Helloooo!! I drew spock with another creature :D (I have no idea what it is called) I was inspired by the piece I made a while ago of Spock holding the cat, so I did the colour blocking technique I used last time since you guys seemed to like it ^_^ if y’all have any wishes for Star Trek characters with creatures pls lmk!! (I would happily make a series of it!!)

Anyways, have a good day/evening!!!

Sometimes star trek tos fanartists wil be like 'hmm you know what spock needs he needs a fancy little tail'. and they are absolutely correct

more vulcan headcanons: biology edition

vulcan eyes have a tapetum lucidum, just like an earth cat's. their reflective nature allows them to have nearly perfect night vision, able to use even the smallest amounts of light to see in the dark.

vulcan pupils are round in low light, but in bright light, they become vertical - just like earth domestic cats.

vulcans have sharp canine teeth. their upper and lower canines as well as the pre-molars are sharper than the rest. this is a remnant from their feline ancestors they evolved from (instead of the primate ancestors of humans).

vulcan infants aren't as helpless as human infants. they are born with the ability to sit, hold their own heads up, as well as lift themselves on their arms. at three months, they are able to crawl and emote as well as a human six to eight month olds. this is due to the harsh and dangerous environment of their planet and the need to adapt quickly for survival.

vulcan infants don't cry, as they have the ability to communicate telepathically upon being born. they are able to transfer their needs through the telepathic bond they have with their parents. the bond is a simple one at first, until the child is able to communicate verbally. instead of complete thought, sensation and emotion is sent through the bond.

due to their feline ancestors, vulcans have the ability to purr and make other sub-harmonic vocalizations.

vulcans also have thicker, stronger nails. most vulcans keep their nails trimmed, mostly due to cultural and hygienic reasons (the same reasons humans tend to trim their nails) if they are allowed to grow out, they can easily become claws.

if a mated pair have sex regularly, pon farr becomes non-fatal. by meeting those needs regularly, the suppressed emotions become more easily to deal with.

if one partner enters pon farr, the bond can assist the suffering partner by influencing their bondmate into their own cycle. this could be considered a false, sympathetic version of the pon farr that ensures that the suffering vulcan doesn't die.

Something that I've been processing since Errand of Mercy is that line of Kirk's about being used to the idea of dying. I take it to refer to his experiences on Tarsus IV rather than a willingness to die for Starfleet/some loyalty-to-the-death type deal. Like, he saw a leader make themselves into a dictator in a time of famine and suffering, and said dictator used "personal eugenics" on the people he was meant to aid. Kirk himself was selected to die. Regardless of if Kirk was a young child or teenager when it happened, that event has shaped him (and I can not believe no other writers for the show used it explicitly to develop his character, so now I get to feel like the Pepe Silva It's Always Sunny meme always. It's fine. It's cool. It's fun, even. Thank god for fanfic writers).

But in the episode before Errand of Mercy, The Devil in the Dark, Kirk says that--as individuals--Spock and himself are expendable. The implication is the chain-of-command based on Kirk's rank as Captain and Spock's rank as First Officer. Should Kirk die, Spock assumes command and etc. If both are killed together, there's a larger ripple effect in the chain and more issues to get positions filled, so Spock and Kirk together as a pair are not expendable. (To say nothing of the larger risk of endangering two lives vs one and Kirk takes calculated risks.)

I point this out because in Operation: Annihilate, Kirk doesn't give a single care about the chain-of-command and who is expendable once Spock is made host to one of the creatures.

(As an aside: yes, I know the usual considerations. Inconsistent writing on the show's part. Nobody would want to work under Kirk if he didn't care deeply for the safety of his crew. Etc.)

Nowhere in Operation: Annihilate does anyone suggest a replacement first officer (despite idk the weirdly vivid memory that it was a conversation Spock and Kirk had in the episode? Did I write my own fanfic while watching the episode and give myself a case of the Mandela effect? I have tried rewatching it and reading transcripts, and I am getting no such scene and I am feeling truly insane, oh my brainworms have gotten worse) after Spock is made a host to the creatures. McCoy comes close in wanting Spock to stay in Sickbay rather than go out to collect a sample, and McCoy also reminds Kirk that Spock is "the best first officer in the fleet" before they put him under enough light to rival the sun and fry his optic nerves, leaving him (temporarily) blind.

(As another aside, while it is one big facepalm that these 3 geniuses in their respective fields failed to conduct their experiment properly--Nurse Chapel, you are due for a promotion!--dare I say that it is still a compelling and entertaining drama? The time-crunch scenario of if Spock can't withhold the pain and insanity anymore, of if Kirk's nephew wakes up, and of when the creatures will successfully leave the planet to infect a new one, so they will gamble and risk Spock's eyesight rather than enact a plan that would kill 1 million people.)

It's just. Interesting to me. Almost as if Kirk believes that so long as he and Spock are together, regardless of what may injure them, they can do anything.
