it's so important to me that ppl don't forget that McCoy never attended Starfleet Academy in TOS.....seeing references to him at Starfleet Academy does in fact set my back teeth on edge tbh.......it's soooo important to me that he was a civilian all through his schooling, and imo it helps inform so much of why he is the way that he is.....this is a huge pet peeve of mine tbh, truly does make me wince, I'd almost rather you give him brown eyes than say he went to the Academy lmao

I made some reference sheets for Kirk and Spock inspired by the KCD2 ones by @serevarin bc they've been super useful and I thought Id share bc maybe someone else finds these useful too.

This is some pretty insane fandom crossover but whatever. LLAP everyone.

Fuck it, baby Spock

He's just a little guy

Have I thought about making a comic just about him as a small child because that's objectively funny? Yes. Will I make it? No.

A reminder that Gene Roddenberry's intent of Star Trek was that it was always meant to be a commentary of modern society.

@decorativestatuary posted this in a Star Trek group and I was sad we couldn’t reblog so here it is :)

I never got how past TOS every Star Trek writer seems to treat the Prime Directive as some sort of sacred edict rather than the anti imperialist screed it actually is. TOS was made in the Cold War where Russia, the USA, and other countries were basically playing tug of war with smaller countries to their detriment, so writer Gene L. Coon came up with the idea that Starfleet should not do that, that civilizations should be allowed to develop on their own without being used as catspaws by more powerful entities.

The problem is that somewhere along the line this got lost and it turned into “these people are all going to die but saving them would violate the Prime Directive”. Like yeah you should save people from dying, just don’t do it in a way that makes them your client state!

From the TOS episode Elaan of Troius (discarded scene, of course, unfortunately).

The Spock and Uhura friendship needed more screentime, if you ask me

How pretty is the Vulcan lyre?

Man I know that elder scrolls is a stupid series and all that but I really think they did concepts like orcs and dark elves mostly correct. More correct than a lot of franchises I’ve seen anyways.
