A slightly more suggestive post than my usual (albeit it just in a silly way) so I will politely ask for all comments and engagements to be normal and preferably not from younger folks please

ANYWAY any of you guys seen the movie Ghost (1990)?? Remember that one part??? Aha yeah :^]

Someone on Blue-sky suggested that it should cut showing them rolling a cigarette instead of pottery; which was just too funny NOT too add. So I included It as a bonus sketch on the side

Im sorry but i have to talk about how the FIRST shot we see of kirk is him gently touching a flower

His softness is so important to his character that we are meant to instantly recognize that this is him. THIS is is his establishing shot in this short and i think thats so important

a little silleyyy i concocted as i have come up with a bäckahäst relative, the "bäckabock" - or sea-ram, sea-goat, etc. i will write a bit about them and this guy below..

despite their name and appearence, the sea-goats are not goats at all but are a relative of the bäckahäst, and thus a cervid. unlike their much larger brethren, sea-goats are adapted to a more aquatic lifestyle, in that they have a better swimming ability (the bäckahäst, while good swimmers, tend to wade more often due to their size, and only really spend long in deeper water during winter). their hair has convergently evolved a structure similar to otters, and thus insulate themselves underwater through air that gets trapped in it.

their diet consists mostly of fish and shellfish, they especially favour clams, and unlike the bäckahäst does not hunt terrestrial prey much (although it does happen, especially during the winter). culturally, bäckahästar and sea-goats intermingle a decent amount, and historically they actually have gotten along well probably stemming from the fact that they prefer different territories anyway, and hunt different prey for the most part - although this varies of course depending on the culture in question, and human-caused habitat loss also plays a big role.

this guy in particular, gaerneh, is a stone-smith, which is a common occupation among both bäckahästar and sea-rams. both species have the peculiar tendency to swallow stones - their stomach has adapted a "crop" like organ where such stones are stored. the use of this is to control buoyancy in the water and they often swallow/regurgitate stones depending on the situation. Anyway stone-smiths will shape stones to be optimal for swallowing, and there are also folk beliefs among many cultures about what kind of stones are best, or what "blessing" they may bring oneself - like "this kind of stone beckons a bountiful hunt" for example.

stone-smiths sometimes stay among their own, and focus on smithing stones adapted best for their species. but a few try to learn how to smith for both - gaerneh is one of those!

i think william shatner will be going back and forth between so anti spirk to the point of actual homophobia and so pro spirk it almost seems like he was in love with nimoy until the day he dies. and maybe even longer.

I actually do wish Spirk was canon, but I want it to be entirely off-screen and just mentioned by other characters as a matter of fact. Like 'hey, did you know Starfleet only ever made one exception to their fraternization policy, and that was to allow Spock to serve under Kirk when they got married?' Or maybe there's a planet that's populated by Vulcan-Terran hybrids and everyone knows that it was founded by those two because the conditions were good for both species. No, Kirk wasn't the youngest captain in Starfleet, the record was actually beaten by his daughter Saavik two decades later. People say she struggled to live up to her parents' fame, poor thing. A hundred years later Kirk and Spock's messages to each other are published in two tomes. The High Council deems them so inappropriate that they're banned on Vulcan, et cetera.

Any depiction of Spirk on screen would be inherently disappointing because it's straight up impossible to live up to sixty years of fan-made content. The only way to make it good is to incorporate it into the lore and arouse even MORE speculation and fan-made content.

Feel free to disagree, though...if you could make Spirk canon, how would you do it?
