I need to stop making Vulcans more and more cat-like but it’s impossible.

i keep adding this shit to my personal k/s things and…

like…

obviously some of these are ones that have been in fanon for a while

but…

here’s ideas i’ve just kept for a while:

They purr. Since it’s caused by pleasurable emotions, usually they have to be pretty worked up, but purring is a thing Vulcans naturally do. (Romulans also purr, so says I, due to their shared ancestry). Spock has gotten more comfortable with it over time, as he has with other more emotional things, and he gets “bubbly” sometimes when he’s content and will let out the occasional rumble among friends.

Vulcans also rub. similar to the purring, it is an emotional reaction and is clearly not an “in public act” but they sometimes headbut and rub their faces on their partner.

this isn’t really a cat thing but on the themes of affection, Since Vulcans “kiss” with their hands, but that isn’t necessarily how they engage in sexual intercourse, (because the Saavik thing is in search for spock is so weird… for my own sanity i just see it as like, her calming down the ponn farr? so that spock doesn’t die as a 7 year old on Genesis??) i believe they wouldn’t naturally kiss on the lips like humans do. (just think: kirk gives spock a very human peck on the lips and spock does not innately know how to kiss back so he just presses his lips against Jim. and jim is just :O because it’s so cute. but spock is much more comfortable using his hands to show affection.)

anyway, there you go.

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

STAR TREK - S1E15 Shore Leave

[starberry-cupcake]

'the ultimate computer' aka uncannily precise vision of the future in which starfleet wants to replace jim with ai but spock and bones are not having it

I am going feral at all the times ai is being a menace in this show and how accurate it is to the bs present we're living in

Apparently, back in the day, there was a really notorious tie in novel for Star Trek that had a lot of slash elements called Killing Time

The slash elements were requested to be removed by Paramount, and they were, BUT due to a mistake, the original was sent to print without the edits

When it was caught, they’d printed 250k of this “first edition” which subsequently became collectors items for Kirk/Spock fans, since later editions DID include the edits censoring the slash

NOW, I bring this up because my friend who’s into the original Star Trek found and was reading the first edition at the desk at the library we work at, cause we’re slow on weekends and we’re the only ones here. She laughs at it, so I ask and she tells me about the general backstory of the book, and that she laughed because (among other things) Kirk, who doesn’t get mad in the og series really, was being described as hot headed and apparently just getting into fights left and right

So I’m looking over her shoulder at the scene, commenting on the character changes that resemble modern fic-degradation of characterization for the sake of a shipping dynamic, when I realize something

Now, my only interaction with the Star Trek series directly was the 2009 reboot, and my friends hasn’t seen those and is only interested in the originals. As I’m looking at this scene, and my friend is pointing out the character changes to Kirk, I realize that this is the fucking premise of the reboot, down to the fucking alternative timeline shenanigans, the rank swap, and Kirk being a hotheaded fuck up

The 2009 film was literally based on this slash fiction misprint they tried to bury!

Im reeling.

I can’t be the only one who made this connection.

So I google to see if anyone else has, and oh yes, good, there was someone

The fucking author of Killing Time

…I feel like I’ve uncovered a conspiracy. I’ve still got 3 hours left in my shift and I can’t focus. The world must know.
