Jim Kirk Playlist

I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!

This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!

Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer

San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there

Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉

Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"

I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over

Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song

Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally

Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off

Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉

And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!

Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?

I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)

Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech

Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others

Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?

Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹

7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this

Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too

Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock

Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes

What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!

....Speaking of Star Trek ghost-hunting.

It's related to my earlier post.

honestly if teleporters ever got invented during my lifetime i would be the most annoying analog boomer about it. my grandkids would be like ugh, grandma, why don’t you just take a teleporter trip to come visit us, we all do it all the time and it’s obviously safe and i would be like absolutely not. it kills you and reconstitutes a copy with your exact memories. you are consciously my grandchildren and i do not hold it against you but i know in my heart that you are nothing but copies of copies of copies borne out of irresponsible technology use. i am not touching that devil’s elevator as long as i live. i will take an airplane and you will wait for the several hours it takes for me to come visit you

watching Bones and Azazel decided to show up

same for Meg a few episodes earlier

Small paint study using the cat skull I’ve got It’s by no means fully accurate since I started without references or intention to make it a cat skull

YOU KNOW YOU’RE TOO INVESTED WHEN YOU MAKE AN ANATOMICAL STUDY OF A FICTIONAL SPECIES FROM A VIDEO GAME.

So I was bored (read; procrastinating) and decided to study Koroth? The Draken are supposed to be an elite hunter species but Wildstar anatomy (or at least how I butchered Koroth in the character designer) doesn’t necessarily support the idea. So I tried my best to figure out how?

If you want to read my text wall of stuff, hit that readmore because HOO BOY

A disclaimer though:

This is all headcanon btw and should not be taken for like an actual guide or law or whatever. This is just me spitballing I know jackshit about animal/human anatomy outside some in depth science and art classes. I am not a doctor/anthropologist/forensic thing whatever. 

 I would assume most draken have evolved to have a heavier brow, or at least the pronunciation of such. Which are attributed to fatty tissue pockets/deposits, both for need for sturdiness when fighting or attacking, using force to headbutt and survivability purposes, as an assist in adjusting to light, possible backup energy supply in case of malnutrition/dehydration, impact cushion, etc. 

They seem to have flatter skulls, which would be mildly detrimental but the bone is definitely denser in the forehead and jaw-- which is high arcing and heavily lined with movable muscle tissues for movement range and strength. Good biters. Not like in the range of jaw movement of an alligator, but maybe closer to a pitbull or large wild cat. Due to the oblong shape of the skull, the bone has to be denser in order to prevent undue stress and injury to the brain from various impacts and traumas. Now when looking at some real world comparisons of skulls, I found that the best suited models were a cross between a gorilla/orangutan skull in brow shape and ridge size, and the early model of the Homo Ergaster, which is an early flat faced, vocalizing hunter-gatherer hominid originating form the African continent several million years ago.

Nose!! Dependent on the structure (since the character generator does allow for some biodiversity), the Draken are okay-ish for scenting things. Probably better than most playable species in the Wildstar Universe. However as far as elite hunting species go, I could arguably say that the Draken would not be the best bloodhounds due to low/average nasal cavity depth. The bridge is mostly bone and muscle, with a very very short cartilage tip. Not a lot of room for any sort of scent receptors there and even then they’d have to be heavily condensed or their actual skin/fur/scale around the noses would be quite a bit more sensitive and prone to weakness. 

(However now considering the skull it’s likely plausible....)

Eyes! Actual socket is very large, and houses possibly a decent sized eyeball, with a fair amount of muscle tissue and fiber around the area. Due to the fatty tissue deposit/pocket above the brow bringing a visual weight down around the area, the eyes do NOT look very functional, but in fact are quite acute. Whereas humans, we can see mostly sclera, iris and pupil on average in our own eyes, the draken have no visible sclera, it is enlarged iris and pupil which are excellent excellent excellent when it comes to hunting small and fast prey, and keen night vision. That however can vary dependent on the area of the Draken home world they or their family line extended from. 

SO yeah! That’s a Koroth for ya. Have a gif.

I had this idea for a for like a Forsaken lounge singer? Doo wop and jazz and stuff. But then I thought what if it was a mage-made trio!!

So, here’s Patella Belle & The Ghouls
