@rainbow-person hi saw your tags!

According to my research, yes the producers know a large portion of the fandom extrapolated and consider the Vulcan finger touch to be a kiss. They have outright said it’s not, and it’s the equivalent of handholding—just a sweet romantic gesture, but fandoms will fandom anyway, and thus the assumption made from the scenes where Vulcan’s would touch fingers as a form of affection with their spouse lives on in Star Trek fandom culture. Regardless though, they absolutely know fans headcanon the interaction differently than they intended. I believe they continue to add the interaction despite the misconception because they aren’t changing the original intent just because it was misunderstood, which is valid. But as started prior, fandoms will fandom the way fandoms will fandom and a large chunk of fans will always see a kiss.

like maybe unification didn't make spirk canon in that we didn't see them make out with tongue or whatever but what it did make canon and what makes it so incredibly important to me is that kirk and spock's ending is no longer so goddamn tragic.

before, jim died in his sixties and spock spent the next 100+ years missing him before dying alone. now, even with all the tragedy and heartbreak and the lifetime spent apart, they were together in the end. they were together and happy and everything was beautiful!!

Quote is from Star Trek: The Search for Spock. Felt it was very fitting since they reunited once again.

Someone slap me I must be dreaming

SPIRK IS CANNON????

Omg I cannot

You’re telling me after so much time we finally got the happy ending we wanted 😭

Even further update!! I got sidetracked (this should surprise literally absolutely no one that knows me), but I did have a title for it and have the second draft detailed out before that happened!

WHICH IS PROGRESS!!

So far, I have the outline of Jim's reaction to waking up on Tarsus and knowing something's really wrong, pre-test Jim in his Starfleet classes and learning about a Kobayashi Maru replacement, what led Spock to planning out the Tarsus IV instead and his process for making it, Bones being Bones in the background as Jim's best friend and doctor, and a whole lot of trauma and angst for all of our me enjoyment!! It appears that the bit's I have left to do on the second draft before I can move on to draft three is decide exactly what happened on Tarsus (as opposed to Jim's test), add some extra scenes with Nyota being badass as law requires, and determine how Spock will finally convince Jim that it's a test so he can wake up.

Also, fun fact, rereading the plot outline notes... it would seem I subconsciously used the same basic plot for the svsss fic I'm working on and absolutely didn't notice until right now lol

Edit: Oh right, the working title is [ though the stars walk backward ]

Hi there, I saw your comment on that post about the AU where Spock programs the test as Tarsus IV rather than Kobayashi Maru saying you were writing that fic... did you ever post the link to that? I was really interested in reading it, but I'm terrible at navigating the tumblr interface, so I figured it may be more expedient to just ask ^^;

I did not! Life happened and such. But you are not the first person to ask me about this, so I should probably actually go do that… I’ll go pull up my drafts today and try to remember where I left off <3

I love how silly Spock looks in the beanies he wears on missions where he needs to hide his Vulcan features. Like men in the 20th century wore a variety of hats regularly, but he’s usually going for the beanie that makes him look like some 2010s angsty teenage boy.

HEY TO THE COOL PERSON IN ASK BOX WHO ASKED FOR CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER SPIRK THAT I ALREADY ANSWERED: I DREW A BETTER ONE

AND OF COURSE IT WAS ON FUCKING WHITEBOARD FOX

[flappielxx123]

What always really interested me in the episode ''Tholian web'' is the way that Uhura was so convinced Spock would believe her

Like to a point she was shouting in his name trough the corridors

Or here when Bones tries to calm her down and she just insists she has to get to Spock

And then as she is laying in sickbay the first thing she says is ''Mr Spock didn't believe me either did he?'' she sounded very hurt about it, but who wouldn't if no one seems to believe you?

I guess what I'm saying is, is that I love how when in distress and doubt she is sure he will see the truth about her that no one else will 💞

I will never be over the fact that Star Trek writers all sat down together one day and were like, “We should make up a Vulcan word that specifically refers to brothers-in-arms as soulmates and lovers and slap that baby on Spock and Kirk,” and somehow still had the audacity to tell us it wasn’t gay.
