This was a project I made for FTH 2024! The bidder wanted a little McSpirk story, so I wrote this up (although they suggested the mind/body/soul connection, an excellent point!). They were also very gracious in letting me try to ink in a different way, definitely a learning process! And of course, thanks so very much for the donation!

This dialogue cure my soul a little bit.

Just want you guys to know that.

Everyone please read the ideas below the cut! They make so much sense.

The triumvirate as commedia dell'arte characters

@mcspirkevents bingo card prompt free space

My ideas behind each of them and why I chose that specific character is after the cutoff :))

Spock is Pierrot. The character of Pierrot is a symbol for putting on a mask to hide one's true feelings which felt fitting for Spock. He is done with charcoal to give him a soft and kind of even sad vibe to mach the character of Pierrot.

McCoy is Columbina. The character of Columbina is sassy and is a faithful confidante, constantly demonstrating her improvisational skills. McCoy is trusted by others and has to improvise constantly in each medical crisis that happens aboard the Enterprise. McCoys outfit was made with old doctors coats in mind. He was done with watercolours to have a bold yet risky feel, because watercolours can be unpredictable.

Kirk is Innamorati, with some influence of Il Capitano. With all the chaos that occurs in commedia dell'arte Innamorati, which translate to Lovers, are characters that always end up winning in the end. They are very selfish and self-centered and along with loving themselves, they are in love with the very idea of love. It's well known that Kirk is infact not selfish at all, but to the audience of the show and other characters his actions aren't always crystal clear. Sometimes his actions could be deemed selfish before we get to the part of the conclusion of the episode. Kirk was made with acrylic paint to give him a romantic and shiny feel. His outfits design has heavy influence from II Capitano.

Good luck with Monday y'all

Yall know the scene in those ‘coming of age’ movies, where the family is having dinner, and the dad points out that new boy to his daughter with the subtly of a freight train. And he says something about him being a good kid, that he’s talented, and then ends with something that directly aligns with what the daughter likes?

Yes. That’s concept, but it’s dinner with Spock and his parents. And Sarek is under the impression that Spock is with Kirk (not wrong), and is trying to convince him that the doctor is a better option(wrong, because he’s also dating McCoy)

“Doctor McCoy is very talented. He’s recived awards for his work I’ve heard.”

“Yes father, he excelled as a doctor before he had joined starfleet as well.”

“He also saved my life, and your own countless times”

“Yes, as was his duty as Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise”

…

“I noticed as well, that he has incredibly skilled hands.”

“Father I do not wish to-“

The Captain isn't bringing his boyfriends with him for a change (to this supposedly not-dangerous mission), and this is BIG drama for them.

It gets better when one of the boyfriends decides to beam down nonetheless, but without the other:

Of course it ends up with Spock in a silly hat carrying McCoy around, and getting even in more trouble.

I've been obsessed with vintage comics lately, and I wanted to try out a new colouring style, so here is a redux of Day 19 of my Spocktober/Trektober 2023, Tribbles!

Please click for quality :3

(ID under cut)

[Image ID: A vintage comic style drawing of three tribbles from Star Trek, huddled together.

The one on the left has curly fur and is smaller than the other two. It is coloured blonde, and has one prominent curl right at the top of it, similar to a certain starship captain's...

The one in the middle, behind the other two, has glossy straight black fur and is taller than the other two. Its fur ends in a severe line, like Vulcan bangs.

The third tribble is about as big as the middle one, only this one has dark brown, messier, more layered fur. Its fur is swept to the left, much like Doctor McCoy's.

Wiggly lines indicate they are all purring or trilling as tribbles do, and three cartoon hearts float above them. The two tribbles on either end are spilling out slightly over the border of the drawing. The background is a light blue at the top, fading into lavender underneath them. Their shadows are purple, and the white paper of the borders is aged and yellowy. The layers of colour (cyan, yellow, magenta) are made up of tiny dots, and are offset slightly, creating chromatic aberration.

Above the drawing is written "Trektober" and "Day 19 - Tribbles" Below it is written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober"./End ID]

english and italian (original) versions! Inspired by the song "io non sono io" by Rancore.

For the Mcspirk bingo.

I'm not used to comics so I'm sorry if the composition is a bit weird.

[mcspirkevents]

It's always fun to see a silent comic get made!

one of my favourite mcspirk getting together tropes is jim and spock noticing something off about bones and being forced to beat it out of him with a stick (metaphorically) before bones opens up and they finally get together. like go you emotionally constipated space nerds i believe in you !!! you can do it!!

okay so people seemed to actually like my post on having read the tos mirror universe saga comic (and thanks for the further comic recs!) so I thought I'd share my thoughts because I have SO MANY. I was not prepared for how married mcspirk was gonna be in this, especially kirk and mccoy.

as for the actual plot of the series: it picks up after the search for spock, with spock still recovering while kirk and the rest have to face off with their evil versions from the mirror universe episode. It was published by DC comics during the 80s in eight issues, and later turned into a graphic novel with eight chapters, which is the one I read. So, because I also intend to add as many photos as tumblr lets me, I thought I'd split my thoughts per chapter and if you're interested you can read my thoughts on CHAPTER ONE under the cut:

so this is literally how the comic opens, spock is recovering on vulcan and this is the first thing he says:

like come on, he's so in love. Also the "jim, his name is jim" mirroring his exchange with kirk from the search for spock, where he says: "jim ... your name ... is jim" and kirk says "yes" (which lives rent free in my mind) is so cool!

then we have a glorious exchange with bones, whose first words to spock after the events of wrath of khan and search for spock are "you look good" ... okay, I know he meant it as a medical opinion but come on. Also the fact they're immediately back to bickering, I love their relationship so much. Spock paying him a compliment and calling him excellent and bones just going: "yeah, something's up, he's lost his mind", they are so MARRIED

the next exchange is so funny to me because mccoy's "you bet" and saavik's "indeed" are so unnecessary but they're all being so supportive 🥺🥺 it's so sweet

and then of course spock and jim holding hands and being all lovey-dovey. Like, "you came back for me once, Jim ... I have no doubt you will do so again" is insane, and they're holding hands again .... just kiss already

I also love how obsessed amanda is with kirk in this one, she treats him like her son in law and it's so sweet

and of course kirk says sth like "I have to do this but I can't order you all to follow me into danger" or sth similar like 3 times and of course everyone (and mostly sulu, the adrenalin junkie he is) always goes "stop being stupid, of course we'll come with you" and it just warms my heart

then we have more of mccoy being the most relatable ever, and this exchange with kirk just screams married to me. The way I was giggling every time bones had a line is definitely not normal

also the death of david is still so fresh and kirk is clearly suffering and bones is just so worried.

it's so sweet! And then mccoy, who canonically hates/fears nothing more than transporters doesn't just agree to beam down with kirk solely for support, no, he immediately OFFERS it himself. Like, no questions asked, he sees this is important to jim and he's just like "what can I do to make him feel better". Bones I love you so much (and so does kirk) and if this isn't husband behavior then idk what is

and kirk admitting "I've never been okay" is wild. Yes, it's about Carol but still.

mind you, we're 15 pages in and kirk is already so depressed. I know david just died but he literally goes "I wish I could die" every other page and it ripped me apart, like this is literally what he says:

meanwhile bones is constantly trying to cheer him up, the whole thing just went: mckirk being married - depression - mckirk being sweet - depression - mckirk - depression ... the whole time

also we have a scene between sulu and uhura being besties and singing together in the botanical gardens and it made me SO HAPPY. And then chekov comes in and they're all like: "oh shit we stole the enterprise to rescue spock, that might have consequences", so then they're worried and uhura is just the biggest badass (which, we all know already)

like, she's so done with it. Literally like "yeah I might lose my job but who cares, spock is more important" and it's so valid.

also, I didn't expect to see so much friendship between scotty and saavik but I'm so here for it, they have a bunch of scenes together just playing chess and being sweet

then mccoy is taking carol to david's funeral because she and kirk are not on speaking terms, like, the man loves jim so much he's doing everything he can. And at the end of the chapter kirk and carol are able to talk it through and make up solely because mccoy talked to her and convinced her that blaming jim wouldn't help. Anyway, just another example of bones being the best

that's all I have to say on chapter one, or at least all I could think of with the photos that tumblr let me include. Let me know if you want me to continue? I'd love to make a post like this for every chapter and guess what? They're even more married in the next one

[fely-v]

Well. This is the second part to one sketch from previous posts. I finally feel free.

Fuuuh. I've finally finished this job. Even after I made the first sketch, where did about the wounded McCoy reason, I felt the need to make a sequel. This comic has become a kind of redemption for me. I don't like pain without comfort. Let these guys continue to take care of each other.

Kirk is a jerk 🤭
