dragonsigma:OK EVERYBODY LISTEN UP. This awesome dude right here is Theodore Sturgeon. You probably know him best as the writer of Star Trek episodes Shore Leave and Amok Time, both (in)famous for slashy subtext.I’m here to tell you how intentional it was.Sturgeon was a pretty influential figure in 20th century science fiction. He was friends with Kurt Vonnegut and inspired his character Kilgore Trout. He also wrote the first science fiction story to show gay characters in a positive light. The World Well Lost , analyzed HERE, featured a pair of devoted alien lovers chased from their homophobic planet and immediately accepted by Earth. And then their planet demands the criminals back, so two loyal spacemen set out with them. Here’s a discussion on that in relation to Star TrekIn short, if you ever doubt that the immense slash was intentional, remember who wrote it.look what my friend dragonsigma wroteread the story btw it’s perf -- source link
