Vulcan Tails

I'm not sure if it's known which fan "invented" Spock's tail, but in a nearly 60 year old fandom the actual pioneer is probably lost. I've been influenced by a ton of fan artists, notably shigeoreum here on tumblr and on twitter. They look very long and flexible, possibly prehensile, and end in a tuft of hair.

I've also seen the other obvious tail for Vulcans, a bifurcated tail like a demon, which is also cute but not my headcanon. From here on I'm just talking about my headcanons but I'm open to feedback/comments/questions lol. I just want to organize my thots

I really dig the imagery of a humanoid able to wrap their tail around their own waist semi-neatly. I think for most Vulcans this is the equivalent of poker face or maintaining composure, and in some formal clothing the tail is actually meant to be worn this way the entire time. It conveys several different attitudes depending on context, such as professionalism, objectivity, modesty, humility, etc.

And on the flip side, when the tail is "out" it is only mostly voluntarily controlled. It reacts to stimuli and emotions automatically and Vulcans work to control it as they mature the same way they discipline their own facial expressions and other bodily functions.

I think Surak had a docked/destroyed tail. Perhaps it was symbolic or a literal result of his outsider status. The tail could be your connection to your family line or community and when you are ostracized, it is literally cut.

This resulted in modern Surakians using the docked tail to signify the ultimate devotion to logic. And with the ritual of Kohlinar, the two meanings collide: a Kohlinar adept has achieved both perfect logic and perfect independence from their community. Your tail and your emotions are severed from you.

Along this same line, the tail is an instinctive object of interest for infants and small children. Many start walking as they hold onto their parent's tail. This could help a touch telepathy bond be maintained between children and caregivers while letting the caregivers use their hands freely.

I've read really interesting stuff about hunter/gatherer communities where babies almost never cry because they are in constant tactile contact with other people, including older children. They develop a tactile language before a verbal one and have all their needs for comfort met immediately. Sounds like how touch telepathy might work, or develop in a species.

A Vulcan in extreme distress might comfort themselves by stroking or holding their own tail. They may even comfort one another this way, or soothe a child by giving them an adult's tail to stroke. The equivalent gestures among humans might be rocking back and forth or hugging yourself.

The tail is prehensile to a certain degree but cannot lift heavy objects or ones that are too small to grip. The primary use of the tail is communication, it wants to wrap around the bodies of others as well as the Vulcan's own body. And remember that you can't pull on tails too hard because they're attached to the spine. Vulcans should have pretty well developed lower back muscles to wield this tail, I think

I have cats so I'm biased but I think the gestures are a blend between a cat's and a monkey's. Cats tails tremble, curve, lash, shake, whip, and wag to portray different emotions.

I'm writing a wedding fic and I realized that the children at the wedding would have bells and ribbons tied to the ends of their tails. But this would be seen as cringe on an adolescent or adult.

I think as far as touch telepathy goes it makes no sense for tails to be as telepathic as the hands, face, or genitals. BUT I would think that the skin of the tail IS somewhat sensitive. So, going back to the children touching a caregiver's tail, I think a Vulcan can naturally "sense" with their hands and attune to anywhere on a person's body that is ennervated. The tail is just very convenient and has developed to be a little receptive to telepathic touch, but not wield it as the hands do.

So the connotations of touching another adult's tail would be non-sexual intimacy and comfort. Maybe depending on how Surakian you are, or if you are in private, casual touching of tails is normal between friends and family members. It helps you coregulate to do so. Not only putting your hands on your friend's tail but putting your tail on their body. Maybe even wacking them with it to be annoying, I could see that as a sibling activity for sure.

Hellooo, my question for you is, what is your favourite toothpaste brand? And as a request, could you mayhaps doodle Spock + a cat for some serotonin? Thank you very much, have a good life.

SJSKFKD good question lol -- my favorite toothpaste would have to be Colgate, specifically the cool mint flavor with the lil confetti looking thingies in it lmao

I just realized I never published my profile picture in better quality, although the scan is... not perfect.

That episode had me in tears, I love its goofiness — I did a similar painting of Spock to go with this one, where he's holding the cat from assignment : earth, I'll publish it as soon as I've scanned it !

To boldly boop where no man has booped before!

I got a lil carried away with all the booping yesterday, so here's a page of doodles! Featuring my beloved M'ress and her niblings :3

(ID under cut!)

[Image ID: a digitally coloured page of doodles featuring characters from Star Trek: The Original Series.

Text at the top of the page reads: "01/04/2024

Captain's Log: Lieutenant M'ress has been babysitting her niblings. While she has a cat nap, the Bridge crew has offered to watch them for a while."

Under this are three doodles of the niblings' faces. There is an orange one, with fluffy ears and yellow eyes, labelled M'lodi; a white one with blue eyes and one grey ear, labelled M'uschef, and a black and white spotted one with green eyes labelled M'rar.

The rest of the doodles are below. Described from left to right, top to bottom:

McCoy holds up M'lodi, grinning, and says "Well, ain't you adorable?" An arrow pointing at M'lodi reads "Trying to bap him"

Uhura cradles M'lodi in her arms, singing sweetly. M'lodi sings along, but the notes coming from them are jagged and discordant.

M'rar races towards the camera with a silver object in their mouth, looking pleased with themself. Scotty chases after them, yelling "GET BACK HERE YA WEE BEASTIE" An arrow pointing at the object M'rar has stolen reads "Essential piece of the warp core"

At the helm, Sulu and Chekov are watching M'lodi, who Chekov is holding in his lap, booping various buttons on Chekov's console. Sulu is laughing and Chekov is grinning. SFX: Beep boop

A closeup on Kirk as he says, despairing, "Mr Chekov, Mr Sulu, please tell me you locked the console." Chekov replies "Aye, Keptin." A white paw is visible on Kirk's shoulder.

M'uschef, the white cat, boops Kirk on the nose and the head, causing him to jump in surprise. SFX: BAP!

Spock is at his station, back to the camera. A light blue lump is just visible in his lap. From off screen, Kirk yells "SPOCK!"

Spock spins in his chair to face Kirk. "Yes, Captain?" M'rar is sitting in his lap, dressed in a tiny light blue lab coat, batting at the Starfleet insignia on Spock's chest.

M'uschef is lying on top of Kirk's head now, bapping at his ear. Kirk is resting his chin on his hand, sighing, saying "Nevermind..." SFX: bap bap bap

Four small doodles in sequence. Kirk still has his head in his hand and looks mildly irritated. M'uschef is on Kirk's shoulder, playing with the curl of his hair. M'uschef lifts it up and lets it slap back into Kirk's face, who turns, affronted, and says "Do you MIND?"

Lieutenant M'ress, an orange Caitian with a darker orange mane, covers her hand with her mouth, eyes wide. She thinks "Oh I am gonna be court-martialled"

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!!!

[talk-nerdy-to-me-thyla]

⌛Isekai Jason AU ⏳

He comes back to Gotham, and as he intends, he manages to kill Joker and then Batman, completing his ultimate revenge. But then everything goes wrong. Gotham becomes even more horrible without the bat protecting it and crimes goes rampage in the streets, half the family dies in the conflicts (Tim, Steph…), Damian goes back to the league following Talia’s orders, and Dick, half crazed after having lost everything he holds dear, ends up crossing the line and killing Jason because he blames him for everything that has happened. 

This time, when Jason opens his eyes after dying for the second time, he realizes he has gone back in time for a year, to when he first arrived in Gotham, before he killed Joker and Bruce, and before chaos started. He promises himself right then and there not to repeat the same mistakes this time. 

He still kills Joker again because he deserves it, and the world is better without him, but he leaves Bruce alone. He can't forgive the old man, but he can ignore him if it means Gotham and the family get to live. And this time the city actually gets better. Without the Joker, and with the other crime lords now terrified of him, crime actually goes down. Everything feels better this time, even Batman stops pestering him for a while for what he had done, and ignores him back. However, with his identity now revealed to the family, there is a new problem he has to face: The birds keep stalking him. 

At first it is subtle, just Damian following him out of curiosity, or Cass spying on him when he is smoking a cigarette, but with days, they get bolder. Tim is screaming to him across roofs about a case, Steph is asking him questions regarding his weapons and where to buy them and so on. Jason is spocked. After his last life and how the birds had all suffered because of him, he can't even stay in their same space without drowning in guilt. 

The worst of all, of course, is Dick. Dick wants to restart the old relationship with his little wing, and he keeps making jokes, flirting, and stalks Jason like it is his new hobby. Dick who also killed him in his previous life. Who despised and hated him enough to break his own code and drive a knife through his heart. 

Jason can't help but be scared of him as memories of his last death keep resurfacing. The chaos, the pain, Dick’s face. It's almost ironic. He had always had a crush on Dick (who wouldn't? He is sex on legs), but now that Dick is finally paying attention to him, he can't even face him without being terrified. 

They keep playing cat and mouse for a couple of weeks as their stubbornness clashes against each other, until Dick finally catches him, and Jason explodes. He tells him all that had happened in their previous life, what Jason did, what Dick did, and then he asks Dick to leave him alone because nothing good will come out of this. And Dick is so shocked after hearing him, that Jason manages to escape and flee from him again. 

They ignore each other after that, and slowly, Jason gets used to his new life and finally has time to rest, think, and find a semblance of peace for the first time in his life. 

They meet again by chance as Jason tries to bust a drug ring that Dick is also working on. It's awkward and weird, but Jason has had time to find peace about what happened, Dick apologizes, Jason apologizes too, and suddenly they are kissing as if their life depends on it.

They start their relationship the next day after a night full of touches and confessions. Dick is beaming to anyone who sees him, and Jason is still disbelieving this actually happened to him and that he gets to keep this life, but also smiling stupidly. Their relationship with Bruce is still weird, there are problems they still need to work on, but the rest of the family accepts them with glee, and Jason finally lets go of that other timeline.

hiii! aaa. OKAY. so, what abt reader (or spencer) finally getting a new puppy after seeing that is possible to have a lovely dog and work at the bau thanks to luke, lol. and then the other one coming to their shared flat and they are like (spencer or reader, up to you who decides to get the puppy) but sweetheart- (sighs) alright we can keep it because it's cute. hehe. just tons of your lovely spencer fluff! mwah.

You were used to having animals. Growing up you had several pets from goldfish to dogs and cats and when you moved to D.C. having a little loving animal by your side was something you terribly missed. You knew that it would be hard to keep a pet by yourself, especially if it was a dog who needed to be taken out regularly. However, you no longer lived alone, you had your lovely boyfriend Spencer and you were slowly wearing him down on the topic of getting a pet.

After one night of begging, pleading and showing your best puppy dog like eyes at Spencer to go to a kennel sometime soon to look at the puppies they have up for adoption, all that Spencer said was “We’ll look into it, okay?” and that was it for the whole night. The topic wasn’t brought up again for a few days until a better offer came up.

One of your coworker’s dogs had puppies recently and was looking for a home for them. After seeing pictures of the little furballs your eyes landed on one of them and knew you needed to have it in your arms. It was a little spaniel puppy with golden fur and a brown nose, it was adorable.

After finishing a shift you picked up the needed supplies for your newest family member and headed over to pick it up.

A few hours later you were at home and playing with your new love. The puppy was energetic and was gnawing on a toy you got him, holding onto it with its paws as he kept on going. You were so distracted with the dog that you didn’t hear the front door open and close. Spencer walked in and furrowed his brows as he heard the squeak of a chew toy, it couldn’t be what he thought it was. Spencer walked to the living room and was met with you sitting on the middle of the carpet, holding a small dog in your arms.

“Sweetheart…”

“Oh Spence! Come here, I want to introduce you to someone,” Spencer walked over to you and sat down next to you, the puppy immediately crawling over to him and sniffing him. A smile crept up on Spencer’s lips and he gently petted the puppy.

“Isn’t he cute?”

“He is, but where did you get him?”

“Marla’s dog had puppies some time ago and they needed homes, so I thought why not?”

Spencer sighs and tries to hold back a chuckle as the dog bites on his fingers playfully.

“You should’ve talked to me about this first, you know.”

“I know, but you were so hesitant and I really wanted him, Spence. I’m sorry that I didn’t come to you first, but…”

The puppy crawled back over to you and licked your hand, even if Spencer wasn’t too keen on having a dog right now he was going to have a hard time keeping you two apart.

“Well it’s a bit sudden, but I think I can come around to him. Okay, let’s keep him.”

“Really?”

Spencer nodded and you jumped into his arms and kissed him, making the dog bark and jumping up to join in on the fun. Both of you chuckled and Spencer cleared his throat,

“What’s his name?”

“He doesn’t have one yet, I thought that maybe you could do the honors.”

“Okay um… Spock?”

“Spock? Really? Any other name that isn’t after a Star Trek character?”

Spencer chuckles, “I don’t know um… Sunny? I mean he does have a golden coat.”

“I love that, do you like it Sunny?”

The dog licked your face which made you giggle, “Sunny it is.”

“Spock, who couldn’t hold a tribble or a cat without petting it, holding the baby and quite oblivious to it.”

The Price of the Phoenix, Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath

McCoy noting that Spock, normally a tactile person is just holding this random baby like a sack of potatoes, is so haunting and such an interesting way of illustrating the depth of shock Spock is in.
