Snakes Lair || Hakka's reign

Title: OMS wives: Captain T'Pock
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (TOS)
Timeline: TOS Genderbend AU
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (implied)
Characters: Spock
Rating: G
Tagline: Anjelica Huston as Captain T'Pock, Stardate 2284.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: Still not satisfied but this is the best I could do.
Notes 2: The PSD file is dated May 2016 but it might predate the coping of the files on this new computer, so I might have started this in a previous date.
For the sake of anal archiving, I might update this note when/if I turn the old PC on and check the original creation date of the file.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Who remembers the hurdle of doing this! I can just say it was harder than it looks to change a lieutenant's unifom to the one of an captain (different colors of collar and other details).
While it's very hard to find decent pics of young Anjelica Huston to work with, a more recent Anjelica is easier so this wasn't much hard.

Title: Star Trek AUs: Rule 63, AOS version [updated]
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: All main and recurring, plus some TOS recurring and an OC.
Christopher Pike, James Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy, Montgomery Scott, Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov, Keenser, Hendorff, Carol Marcus, Darwin, Kyle, Moto, 0178, M'Benga, Christine Chapel, Gary Mitchell, Gaila, USS Enterprise (human!Enterprise), Janice Rand.
Rating: G
Tagline: Senior crew and additional main crew of the U.S.S Enterprise from a genderswapped alternate timeline.
Series: Star Trek AUs, Rule 63 Trek
About the edit: Genderswapped version of the crew (as seen here).
Notes: Lieutenant 1701 is the humanoid version of the USS Enterprise (see this post for more info). Since in this universe everyone has the opposite gender, the Enterprise (and ships) is referred to as a "he" and therefore Silver Lord.
Notes 2: More info about crew and titles at the AOS crew edit.
Notes 3: Pike is still alive here (just because I wanted to have Jamie Lee Curtis, sorry).
Notes 4: Originally this was posted August 17, 2016. Slightly edited in December 2020 and another time in February 2021 and a last time between October and November 2021. For what and why, see the AOS edit.
One last, and I mean LAST time (heard me, Hakka??!), in early March 2022 (published March 06), when I completely revamped the graphic to try to make these edit a bit shorter when there's a big crew cast (to then discover Tumblr has upped the max height size to 3072 -.-).
Notes 5: It has been brought to my attention that the actress who once went by the name Ellen has come out and now goes by he/they under the chosen name Elliot. This fancasting was picked in 2016, when this piece was put together and originally published, and does reflect who Elliot went by at the time (she/Ellen). For these reasons, I won't cancel or remake this manip with another fancasting, but I felt the note was necessary to acknowledge that this fancasting couldn't work anymore and I would pick another actress if I were to make it in 2021.
This might be a good reason to headcanon Pavla as coming out and becoming Pavel in a time after this (fake) pic was supposed to be taken. ;)
About the names: Keensera is the name for the female Kenseer in "Parallel lives" (Star Trek #29/#30).
I decided that, in a world where the "canon" sex of everyone is swapped, then perhaps Gaila's mother would've picked the same names for her children and just switched them. Gaila's and her brother Kai appear in "Reunion" (Star Trek 53/54); in the end of this comic Gaila applied to be transferred on the USS Enterprise (where her brother serves).
Lieutenant Moto was named to an homage after the make-up effects sculptor Moto Hata, the man who designed the alien/mask and passed away in 2009. For the alien's female version, I chose to switch to the artist's surname.
Matthew is a masculine name related to May, from which Mae (Darwin's comics-canon name) seems to derive.
There's no canon name to the TOS character Kyle, whom Chris Doohan claims he played in the AOS movies; "Christopher" was in honor to him. To not resort to the classic "Christine" I chose the Kristeen, which apparently is a Scottish equivalent of Christine. Even if Kyle isn't Scottish and Chris - like his father - isn't Scottish either.
I explained the meaning of the other crew members' names at their manips: you can find them under the series tag or under the character's own tag.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Ah ah. This thing was a nightmare. I've been working on this since... way before summer. Every time I felt it was finished... I had the idea to change something (position of the Fleet logo, it was meant to take a square and be a "log in" page instead of be an header), then I needed to fill a blank hole, then it was another character I felt I had to add, then came the idea to make an edit for the canon crew (with additional characters) and I had the two version to reflect each other and so on. I swear, nightmare.

Title: Star Trek AUs: Knight Rider 2008
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot) / Knight Rider (2008)
Timeline: AOS Knight Rider AU
Pairing: Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Uhura, Kirk/Spock/Uhura
Characters: James Kirk, Spock, Nyota Uhura, Christopher Pike, Pavel Chekov, Hikaru Sulu, Montgomery Scott, Leonard McCoy
Rating: G
Tagline: The Knight Industries Research Enterprise Division employees.
Series: Star Trek AUs, Knight Rider AU.
Notes For the people who didn’t see the tv show, some explanations are in order:
Mike and KITT 3000 (Jim and Spock).
I already explained it here.
Sarah Graiman (Uhura). Sarah and Mike have been a couple before he left for a mission and vanished for years. She's been in mission with Mike and KITT, proving she’s a valid partner for them; she also takes care of KITT's software. Competent both on and off field, I though she was perfect for Uhura.
Charles Graiman (Pike). Charles Graiman is the head of the KR and also some kind of father figure for Mike, who grew up without a father, so it had to be Pike.
Billy Morgan (Chekov). Billy is what you'd call geek: he loves comic books and sci-fi, videogames and he's also unable to flirt with women. He has several advanced degrees and is a genius. I picked Scotty for this (head research technician? You just cannot not give that role to Scotty) but I changed mind after Beyond: not only Chekov fits better (youngest, cutest, buttjoke of the team, the genius) but Billy also partnered with Mike, and Chekov partnered with Jim in Beyond so...
Zoe Chae (Sulu). Zoe is witty, intelligent and pretty good on the field. Sulu can kick-ass and doesn’t need someone to save him, because he saves himself. I swear, the choice of giving Sulu the role originally of an Asian girl it’s just coincidence: I initially put Sulu as the FBI agent (Carrie below) and I changed this when I decided to switch Chekov. You cannot really have Chekov and Sulu, the Gossip Queens, split.
Carrie Rivai (Scotty). F.B.I agent, she is assigned to the Knight Industries after saving Doctor Graiman. Despite the appearance, Scotty is a kickass guy - see Into Darkness, when he faces danger and comes up with many lies in order to infiltrate - and Carrie is a kickass F.B.I agent who isn't scared to discard the rules or think with her own head (as seen in the pilot).
Alex Torres (Bones). Alex is NSA and is in charge of the KR Division. There was no role that would fit Bones in this, and I like the idea of Bones giving orders to Mike/Jim, if you ask me.
James Kirk (TOS) as Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. (2000) as Spock (TOS).
I already explained here why the Space Husbands would be perfect to fill Michael’s and KITT’s shoes (or, you now, tyres).
In the Knight Rider (2008) pilot Mike discovers his father is Michael Knight’s, the driver of the original KITT, with whom he shares name - he takes the surname later. I could really make George Kirk the partner of another KITT, I couldn’t, and James TOS worked. Sue me. :D
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I used the original graphic for the series official site: I managed to get my hands on it via the Internet Archive.

Title: Yeoman John Rand
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Janice Rand
Rating: G
Tagline: Charlie Hunnam as male!Janice Rand.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: My headcanon (and not only mine) face for reboot!Janice is Kristen Bell (as you can see here). I wanted to find some male actor that could somehow remind of her but... epic fail. Charlie is blonde, I love Charlie since Queer as Folk UK and he's definitely gorgeous in the pic I used so... Hm. Sue me. :D
About the name: In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek #29/#30), the male Yeoman Rand is called Jason. Since Janice is one of the female forms of John, I decided to use John instead of the comic-canon Jason.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): The pic I used came from the gold version of the red uniform used for Uhura: same model, same damn phaser, same damn fabric patch. Oh, and I hatehatehate the patterned-tunic, despite loving these uniforms to death: reconstruct the fabric to hide the rank stripes or the patch? Not so funny.

Title: Lieutenant Commander G.P. Hendorff
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: G.P. Hendorff
Rating: G
Tagline: Gina Carano as female!Hendorff, aka Cupcake.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: For a female Cupcake I wanted someone who could fit as Chief Security Officer. I admit I considered Michelle Rodriguez and Cote De Pablo (Ziva from NCIS) but Deadpool movie is still fresh and Gina just clicked: Michelle and Cote (especially Cote) don't have the imposing body that Gina has so. Not that you'll see that body, in a manip.
Hm. Oh well, Michelle and Cote can both be other security officers, Cuppy's best friends!
About the name: Poor Cupcake doesn't have a canon name, while the comics established his initials as G.P, so G.P it is.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Yes, I fixed the canon and added the rank stripes. :D

Title: Nurse Chris Chapel
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Christine Chapel
Rating: G
Tagline: Simon Baker as male!Chapel.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: My (and not only mine) headcanon face for reboot!Chapel is Rachael Taylor (as you can see here). I admit I had no idea which actor could fit this role: while searching for blond actors Simon Baker popped up. I loved him in The Guardian and, bam, he was perfect: perhaps it's only me, but I feel he has something that reminds me of Rachael Taylor.
About the name: Well, the name choice was a given. :D
Notes #2: I’ve given him the Lieutenant stripe because - as some nice soul pointed out to me - Chapel eventually gets promoted Lieutenant during the Animated Series. It frankly did seem idiotic to me that Chapel, who clearly is McCoy’s second-in-command, didn’t even have a rank in TOS.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Tried to give Simon a hair color similar to TOS Chapel, who had blond hair that were almost white at times. I pretty much forgot to do the same to my two reboot!Chapel manips! D:

Title: Ensign Pavla Chekova
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Pavel Chekov
Rating: G
Tagline: Ellen Paige as female!Chekov.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: This one was hard. I spent hours searching for Russian actresses but I didn't have much luck: they either had too little choice of pics (and I like to pick celebrities that offer plenty of pics, for my manips) or they just didn't feel like the perfect choice. So I had to broad the search with young actresses and yeah, Ellen Paige seemed to work. She isn't in any way related to Russia though. :(
Notes 2 (12/2021): It has been brought to my attention that the actress who once went by the name Ellen has come out and now goes by he/they under the chosen name Elliot. This fancasting was picked in 2016, when this piece was put together and originally published, and does reflect who Elliot went by at the time (she/Ellen). For these reasons, I won't cancel or remake this manip with another fancasting, but I felt the note was necessary to acknowledge that this fancasting couldn't work anymore and I would pick another actress if I were to make it in 2021.
This might be a good reason to headcanon Pavla as coming out and becoming Pavel in a time after this (fake) pic was supposed to be taken. ;)
About the name: The feminine form for Pavel is Pavla. In Russia, surnames get a feminine form for daughters, so Chekova.
In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek #29/#30), the female Chekov is called Pavlovna Chekov. I originally named the female counterpart of Chekov months before the comic came out for a WIP fic, and I like my choice better.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): This cosplayer, as Jane Kirk, did an amazing photoshoot, with even two shots with her with tribbles: sadly, the pics aren't much big and they're jpgs of not so decent quality. Well, at least I learned how shadows work and tried to replicate them as best as I could.

Title: Lieutenant Commander Moira Scott
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Montgomery Scott
Rating: G
Tagline: Annie Wersching as female!Scott.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: Oh my, this one. Find a face that would fit Scotty has been a nightmare: I swear I tried everything and everyone, and I don't even remember how I ended up finding Annie and who were the other choices.
About the name: In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek #29/#30), the female Scotty is named Marjorie, which doesn't sound to me very Scottish (research didn't help me). I searched, therefore, a name that could be of Scottish origins and Moira popped up.

Title: Doctor Leonore McCoy
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Leonard McCoy
Rating: G
Tagline: Holly Marie Combs as female!McCoy.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: I honestly didn't know whom to choose for Bones. I sincerely don't remember how I ended up remembering that Charmed Season One promo of Piper with her best scowling face but then everything worked. :D I know I considered Olivia Wilde (because I love the girl) and even Kristen Steward (because she has some great grumpy faces), but nope: Holly it is.
About the name: In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek #29/#30), the female Bones is named Lea. I originally came up with "Leonore" years ago and I don't particularly like Lea, so...
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): The girl showing this outfit is my hero (if I had 30 kilos less, I'd definitely get the dress and wear it - I could buy it, since US sizes are large and I could sneak into the XL, but.. damn, the dress is sooo short). I decided to color the jacket and put the medical pin for the zip.
