Quick star trek illustration because I thought about the third movie again- delicious angst 9/10 (minus one for the unnecessary cringey pon farr scene, come on man he was 8 like two hours ago)

I love the AOS versions of Kirk and Spock especially. Not only because they’re just both so catty and downright bitchy towards each other and that’s a funny dynamic, or just because I love the casting choices. Not just because I love watching characters who start as near complete opposites and almost enemies (one driven purely by what seems to be instinct/emotion, the other by what seems to be logic) develop deep respect and love for each other. Mainly, I love their AOS characterizations because they are both so deeply flawed when you get down to it, and it adds a whole layer of depth and complexity to them that other versions of them seem to sometimes lack.

AOS Kirk is a complete product of trauma. And yes, he’s incredibly intelligent to start with. But at the end of the day, his charming and deeply caring personality, his recklessness and disregard for his own safety over that of others, his ability to instinctually know things are going to happen before they happen based on very little logic or evidence to support his “hunch”, his skills to calmly and effectively navigate crisis scenarios, and his general lack of respect for and aversion to (most) authority figures is all birthed of trauma. When you go through the type of shit he went through as a child, it literally rewires your brain and how you process things, and how you notice things. And that makes him a great Captain yes, but he also has very obvious (probably a list of honestly) anxiety disorders, and as such is hyper vigilant and unable to cope with periods of down time (at least, at the start).

And then there’s AOS Spock. He tries his best to be a perfect visage of calm cool and collected, seemingly completely driven by logic, but he’s actually just constantly masking. But then Kirk comes along and is this wholly illogical thing who some how always ends up being right in his predictions (that, to Spock, seemingly are improbable and nearly fantastical, and almost always driven by emotion rather than evidence) and it effortlessly derails Spock’s entire visage of calm and emotional neutrality. He literally has an on-screen meltdown in the 2009 movie when Kirk provokes him after meeting Prime Spock. And at the end of the day, AOS Spock is an overwhelmingly emotional individual who has practically been told since childhood by his society that is unacceptable and wrong. But it doesn’t change the fact that he is, so he just finds ways to bury that side of him and mask it (successfully, even). At least he does until Kirk comes along and Spock hates him automatically, because well, Kirk is a mirror image of Spock, it’s just that the reflection is of his highly emotional side that he tries with great effort to hide, and it’s staring back at him with bright blue eyes and completely unavoidable.

I know we all talk about Spirk in Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock but Voyage Home has some of my personal favorite scenes between the two of them.

I love their argument over Italian food, Kirk trying to get Spock to stop swearing, Kirk trying to get Spock to call him by first name again, and I especially love the scene where McCoy goes "He trusts your guess more than most people's facts".

Spock Fanzine | Robert Jan, 1984

[hayzeydayzey]

beautiful vulcan princess

[schn-tgai-saavik]

The real reason Saavik stayed on Vulcan with Amanda at the start of The Voyage Home is that in 1986 San Francisco, with her curly mullet, she would have been way too beautiful, it would have been a massive distraction while they needed to be unnoticed-

Just imagine her with a little bandana to hide her ears in the streets, people would have been asking for her number left and right.

"What number are they referring to Admiral , my Starfleet ID?"

"I'll explain later Savvy..."

[snek-of-eden]

okay, this is as plain and simple as I can make it for a wider view of which way tumblr sways. going off ANY criteria:

TOS = The Original Series

AOS = Alternate Original Series or The Kelvin Timeline

please reblog for a bigger audience :)
