makes me a little sad when star trek ignores IDIC. like. vulcans are logical. that is true. But 'logical', for vulcans, does not amount to 'without compassion,' and it definitely doesn't amount to 'racial superiority.' Belief in 'infinite diversity in infinite combinations' should NOT result in the weird racist/speciest stuff we're getting in some of the newer treks. It does make sense that some vulcans are discriminatory. They're still flawed. But that should not be common or expected, like it seems to be in SNW. If it is, then it's a race of hypocrites, which. doesn't seem very true to Star Trek's message.

I think TOS Spock does a pretty good job of embodying this. Not always, it was the 60s, after all, but mostly. He was often trying to find non-violent routes, and get by without killing - even if they were in danger or had already been attacked. (See: the mugato, and the horta (until Kirk was the one in danger, lmao. t'hy'la > IDIC), the Gorn ship). Kirk, in his eulogy, calls him the most human soul he's ever known, and I've always read that as Kirk calling out Spock's overwhelming compassion.

It's just so much more interesting when Vulcans get to be radically compassionate. I want them to believe that everything and everyone has value. I want them to respect all ways of being. I want them to find ways for even very non-humanoid aliens to exist unfettered in society. I want them to see hybrids and think that it's amazing. Also, like, disability rep. I want Vulcans to have The Most Accessible Planet and available resources because they want everyone to feel accepted and valued. It makes for better characters and more interesting stories.

i love how vulcans conveniently all decided to ignore the fact that annoyance is also an emotion

[hollis-art]

this was made to celebrate first contact day but im realizing if i just put "happy first contact day!" in the caption it's gonna sound like im celebrating these two for doing whatever this is instead

without first contact day this would never happen though, so my point still stands!! happy first contact day everyone!!!

can't get lasik surgery with an extra eyelid.........

[starofhisheart]

why did Jim react like that sksksks just Jim staring at Spock like he's planning their wedding pls

Spock: my mother thought she was a very fortunate earth woman to be married to my vulcan father

Jim: as am I

Spock: what

Bones: what

Jim: *heart eyes*

[teacup-gathering-itself]

The depth of Kirk being a big himbo in his slut era all the time in a very overt human way, while also being a huge nerd brainiac supercomputer on legs.

Contrasting Spock, who is a supercomputer on legs, but ALSO a big himbo in his slut era in a very overt Vulcan way.

Proof: He is so TOUCHY with his captain. He lets touch be a staple in their relationship and just. Doesn’t mention its significance to his culture. Lets people think it’s just him “putting up with” his captain. To non-Vulcans, sure that excuse works. But any Vulcan with working eyes knows what he’s up to. They’re silently scandalized.

Sarek absolutely cannot resist making a dramatic entrance, he is such a diva

[trek-tracks]

Thinking about how, in The Tholian Web, Spock shows that he respects and understands McCoy by approaching him on a human level and calling him “Bones” (like Jim would do)

...and then McCoy shows he respects and understands Spock by granting him his dignity despite the emotional weight of the situation and calling him “Captain” (like Jim would do)

...and then both of them team up to charmingly bald-faced lie to Kirk to convince him that they never had time to watch his last orders, so they couldn't possibly have taken his advice...

(like Jim would do)

[labgrownfemcel]

Ok since vulcans have mating seasons (their pon farr) it means they have estrous cycles and not menstrual cycles which means that they don't have menses.

Imagine a vulcan learning for the first time that human women bleed from their vaginas for a week every month.

Just trying their best to master their emotions and be all calm, like "what a fascinating yet odd physiological phenomenon"

While inside they're like "what the fuck? What the fuck??? what the FUCK!? WHAT! THE! ACTUAL! FUCK! IS! WRONG! WITH! HUMANS!?!?"

Meanwhile a klingon would be like "BLEEDING IS THE SIGN OF A TRUE WARRIOR! THIS IS GLORIOUS!!"

[bumblingbabooshka]

Society if in TOS we had Doctor Mccoy who was an expert in Human Medicine and the Human Heart contrasted with Doctor M'Benga who was an expert in Alien (Specifically Vulcan) Medicine and the Vulcan Heart and they often clashed/collaborated on how to treat Spock whenever he was injured or acting strange....medicine in space...the down home doctor vs the extraterrestrial physician. How to be humane to the non-Human. Spock's struggle between Human and Vulcan made real, made flesh, made immediate, on the surgeon's table.

Got into a minor accident so, to cope, I drew Spock holding my sona like that one painting of Jesus cradling a lamb

[nb-n0v4]

I know I'm like 80 years late to the meme but I finally remembered I wanted to draw this kjsdf

[dykespirk]

spock’s dedication to lying, just for the love of the game, is so beautiful to me…we don’t see real liargirls like that anymore…
