I have now reached the point in the shiny new fandom where I am annoyed about the fact that there's not new fic for me to read every second of the day. or, well. There probably is, but I'm picky. or not even picky, I just don't want to read about Spock. There, I said it! I liked him, but have no interest in reading about his peen.

I am also still having problems with picturing Sulu in fic as John Cho. Like, I was never a big fan of TOS, so when I'm reading fic, I'm all, 'yes yes, McCoy is Karl Urban and Kirk is that blond pretty boy,' so on and so on with no problem. but when it comes to Sulu, there's, like, this sequence in my head that goes along the lines of, 'okay, John Cho is Sulu, but Sulu is Japanese, but John Cho is not = DOES NOT COMPUTE.' because, really. I think John Cho looks so Korean he could be selling Milkis on a restaurant calendar.

I suspect most people don't have this problem. SIGH.

Anyways, I wanted to share these two prompts from st_xi_kink because OMG SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRITE THEM RIGHT NOW NOW NOW:

1. I first came to Starfleet on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, have remained as an officer aboard the starship Enterprise.

2. Sirius Black/Leonard McCoy: Sirius falls through The Veil and, poof! All of the sudden he's on the USS Enterprise. Confusion, hilarity, and sexytimes ensue. (in the interest of full disclosure, this one is mine. so, y'know. WRITE IT.)

SERIOUSLY. These need to be written. NEEEEEEEEED.

bah. I still need more ST icons. This one is close enough.

eta: AND OMG THIS: Kirk/Reaper(Karl Urban's character from Doom) On shore leave Kirk runs into a guy who looks a LOT like Bones (can be whatever reason, coincidence, relative) and things happen

Rofl that first one

THIS IS WHAT I SAID. It's hard to not picture the old Sulu because HE was Sulu and you can't just replace one Asian guy with ANOTHER Asian guy and pretend that they're...THE SAME. OR SOMETHING. And I wouldn't notice if they had recast whomever they wanted in all the roles, but they went for LOOK-ALIKES...

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

But Sulu is meant to be PAN-ASIAN or something, I don't even know but that's what George Takei said so I'm going with it. *g* Plus, I only like imagining the new rebootfolks in sexy positions, dammit!

selling Milkis on a restaurant calendar

This made me laugh like a loon, though. ahahahaha!

[maschalismos.livejournal.com]

!!! to both of those prompts, holy crap.

There are other people I have seen talking about the Sulu thing. John Cho said in an interview that he was told by ST people that Rodenberry named Sulu after some Sea in Asia that was supposed to touch almost all the land masses there or something, so he was supposed to represent that region more than any particular country. Then they gave him a Japanese first name later in the series because George Takei is Japanese.

I know that probably doesn't help anything. But at least you know you aren't the only one who noticed?

I am soooooo tempted by it. I just need to figure out how RayK fits in. I see him working in the engine room with Scotty, mostly because I think they'd be hilarious together.

[goddamnbatman]

Mmm mechanic!Ray. Somehow I see him wretching violently everytime he's beamed somewhere XD

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

but they went for LOOK-ALIKES...

yes yes EXACTLY.

eh. I'll get past it, I'm sure. Mostly I'm just annoyed with myself for noticing in the first place.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I am DYING over that first one!

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

I also have that problem with John Cho/Sulu.

John Cho is adorable, and he did a fantastic job, but as you said...Korean != Japanese.

[honeymull.livejournal.com]

Can I share a porny Chekov thought with you? It is OFF TOPIC from teh prompts, but I had it and it's amazing and now I need to shaaaaare it.

*hopeful beam*

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

yah, I'd read that somewhere, and I was all, 'well...okay.' but I still have problems with it in my head. It's like...SIGH. A whole big stupid issue I've been dealing with for years, because a white guy can play an American, a Brit, a German, whatever, and no one blinks an eye, so why shouldn't Asians have the same luxury? But then I think, 'But they don't look the same! It's *different*!', and then there's this lame issue I have with Chinese and Korean people having to pretend to be Japanese (BEEN THERE DONE THAT) and, UGH. I just want to enjoy the sexytimes with everyone else. :(

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

hmm, lemme thin--OMG YES YES YES. :D

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

AMAZING, YES?!?!

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

yah, I've read that before, and, like. In a way I'm all, 'okay, yes, I get that, that makes sense,' but then I *look* at them and I'm all, 'HMM.'

I think maybe I just need to watch the movie a few more times. :D

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

ugh, I know! I mean, I love John Cho SO MUCH, and I am ecstatic that he got this role (and that people are now writing porn about his character), but I'm still all, 'really?' when it comes to thinking of him as Sulu. I mean, watching the movie I have no problem at all; it's just after.

Obviously this just means that I need to watch the movie nonstop 24/7.

[honeymull.livejournal.com]

OKAY. So the way I see it? Chekov is *definitely* a virgin. But, but, also in my head, he does have a little bit of experience. Rushed, drunk blowjobs in the back of a bar, Chekov half-confused, totally dazed as some random nobody hauls him back there and sucks him off. And it's awesome, and Chekov wants to do it, too, since the guy's making these happy little humming sounds while he's down there, so after he bangs his head into the wall behind him and sees stars when he comes after about six seconds, he wriggles down to his knees, and he gets like, one fleeting mouthful of dick before the guy's coming, and Chekov's spluttering and coughing with it, and then it's gone, it's over, and the guy's zipping back up, slipping past him with a murmur, and Chekov's left staring wide-eyed and panting, still kneeling on the floor of this stupid Star Fleet bar - And all he can think about is cock, how it felt in his mouth, how he had to stretch his lips around it, the taste, the slickness. Licks his lips a few times, maybe, sense memory.

And that's all his experience. WHICH MEANS, he's had it DANGLED in front of him, then SNATCHED AWAY, so he has to be going crazy by now. And I just like the idea of little Ensign Chekov getting hard-ons at critically inappropriate times because he can smellSulu from where they're sitting two feet apart, or when Bones runs a hand down his neck, over his throat to catch his pulse, or when Captain Kirk gives him that stupid cock-sure grin - and he has to shift in his seat and concentrate on the controls before he embarrasses himself.

Augh. I just really, really want cockslut!virgin!Chekov. And this is how my mind rationalizes it.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Hee. That's just a sacrifice you will need to make, I guess. At least they cast someone *much* cuter for Chekov or we would be deprived of so much hot prons! ;)

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

um. You're writing this, right? RIGHT?!?!?

[honeymull.livejournal.com]

Oh oh! AND, he doesn't really know that it's kinda slutty to be all excited and, well, slutty, and open once he actually has a cock in his mouth, since hey, nobody exactly sat him down and talked this through with him. So when a...series of events...leads to him and Sulu being in that particular situation, he's all enthusiastic and eager and nuzzling in at Sulu's cock through the uniform, because oh my god, he's waited way too damn long for this, and Sulu may have to manhandle him away before HE loses it, and kejrhlkjaehg. I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL WRITE THIS.

PROBABLY? Seeing as how they don't stfu in my head. D:/:D

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

He's just so bad ass with that mech!Sword. [Joke about Japanese mech!swords here]

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

I have never needed a fic the way I need that second prompt. SIRIUS AND BONES. YES.

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

::insert joke about a dog and his bone::

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

sladk;alkda;lkdal;skda;k;alskda;ldka; SOMEONE HAS TO WRITE THIS NOW. DO IT DO IT DO IT, or I swear I will cry like poor cock-deprived Chekov. :(

[charliehey.livejournal.com]

Well, geez, how do you expect people to know he's Korean if he's not wearing his kimono?
