the THING IS. the thing is about how people misunderstand kirk. is that YES he’s constantly explaining love and attraction and humanity to beautiful women, and giving intense speeches about the beauty of the universe and the stars and YES it usually ends with swelling music and a slightly awkward kiss. and most imitations or parodies of kirk’s character present these speeches as a manipulative, insincere flirtation with no heart behind it. but the thing about jim kirk is that he never half asses anything. he puts his WHOLE ass and heart behind everything he says and does. he tells people in hopeless, cruel situations that the universe is wonderful and incredible, that there is love and beauty, that he comes from a world where people truly care for and help each other. and he’s not saying this just to get in bed with someone. he’s saying it because he wants to share his awe and joy, wants others to have the opportunity to experience love and wonder and exploration. he truly does believe in the power of love and collaboration! it’s not his fault that people fall in love with him constantly. he’s not doing it on purpose. he’s just very pretty and passionate

“There is one last subject I must address. I have tried on many occasions to write about Jim Kirk. This seems to me an increasingly impossible task. Jim Kirk lies at the very heart of this account; he is present on every page, the ink in which these words have been written… How do you write about someone that you have so deeply loved?”
