#spock's diary

[incorrectly-quoted-queers]

Spock, writing in his journal: While visiting Captain Kirk's woodland cabin on Earth, he introduced me to a domesticated earth creature called a "cat".

Spock: While the captain expected the concept of a pet to be a novelty to a Vulcan, I surprised him by telling him about my own pet, I-Chaya.

Spock: He was quite enrapt with my stories of playing together, maintaining I-Chaya's dental hygiene, napping in his soft fur.

Spock: Things took a turn, though, when I exited the cabin to approach a beast that looked quite like a sehlat. According to the captain, despite their cuddly appearance, a "grizzly" is much more akin to a wild sehlat– A much more dangerous beast.

Spock: Captain Kirk also forbid me from bringing extra food next time we visit to encourage the "grizzly" to be docile. I must conduct further research.

Doctor McCoy

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

Mini drawing of Doctor McCoy from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock that I drew in the note space of December 16th in my 2023 diary, which is the day that I watched this film for the first time.

I had an absolute nightmare drawing this one, which is why it’s so late. First it took me ages to get the facial features right, then I spent ages trying to work out just how many different colours there were in the image I chose, then meticulously blending them all on each part of the drawing. I knew that it was probably a bad idea to pick that specific reference, because of how many colours there were reflecting off of McCoy, but I went ahead with it anyway. I put quite a bit of pressure on myself for this one too, because this is my favourite of the Trek movies, and Dr McCoy is my favourite character, so I wanted this one to be especially good. However, I have never been so happy to complete a diary illustration before! I suppose I am happy with how he came out, but I still feel he could've been better. It took me from Dec 21st to Jan 13th to do the whole thing (granted I did take a break over Christmas and new year and then I got I’ll, so I suppose I should cut myself some slack).

By the time I got to writing in the title, I’d just about had it with the project, so I don’t really like how it came out. The font and colours are based on one of the original movie posters.

On the bright side though, this was the very last drawing I had to do in my 2023 diary! On to 2024 now…

Drawn with Lyra colouring pencils and B and HB graphite and mechanical pencils.

Process photos below cut. I’ve also added the reference so you can see the lighting in context of the full image and see how inaccurate my drawing is.

This is the only social media where I'm completely alone without anyone whom I personally know being here. This feels great!!!!!! Like I can be soooo off-guard rn without feeling guilty about it! Like I can scream all the chaos out of my system! I feel like Spock unleashing his emotions inside a room with padded walls!

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Feeling better now.

Thanks.

[arsoneywrites]

so you remember that spirk royalty au i’ve been working on forever? chapter two now up AND i have a writing sideblog now! look at me!

[vortahoney]

Now I know this is extremely unlikely due to the nature of temporal investigations and the weird heterosexuality of strange new worlds but I do like to think about Boimler and Mariner slutting it up on the enterprise

[noratheelk]

So I watched ‘Charades’ and this is all I could think whenever Spock’s mom was talking:

[advoir]

I find Spock so relatable, half the time I still don’t understand why McCoy is mad at him.

crichton calling pilot mr. spock LOL. nerd

[basoogil]

I love this image of kirk. it looks like hes writing in his little diary (or captain's log i guueeesss) so i drew him doing that 👍

i think hed write a lot about his silly adventures. and spock. a lot of spock. mostly spock.

[multirptrash]

Uhura had collapsed on her…well, sort of her bed, ready to just try and sleep and hope that, somehow, she woke up back in her rightful universe. Thankfully at least, her regular pajamas were still there, and she had changed into a black night gown and robe and was just about ready to pass out when the door opened and shut quickly, letting in nothing but air and one Jim Kirk.

Well, you knew this was coming.

She had never been more grateful for the fact that she kept a diary, because apparently this version of her did too - and after a quick skim through, yoga had found that she was the most serious of the captain’s many revolving women…in fact, she was the only one who really had the ‘girlfriend’ title. There were far too many conflicting emotions about that to pick them all part then or now, so she just managed a half smirk up at him, taking out her earrings and asked, “Isn’t it polite to knock?”

Familiar

multirptrash​:

Christine had expected a lot of possible responses to that, but him having another woman? She stared at him, unmoving and unblinking for several long, agonizing seconds, before her face twisted into a pained, scornful glower, and she slapped him across the face, clean and hard, but what he would feel was not only the physical pain but the sharper betrayal she felt in her heart.

“I hope she knows what a miserable, self-sabotaging, woe-is-me excuse for a man she’s getting involved with in that case, Commander.” She shoved him roughly against the wall and once again grabbed him by the collar, this time her knuckles digging into the hot skin of his neck. “You’ll be back, on your knees, begging for me, because you know how I feel about you. And I guess that we deserve each other, because I’ll probably let you right back in.” She kneed him painfully in the hip before storming out.

Spock’s tall frame sagged heavily against the wall as she berated him and then turned on heel. He wasn’t proud of that particular deception, nor of the acute emotional anguish he’d felt from her. But more than ever, he wanted both to ensure that he and his friends were able to return to where they belonge and to keep the impostors who occupied their own ship from doing any more harm than they already had.

Elsewhere on the ship, Captain James Kirk was cooling his heels. Seeing Spock and Uhura together, even in a professional context, had put him on edge. Was Spock planning something? He’d denied any involvement with Uhura, of course. Kirk’s first officer was no dummy. That was the problem. If they ever found themselves truly at odds… and if she were involved… After debating whether or not to use his fancy computer game to eliminate Spock from the equation entirely, Kirk found himself at Uhura’s door. He didn’t bother to announce himself or request permission to enter—he knew the code, and anyway, he was the captain of this damned ship, wasn’t he? He looked the part, too…and knew it.

Spock

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Mini drawing of Spock that I drew in the note space of December 9th in my 2023 diary, which is the day that I watched this film for the first time.

A very late one this time. It would’ve been finished by the 9th this year if it wasn’t for the massive power cut that engulfed my entire street for 48 hours solid and meant that I couldn’t access the internet or charge my phone (which had all my references on) 🫠

This one went fairly smoothly through the whole process, the sketch didn’t need too much adjusting and the colouring went pretty well. The font was based off the original movie poster. I put way too much effort into the colourising the words Wrath and Khan though!

I chose to draw Spock from this movie for two reasons, one being the fact that it made sense after drawing Kirk for the day I watched TMP, the other being… anyone who’s seen the film will understand :)

Drawn with Lyra colouring pencils and B and HB graphite and mechanical pencils.

Couples Costume

Stefan Salvatore x Reader

Masterlist - Join My Taglist!

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries

Summary: Stefan is dead set against dressing up for Halloween, but his girlfriend might just have found a way to outplay him.

Word Count: 1,262

Category: Fluff

Requested by @cncownerxstefansalvatorefanxstay for a fluffy Halloween with Stefan! This prompt kinda possessed me for a minute until it was done being written, so I figured what better day to double up on fic posting than Friday the 13th? Hope you like it!

Putting work into an AI program without permission is illegal. You do not have my permission. Do not do it.

"Okay! What do you think? Nadja and Laszlo or Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? One is more fitting but the other is funnier."

I held up the costumes in question so Stefan, my boyfriend, could get a good look. He glanced up from his reading with a bewildered expression, his eyes scanning each of the costumes before landing on me with a frown.

"What is this for?" he asked. My mouth dropped open.

"For Halloween! Obviously! Come on, Stefan, we have to dress up."

"No. No, we don't," he said, a laughing smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as his eyes dropped back to his reading. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Are you seriously telling me you're not going to dress up with me for Halloween?"

"I... think I am telling you that, yeah."

"But what about the trick-or-treaters who come to the door! We want to be the cool people with awesome costumes, don't we?"

"Mmm.... no."

I sighed dramatically, letting both costumes drop to my sides. I narrowed my eyes at my boyfriend, but he didn't flinch, not looking up from his reading.

"I'll support you if you decide to dress up," he finally said. "But I'm not putting on a costume."

"Fine. I guess I can't force you," I said, flopping my arms dramatically as I turned away from Stefan, a smirk on my face. This was not over by a longshot.

A few hours later, as the sun started to set and it was time to get ready for trick-or-treaters, Stefan wandered out of the bathroom with his shirt off. We were hosting a big Halloween party later, so we needed to be dressed and ready for both.

"You decided not to dress up?" asked Stefan, running a suspicious eye over my outfit. I just shrugged.

"It's not as much fun if you don't do it with me."

Stefan smirked a little as he moved back towards he bed. "The guilt trip's not gonna work on me."

"Not even if I ramp it up to an eleven?"

He snorted, not bothering to respond as he surveyed the outfit I'd laid out for him on the bed. Once he was apparently satisfied the shirt wouldn't secretly turn into a ruffled monstrosity befitting Laszlo Cravensworth, he pulled it on and buttoned it up, then slipped on the gray pea coat I'd left with it.

With my heavy, light brown jacket and headband, my plan was officially complete. I smiled and stepped closer to Stefan, fixing his collar before running my hands through his hair a few times, spiking it up even more. When I'd finished, I stepped back and gave him a beaming smile.

"You look great," I said. He smiled, then leaned in to kiss me. We lingered for a minute before he pulled back.

"You look great too."

We shared a smile, then I held out a hand, which Stefan took.

"Come on, we have trick-or-treaters to greet."

I pulled him after me as we headed downstairs. Damon, Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie were setting up for the party, but I'd volunteered Stefan and I to answer the door for anyone who came by.

We didn't have to wait long before the doorbell rang. I smiled and grabbed the bowl of candy, Stefan right behind me as we opened the door. A group of kids with their high school-aged chaperon stood at the door beaming, candy baskets in-hand.

"Trick or treat!" they chorused. I smiled.

"You guys have some great costumes! What do we have, a vampire, a Jedi, Spock..."

"What are you dressed as?" asked a little girl towards the front. I beamed, mentally thanking her for the opening I'd been waiting for.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Stefan, ready to tell her we hadn't dressed up. I spoke up before he got the chance.

"We're Bella and Edward from Twilight!"

I felt Stefan tense next to me as realization washed over him, which only made me smile wider as the kids beamed.

"That's a good costume!" said the girl in the front.

"You look just like him," the boy next to her agreed, nodding at Stefan.

"Thanks! Let's get you guys your candy, your outfits deserve some extra treats."

We smiled and waved as we gave the kids their candy, and I noticed Stefan slipped the vampire an extra bar or two. We waved as they headed off, and as soon as I shut the door, Stefan turned to me, hands on his hips and a stern look on his face.

"Bella and Edward? Seriously?"

"Yeah!" I replied, not even a little bit phased. "It's a low key costume, enough that you didn't even realize you were wearing it, but I still get to do a couples costume with my boyfriend. It's the best of both worlds."

Stefan sighed a deep, heavy, long-suffering sigh.

"I'm changing before the party."

"No!" I cried, reaching out to grab his arm. He hadn't made to move away yet, but I wanted to be ready if he did. "Please wear it for the party too. Please? For me?"

I batted my eyelashes and gave Stefan my best adorable guilt-trip look. He stared back, his expression not budging an inch, until finally he sighed again, throwing his head back and staring at the ceiling.

"Fine."

"Yes! Thank you." I pulled him to me, and grudgingly, he wrapped his arms around my waist as a small smile tugged its way onto his face. "You're the best boyfriend ever, Stef."

"I know."

He smiled again, then leaned down to kiss me. I leaned into him, and I think we would've stayed that way a lot longer if we hadn't been interrupted by another ring of the doorbell.

Reluctantly, Stefan and I pulled apart, sharing a smile.

"We should probably get that," I said. He hummed, not quite letting me go yet.

"I don't know if I can. You're like my own personal brand of heroin."

I laughed, which got a beaming smile out of Stefan even as I finally slipped out of his grasp.

"I can't believe you paid enough attention when we watched the movies to remember that but not enough to realize I was putting you in the same costume Edward wore!"

Stefan shrugged. "Maybe I just wanted to let you have this one."

I paused, narrowing my eyes at Stefan to try to decide if he really had put up with the costume for me, knowing the whole time what I'd been doing, or if he was just messing with me. Before I could decide, he reached past me to swing the door open and another group of kids greeted us with smiles on their faces.

"Trick or treat!"

"Wow, another vampire costume. There seem to be a lot of those this year," he said, smiling at the kid in question. "I think yours is the best I've seen, though."

The kid absolutely beamed at the compliment, and I moved up next to Stefan as we chatted with the trick-or-treaters and handed out the candy. One of the kids actually guessed our costume this time, and Stefan was the one to tell them they were right, we were Bella and Edward. With his arm around me as we talked with each and every kid who came to the door, I could tell Stefan was warming up to the couple's costume idea, whether or not he'd been aware of what he was getting into in the first place.

I just hoped that warm feeling would be enough to carry him through whatever inevitable bad jokes Damon made at his expense all night once the kids were gone and the party began.

expending on the mlm pricefield thing (and i’m not talking about double exposure anymore), i think if pricefield had been one of the first mlm pairing to be openly queer in video games history, it would’ve been way more of a big deal back when the game was released and years later. i also think little to no people would be debating whether their relationship is platonic or not, and people would’ve been way faster at jumping to the conclusion that you were homophobic if you thought they were.

historically, the most popular mlm pairings (i’m thinking johnlock, kirk and spock from star trek, merlin and arthur, all the h*rry p*tter and marvel gay ships) have a way bigger fanbase and are way less denied than the wlw ones (i’m thinking supercop, emma swan and regina mills, betty and veronica from riverdale etc). (for the record, i looked up “queerbaiting” to make this post and have examples, and found like a dozens of mlm pairings and always the same few wlw ones…) AND it is way more socially acceptable to say “those two women have a platonic relationship” whereas, if you do the same with johnlock, for instance, you WILL get an angry twenty paragraphs long reply about how there was nothing platonic about it (even though John Watson married a woman).

my point is not “he married a woman so he wasn’t queer” my point is, whenever one part of a wlw pairing has a boyfriend, or a man who she shows a glimpse of interest in (*cough cough* Warren Graham *cough cough*), it is IMMEDIATELY used as ‘evidence’ that this character cannot be queer since she can be in a heterosexual relationship — which is an argument that, again, you will practically never find directed at a gay ship. and, again, the few people who do use this argument against mlm pairings are called ‘homophobic’.

AGAIN, i am not saying that you cannot ship Warren and Max or are homophobic if you do, i’m saying that if Chloe and Max had been two guys, people would’ve been so focused on them, on Max’s diary’s entries, and the two possible kisses they can share onscreen, and the flirting and implications in their relationship, and Chloe’s obvious attraction to Max, that grahamfield would’ve had a way smaller fanbase — or no fanbase at all. and people would’ve absolutely disregarded the fact that you can make Max romance Warren (who is a girl in this scenario). they would’ve seen Warren’s nearly one-sided flirting, and would’ve immediately gone “she (Warren) is in love with him (Max) and he doesn’t give a fuck” (and the kiss in the Two Whales would’ve been collectively ignored by the entire fandom, as is Mary Watson, or Pepper Potts, or Tonks, or Ginny Weasley).

but BECAUSE Max and Chloe are girls, people are still debating whether she is even queer or not by saying “if i make her romance Warren she experiences no attraction towards Chloe and therefore is straight” which is false, because the attraction is HERE. all you, as a player, get to decide is whether or not Max acts on it. and no matter how much evidence there is that Max is indeed romantically interested in Chloe, you will NEVER convince those people, because to them, the moment a woman and a guy interact in a non-platonic way, this woman has to end up with said guy, no matter how queer-coded her relationship with another woman is.

and now that pricefield is broken up, people who would’ve been rioting if it had been guys are calling people who are rightfully upset ‘dramatic’. just try and imagine the reaction of the Sherlock fandom if Sherlock was returning without Watson because “they argued off-screen and decided to stop seeing each other”. those guys aren’t childhood best friends, are never romantically involved, their fandom hasn’t been begging to have a glimpse of them together for ten years, and yet i can’t even imagine how angry people would be. all this fandom was asking was to at least not destroy Max and Chloe’s friendship, and look where we are now.

In another "random weird mclennon association"TM i was watching my share of star trek strange new worlds and in this episode a cadet or something is going crazy hearing voices and seeing ghosts and finally he dies but his name is Ramon, SAUL RAMON. This bit means nothing to normal people but we crazy beatle fans know the not-so-secret hamburg paul's name, and i thought oh that so weird but hey maybe is just some coincidence right, and then uhura and kirk of all people listen to this guy audio diary from his final days and there he cries because in his hallucinations he has seen someone he loves who seemed real as if HE HAD NEVER DIED and his name was JOHN, and I took that personally because come on, JOHN AND SAUL, and on top of that the episode ends with Spock and Kirk's first meeting while some sentimental song plays in the background.
