the rough childhood trio with their childhood pets. (each of these gets a couple sentences of variably cryptic context-- all up for interpretation, of course. in my head these are all bittersweet ^^)
Tumblr media
i-chaya wasn't supposed to be at school, technically, but amanda had a talk with the teachers, and they concluded that it was logical to allow i-chaya to continue to accompany spock to school, when his performance showed such marked improvement when she was around.
sometimes, during intervals between lessons, which were always timed precisely for optimal development of social skills, spock would sit cross-legged in a corner of the schoolyard, and i-chaya would sink down onto the red sand beside him and nudge at his cheek with her damp nose, and spock would reach up into her coarse, thick coat and press his forehead into the safety of her fur until the stinging remarks of the other children would melt and fall away in the harsh vulcan sun.
Tumblr media
"he's up there in the stars, jamie. whenever you feel like you're on your own, just look up at the night sky and count the stars. he would've been so proud of you."
james tiberius kirk read, once, that pigs were unable to look up at the sky. from then on, he made sure to prop all of the pigs on the farm up every so often, so that they could look at the stars with him. for his birthday, his mother knit him two matching sweaters with stars on the chest-- one for him, and the other for wilbur (the grandpiglet of the sow she tripped over a decade ago).
Tumblr media
bones was raised, essentially, by the large, calico barncat who lived on the mccoys' farm. she had not been named, and she wouldn't let anyone else touch her-- only bones.
when he was a baby, she curled up beside him in his crib with her tail around his ankle to stop him from crawling out and hurting himself.
when he got older, on difficult days, she would grab him by the sock and drag him to the old rocking chair in the attic and curl up on his lap and bite at his fingers until he could bring himself to pet her, and then she would purr and purr as he stroked through her warm, soft fur and rocked himself better in the big rocking chair. if anyone tried to drag bones away, she would hiss and yowl and bat vehemently at the intruding hands until he could be left alone.

Being Betazoid and meeting Data for the first time would include:
Tumblr media
•frankly, utter bewilderment! There are of course, species that are immune to your natural ability, but eventually you in those moments you sense a living presence…with Data: nothing.
•you circle him a little bit like you’re checking him out, which makes Deanna chuckle, she’d had much the same reaction.
•Data himself doesn’t mind unduly. He stands still for you to make your observations. You see, he is also making observations, he’s spoken at length to Deanna about his desire to draw comparisons and research the differences between a half Betazoid and a full one. He’s read several hundred textbooks on the subject!
•you sit down in front of him, perplexed but grinning. ‘I think, Mr Data, we’re going to be friends you and I. You might be the only being in existence who could ever sneak up on me.’ You noticed his head tilt for the first time as he started to speak ‘I do have the ability to be stealthy and approach silently’ he confirmed. Deanna chuckled and then turned her attention back to you.
•she gasped to herself and smiled broadly. She didn’t need to be an empath to see that you were quite clearly smitten. With your legs swinging, smile sparkling; attention solely on Data, you were displaying clear signs of adoration. She quietly crept away, leaving you and Data to get to know each other.

Creole food becomes popular on Bajor after Sisko leaves to be with the The Prophets because of its connection with him, and they even innovate on it with local Bajoran ingredients.
Sisko’s Creole Kitchen in New Orleans becomes an occasional pilgrimage site for Bajorans who want to see the place that The Emissary was raised. Joseph is generally unfazed by this and doesn’t change the restaurant for the new visitors, but he does sometimes tell stories of Ben’s childhood if they’re really polite.

Universal translator headcanons:
Spock speaks English perfectly and is not using the translator, not even when he doesn't recognise a word. He insists on learning it old school style. When he uses a translator he tries to learn the words as best he can for future reference and now has a strange hodge podge of vocab across various languages
Uhura uses the translator to speak, but she does so to practice speaking a different language every day. It's translated into English but she could be speaking Estonian or Andorian. She's happy using the translator cos she basically built it
Chekhov didn't realise you could use the translator at work and is pissed off to discover he's been struggling through conversations that could've just been translated by tech for him. Scotty even says it can keep your accent as a sort of respected identity feature!
Scotty is speaking English but he uses the translator purely to give himself a thicker-than-actual Scottish accent. If you subscribe to the Scotty is Canadian and stuck doing the accent after a bad joke theory, this fits. If you think he's Scottish, this is just him keeping that front and centre
McCoy uses the translator less than you'd think, he's conversational in a handful of common languages like Cantonese, French, and Denobulan. He's learning Vulcan but it's not clicking for him, perhaps because he hasn't told Spock he's trying to learn so isn't practicing as much as he should
Kirk uses the translator when he needs to without worrying about it. His area of expertise isn't languages and he's happy to rely on his crew to supply that if the translator goes down. He does, however, know just about every greeting phrase there is across the galaxy just in casies
Sulu can really only speak english, but when he's talking to someone from home he uses a translator to another language to maintain some privacy. His family are used to having to translate his video messages back into English
Chapel uses the translator when needed, but will always try to have a conversation in English first. She's possibly the most normal about the translator tbh
Rand will invariably try to communicate via mime or grunts or anything else before pulling out the translator. She thinks it sanitises conversations and obfuscates tone. But she will resort to it when needed, reluctantly

cg!Captain Kirk Headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💫 .. would let you sit on his lap in the captain's chair. he'd let you nap or explain everything he's doing to you in child-friendly terms
💫 .. would hold your hand walking around the ship
💫 .. wouldn't take you on missions when regressed because he wants to protect you, but gives you a detailed mission report - full of playful exaggerations and silly voices to make you laugh and gasp
💫 .. plays tag with you around the ship
💫 .. tries to teach you Tri-D chess and has SO MUCH patience (might even let you win, but it's more likely he'll use it to teach you a lesson in graceful losing)
💫 .. huge on petnames like kiddo, buddy, chum and darling
💫 .. comforts you after nightmares with cuddles and softly caressing your face until you fall asleep again
💫 .. would cut your food into fun shapes, mostly stars, hearts and little smiley faces

Accidental Kisses! || TNG Star Trek x Male!Reader
William Riker
You stumbled down the stairs while he was walking up, Willaim lunged to catch you, which knocked your lips together.
"Oh- are you alright, Lieutenant? You took quite a tumble."
You apologize for stumbling into him and kissing him, to which he smiles and waves it off as an accident. After all, there was no harm in it!
Afterwards, he absentmindedly licks his lips and tastes your chapstick, reminding him of the encounter. His cheeks tinge pink- hopefully his feelings still remain a secret
Worf
As Worf's assistant and Assistant Chief of Security, Worf expected you to be in peak physical condition- this kiss happens while sparring- he tackled you to the ground, and in the struggle, you two share a rough kiss.
Worf pins you down by the neck and arms, which effectively left you prone. He mumbles "That better have been an accident." You nod frantically and he releases you.
Apologized for getting too rough with you- blaming it on reflex more than actual aggression. You apologize for the kiss, which still haunts his sweetest dreams to this day.
Data
You had no idea what the fuck happened. Suddenly, you were saying "hi" to Data in the rec room, then his hands were on your cheeks as he kissed you with a mountain of electricity tingling behind his lips.
"What? the hell?" You manage to sputter out, Data seemed confused.
"Apologies if I startled you. I was giving you an authentic European greeting from Earth. Did you feel appropriately greeted and our relationship assured?"
"Data- I- first of all, not all of Europe kisses to greet, NEXT OF ALL, THEY KISS THE CHEEKS!"
Geordi La Forge
It was a moment of excitement shared between you two- a project you both had spent countless nights on performed without a hitch in front of the investors. After the meeting, you two were so excited and hugging- it just sorta... happened.
"Oh- oh my god- I'm so sorry." Geordi apologized quickly as he recoiled away from the hug. "It was an accident."
"Yeah- we were just excited, totally an accident on both ends." You respond just as quickly as your cheeks burn up.
Q
Alright, this kiss isn't an accident. He's pissing you off by bothing you during your work, begging for you to entertain him. He wants a human experience! He already looks like one in this form! Do something human!
So, you punched him in the gut, then kiss him roughly- tongue invaded his mouth in a way that made his eyes roll back into his skull at the feeling of being properly paid attention to- even more than expected!
Q finally shut up for a good while as he behaved himself- at the promise of more of those. So, he sat down next to your station and waited patiently for you to be done with our work- then he kissed you!
His kiss was- well, it was Q, what did you expect?

Befriending Spock Headcanons
My first Star Trek content! Spock is my favorite character by far and I feel like he needs some love. A lot of my Star Trek content will be romantic, but I feel like especially with Spock, it's necessary to explore the first steps of just becoming friends, because it's harder to break down his walls and he's not one to just act on attraction at first sight.
Warnings: none
Word count: 1.1 k
- People have very different, often very polarizing opinions on Commander Spock. You'd heard more than enough stories about how cold, calculating, unforgiving, and inhuman he was. 
- But when you met him, all you could think was that he was so cool.
- He was incredibly intelligent, capable of making smart and informed decisions regarding basically any situation that affected the ship in minutes, and always acted with absolute certainty. Despite that, he did not want a command of his own and readily accepted his own mistakes, readjusting accordingly. What was there not to admire?
- You tried your best to be friendly, but you knew it was a long shot. Not only was he a Vulcan, he was your commanding officer. You weren't sure how he regarded any sort of personal relationship, really.
- Still, you found yourself engaging him in light conversation in the halls, the mess hall, or the lift. You broke it off quickly if it didn't seem like he wanted to talk, which surprisingly was very infrequent. If you got him talking about science, or the history and philosophy of Vulcan, it was quite easy to get him to talk.
- Spock is... I'm not sure how he would describe it, but I suppose, pleasantly surprised to find someone that not only tolerates his discussion of such topics, but actively pursues them.
- Whether you know it or not, you've chosen the most effective method of breaking the ice.
- Spock encourages this by consulting you on data that is outside of the normal scope of your duties as often as possible. He enjoys being challenged, and surmises that you must, as well. You have a natural curiosity and a scientific mind, one that with proper training could even attain his level of authority in time. These discussions don't feel like replacement training sessions so much as informal academic chatter, though.
- Spock starts to show that he considers you a friend through verbal encouragement first. It's often very dry and hard to detect, but it's there.
- He once corrected you regarding a postulation you'd made when analyzing some data that was adjacent to your field. You said, "Oh, right, that makes more sense. Sorry, I'm a little stupid sometimes," out of habit, something that you knew you should probably grow out of.
- He looked at you, perplexed. "Ensign, you should not insult yourself for being unaware of a highly specialized piece of information that allowed me to see the facts in this particular light. Every scientist, no matter how intelligent, has their blind spots."
- You smiled at his encouragement before raising your eyebrow in doubt. "Even you?"
- Spock hesitated for a moment before considering his ineptitude in handling his friendship with his captain and now, it appeared, you as well. "Of course."
- You didn't believe him, but thought it was sweet of him to say so. "Thanks, Commander."
- "You may call me Mr. Spock, or Spock, if you prefer."
- "Sure thing, Mr. Spock."
- The Mr. gets dropped shortly after.
- Every smile you manage to get out of him is an absolute treasure, as it is very rare. Something tells me that the first smile he gives you would be in a situation in which you are distressed and he is trying to reassure you, perhaps he sustained a nasty injury and you are very concerned. The smile is fleeting and feels a little unnatural, but the effort he put into it was enough to convince you that he would recover. little did you know there was little effort expended--seeing your care for him, it was almost irresistible.
- Every smile you give him is treasured by him, though they are so much more frequent. It is true that humans smile with so little provocation, but it's still nice to know sometimes that he's the reason and not the butt of some joke (looking at you, Kirk and Bones)
- There are two facts about Vulcans that are very relevant to this situation: 1) Vulcans are touch telepaths, meaning that touch is very, incredibly personal and reserved for special situations (except for Sarek and Amanda cuz they're whores), and 2) Vulcans are, in fact, very emotional people.
- Keeping these facts in mind, there must be some way for Spock to express his feelings of appreciation and camaraderie for you, and it cannot be in the average human manner (handshakes, pats on the back, high fives)
- So instead, he takes a more vested interest in your wellbeing, asking if you've eaten, drank water, slept, etc. especially when you've come back from an away mission and are busy analyzing new data.
- You often seem to find each other following each of the Enterprise's adventures. These are often time-sensitive and life-threatening, and as a low-ranking science officer, often your only orders are to stay put and protect yourself. 
- The first time or two after you've become friends, you try to hide how shaken you are--you know you're fine, really. You just can't help that your reaction to coming down off the adrenaline high is to literally shake and sometimes cry a bit.
- However, Spock sees through what you're trying to do and reassures you that you are safe. "I know."
- "I intended to convey that you are safe to express any emotions you may currently be experiencing."
- Oh.
- You usually end up sitting with Spock somewhere, your quarters, your lab, the mess hall, the holodeck, shaking and crying before recovering after a bit. The emotional expression always makes Spock a bit uncomfortable--not because he's disgusted by it, but because he doesn't have/doesn't feel comfortable expressing the skills or the emotional intelligence needed to interact with them. 
- His simply being there is enough. You recover in 15 minutes or so and can carry on as before.
- "Have you considered consulting Dr. McCoy regarding the management of your anxiety surrounding these events? They seem to cause you a high degree of stress."
- You shrugged. "It's just my body's response, it doesn't bother me," you reassured him. "Besides, I've got you."
- The feeling of being needed in a way not associated with his intelligence or his duty was unexpectedly welcome.
- In time, he comes to take a more active role, bringing you food and water while you're working or offering to make a bit of progress on your work while you take a short rest--Vulcans don't require as much sleep as humans, after all.
- After a while of this, you mention to him that you feel that you could be a more proactive friend, when he takes so much time and effort to look out for you, and ask him what you could do.
- He looks at you, perplexed. "Your presence in my life is quite sufficient," he assures you. "Your companionship proves to be a gratifying part of my daily routine in any measure."
- He has no idea how sweet he can be.

It is very much a headcanon, but I would love it if Robert April, who was commander of the Enterprise during 2246, would be the Captain that came to Tarsus IV after the massacre. There's something about Jim seeing the Enterprise come out of the sky, after all that monstrosity and despair, and feeling hope for the first time in months that just appeals to me.
Jim who is a master of survivor's guilt, seeking to be that person for who comes and saves the day, and maybe becoming someone who can arrive before it's too late. Saving not only other people, but little parts of himself.

Oh may I please request some romantic headcanons with Spock and Soval?
Romantic ENT Soval HCs:
A/N: I haven't done a lot of Enterprise stuff so I figured I would just stick with that since I'm running out of ideas for Spock rn.
Tumblr media
He struggles to show you "emotional" gestures of affection.
He prefers to show his love in quieter softer ways.
Sometimes he will present you with flowers, each arrangement proclaiming a deeper vibrant message.
Other times he displays his affection by "indulging" in your earthly pleasures; food, entertainment, etc.
He enjoys Jane Austin Novels. You let him borrow one of your copies and he was fascinated by it.
On the rare occasion, he does perform public displays of affection, he will either offer you an ozh'esta or hold your hand. It is easy to hide under long sleeves.
When you wear traditional or popular Vulcan clothing he has to work twice as hard to contain himself.
He does like to indulge in Earth's pleasures but he's a mess when you embrace his.
During meditations, he will allow you to spend time near him as long as you are silent.
It is difficult when you tempt him away from his practices.
He is such a sugar daddy.
If the two of you are going to an important event together he will have you dressed in nothing except the finest.
He insists it's to make sure you both make a good impression.
But he in reality just likes to show off his cute human (husband/wife/partner) to make other diplomats jealous.
He may not indulge his other emotions externally but that doesn't mean he doesn't indulge his pride.
And you are his absolute pride.

dont imagine a transporter malfunction where spock suddenly has curly/wavy hair. dont imagine bones giggling and kirk looking at him in even gayer ways than he already does. dont imagine spock struggling to manage the upkeep, talking about how illogical it is, while kirk eyes his messy curls from afar. dont imagine spock running his hands through his hair in an attempt to dismay that one rebellious curl that bounces when he speaks. dont imagine how spock comes to notice a 1.04 second differential in how long kirk used to look at him before and after. dont imagine how scotty finds a way to reverse the changes and kirk not knowing how to express that He really likes the way it looks on him. dont imagine

Thinking about how most marriages on Vulcan are probably arranged so chances are Spock has no idea how to court someone and can’t tell when he’s being courted, which just leads to Spock and Jim dramatically screwing up their attempts to woo each other as the rest of the senior officers bang their heads against their stations.

once again this is the funniest if you think of it as pre-mcspirk spirk and bones. you're james tiberius kirk, captain of the starship enterprise, and your best friend breaks into your quarters after a long shift and passes out on your couch. your first officer boyfriend also breaks into your quarters after his shift and discovers your best friend passed out dead to the world on your couch and deems it most logical to take off his shirt and take your own shirt (worn) off its rack and drape it over your best friend's sleeping form because leonard's forehead was insufficiently warm and humans obtain the best quality of sleep when sufficiently warm and surrounded by familiar scents.
you get off shift and discover your quarters have been doubly broken into and you think this is the absolute highlight of your day. you tiptoe painstakingly to the couch just to kiss your best friend on the forehead and then go and kiss your boyfriend hello. (in six months' time it will hit you for the first serious time that perhaps both of them are your boyfriend and best friend. what a revelation!) both you and your boyfriend do not realise that he has started referring to your best friend as "ours".
...
even though it's not overtly shown in the scribble it is absolutely inundated with this prompt in my heart (and the word dump) so i'm just going to go ahead and say this is a prompt fill for @mcspirkevents' mcspirk bingo prompt "denial" ^^

Deanna discovering your affair with Picard includes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•Deanna’s suspicions about the Captain have been aroused for several weeks now, somehow he’s more tense and secretive, while also being more relaxed and stress-free. It’s gotten to a point where she’s slightly questioning her own sanity.
•so she turned to Will and Beverley. They observe Picard and come to the conclusion that he does seem to be smiling more. At regular intervals he’ll smile to himself, run his upper lip and then tap away on a PADD for a few minutes before putting it down again and assuming his usual stoic persona. Will sees this and suggests that Picard has a new ‘lady friend’ that he might be messaging.
•Deanna goes full PI (Private Investigator) and starts to discretely follow the Captain- stating that she needs to ensure the ‘safety’ of the Captain- meaning her curiosity wouldn’t let her rest! His routines for the most part remain unchanged…apart from he’s started to check in with the Stellar Cartography department (where you work as Chief) more frequently.
•Deanna watches as the usually nimble and graceful Captain seems to become a bit clumsy and short-sighted as he slowly, seemingly begrudgingly, exits from the work space as he’s summoned elsewhere. He very nearly walks into the wall- his embarrassment hits Deanna like a brick even from her hiding spot some meters away. As the doors quietly hiss close, Deanna just catches a glimpse of your flushed cheeks as you gently bite your lower lip.
•Deanna makes a point of reading up on your file. The more she reads; the more she smiles and her excitement grows. You’re perfect! A challenge for sure, but for Picard…absolutely perfect!
•Deanna’s suspicions are confirmed when you’re summoned to the Captain’s Ready Room one shift to discuss the implementation of a system’s upgrade and the forecast improvements to scanner range etc. it’s a small buzzing feeling at first, Deanna can sense that Picard is pacing in his Ready Room, slightly fizzing with what she perceives as anxiety. But then you walk through the door and…Deanna is awash with sheer delight. She can’t help but grin. The sensation of pleasure and happiness that emanate from you and Picard is enough to have a physical bodily reaction in her.
•she rushes straight to find Will and tell him what she knows…this is about to become THE worst kept secret on the Enterprise.

Hey, howdy there, friends! I come bearing Star Trek Headcanons that no one asked for!! Kirk Brothers Nicknames Edition!!
Sam used to publicly go by the name George. Jim was the only one that called him 'Sam' for a long time, until Sam started college and decided that it was easier to just use the name 'Sam' than explain why his brother called him that all the time.
Sam actually didn't like Jim not using his first name when they were young, and to try and annoy him into stopping, started calling Jim 'Tib'. (The first three letters of Tiberious. Which is Jim's middle name.)
Jim actually didn't mind Sam calling him 'Tib' all that much. And sometimes, in moments of endearment, Sam still uses it.
Growing up, Jim had more nicknames than Sam did. (Which is why 'Sam' seemed to stick more.)
A short list of Jim's childhood nicknames includes: Jim, Jimmy, Tib, Timber, J.T., Mocking Bird, Hot Shot, Timberious, Tim, Jam, Jiminy, and Cricket.
