Il Discouri (Ipso Facto)

YOU GUYS.

In The Pale Moonlight.

YOU GUYS.

Nero is right. I mean, he doesn't know it, and wouldn't care if he did know it, because He So Craaazee, but. Still. In canon, even in shitty!Bermaga canon.

He doesn't know, because he can't know, but Spock knows, he must know, in order to know what else he knows, so unless he's dead by then (I have not checked my strictest canon) then he is actually lying about stuff--maybe not "Oh hey, us Vulcans are gonna slay you now kthxbye" but he is keeping quite a few other Fed cards tucked up in that bland grey vest.

...It will be war, Praetor. War is always glorious.

I. I don't. What is this I can't even.

It's possible I squeaked.

Thank you, Deep Space Nine. <3

I can't believe I just typed that whut. Lulz.

Yes, it's stupid how happy I am, and no, I don't care. XD

OKAY OKAY. I shall condense a lot of semi-watchable television and Romulan prejudice for you.

Basically, there's a war on in outer space. Starfleet and the Klingons are the Goodguy Team. Romulans are...technically on no one's team. The Dominion are the Badguy Team.

Romulans and Team Badguy have a "you leave us alone, we leave you alone" stance. Team Badguy kicks THE SHIT out of Team Goodguy.

So Team Goodguy concocts evidence that Badguys want to take over Romulus.

And Disposable Romulan Agent figures this out, but is assassinated before he can get home and prove it. So the Romulans assume it's all the work of Team Badguy and JOIN TEAM GOODGUY for great justice.

Now, jump ahead to Countdown: Romulus (planet) is about to get blown the fuck up by a supernova. Spock knows this. Romulans scoff at him, convinced it is a Goodguy plot.

My big point is, THEY TOTALLY HAVE A REASON TO THINK THAT.

Because there is a Goodguy plot that got the Romulans ONTO Team Goodguy in the first place.

So when Nero freaks out in Countdown about how "BBQZ Team Goodguy arrived too late to help us ON PURPOSE and now want to CONQUER THE SURVIVORS *moutfoam flail spaz*"

...He actually looks a lot less crazy all of a sudden.

I mean, he's still a nutjob, and he still does Bad Things, but THIS is the background!motive that is missing from the character onscreen, and also a giant chunk of Romulan psychology, which makes the Jheti a happy squeaky bunny. ^____^

I see your licky face and smile fetchingly at it. *Gleam.* <3
