Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Omg this interaction šš Bones loves dressing him up ahhhhhhh
Gentlemen please there is a crisis going on.
So sometimes I think about AOS vs TOS, and the biggest thing is that in TOS, Mcspirk is basically cannon. You cannot tell me those boys donāt love each other, it makes me crazy.
But in AOS, itās just Spirk. Donāt get me wrong, I was a Spirk fan waaaaaay before I noticed Mcspirk in TOS, but I try to see the tension between anyone in shows I watch, I Jim and Bones just seemed like brothers. On the surface, this is just interesting, but what about Prime!Spock? (Iām gonna call him Selek)
Because he knew Jim and Leonard since his 30s. In this scenario, he dated them, basically married them. Hell, heās tāhyāla with one and shared his katra with the other. He knows them. Itās the three of them.
So do you think he gets whiplash sometimes?
I bet he visits Jim and Spock, sometimes, especially after they start dating. And I wonder if one time theyāre talking, and Bones walks in, and heās expecting him to join in. To meld into the pair like his Leonard did. But instead he stands apart, like the friend that he is. I bet itās heartbreaking, another reminder of what Selekās lost.
Not only that, but what about Bones?
Thereās an animatic somewhere on YouTube of Everything Stays where it compared AOS and TOS, and it pointed out to me that in the Kelvin timeline, thereās no nurse Chapel, and it got me thinking.
Not only do we not see Nurse Chapel, but I donāt remember there being a Doctor MāBenga either. So he has none of his original work friends in the sickbay. Well, he still has Jim and Spock, to an extent.
But what about Joanna?
We hear about Jocelyn in the shuttle, how his wife took the whole damned planet in the divorce, but does that include his daughter? The crew are significantly younger in AOS, does he even have her? Just how lonely is Bones?
I think about Leonard McCoy a lot.
For pride -

I'm making more but rn I'm just a little sleepy
Great casting choice.
Masterlist of all the Bones Comparison pics that Iāve collected! Some of the specific comparisons are ones that others drew my attention too, but a few I stumbled upon myself. All pics are off the ānet. My apologies for duplicate pics, but Iām not really sorry because I like them all so much.
First up: Thoughtful Bones. Or pensive. Or concerned. Or worried out of his mind. You decide, lol
...I donāt know how to caption this expression, but I do know that I find it amusing.
Soft!Bones! His not-smile! āTis the same! The little crook in it gets me. (My personal favorite)
Top pics: Bones looking at His Idiots(TM) with love. Bottom pics: Bones looking at His Idiots(TM) with pure disgruntled annoyance.
Bones silently questioning your sanity. Or his. Who knows.
No questioning it now, Bones has decided with all of his full Chief Medical Officer Insight that the idiots surrounding him have lost their collective marbles. Now all thatās left to wonder is just where their minds flew the coop to.
Bones Yelling at ALLL the Idiots.
Bones just being himself! ;-)
I might do separate posts containing individual comparisons later. Anyway, I do think that Karl Urban was a spectacular follow up to Deforest Kelleyās portrayal of Bones. They genuinely look like they could be related!
this probably isn't a hot take, but whenever I get to the point in a conversation where I'm talking about Star Trek characters playing DnD (it would probably always happen, I need the other person to let me talk long enough), I always get real hung up on explaining the concept that
Bones will always play Cleric, and complain about it.
I'm not done,
He will complain about the nature of the spells, he will complain about his friends getting injured, he will complain about being the only healer, he will complain if the party don't rest, he'll complain about spending all day tending people and then going and doing it all again, in the break room after work in a pretend fantasy world!
and they cave, and even Jim starts to think maybe it's a little unfair, and isn't sure how Bones got trapped in this anyhow.
Jim makes a half-elf cleric with sparkly hair and a backstory about their family being eaten by mermaids. Spock makes a druid to fill out the spells a bit so they don't run out, Scotty makes a fighter called Worp (second name might sound a bit like Core, but shh), and Uhura is playing her openly declared favourite class which is a bard.
The stage is set for another DPS.
Bones plays a Ranger.
he. cannot. stand. it.
ten minutes he's already twitchy, thirty minutes and someone makes the mistake of mentioning rangers get spell slots at a higher level and he keeps surreptitiously asking when that is.
2 tortorous hours later and he gives up.
Sorry Bones, we weren't healing right x)
...damn right u weren't, he smiles because he knows tho.
the party had never been so healthy in hp, but next session they all know Bones is loving every minute.
anyway yeah, if you met someone irl who tried to explain this chances are they were me, congrats on finding my blog lol
I may try again if I think it didn't hit hard enough or summat or I have more to say, be warned x)
Same hereāŗļø
I am weak for fanfics when Spock is sick/injured or in some kind of emotional distress and heās just like āiām fineā and then Jim or Leonard (or āØbothāØ) come and theyāre just like āare you though?ā And if you have any fics like that, I am begging you, support your local addict and send them. Please. I have no life.

Dr. Joanna E. McCoy, read more about her here:
(And yes, her middle name is just as horrendous as her dadās)
Daughter of Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy and Jocelyn McCoy, nĆ©e Hall, was born on January 7, 2257. In her early life, she lived on the planet Centaurus, an Earth colony orbiting Alpha Centauri. She and her family were there in 2259 when the planet experienced a crop failure and the entire population was threatened by starvation; fortunately, philanthropist Carter Winston's intervention prevented the worst. While she was a toddler at the time, both of her parents repeated that story to her very often, and this selflessness inspired Joanna in her career. When she was four, her parentās relationship, which was already fraught, broke apart in a messy divorce, partly due to her fatherās job taking him off planet often, and her motherās growing discontent with their relationship and her longing for a former sweetheart of hers. While they tried to shield her from it as best as they could by sending her often to stay over at her aunt and uncle Donna and Fred Withers, she still witnessed many arguments and was disheartened by the repetitive fights and the pressure to have to āpick a sideā, even if her parents never asked her such a thing.
Deciding on a compromise, Joanna would stay for a few weeks with her mother on Centaurus, then a few weeks with her father on Earth, as he decided to return to live in Georgia to practice medicine. During these shuttle flights, Joanna fell in love with the vastness of space, seeing it as more of a bridge between her family than a dark, unknown dangerous thing as her father did. Additionally, these constant transitions made it hard for her to ever feel rooted and at home somewhere, except in space, which influenced her choice to pursue a Starfleet career.
Eventually, her father got a starfleet commission, and as such the visitation time was more stretched out, but she never lost contact with him. When he joined the crew of the Enterprise as CMO, Joanna often exchanged messages and video calls with her father. During that time, she continued her schooling on Centaurus and did her pre-med there, until 2278, when she decided to return to Earth for medical school at the University of Mississippi, of which Leonard McCoy was an alumni.
Being a young woman with her first real taste of freedom, she had a few situationships, namely with a woman named Marianne, with whom she believed she had a serious relationship, but it wasn't reciprocated.
In 2282, while already having gone through medical school, she decided to join Starfleet medical to take additional xenomedicine and xenobiology classes, as well as earning her qualification for space service and a Starfleet commission. It was where she first met Saavik, then a first year cadet who got herself injured in a less-than-fair boxing match with a jealous player of a rival baseball team while Joanna was volunteering as a medic on duty at the Academy Gym. During that period, she also dated Malcom Erikson, then an Academy upperclassman who had to retake a few fitness tests and classes to be allowed his full commission as an officer. Joannaās time at the academy in San Francisco brought her closer with her father, partly because it allowed her to spend time with him regularly for the first time since he began serving when she was 12.
She then served on Luna base and on Mars as a doctor, then on Deep Space 2 from 2284 to 2290, before requesting to start working on ships, namely the U.S.S Carpenter until 2296, when newly appointed Captain Saavik made a request to have her as her CMO on the U.S.S Eridani.
Joannaās father was nervous about her joining the fleet and very scared of her first long space deployment with the Eridani, and has always been wary of her joining Starfleet, considering his own dangerous experiences in space.
A shrewd doctor and surgeon, she inherited the fierce protectiveness of her father, and is known to have a temper when under pressure. She also is a very trusting person, being far less skeptical than her father, with a very loving and generous personality, and that has caused her to be burned one time too many in her romantic relationships. Despite that, her kindness remained, and her bedside manner was appreciated by many crewmembers, until she began berating them for their carelessness in the field.
New chapter of my fic is up! Spock sure does have some Ruminations in this one.
No art for this chapter, but there will be for the next one!

I was talking to my friend and it hit me that there is SO much potential for a My Big Fat Greek Wedding Spirk AU.
Like dude. Just picture it.
30 something year old Spock trying to live his life and gain some autonomy from the bounds of Vulcan culture and trying to date Kirk in secret. Spock having a big ass family and the reason he keeps not telling Jim about his relatives is because he canāt keep track of them thereās so many. Instead of a bunch of cousins named āNickā Spock has ten Vulcan relatives all named Selek. He secretly has no idea who is who (much less which part of the family theyāre from).
The scene where they find out about Toulaās boyfriend and theyāre like oh so YOURE Mr Pottery Class EXCEPT itās āah, so YOU must be Mr Transwarp Theory Logistics,ā and Jim is like sweating bullets while Spock is internally hemorrhaging.
Jim having to undergo various Vulcan rituals and learning the language in order to impress Spockās family.
Someone PLEASE write this. Like.
Jim: Iām sorry I didnāt ask to date your son, but sir, heās THIRTY years old!
Sarek:
Jim: Alright. May I.. PLEASE ,, date your son???
Sarek: ā¦
Sarek: no.
Jim: ā¦
Jim: Iāll see you tomorrow Spock
(Bonus points for Sybok - or Michael- being like Hey Jim! Weāre gonna kill ya!) ā ā
Boy does Captain Kirk have a rough one in it. Donāt worry, itāll get worse. ;)
In which an away mission goes wrong, and a new helmsman is needed for the U.S.S. Enterprise: one Gary Mitchell, formerā¦friend of one James Tiberius Kirk.
Kirk is desperately trying to keep his past hidden and maintain his image in front of his crew, but recent events are bringing everything heās been pushing down closer and closer to the surface.
Meanwhile, Spock is suspicious of this new crew member andā¦perturbed as he realizes he may not know Kirk as well as he thought he did after everything theyād been through over the years.
The universe has never been kind to James T. Kirk. (But could it be, in the end?)
