So I got this ask from my darling @twistedangelsays and I wrote this entire thing, and then realized that I’d written five thousand words for a headcanons ask. Soooo now it’s getting posted separately. I might crosspost it to AO3 if Adler hassles me into it and/or there’s interest in that. Once again: Tarsus IV warnings, and even thought this is…pretty calm comparatively speaking, it’s still under a cut.
lathori asked: Okay, so I just saw Star Trek tonight and spent an hour talking to you about it. I literally cannot believe I am doing this. I am already suffering because of your other Star Trek headcannons but I guess I'm just a fucking masochist. So, my dear Bones, give me (at least) five headcannons on how Tarsus IV happens in the alternate new Star Trek trilogy universe. <3 Your Kirk
HA, and people say I’m the twisted one. Fortunately for you, I am a wee bit of a sadist, and I love talking about Tarsus IV, so heeeere we go. I WAS going to do five people finding out about Tarsus, but that turned into a five thousand word monster so instead here are just some headcanons. For those of you who aren’t aware, Tarsus was a famine and genocide, which Jim Kirk survived as a kid—basically, if you can think of a content warning, it applies, thus: everything is under the cut.
