Aaaaand now I’m wondering if Kirk packs on some extra pounds as he gets older (even though he exercises and is still fit for his age) because he always finishes everything on his plate, even if he’s full.  Since, you know, he instinctively doesn’t take food for granted.

I mean, I could seriously weep at the lost character development potential of Tarsus IV. It is the richest, most complex treasure trove of a backstory you could ever WISH for a character, and I actually think that JJ Abrams, and Chris Pine, etc, literally didn’t know it exists–I think they likely have no idea that James Kirk is a childhood survivor of famine and genocide. I’ll keep hoping for a canon iteration of Kirk that intentionally encompasses Tarsus, and until then….thank God for our amazing fic.
