones is a main character, and, let's be honest, Bones > Spock as far as importance in Jim's life goes...

(wickedground)
- K/Mc turned from an underdog-ship to the most shipped ST slash ship, at least on LJ (if the member-numbers speak the truth, that is to say). And this within one month. (I think this is true. XD When you depart from places like dA and FF.Net. It's FULL of McKirk..)

(gentlest_sin)
- I have this tendency to ship pairings that make more sense..
(That quote was from me..)
yeah...I mean, if it's canon and you get to see it on screen...yay? Not much fun, imo.
But if there's NO HINT, no subtext, no interations, nuthin...where the hell's the fun in that? It's like being a straight girl in love with a gay boy. Goin' nowhere, doin' nuthin. Dumb.

(lulabela)
- Bones can keep Kirk grounded and be a supporter in ways Kirk has never seemed to have before. Kirk can keep Bones from falling into the pit of despair/alcohol/cynicism that otherwise may have loomed large.
- Of course having the ridiculously sexy Karl Urban playing Bones really helped.
- Kirk in this movie is very pretty but what I love most is how broken he is. He retains many of the innate Kirk characteristics that will eventually make him a great captain but, due to what appears to have been a craptastic childhood, they're somewhat buried. Having an anchor like Bones to help heal some of those issues is what I think allows the inner strength to shine.

(illogical_me)
- 1. "I may throw up on you." - honestly, best introduction ever.
2. "Study my ass." - I read into a lot of things, and the way that the line was said kind of introduced a familiarity between the two characters.
3. Bones faked his illness to get him on the ship. He almost walked away too, but after he sort of saw how Jim was upset, he came back, in his grumpy, fantastic way of his.

(missmarie9)
- Except, the minute Bones sat down next to Jim, it clicked. Bones was so gruff and so beat down and looked like he was falling apart at the seams, something I related to instantly. Throughout the film I fell in love with him. I liked Jim, a lot, but Bones stole my heart. Everything about him. He's so blatant and I'm-going-to-push-you-whether-you-like-it-or-not, which I think is why his friendship with Jim worked for me. Bones does push Jim, doesn't put up with him the way others are charmed into, and Jim needs that, being so out of control as he is. As people have said here, they compliment each other on many levels. They both essentially have nothing when they meet and I think slowly, they rebuilt their lives, put themselves back together with each other's help...And how can you not feel something for them when you hear the relief in their voices when Jim is beamed back onto Enterprise after saving Captain Pike? That sigh of Jim's name from Bones' lips then the oh-thank-god tone of Jim's when he spots his best friend. There wasn't a definite moment for me when they just struck and I had to ship. There's no way to explain.

(sesshy_is_sexy)
- Jim in this universe needed someone to see through his "charming exterior," kick him in the ass and be his friend. Before Bones with this Jim's history, I'm sure he had little to no serious relationships of any kind in his past. And though Bones is older than Jim, I can see them both growing with each other so much more than on their own, finding a direction in their life that makes them happy, with someone who accepts them for all they are, all faults and flaws and all the wonderful things they discover as well.

Alas, so few people understand the awesomeness that is icon-spamming. I mean, after all; you can cook it a thousand different ways.

As to the McKirk-amazingness-persuasion list: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, being the grisled, worldly star trek fan that I am (tee hee), I already acknowledged most of these little juicy pieces of analysis, but who am I to deny the opportunity to pat myself on the back for being so, so right about this pairing? Yesss, you go C.C. ^-^

Thanks again to you! May I dedicate my first deviantartwork to your glory?

Lastly, if I were you I'd hang out in the clouds for a little while. There be angels playing canasta thar.
