#like damn spock

[snek-of-eden]

something I absolutely adore about spirk playlists is when 90% of the songs are about undying love and faith and science and their unbreakable bond... but about halfway through you get to a block of just. really really horny shit. the most animalistic lyrics possible. kind of songs you wouldn't dare play in public, and you think gleefully, ah. amok time.

Spock breaking that vase barehanded turned them on and I won't change my mind

[a-most-beloved-fool]

fic in which Spock is unconscious or in a healing trance, and Kirk has to carry him somewhere, and any time Kirk is touching him, Spock is purring. Kirk stops to set Spock down and the purring stops. He picks him up again? Instant purring.

Kirk didn't know Vulcans purred, and is. utterly smitten by this. Biggest heart eyes you can imagine. Keeps looking over at Spock with the World's Sappiest Smile.

jim, when he finally understood spock’s reasoning in menagerie, part 2: spock! you could’ve just told me! (and i would’ve broke the rules for you)

spock, as noble and kind as he is: and make you face the death penalty too? no… one of us is enough

[adoctornotatumbl-r]

people who don’t think nimoys spock is hot obviously haven’t seen the still of him in the slutty black t shirt that’s at least a size too small for him . y’all know the one

[dustykneed]

i saw a post that was like "the reason bones is always frowning is bc whenever he smiles, everyone in a 3 mile radius falls madly in love w him" and i think that is so true tbh

(anyways bonus spones scribble. ur welcome:

this picture always sends me the fuck into orbit because how in the convoluted hell would shooting jfk stop khan? love that this implies khan wanting to save jfk from assassination in the first place lmao. and why did spock specifically have to shoot the president???

“to accept there was only a single shooter on that day is not a logical avenue of thought Captain. As you are well aware I am required to assume my position at the grassy knoll if khan is to be defeated. On this occasion you must not get in my way jim.”

- spock in an alternate wrath of khan apparently

My name is [BRUTUS] and my name means [HEAVY] so with a [HEAVY] heart I'll guide this dagger Into the heart of my enemy

Something about having absolutely no choice in who you marry. About being literally forced by the law to spill blood - to accept this stranger as your husband over a man you truly care for or accept the fact that the man you love might die because you put him in danger. Something about risking becoming the wife of a man you've never even seen before a few minutes prior because you know anything would be better than putting your beloved in harm's way. Something about the trust inherent in that decision and in the way she speaks of it after. Truthfully, T'Pring doesn't know the captain and she doesn't know Spock. Either one of them could have taken her as their wife but she does know Stonn. She knows that Stonn will remain by her side no matter what. They made a plan together. They have an agreement which T'Pring believes will be upheld even though the plan changed with the arrival of Kirk. Stonn will always be there, always, and Stonn will be hers. Something about the language used around T'Pring: Ownership, subservience, non-personhood. T'Pring is an object that Spock can win. She cannot reject him, she has no say in the matter other than having Stonn 'claim' her instead. Even when Spock leaves after being very clearly rejected by T'Pring he says "Stonn, she is yours." as if despite her clear rejection he still owns her and is must formally 'give' her to Stonn. But the language T'Pring uses around Stonn is a break from that: "There was Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort, and I wanted him." Stonn who wanted very much to be HER consort and she WANTED him. The language here is very particular - It's not, for example: "Stonn wanted me to be his wife" - he is HERS. And she WANTS him. There's a mutual affection there and a strong trust - a trust which seems to be well founded since Stonn (though silent) stands by her side at the end of the episode. <- That might seem small but if Spock would reject her for 'daring to challenge' (again, the language is not 'because I don't want you' but more of an implied disgust at her having the AUDACITY to reject him) then it's not a stretch to assume that it'd be considered an insult in the TOS Vulcan society to NOT choose Stonn as her champion after a prior agreement. Anyway T'Pring was a woman in an impossible situation within a society which saw her as more of an object than a person and she wanted Stonn and Stonn wanted to be hers and she trusted that he would understand if she had to publicly pick someone else to ensure his life would be spared and he did understand.

The level of respect I had for Spock after he sat down and started jamming with the hippies. This speaks volumes to his character. He is officially a Groovy Guy

[snoji]

my brain is so fried up, i'm having a regular day and no matter what happened during i'm like "how can i make this about star trek"

[beingatoaster]

man I don't mean to be a bitch, and people can write what they want, but when I ship characters who have tension between them, resentment/bitterness or rough history or even just giving each other a hard time, that's part of the ship for me and it sucks when people make that go away as soon as they get together. like, cozy domesticity years later with vague reference to old issues fading is one thing, but when McCoy stops sniping at Spock or whatever the moment they kiss and suddenly they're calling each other pet names and being super saccharine... my first thought is always, why did you ruin it?

(this also applies to, and given some of my ships overlaps with, reconciliation stories, which are real common in Genshin because a couple fan-favorites have tensions around past incidents/arguments. whether platonic or romantic, the dynamic doesn't change instantly when one character says "I love you and I'm sorry"--it changes slowly over time as they (both, ideally) demonstrate that, and work out who they are in the aftermath, and that's the only way in which taking that tension out is interesting to me. if it's a shortcut to healthy well-adjusted schmoopy kisses and/or snuggles then you have once again Ruined It for me)

I love Chekov, he's just a kid in there and you can see how he matures during the seasons. Love the guy, really, even if he's a stereotype. I mean he's a Russian guy written for an American show in the sixties, what would you expect.

Spocktober + Trektober Day 13 - First Contact

So. I heard in Strange New Worlds those two freaks shook hands? At their first meeting? Scandalous!

(ID under cut)

[Image ID: A black and white drawing of Jim Kirk and Spock shaking hands for the first time. Only their hands and a few inches of their uniform sleeves are visible. Spock's hand, on the left, is larger and shaking Jim's hand firmly. The rank stripes on their sleeves are visible - Spock's with a wide band and a thinner band above it, Jim's with a single wide band.

Sparks and fireworks surround their joined hands, radiating outward from where they've made contact.

Above the drawing is written "Trektober" and "Day 13 - First Contact" Below it is written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober"./End ID]

Anyway, here's proof I'm working on Chapter 7 of Undone.

This was supposed to be hurt/comfort, why is it so damned romantic...
