okay maybe a hot take but like. people going "spirk is canon now omg!!!" after that short film that just dropped - you do realize that like. it's not any more canon than it has been for like, forever, right?

they held hands and watched the sunset together. big whoop.

yes vulcans have a whole hand-holding thing, but like. kirk and spock have held hands before, this is not? any different? than any of that???

like people are out here screaming "OMG SPIRK IS CANON AFTER 57 YEARS" guys if holding hands and staring into each other eyes while the music swells is good enough to call it "canon" then spirk has been canon since the motion picture came out in 1979.

#to be clear: it was fine!#but like. this didn't 'make spirk canon'#either it's already been canon for like FORTY YEARS #or it's not actually canon #either way this short film didn't change anything?#so i don't know why people are freaking out #spirk #star trek #not tagging the hate rn #the thing with 'canon' is that it has to be UNDENIABLE #gene roddenberry literally invented a word so that spock could call kirk his lover without actually saying 'lover'#KIRK LITERALLY ONCE SAID THAT TO NOT SAVE SPOCK WOULD COST HIM HIS *SOUL*#and that wasn't fucking canon enough for some people #so y'know.#this isn't gonna change the minds of anyone who will claim that kirk and spock aren't gay and gene never intended it #and the people who already think it was there and intentional ALREADY HAVE MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE #quite frankly they need to either physically kiss on the lips in a way that no one can construe as pressured/mind controlled #or literally say out loud 'we're in gay romantic love with each other'#and EVEN THEN there will be people who don't believe it or insist it doesn't count because gene's dead!!!
