Do you think nail techs are considered sex workers in Vulcan culture

[teaboot]

I just found out that one of my siblings- who is nigh-vulcan in their pragmatism to the point thay every pair of pants they own are the same identical pair shipped directly from the factory, and once described their preferred home aesthetic as, "needs a mattress", has been purchasing the same brand of soap in a single annual bulk order in a wildflower scent because they like it

And this is probably meaningless to you, but you must understand. I love this sibling. This sibling is my best friend. But so long have they been a monk-like beacon of simple, straightforward, practical efficiency that I feel like I've learned something scandalous about a beloved public figure

I feel like I just walked into the shittiest strip club in town and saw Bob Ross making it rain, do you understand

Wildflower soap?????

I wish we saw more casual diversity among Vulcans in regards to... well, everything: fashion, art, history, geography, language, religion and philosophy, occupations, familial units, and logical styles and emotional management, and so on. The monoculture that "Star Trek" tends towards is both unrealistic and kind of boring.

(I think that my ideal "Star Trek" show would have a minimum of two matching non-humans in the main crew who are from opposite sides of their planet; these two alien coworkers have almost NOTHING in common. It immediately creates compelling character dynamics.)

Anyway, even within the specific Surakian Logic sect that Spock and his family seem to belong to, there's still opportunity for fun, divisive hobbies among this particular group of Vulcans. We can have judgey Vulcans looking at other Vulcans' weird, harmless antics and saying, "What illogical behavior," while the other Vulcans are judging them back for being illogical in their own opinion. Let Vulcans be REAL nerds: I think that pre-Surak historical reenactment is not an uncommon hobby, both casual LARPing and hardcore reenactment.

It's educational to spin and weave and sew your own pre-Surakian garments! It's educational to forge your own weaponry! It's grounding, like meditation! It is humbling to truly realize the complicated labor involved in fabrication. Even when they were surrendering to their emotional urges, you know, Vulcan ancestors were not completely illogical: they knew how to fashion a comfortable garment well-suited to the desert. Camping in the wilderness and foraging for food connects oneself to nature, teaches about history, and settles oneself in the present.

Also, it's good physical exercise and emotionally cathartic to beat the shit out of each other with foam-wrapped lirpa, screaming at the top of your lungs. It's very logical. There's a medical team on standby, reading on their pads and drinking tea.

You beam down in the wrong part of the desert at the right time and find a bunch of scantily-clad Vulcan warriors (outfits depend on the chosen time period and location) (of all genders) shrieking and rolling in the dirt, until a timer goes off, and then the scheduled mock-battle is over and everyone helps each other up. (Depends how hardcore the group is, of course.) (Also, yeah, obviously, some of these groups have a hook-up culture attached / embedded.) Two bleeding guys who were previously punching each other in the face salute each other and part ways, one to go write a new archeological paper based on his findings here ("Fascinating") and the other to his low-level government desk job ("Most invigorating exercise").

If this happens anywhere near where people live, then the neighbors are shaking their heads and saying to each other, "I don't know how anyone could come to their conclusions and call it logical. Their foundational premises must be flawed." 😐 Some of them while closely watching the entire scandalous affair through binoculars and telescopes, of course. 🤔

okay okay okay. we need to talk about the Vulcan ear sensitivity thing. I think you're onto something in that they wouldnt be able to get their ears pierced, like this is silly but if they pierced their ears taht's probably very scandalous, like nipple piercings for humans?? but also like their ears are probably sensitive in a good way too, like imagine having to touch spock's ears for some reason and he almost moans like um that's hot

AHHH THIS IS MY FIRST STAR TREK REQUEST AND YOURE THE ONLY ONE SO PLEASE SEND MORE!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

OK so...Spock damn near creams his pants when you even get close to his ears like if you need to whisper something to him he's all😮‍💨💦🫨

AND THE WHOLE PIERCINGS BEING SCANDALOUS?!?!? THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA WHAT?

"Spock" you called out across the room and he walked over to you "yes lieutenant?" He asked voice calm and collected. You stood up on your tip toes to whisper the question into his ear "Dr. McCoy always asks for Ji-" the sound of Spocks voice interrupted you "aughh..mm" you backed away from him "a-are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I?.." Spocks cheeks flushed green "N-No luitenate..I just Vulcan ears are.. sensitive...." you looked up at him embarrassed "Oh.."

PLEASE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW BIG OF A DEAL YOU ARE BC YOURE MY FIRST STAR TREK ASK SOOOO SEND MORE NOW!!😍😍

Star Trek has permanently altered how I view people touching hands in media because of yk. The Vulcan ‘hand touch = kiss’ thing. Which can be incredibly annoying especially when I see fanart where two characters are touching hands in any way and I immediately think “ohohohoho so scandalous” when no. it really isn’t.

But it also makes me seem like an incredibly,,, horny? person from like the 1600s when touching hands before marriage was an ‘immediately going to hell’ kind of sin. Anyway all that’s to say is I am SLUT SHAMING every single person who has EVER held hands in a romantic sense before MARRIAGE do you even KNOW what that MEANS /j

Note: Here have a little TOS Spirk ficlet!

Morning Routine

Kirk was already heading to the bridge, having skipped the mess to have a quick breakfast in his quarters, when he saw Spock marching toward him and wearing a smile so subtle anyone else would have missed it completely.

“Nope!" Jim raised his hands either in surrender or defense, he wasn’t sure which. “No, no absolutely not, Spock! Not today!”

Spock stopped short and tilted his head, all innocence. “Captain?”

“I know your game, mister.” Kirk wagged a finger at him as Spock approached. He backed up a few steps, relieved at least that the corridors were still empty this early. “I know what you’re about to do! You’re gonna say something that’s gonna have me blushing and riled up all day on the bridge and I won’t have it! Now you’ve done it twice this week already! Enough’s enough!”

“Captain.” Spock narrowed his eyes. “Jim. I do not know to what you refer?”

“I see.” Kirk leaned against the wall and Spock stepped in yet closer. There was still a whole hour to go before the beginning of their shifts and they were both more than happy to spend it like this. “I see how it is, Mr. Spock. One day we’re necking in your quarters and the next thing I know you’re calling me Jim during work hours-”

“Our shifts do not begin for fifty seven minutes-”

“Giving me your little bedroom eyes-”

“Sir, if one of us is guilty of so-called bedroom eyes, it is certainly you-”

“If things go on like this, soon we’ll be scandalizing poor Chekov right there on the bridge.”

“I am told Chekov won the wager regarding our inevitable coupling. I doubt he would have any serious objections.”

Kirk scowled, but his smile contradicted any ill feeling. “And now your jokes are even getting better. It’s alarming, Spock.”

“Captain, I do not want to cause any embarrassment or, as you have termed it, butterflies this morning. I was simply reading a fascinating Vulcan text after my mediation and I thought you might be interested to hear a recitation. It is verse from the poet T’Pola.” He blinked at Kirk, hands clasped behind his back, looking suspiciously agreeable.

Standing this close to Spock, Kirk was already experiencing the aforesaid “butterflies” and he cleared his throat, crossing his arms in front of him as if he might ward off the inconvenient thrill of Spock leaning in, batting his purple shaded eyes in some mysterious way that seemed utterly guileless. 

“Oh. Hmm.” Kirk nodded, his gaze drifting to Spock’s lips. “Vulcan poetry? Um, well.. Can’t be that saucy, I suppose. Sure. Go ahead. I’d like to hear it.”

Spock spoke in low and purring tones, close enough to kiss Jim’s ear: “T'nash-veh ashaya nam-tor wuh yel…au min-tor na' nash-veh.”

He leaned back and watched Kirk, who blushed scarlet, his mouth hanging open, his eyes blinking slowly. “Uh…ah. Hmm. And um…what…how does that…translate then?”

“My love is the sun,” Spock said softly. “He shines for me.”

“Ah…”

“I will see you on the bridge shortly then, Captain?”

“Mm. Mmhmm.”

Kirk watched Spock walk away which was almost as pleasant to him as watching him walk in his direction, just as Bones approached, looking vaguely concerned. “Jim? What’s the matter with you? You got a fever? You look like a summer tomato.”

“He did it again,” Jim sighed, shaking his head. “He goddamn did it again.”

the idea of Sarek and Winona being parents in law to jim and Spock in aos makes me crack up so much. I desperately want to know what they think of each other and each other’s kid

OH MY GOD, the potential for absolute chaos here is delicious. Sarek and Winona as in-laws to Jim and Spock in AOS? It’s like the ultimate cosmic sitcom waiting to happen. Imagine the sheer awkwardness of those family dinners, the quiet judgment from Sarek, and Winona’s no-nonsense attitude. I live for it.

Okay, so first off—Sarek and Winona’s dynamic. These two couldn’t be more different if they tried. Sarek, who’s all about logic, diplomacy, and keeping emotions tightly locked down, vs. Winona, who’s a badass Starfleet officer, used to dealing with high-stakes situations and probably way more chill and pragmatic. I imagine Winona looking at Sarek and being like, “I’ve raised two kids by myself, buddy. Logic isn’t getting you out of family obligations.” And Sarek, in turn, probably finds her a bit… brash, but at the same time, he respects her resilience and what she’s been through, especially losing George. They’d have this weird mutual respect, but every conversation would feel like a standoff between human pragmatism and Vulcan logic.

Now, as for Sarek and Jim… Oh man. Sarek’s probably equal parts impressed and bewildered by Jim. Here’s this human who embodies everything Sarek thinks is chaotic—brash, reckless, constantly throwing himself into danger—and yet, he’s undeniably brilliant and has managed to pull off things no one else could, including winning Spock’s heart. I imagine Sarek being low-key scandalized at first. He’s like, “Spock, out of all the logical, disciplined, and reserved individuals in the galaxy, you chose this?” But over time, Sarek would grudgingly admit (because Vulcans don’t like to admit anything) that Jim complements Spock in ways no one else could. Jim challenges Spock, pushes him to embrace his emotions, and at the same time, keeps up with Spock intellectually. Sarek might never fully get Jim, but he can’t deny the impact Jim has on his son’s life.

Winona and Spock, on the other hand? I think she’d find Spock fascinating. Winona’s a scientist, so she’d appreciate his intellect and curiosity, but at the same time, she probably finds his Vulcan demeanor hilarious. You just know Winona’s the type to crack a joke or make some offhand comment about Spock’s serious nature, and Spock’s standing there with one eyebrow raised like, “This is illogical.” And Winona’s like, “Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me now, so get used to it.” She’d tease him gently but also show her appreciation for how deeply Spock cares for Jim, even if Spock’s Vulcan half doesn’t let him express it in the usual human ways.

But let’s not forget that Winona is fiercely protective of Jim. She’s been through a lot, and her relationship with Jim is probably a bit distant due to her career and the loss of George, but she loves her son. So, if Spock ever hurt Jim or made him feel less than (whether intentional or not), you just know Winona would pull Spock aside and be like, “I don’t care if you’re half Vulcan, you make him cry and you’ll have to answer to me.” And Spock, who is all about protecting Jim, would take that seriously. There’s a weird tension there, but it’s rooted in mutual respect.

As for Jim and Spock’s views on their respective in-laws? Oh, it’s gold. Jim is probably terrified of Sarek at first because he knows that Spock’s father is this imposing, logical, almost untouchable figure, but over time, I think he’d relax and probably even start to tease Spock about it. He’d be like, “C’mon, Spock, your dad’s secretly impressed by me, I just know it,” and Spock would respond with some dry comment about Jim’s human delusions. Meanwhile, Spock respects Winona because she’s accomplished and driven, much like his own mother, but the human emotions and human parenting styles probably make him a bit uneasy. He’s like, “This woman brought Captain Kirk into the world… but her methods seem… unusual.”

And then, of course, you have Amanda Grayson in the mix somewhere, being the actual glue that holds this weird in-law situation together. Amanda, who probably loves Jim instantly because she sees how happy he makes Spock, and she knows what it’s like to be in a relationship with a Vulcan. She’s out here giving Jim tips on how to handle Vulcan emotional repression, all while being the bridge between Sarek’s stoicism and Winona’s more relaxed, human approach to family. Amanda would probably be the one making sure no one actually kills each other at the dinner table.

In conclusion: the comedy of errors, the drama, the tension. I’m imagining Jim and Spock rolling their eyes at each other after every family gathering, Jim going, “Your dad is terrifying,” and Spock replying with, “Your mother is… persistent.” It’s the kind of dynamic where, after a few years, they’ve all settled into this odd, begrudging acceptance of each other’s quirks, but those first few encounters? Absolutely priceless.

Yuris (ST:ENT) x Reader

[A/N: This is smut, so 18+ ONLY, MINORS DNI!!!]

Warnings: Doctor/patient relationship, interspecies sex, Human/Vulcan sex, fingering, fingering wearing medical gloves, oral sex (female receiving), praise kink, mentions of mind melds, he’s giving her a “checkup” iykwim. *winkwink*

~*~

All things considered, his unofficial exile was pleasant. He may no longer be able to practice medicine on the Vulcan homeworld, but Dr. Yuris was not displeased with where his honesty had taken him. Earth was a beautiful planet. He’d hoped to visit one day, and now he had the distinct honor of being allowed to tend to its inhabitants’ health.

At least he was no longer regarded with disgust. The Humans had no reason to believe him unclean or deviant. As such, they’d been cordial, even welcoming to him when he arrived. Yuris did his best to successfully treat and care for every patient who entered his office.

He supposed that was the reason his current actions seemed so scandalous. Being intimate with a patient in his own exam room was already scandalous, but they were even more so given his status.

“Yuris, please,” she breathed as his fingers swirled slowly and precisely around her clit. The Doctor was fully cognizant of the effect he was having on her.

They’d been intimate a few times before, but this was the first instance where they were taking the rather serious risk of doing so here. All it took was one misdirected patient or nurse who required a signature, and Yuris could be banned from practicing medicine altogether.

But he’d wanted to try this. He’d come so very close to begging her to allow him to please her here, but ultimately such an action hadn’t been necessary. His lover shared his desperation...and his desire for taking a risk.

She whimpered so brokenly when he pulled his gloved hand from between her legs that he had to kiss her to keep her quiet - not that such an action was unpleasant for him, of course. Kissing her was never anything but the highest honor and privilege.

“Breathe, ashaya. You have been so patient,” he murmured against her neck. Yuris had delayed her orgasm twice already, but he would not do so again. They had already been there for slightly longer than he’d anticipated, so he needed to make her come quickly. Given how she was trembling in his arms and spreading her legs wider already, he knew it wouldn’t be difficult to get her there.

The Vulcan dropped to his knees, coaxed her to the edge of the medical bed, and kissed his way up her inner thighs.

“Doctor?” He looked up at her seemingly innocent tone, and raised an eyebrow. “Thank you for giving me such a thorough examination. It’s reassuring to know that I have such a consummate professional who’s dedicated to ensuring my continued good health.”

Naughty girl.

“You are very welcome. Patients who actively seek to maintain their health as you do should be commended,” he murmured. “Allow me to reward you.”

She was forced to bite her lip as his mouth met the sweet drips between her thighs. Yuris knew she couldn’t cry out for him, but he would still make sure she was absolutely shattered by the time she walked out of his office.

[swimmingwolf59]

Writer's ask - 12, 22

12. What fic was the most difficult to writte? Did you finish it?

Probably Familiar Fluidity, my disco elysium fic, because I had to come up with and code a choose your own adventure, which I've never done before. I DID finish it tho lol!! And I'm super proud of how it turned out, I hope people are enjoying it 🥰

22. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene.

Ahhh, it's so hard to pick a favorite because I like a lot of my writing this year lol, but I went with this one because it's sweet, funny, and also ever since I watched Enterprise and they said that a Vulcan letting someone know their age is very intimate information, I have just laughed and laughed about the scene in journey to Babel where McCoy goes up to Sarek like SO AMBASSADOR ABOUT YOUR AGE-- this is from my Sarek&McCoy + spones fic First Impressions!

“Spock,” McCoy says, grinning from ear to ear as he slides his hands down to Spock’s hips, “how old are you?”

Spock turns back to him, his eyebrow sailing into his hairline. “As my doctor, you are well aware of my age, Leonard.”

“I’m trying to be intimate with you, my dear Mister Spock,” McCoy hums. “On Vulcan, I hear it’s quite the scandalous thing, asking someone their age.”

Spock stares at him, obviously trying to calculate where McCoy is going with this. He’s absolutely right to be suspicious.

“I believe your father likened it to a kink negotiation,” McCoy adds, and laughs as Spock sends him a nasty look.

“And why were you discussing such things with my father?” Spock asks frostily. He doesn’t step out of McCoy’s embrace this time, however, so he must not be as offended as before.

“Oh, I can’t share that information, I’m afraid,” McCoy says, pretending to be remorseful. “Doctor-patient confidentiality.”

Spock looks very displeased with this information, and his grip tightens slightly around McCoy. “Do you always discuss such things with your patients?”

“Oh, all the time,” McCoy says, waggling his eyebrows to let Spock know that he’s definitely not serious. “Only with the really attractive ones, though.”

“I fail to understand what you find so attractive about my father,” Spock huffs. Then, however, he cups McCoy’s face with his hands, rubbing his thumbs gently along a few of McCoy’s psi points. His voice is unbelievably soft when he says, “To answer your question, Leonard, I am 38.675, in Earth years.”

McCoy blinks at him, and then blinks again. He can’t do the math in his head to figure out if the .675 part is correct, but the 38 part absolutely is.

If he gives you an honest answer, then you will know the nature of your relationship.

A wide, happy, carefree grin stretches across McCoy’s face, and he bounces up on his toes to kiss Spock, all tongue. Spock hums, kissing him back with both his lips and his hands as his fingers trail down along McCoy’s neck and ears.

[lazarish]

Summer: [sighs] This is all so- He was right behind me. I was sitting beside it, and I couldn’t even-

Cinder: In your defence, you were dodging fireballs.

Summer: [laughs] It’s a miracle he moved fast enough to save it from Vulcan, to be honest.

Cinder: Now that would have been a scandal. Sapphire might have had an actual stroke.
