Snakes Lair || Hakka's reign

Title: OMS wives: Admiral Jean Kirk
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (TOS)
Timeline: TOS Genderbend AU
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (implied)
Characters: Jim Kirk
Rating: G
Tagline: Grace Kelly as Admiral Jean Kirk, Stardate 2284.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: Just for nerds, apparently. In The Wrath of Khan, the braid was black/gold checks. From The Voyage Home, the braid was changed with a patterned ribbon that had been seen on admiral maroon since then. Despite working from a generic pre-Wrath of Khan timesetting, I decided to stick with the latter.
Notes 2: Final touches given back in July 2022 (7th). It was held back because I had the utopic dream of combine it with Spock's in an OMS Wives manip. Since it's akin to impossible with this specific pics I used...
Notes 3: 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 definitely harder to change a lieutenant's uniform to the one of an admiral (different colors of collar and other details).

Title: White sheets, Space Threesome version
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock/Uhura
Characters: James Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Spock
Rating: G
Tagline: The Power Trio of the U.S.S. Enterprise in bed.
Series: White sheets
About the manip: Post-Into Darkness, both Spock and Nyota find themselves torn about their feelings toward Jim, feelings awakened by James's tragic brush with death. Feelings growing as days pass, and closeness with a weak James facing rehabilitation.
Each of them face their conflicting feelings on their own, until Nyota decides it's time to talk to Spock. It's a shock for her to discover that he too is feeling pulled in two opposite directions, the one who leads to Nyota (the woman he loves) and the one who leads to James (a man for whom he's harboring many different emotions). Neither wish to break their relationship, neither feel they'll be able to stop the growing love for James Kirk.
Eventually they find a solution to the conundrum: include James in their romantic life. If James agrees, that's all.
Notes: Yes, they are in a very balanced polyamorous relationship and they are very happy about it.
Notes 2: This manip had been planned back in 2015 (or even before). All necessary pics were collected back then.
Skip to 2023. One of the people I follow in Tumblr reblogs a post from ksspringfever. The curiosity killed the cat and I took a look at the prompts. I happen into one asking for a Spirkxothers, with a preference for either McSpirk or Spihura. Bam. I love the threesome so much that I jumped on the idea... completely missing that the person asked for a fic. ahahah.
But at least, not without hurdles, I sat down and made a manip - the first in months. Which makes the effort worthy.
A kind admin reached out to reassure me I could post it anyway, so here I am.
Notes 3: I have other pics that, in an alternate timeline in which I am productive, would be turned into Space Threesome. There might be a chance for another from the same tv show, same setting (a bed) but different shooting set - possibly different season.
But the one I irk to do the most, and I hope to make, will be an explicit bisexual threesome with pegging. Don't hold your breath though.
Notes 4: Name from a series featuring all the four flavors of Spirk (TOS, TOS Mirror, AOS and AOS Mirror) that was started in 2015. One is finished and ugly, one needs some retouches so at least two could see some light in the future.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Most of the time expensive part of manipping had been already take care of in 2015, I already had a couple of pic per actor ready to select from. Not to say the manip was easier. The original pic featured a big copyright logo that had to be removed by painstaking and precise use of cloning brush. Then it was the selection of the best faces and the irking action of actually fitting the faces. Zoe and Pine were easy, all things considered (the woman's hair had to be fixed, the man's face partially covered, shadows fixed). But then comes Zachary Fucking Quinto, the guy with the most brushy and biggest brows this side of Hollywood. The original actor held his head in a very unique position, and fit Zachary wasn't easy, especially on the neck. But then... Spock-ize Zachary *insert crying emoji here*.
The worst were the hair. I'm still not happy, but I tried the best I could.
I'm still torn on this manip. One on side I like it, on another I'm not convinced of it. But I know it's all fault of the original pic, which had bad light.

Title: Abrukhausu magazine
Author: Hakka ( prue84 )
Beta: None.
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Characters: James Kirk, Spock
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None.
Summary: In a timeline where Surak reformed the Vulcan society with the concept of dominant and submissive, and where emotional Vulcan warriors are possessive of their bondmates, Spock has to do with a mate as unhinged as James T. Kirk.
They’ve recently “tied the bond” and they’re currently the hottest topic of the Empire. And of Vulcan.
The prestigious Abrukhausu magazine wants to interview Spock and feature a photo shoot with the Vulcan heir with his illustrious new submissive.
What could possibly go wrong?
Notes: Pulled out of mothballs for January's theme at aosrenaissance on Tumblr. More at the AO3 end notes.

Title: Winter Holidays - 05 (SNW Jim)
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (new trek)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (implied)
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: PG-13
Tagline: Because the timelines might be different, but some things are simply meant to be. Aka, the one time when the photo shoot setting was the same but the Kirk is different - part V.
Series: Winter Holidays (5/6 + bonus pic)
Notes: Please bear in mind that my personal headcanon is that Discovery established a divergence and thus both Discovery and Strange New World are set in a different timeline than TOS. More about this at this post.
Notes 2: Yes, as of now these Spock and Jim don't even know each other. Do I care? No.
Notes 3: Long story. This series, as in TOS and Reboot, was done in 2015. Earlier this year I was talking with someone who happened to be a very enthusiastic and long fan of the Reboot!Jim. It's a long story and I won't talk about it more, but out of the unsettling bad episode that followed, it came a positive note: I was remembered about this series. Cut to a couple of months later, and I got struck by an idea: why not doing the new Kirk and Spock?
I ended up rushing them in December but I made it.
I took the opportunity to retouch a bit the previous four pieces, hiding the Kirk's junk with a good-placed shadow and playing a bit with a colored filter on the Spocks.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): OMG this one! The hardest part wasn't finding faces of Paul Weasley, and not even the tedious and irking, repetitive job of trying them on the bases, but pick the one combo to work on! At one point I was working with three different bases (the model original pics) and 54587 of Paul's faces. I eventually managed to get down to 4 on three different base/poses, and then had to enlist dragoneyes to help choose.
Once I decided, it was actually a matter of tinkering here and there (luckily I didn't have to start from scratch with the heads I roughly cut during the tests).
Very proud of this. The photo shoot from this (and the other two Kirks from the series) comes is small but of high quality and is a pleasure to work with.

Title: Star trek edits: AOS crew [updated]
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Main AOS
Characters: All main and recurring, plus some TOS recurring and an OC.
Number One, 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: The USS Enterprise senior crew and additional main crew at the start of the year 2261.
About the edit: This is the crew post-Into Darkness, with the addition of few characters that were never included in the Kelvin timeline but were recurring in the Original Series.
Original publishing date: August 16, 2016.
Chronology of the editings: Edit first modified in July 2020, to replace a Tumblr fancasting (Gina Torress) with Discovery/Strange New Worlds's Number One, Rebecca Romijn. To me the two shows above are closer to the Reboot than the TOS: Majel Barrett's Number One will always be the only TOS Number One, Rebecca is and will be my AOS Number One.
Edited again in December 2020 to add two additional characters that I should've never left out the last time, namely Kyle (the character played by Chris Doohan) and the relief navigator Darwin.
Just to be known, the initial reason for putting my hands on this edit again was the discovery that, according to Nichelle Nichols's autobiography, Uhura is "head of Communications", and I wanted to reflect that; contextually, I was working on another fandom in Star Trek edit in which I had more than one communications officer potentials and I needed to differentiate the "Uhura" of them and the relief/other one.
Another edit (I'm a George Lucas...) in February 2021, as I noticed that the logo for the UFP I've been using was strictly the TOS/Prime timeline one, and that in AOS it was slightly changed and the colors were switched (blue logo on white, when originally was white on blue). While I were at it, I changed the Enterprise into a composition that I will be able to keep without any change needed in other edits that will feature a constitution class but aren't the Enterprise. I also decided to add Lieutenant 0718 and Lieutenant Moto.
The edit was tweaked again here and there until officially the final version, with the lengthy characters presentations, was released on December 2021.
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 -.-).
Fixed in early April 2022 to remove the "G." as "Geoffrey" for M'Benga's second name, as Jabilo M'Benga has been canonized in a poster has his name.
Fixed again in early November 2023 because Strange New Worlds has canonized "Joseph".
Notes: Most of the non-canon (as in "non specified in the movies") bits for the main characters comes from either the Star Trek movie script, the Star Trek movie app, from the two IDW comics series or official novels, and can easily found on either Memory Alpha or Memory Beta. Rest is explained in the "addendum" post (see below).
Notes, additional: Jaylah will definitely be kidnapped by Jim and the crew offered a position on the Enterprise as soon as she's finished the Academy, although by then the mission should be ended. :(
About the "made up" roles: Liaison Officer, Computer Officer, Armory Officer and Security Chief don't exist in either canon or non-canon Star Trek and were made up by me. See more at this post.
About assignments, ranks, names and other changes: Since the post was exceeding Livejournal's limits (also, already very long textwall), these have been collected at this additional post.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I hate Paramount because they stopped to release HQ promo pics. I managed to get my hands on some decent quality Into Darkness promo pics (well, the only ones they did - the ones used for the Empire cover - thanks to the site of an Italian small editor but they were all watermarked. :()
You might recognize Mitchell, M'Benga, Chapel and Rand from manips I already released. I made a brand new Cupcake because he deserves to be there, poor Cuppy; the same for 0178 - although the quality of the latest leaves a lot to be desired. Rachel Nichols is beautiful and "Orionize" blondes is always funny.
Keenser... well, I cheated because he comes from a screencap. :D
My Silver Lady. It was much fun to make her.

Title: Winter shore leave - 03 (Reboot Jim)
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Characters: James Kirk
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (implied)
Rating: PG-13
Tagline: Again, the timelines might be different, but some things will be the same. Aka, that one time when Jim Kirk dragged his cold-blooded pet Vulcan First Officer to a cozy cabin to spend their winter shore leave and they never bothered wearing clothes during the whole time - part III.
Series: Winter shore leave (3/4)
About the manip: This blond, gorgeous-lipped little shit has plenty of good arguments to convince even the most balky Vulcan to get holed up somewhere surrounded by snow. It's just a matter of how you put your talents to use, really.
Notes: Who can resist him when he looks like this? Spock can't: it's a battle lost from the start.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I have a love/hate relationship with this specific pic. I love the pose, and the butt called for Jim (you just can't give this marvel to a Spock: it belongs to a Jim Kirk), but he was full of chest hair and I had to turn myself into an beautician because no Jim Kirk can have a chest full of hair (even if Pine has a shadow of hair on his chest, as you can see in every movie in which he's chest-naked). The quality is one of the worst of the whole photoshoot. The background included too much wall and I didn't like it so I changed it. This was the last manip of the series I set up and I wanted to use TOS!Jim's background just to be able to set the Jims together as I did for the Spocks... but it didn't satisfy me.
Finding a Pine face for this pose was a nightmare. And, what's funny, it's that I have plenty of pics with models in this same pose (face/neck speaking) in my base folders. *groan*.

Title: (Hakka & Dragoneyes's) Star Trek AUs: 6.0, Lady Gaila's dancers
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (original timeline)
Timeline: Lady Gaila's dancers (6.0)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Characters: James Kirk, Spock
Rating: PG-13
Tagline: Original AU in which Kirk and Spock (respectively, Jeremy Hudson as James Kirk and Mark Kanemura as Spock) are dancers for the Orion performer Lady Gaila.
Series: Star Trek AUs
Notes: There was a time when we were obsessed over Mark Kanemura and Jeremy Hudson (Hakka needs only to rewatch a video of them go get obsessed again, but that's another story).
While drooling on Lady Gaga's video performing live with her dancers, we decided these two were an alternative version of our own Jim and Spock.
Notes 2: Yes, this is pure crack. We're aware of it. We're not sorry.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Orion-ize Lady Gaga was fun. Vulcan-ize Mark Kanemura was easy as pie. Survive Jeremy Hudson's sexy faces while sorting through pics of him was... hard. No pun intended.

Title: The biography of James T. Kirk
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Character: James Kirk
Rating: G
Tagline: Starfleet-approved biography of its greatest captain.
Notes: This is a product of last year's Mirror Kirk and clearly inspired by the then-recently-released Kirk's Autobiography. I put this on hold because I wanted to write the content of the flaps but, since I never managed...
