Captain Kirk wont even look at a beautiful woman because he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable in a professional setting and yet people still act like he's nothing but a horndog

Just watched TOS's episode Journey to Babel and there was a moment that had me giggling.
Around 5 minutes in, when Jim is giving Sarek a tour and Spock is not-so-inconspicuously sulking in the foreground with Amanda, Sarek says 'My wife, attend.' which we can presume is a Vulcan thing, probably a nice and polite way of reminding others who your mate is without all of the pre-Surak stabby-ness.
And then not even ten seconds later, when Spock turns to leave, Jim turns to him and says 'Mr. Spock, a moment if you please?'
And I can't help but see the little parallel. Its like Kirk felt the need to also show the room who his boyfriend is but copying Sarek, who Kirk only learned two minutes ago was Spock's dad, would have been a bit too cheeky. First meeting with the in-laws and all that.
Plus Jim calls Spock over to explain the Enterprise's computers which Sarek does not need to know about. Almost as if Jim had to come up with a reason on the spot to explain away why he just called Spock over like Sarek did with Amanda.
Double plus, Sarek and Amanda are Vulcan kissing the entire agonising trip Spock takes to walk over to Jim. Like, not a light brush of the fingers, those babies are firmly pressed and not budging. And they don't stop until Sarek has insulted Spock and sent him away. Its more a makeout session than a kiss.
So, anyway, Jim calls Spock over both because he's maybe a little intimidated by Sarek and wants his best friend/boyfriend to support him and also because, no matter the species, men behave similarly when it comes to certain things like mates and Jim was not about to be shown up on his own ship.
#star trek#spock#james t kirk#space husbands#spock/kirk#spirk#sarek#amanda grayson#sarek/amanda#st tos#I just could not get the similarity out of my head#Sarek calls his wife over#and Jim goes 'shit is that a Vulcan thing? It's probably a Vulcan thing'#And calls Spock over#Amanda sees through this in a nanosecond#Sarek logically pretends nothing is amiss because his son couldn't possibly be with this human#Kirk just really wants to make a good impression

I’m sorry but the animated series is CRIMINALLY underrated. It’s not the most deep show ever, but it’s entertaining, has Uhura taking over as captain, cunty bones, and SOOO much overlooked spirk content. If you haven’t already, STRONGLY recommend.

Does that line ever work? [Kirk/McCoy]
A very silly 400 words long ficlet for @leonardmccoyevents. A scene with this line just hasn't left my mind ever since I saw the prompts the first time, and this morning, my brain just decided to write it.
rated T. first meeting. flirting. pre-canon. I didn't have a specific year in mind while writing it. It's me, so there's some McCoy angst too. Very light.
Does that line ever work? [ao3 link]
----
“Does that line ever work?” McCoy asked the man who had just sent a young woman away giggling.
The man turned to him. He had very nice green-brown eyes. “You’re talking to me, aren’t you?”
“I’m not her.”
The man ran his eyes up and down McCoy’s body. “Maybe tonight I’m more in the mood for someone”—he met McCoy’s eyes, and McCoy felt something pleasant in his stomach—“like yourself.”
McCoy swallowed. The music playing on the floor below theirs was loud, and its beats thudded synchronously with his heart.
“Does this line ever work?”
“You tell me.”
[continue on ao3]

I’m not sure if this will make sense to anyone but me, but I think among my issues with the way Strange New Worlds has approached romance is that every relationship has similar beats: T’Pring and Spock, Chapel and Spock, Pike and Alora, Pike and Batel, even Adya and Z'ymira all feature half of the partnership in a lesser position:
T’Pring secondary to Spock’s service to Starfleet and trust in the crew
Chapel as doomed to be functionally forgotten as part of Spock’s esteemed place in the future (per Boimler)
Alora as morally less than Pike (he saves kids in the future, she kills them in the present)
Pike self-declaring himself to not “deserve” Batel (to whom he lies and withholds information)
Z’ymira choosing the forest over Adya (not even sending a raven unnervingly reminiscent of Pike calling Batel just to say hello positioned as a Big Deal when it should be the Bare Minimum).
Anyway, my guess is the writers think conflict is interesting? But, if they want to write romance in a utopian future (and they don’t have to, they really don’t), it sure would be nice to see mature people make sensible, mature choices in a spirit of equality.
#star trek strange new worlds#star trek strange new worlds meta#romance#i didn’t even mention jim kirk and la’an which - while doomed - at least featured jim’s validation and kindness toward la’an#(which i did think was nice of him)#also no black character has had a romance (unless you count joseph’s dead wife)#so just putting that out there too#(could bob and sarah april be my great hope here? maybe)

I was watching paradise syndrome and kirk says:
“All i can tell you is that im happy and peaceful here. Im not sure, but i think ive never felt that way before.”
And thats just fucking sad ya’ll.
And later he says:
“I dont deserve to be this happy.”
Jesus, kirk.
#and also spock said essentially the same thing in this side of paradise#especially when you remember tarsus#but like he was 13/14 when that happened#so like#did he have a bad childhood before that???#was AOS kirk better off without george???#probably not lol#but cmon kirk bever catches a break#tarsus#the farragut monster#finnigan torturing him at the academy#losing his brother and sister in law#his wife and child died in this same episode#spock died#then his son died#i mean my god#star trek#star trek tos#paradise syndrome#jim kirk#captain kirk#spock

I'm thinking about Gillian Taylor, lesbian (in my heart), standing on that stolen bird-of-prey on their way back to the 23rd century, and trying to figure out the correct way to (tactfully) ask if Kirk and Spock are gay.
Back in the 80s, she'd just assumed that they were gay. I mean, dressed like that? She'd also, however, assumed that they were on drugs, probably a hallucinogen of some kind, which - turned out to be not quite true. So, really, anything was fair game, now, and she no longer knew if they were gay. Maybe that's just how men in the 23rd century were with each other.
She tried to watch, to analyze their actions objectively, but with how busy they were making sure that the ship didn't explode, they weren't really interacting all that closely with one another, and she truly couldn't tell.
So instead she just stood there, next to Admiral Kirk, trying to find the right words to use, words which wouldn't be heard as an insult if she was wrong or if the 23rd century was no more enlightened about these sorts of things.
And then Dr. McCoy walked in and, casual as you please, said, "Jim, where the devil has your husband run off to?"
Husband. He said the word so easily, like it was - normal. Like it was safe and accepted, for a man, an admiral, even, to be gay. He didn't even glance at Gillian as he said it, never even seemed to consider that someone might react poorly. Maybe no-one ever did, in the 23rd century.
Everything sort of faded out of focus for Gillian, after that. She didn't hear another peep until McCoy, concerned, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked if she was alright.
She just smiled in response and told him that, yes, she was doing very well.
Because if Admiral Kirk could have a husband... that meant that she could have a wife.
Oh yes, she thought she'd be quite happy in the 23rd century.
#and then she meets saavik <3#i don't think she ever like. explicitly realizes that spock is an alien in the movie. i think they just skip over her noticing his ears.#so it's also very funny to me to imagine her in the 23rd century Totally Fine with time travel but being like WAIT there are ALIENS???#and then being like WAIT you can get MARRIED to ALIENS???#whole new worlds of lesbianism opening up right before her eyes#star trek#tos#star trek movies#star trek the voyage home#the voyage home#the one with the whales#gillian taylor#spirk#james t kirk#spock#bones mccoy#tbh i have half a post written out about how being a lesbian makes sense for what little we know of gillian's character#but it kinda centered around the fact that the aids crisis had begun 5 years before the events of the movie (& was big in san fran)#and i was like. hm. it feels. insensitive maybe? to post that? so it's languishing in my drafts. maybe i'll post it at some point but.

I’m once again returning to do god’s work by bringing you delightful moments from Spock’s World by Diane Duane.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bdcb334549114dc7f8c7f6baf82f8960/ca8d1e3b50d745e2-f5/s540x810/8b27d8d5737efcc2a6d57ccf6b95b7b41774e394.jpg)
[Text ID: “Spock was bent over [the Science Station], making some adjustment. ‘Readout now,’ he said, straightening and looking over his shoulder at the large, shaggy-fringed rock that was sitting in the center seat. Some of those glittering fringes stroked the open circuitry of the communicator controls in the seat’s arm. ‘Point nine nine three,’ said a scratchy voice from the voder box mounted on the rock’s back. ‘A nice triple sine.’ ‘Nice?’ said Spock. Jim raised an eyebrow: you could have used Spock’s tone of voice to dry out a martini.” End ID]
There’s a Horta crewman on the Enterprise now and they’re great!

[Text ID: “Still working on her doctoral thesis, Jim thought. Uhura was busy working on improving universal translator theory, mostly by taking the old theory to pieces and putting it back together in shapes that were causing a terrible furor in academic circles on various planets. Jim vividly remembered one night quite a long time ago when he had asked Uhura exactly how she was going about this. She had told him, for almost an hour without stopping, and in delighted and exuberant detail, until his head was spinning with phoneme approximations and six-sigma evaluations and the syntactic fade and genderbend and recontextualization and linguistic structural design and the physics of the human dextrocerebral bridge. The session had left Jim shaking his head, thoroughly disabused of the idea (and ashamed of how long he had held it) that Uhura was simply a sort of highly trained switchboard operator.” End ID]
Uhura continues to be a total badass and is amazing at what she does.

[Text ID: Chatroom title in all caps: “COMMON ROOM OPINION, INFORMED AND NON- RANTING AND RAVING PERMITTED NAMES NOT NECESSARY” Regular text: “It was one of the places he came to find out what his crew was thinking. Messages did not have to be attributed to a name or terminal, but they could not be private. The office of the common room system operator rotated through the crew, offered to various members on the strength of their psych profiles in areas like calm reaction to stress and anger. The common room syops tended to be closemouthed and dependable, the kind of person that others refer to as ‘a rock.’ (Once it had actually been Naraht, to the amusement of just about everyone.) Here tempers could flare, awful jokes be told safely, suspicions be aired, rumors be shot down. The common room was sometimes a peaceful place, sometimes a powderkeg. Jim never ignored it.” End ID]
The Enterprise has a dumpster fire chat room that has just as much shitposting and vitriol as twitter.

[Text ID: “Jim bowed over her free hand. ‘It’s been too long,’ he said. ‘It’s good to be back,’ Amanda said. ‘And in the middle of a party as well.’ She looked a little wry. ‘A little entertainment will be pleasant before the deluge.’ Sarek’s eyes flicked to Kirk, a considering look. ‘My wife speaks figuratively,’ he said, ‘in the tradition of her people. Deluges are not common on Vulcan.’ ‘My husband speaks circumspectly,’ Amanda said, just as dryly, ‘in the tradition of his.’” End ID]
Amanda and Sarek are as charming as ever.

When did you get that?’ ‘Today in the gift shop, when you were looking at the snowball paperweights with Mount Seleya in them. Tackiest things I ever saw.’ ‘Yes,’ Spock said; ‘they were imported from Earth.’ ‘You be quiet. We can’t let these people leave the Federation, Jim. At least not until they teach us how to make tasteful souvenirs.’” End ID]
Just this.

Jim had to smile; the thought of a Vulcan farmer was slightly funny, even though there naturally had to be some. But the image of a Vulcan in coveralls, chewing on a stalk of hay, kept coming up and having to be repressed.” End ID]
I love Savesh the Vulcan farmer!

[Text ID: “His grasp of dialect and idiom as amazing for anybody, off-planet or on. He once reduced the President of the United States—then a ceremonial post, but one much loved by the people who lived within the old borders—to tears of laughter at a state dinner, by delivering a learned dissertation on computer data storage technology in a flawless Texan accent. The lady was later heard to propose an amendment to the Constitution to allow off-worlders to hold high public office, so that she could have him for her running mate in the next election.” End ID]
I would give anything to hear Sarek do a perfect Texas accent.

[Text ID: “—but when Amanda became annoyed over what she perceived as his smugness about being right, her eyes would flash and she would become splendidly insulting, usually in bizarre Anglish idiom that Sarek found as refreshing as it was annoying. She caused him to laugh out loud for the first time in many years when she told him, after a disagreement over the translation of the word for war, that he should only grow headfirst in the ground like a turnip. Later that month, when he was right about something again and made the mistake of not immediately down-playing it, she issued him with a formal malediction, wishing that the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind orphan children might pursue him so far over the hills and the seas that God Almighty couldn’t find him with a radio telescope. Sarek laughed so hard at that that he entirely lost his breath, and Amanda panicked and started to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which was useless, because his heart was somewhere other than the spot on which she was pounding. It took him nearly an hour to recover: he kept laughing. He had never been cursed like that before, not even by union leaders, and it was very refreshing.” End ID]
This dynamic is perfect, no notes.

[Text ID: “The next night they sat in the Rec Deck again, in the middle of a large impromptu party that was going on around them by way of celebration. The sense of relief in the ship was palpable. A group of about a hundred crewfolk, mostly human, had surrounded Spock earlier in the evening and sung ‘For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow,’ accompanied by twenty crewmen on kazoos. Sarek had been given champagne.” End ID]
I really hope the TOS Enterprise has crew performances like on Next Gen. This kazoo band needs to be heard! Also, I can perfectly picture Spock’s annoyed-but-tolerant expression as he resigns himself to the kazoo serenade.
Thank you @dianeduane for making me laugh!

Rewatching “Amok Time” through a K/S shipper lens (though there really isn’t any other way to watch this episode), and here are my live thoughts:
Jim acts super concerned at Spock’s irrational, angry behavior, at first confronting him by revealing how well he knows Spock (finding it odd that he’s never asked for leave before), then softening once he realizes how under duress Spock is & immediately switching course to Vulcan
Bones, the literal doctor, not being able to get Spock to admit to pon farr, yet Kirk managing to
Also Kirk’s poorly hidden desperation that he wants Spock safe
Spock: “How do Vulcans mate? Haven’t you wondered?” Kirk: *surprised Pikachu guilty face that reads like yup he has*
Kirk instantly deciding that he’s going to get Spock to Vulcan no matter what & disobeying a direct Starfleet order to do so
“I can’t let Spock die. I owe him my life 10 times over, isn’t that worth my career? He’s my friend!”
Being a Starfleet captain is repeatedly shown as the most important thing to Kirk, but apparently not as much as his boyfriend
Spock requesting that Kirk (and Bones!) beam down with him to Vulcan as it is his right to bring his closest friends with him to the ceremony & Kirk being quite touched by the offer
Kirk’s “bruh wut” face at the reveal that Spock has a wife
Spock openly confessing to T’Pau that he trusts Kirk (and Bones!) with his life
Spock somehow overcoming the blood fever briefly to desperately beg T’Pau to stop Kirk from fighting him because Kirk is his friend; he would do anything he must except for fight him
He’s so desperate to not harm Kirk that he’s willing to betray his very nature, break the law, and even die
Kirk, meanwhile, deciding to fight him because Bones said that the other Vulcan would beat Spock, and Kirk can’t let that happen
Somehow Spock’s plak tow which requires him to mate being broken by rolling around in the sand with Kirk
He even says that as soon as he felt he had killed his captain, nothing else mattered anymore and his attraction to T’Pring dissolved
[Live long and prosper.] “I shall do neither. I have killed my captain, and my friend.” (Essentially Spock’s life has no purpose without Jim)
Spock full-on grinning and grabbing Jim in pure joy after seeing him alive - the first time his emotional shields have shattered this strongly
In conclusion, they’re in love.
