I'm just saying, if Gene Roddenberry didn't want us to think his universe was so gay, there's a LOT of things he could've written very differently

Family

Tip: If you don't like a pairing...

don't write fanfics about that pairing

don't put that pairing in the tags (related to the above point)

don't post hateful commentary on that pairing in the comments section.

Snuggly Star Trek things because I'm feeling cuddly and cold

Bones gives really good bear hugs and tired crewmembers (a.k.a Jim, a.k.a Chekov a.k.a any of his medical staff a.k.a Spock) will fall asleep in his embrace because he's warm and cuddly and 😌

Christine's got really smooth skin, I don't know why but that makes me want to hug her, and her clothes are always a smooth texture so people (Nyota and Bones) steal her scarves

Jim also gives good hugs

And if it's been a particularly bad or long mission he will carry you to your quarters because he strong

Spock isn't one for hugs but will sit next to his friends when they're sad and pat them on the head or carefully rub their back like a cat

Scotty is the kinda guy to pick you up and spin your around when you've done something great and he's proud of you

Chekov is also like this but less strong so he drops people

Uhura has so many layers on her bed and makes sure she's sleeping in a blanket fort almost all the time

Sulu falls asleep in the greenhouse because it's warm and softly humid and Chekov has to store pillows in there so he doesn't get cramp from napping

It's also where he goes when calling Ben and Demora or if he's feeling lonely because it's his happy place

Wow I managed to sneak a bit of angst in there

Bones likes giving hugs because he knows if someone hugs him and pulls his head into the crook of their neck and let's him nuzzle and get comfy that he'll cry his eyes out

He's a big softy

He likes baking and makes jam and scones and has afternoon tea with Spock on the anniversary of Amanda's death or her birthday because she used to hold tea parties with him and I-Chaya

Jim's second best at hugs because he's soft and chubby and good for really getting warm (spock knows this and this very much comes from this post by @lejoursobre )

I hope you enjoyed these, I'm tired and hungry at the moment and that combination makes me sleepy and my bed is very cosy. Tell me your thoughts!

Ben & Hikaru Sulu

[leyenarsinterests]

dear trekkies, will you please...

not ship Millippa? They’re mother and daughter in all but blood!

acknowledge the existence of Ben Sulu in Chulu fics? Just imagine the sheer amount of drama in all that! Same with Worf in Kiradax fics, I don’t want Kiradax shippers to just straight-up ignore the fact that Jadzia was married to Worf. 

normalize person/starship pairings? 

will one of you PLEASE give me the Keenser/Ferengi pairing I’ve been contemplating lately? 

[tobadlygo]

If the next Star Trek movie conveniently forgets that Hikaru Sulu has a husband and daughter, I’m going to cry.

Hikaru and Ben Sulu are my favorite aos ship, cannon or not, 100% hands down.

Also, I need that plush and I need it now.

So the beautiful Hikaru reunites with Demora and Ben gif set has landed on my dash once again and as I was staring at it, I noticed something…

While Demora goes to run into Hikaru’s arms, I noticed something in Ben’s hand. It’s not really apparent until you see the scene where Hikaru lifts Demora up and holds her close:

(Also showing because LOOK AT BEN’S ADORING FACE OF LOVE AT HIS DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND.)

Right there, smack in the middle of the screen visually is this:

That is right, a stuffed toy in the shape of the Enterprise.

Such a small, cute domestic detail that one spouse holds the child’s toy as the kid goes to greet the other parent.

But also, not only does it speak volumes, I want to know everything about it. Demora is at a grown enough age as a child to have one of those objects that she brings around everywhere. And her’s is a stuffed ship. How does she play with it? Does she pretend to be captain? Does she imagine adventures of her dad being captain? Is the ship even named the Enterprise? Did Hikaru give it to her or is it something she wanted or something Ben gave her, I just… 

All the answers. Need. I need them.

Ben: You're too deep and lost in the memes

Sulu: BEN YOU SAID YOU WERE DANK

[bearsinpotatosacks]

The crew visit each other's home towns:

Jim-

They visit Iowa briefly, since there's still some (a lot) pain about there

They do see the first house he had after running away at 18

And the motorbike he stole and later crashed a year later

And a field near a river full of wildflowers that was his safe place

Uhura-

She lived in many places in Kenya in her life (because of the different schools she went to)

But she lived in Nairobi the longest

She takes them to some touristy places and some hidden gems

They have to be told to leave the museum because it's past closing time and they're all history nerds

She also shows them a few restaurants she still adores and plenty of places where they understand why she fell in love with learning languages and about cultures

Chekov-

There are plenty of complaints over the cold

But after bundling up they explore

Chekov is exploring a lot too, because despite how well versed he is in his country's history, he was studying so much as a kid he never truly explored the city

They go for long walks around the city and even get a boat out for a day

But they also visit his mother's grave, somewhere he hadn't visited since her funeral in 2249

Scotty-

He too never had a permanent home for too long as a kid, because his parents' jobs meant they had to move around

But he went to University in Aberdeen, and that's where his grandparents live, so they explore Aberdeen

They go to a few museums and gardens, and definitely a few castles where Jim tries not to fall in love too much with the idea of being a knight to Spock

They also see the place where he came up with the Aberdeen solution and realise even more that Scotty is really skilled because, let's just say, he didn't exactly have Starfleet level equipment to work with (he was 15)

They also go for afternoon tea

Scotty gets loads of sandwiches and is happy

Bones-

The first day is difficult

Not too difficult, he visited Georgia with Jim to clean up his apartment and look for a nice rural ranch style house

He takes them peach picking and spends a day making loads of recipes with them

They also meet the McCoys and realise that Bones truly comes from a sweet, close, accepting Southern family

They also go riding in a local forest

Spock takes some convincing to go because he's terrified of horses

It does create some peace about Georgia though and Bones becomes even more southern due to the troubles being settled

Sulu-

Sulu was raised in San Francisco (where all the crew lived at some point)

So they don't think they can really "discover" it

But Sulu proves them wrong

They meet up with Ben and Demora

They visit his childhood home, go to some botanical gardens and visit the racetrack where he realised his talent for being a pilot/driver

Sulu shows them all the tiny, backstreet restaurants that he loves, and they see how at home he is there, much more than any of them were

Spock-

He gets kinda sad after they visit everyone's childhood homes

Because, you know, his entire planet was destroyed

But he does show them New Vulcan and takes them to various places he's visited that feel like home

And the crew try to make the Enterprise feel like more home

They have group dinners and parties and dance battles and want to show him that they're his family and can be his home

He gratefully accepts

Wow, that got a bit sappy at the end, huh? I hope you enjoyed this, I really like creating stuff for the characters' lives before they met and pre-Starfleet years. If anyone has any of their own ideas I'd love to hear them!
