pov: you're about to die in the gayest way imaginable

[spectrumtacular]

Fellas is it gay to cure yourself of blood fever in a fuck or die scenario by rolling around in the dirt with your boy best friend

I like that a good 60% of interactions between spock and kirk are just kirk saying some sly comment while looking immensely pleased with himself and spock is standing there like 😐 <- having a lovely time talking to the captain

spock telling jim that no outworlder knows what pon farr is except the few who have been involved and then.two seconds later telling him what it is is crazy like why was he lowkey coming onto him .

I LOVE how star trek tos is failing at heterosexuality.

I mean I look at this show and almost every het relationship is so weird, it just doesn't work there is no writing beside people's 'gender'.

But, these manly men's friendships look so very queer.

Like in mirror mirror, Marlena is obviously hot but since she's 'just' hot, her lack of characterisation makes her easy to forget (and this colorful dress when she is at the door, so camp).

On the other hand Bones softly puts his thumb on Kirk chin to erase a blood stain. And both Jims' first sentence or so are about Spock's beard. Tiz peak.

It's wonderful.

And don't get me wrong: I'm a sucker for well written friendships. I want these hands on the shoulder and waist (if people are ok with contact) and strong dialogue about their platonic feelings. And I'm sad about the possibility of being gay pushing away this kind of writing in today's shows (to be clear it's shitty queerphobia). But oh the sheer joy to see this spark of affection between same gender characters, I'll take these crumbs and cherish them in my little agender bi heart.

do you think asexual Vulcans experience pon farr?

Star Trek TOS 1x24 This Side of Paradise // Supernatural 8x17 Goodbye Stranger

[bellamontwasright]

Fuck or die but your grandma and your fiance and your fiance's boyfriend and your boss and your doctor are there. I think if I was in Spock's position I'd just kill myself. So considering that I think his actions are above criticism

Holo Janeway giving the “Boldly go” speech gets me every time

[pinkgrapefloyd]

Hullo! Trying to revive the tried and true tradition of asks!! Do you have a favorite episode or favorite few? (Bonus: please elaborate as much or as little about why you like it depending on your energy levels of course❤️)

Hope you’re having a lovely day!

hihihiii!!!! thank you so much for sending this, and i hope ur ALSO having a fantastic day <333 ohhhh my god it's been a while and im way overdue for a rewatch, but here's what i remember:

for plot reasons, "space seed" is definitely a favorite and my most rewatched!! i'm a sucker for analysis, and ricardo montalban, mexican king, and not only is it an INCREDIBLE setup for TWOK, but i could probably write an essay post on how good of a villain khan is as a foil to kirk. to summarize, it's fascinating seeing two characters (protag-antag) that are genuinely well-matched in terms of wit and motive.

for gay (spirk) reasons, "the city on the edge of forever" always makes me go insane. the aesthetic, the LINES that are dropped ("[as if you have been and always will be by his side]" or however it goes), and... just... the angsty and melancholic YEARNING that radiates from spock, watching him try to support kirk as a friend, but internally being torn apart because he'd rather martyr himself for kirk's happiness and good the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one than consider his own needs...

i also just wanna put out there that "for the world is hollow and i have touched the sky" as a title, poetically, has made me go apeshit bonkers even before i watched it. like. what the fuck.

the inherent homoeroticism of a duel to the death

[eury--dice]

vulcans love to shake their “shut the fuck up” bells

[caityjay13]

just finished a tng rewatch and I love you, data, but you are not a vulcan

[sofiadragon]

I feel you @shitty-gay-mess I feel you...

Kirk: “And so I says to him, ‘admiral’ I says-“

Spacelet: “captain James Kirk, this is your seven year reminder.”

Kirk: “7 years? What the heck happens every seven years?”

Kirk: *realization*
