00q Headcanon: Skyfall Lodge

Q thinks it’s utterly unfair that
Bond’s family estate is destroyed in what is essentially a mission to protect
M.  True, the government never ordered Bond to use it, and true, Bond
seems to think little of the loss, particularly since the property was apparently
sold during his “death” for some nominal amount. Q thinks this is not a case of
two wrongs making a right.  The lodge
should never have been sold, or destroyed.

Q finds it all vexing.  It’s a
matter of fairness.  The government should compensate Bond for the loss or
try to make things right.  But Bond can’t be bothered to file the
paperwork, either to claim the wrongfully-sold property, or to receive
compensation for the destruction of the structure.

When the new owners try to file a
claim against the government for the loss of the lodge, while simultaneously claiming
that the land is worthless without it, Q takes matters into his own hands.

this is incredible. i am completely in love with it, especially because i just know q and kincade would be best buds for so many reasons, but mostly because they both care so deeply for bond, and it has nothing to do with his profession.

@1amvengeance and i threw this together yesterday, and now you’ve inspired me to look into more q/kincade! i’m giddy! thank you for this lovely post. 

OMG @a-forger-and-a-point-man and @1amvengeance, I love that post!!  And now I’m totally moshing our headcanons!  Like, the first time they meet in person to go over old blueprints, they discover their mutual love of cardigans…yes… it all fits.  Headcanon accepted!  Nicely done!

i had a thought.  maybe it’s meta or a headcanon??? @a-forger-and-a-point-man is it? help me out define shit.

WHAT IF…kincade has had that cardigan forever.  what if it was secretly one of james’s favorites, associates it with kincade, good memories…bad memories, but of someone just being there for him.  so when Q shows up in his orangey cardigan, something in bond automatically triggers ‘trust’ and he can’t really figure out why.

oh my god. that is brilliant. excellent observation!

i don’t believe in movie coincidences when it comes to costume design. i just don’t. these things are meticulously planned. the two (new) characters bond trusts most in skyfall are q and kincade. in fact we’ve discussed this before in several posts… his immense trust in q is surprising considering a) they just met and b) bond was totally thrown by how young q looked. 

(he doesn’t really trust moneypenny yet – that comes later in spectre) 

neither q nor kincade ask questions of bond. they are willing to assist almost blindly. 

bond tells q to leave a trail for silva, potentially compromising his career at mi6. q does as he’s told. 

bond tells kincade he has arrived at skyfall to kill people who are pursuing him. kincade gets the guns ready. 

cardigans as an article of clothing suggest warmth, comfort, and tradition. while we may not associate q with tradition, his role is one of the oldest in the bond franchise. he is the provider for bond, just as kincade was many years ago. 

i found this very interesting, and similar sentiments are expressed in several other sources:

here’s the orange spectrum:

and here’s a reminder of q’s cardigan:

OMG I  love this!

00q aesthetic – 

“What’s it like?  To be a couple?”  Moneypenny couldn’t help but ask.  “To tame the great James Bond.

Q would snort and James would smile.

“I think you’re asking the wrong question Ms. Moneypenny.  Have you ever tried to ensnare a Quartermaster?  They’re rare creatures, only one of them in the world.”

“You two.” Q grumbled.

Moneypenny pinched both of their cheeks.  “Worlds Greatest Power Couple.  The world at your feet.”

Zachary Quinto as Spock

Sure! AOS S’chn T’Gai Spock

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life
hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang || I WOULD MARRY HIM 
hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff
best quality: I think his best quality is his adoration and devotion to his friends and who he considers his family. Vulcans are not supposed to show such emotions and yet he breaks the rules time and time again to show his love and care.
worst quality: This is more of a problem I’ve had with the reboots themselves, but honestly being over-emotional when it doesn’t matter. Spock in the original series only had sparse moments with emotion when it truly did matter. In the reboots, Spock has emotional breakdowns when original Spock succeeded in using a calm head/logic to save the day or his crew.
ship them with: JAMES T KIRK LEMME JUST TELL YOU AJSKSJDK (I’m not much of a reboot Spones, but I do appreciate them.)
brotp them with: Uhura. I don’t ship them or like them together, because I think it takes away from who Spock is and was as a character originally. But I adore, and always have adored his friendship with her. 
needs to stay away from: Nero™ and Blueberrydick Crumblebitch, also Leonard Horatio McCoy after Spock wins an argument
misc. thoughts: I really love Zachary Quinto. With all my heart. And I love how Leonard Nimoy adored him. So I love seeing him play Spock, even with the parts I don’t agree with. He’s soft, cute, and really grasps the love Spock holds for both Jim and McCoy. I don’t think anyone else could have done it better in the reboots. But still, Leonard’s Spock will always be my Spock.

send me a character and i’ll answer the following about them
