Can't believe I've watched Return of the Archons at least five times and never noticed that Jim gave Bones his jacket to sleep on as an extra pillow, because Bones clearly insisted on taking the Uncomfortable Slab instead of the bunk beds. (It's also possible that they traded off first watch/second watch, which is why Jim is awake and at the window at the beginning of the scene, unless he insisted on staying up all night.) A very chivalrous action for your doctor who always sleeps with his right arm up over his head for some reason.

Thank you to @purpleenma for pointing out this crucial detail

I'm thinking about Gillian Taylor, lesbian (in my heart), standing on that stolen bird-of-prey on their way back to the 23rd century, and trying to figure out the correct way to (tactfully) ask if Kirk and Spock are gay.

Back in the 80s, she'd just assumed that they were gay. I mean, dressed like that? She'd also, however, assumed that they were on drugs, probably a hallucinogen of some kind, which - turned out to be not quite true. So, really, anything was fair game, now, and she no longer knew if they were gay. Maybe that's just how men in the 23rd century were with each other.

She tried to watch, to analyze their actions objectively, but with how busy they were making sure that the ship didn't explode, they weren't really interacting all that closely with one another, and she truly couldn't tell.

So instead she just stood there, next to Admiral Kirk, trying to find the right words to use, words which wouldn't be heard as an insult if she was wrong or if the 23rd century was no more enlightened about these sorts of things.

And then Dr. McCoy walked in and, casual as you please, said, "Jim, where the devil has your husband run off to?"

Husband. He said the word so easily, like it was - normal. Like it was safe and accepted, for a man, an admiral, even, to be gay. He didn't even glance at Gillian as he said it, never even seemed to consider that someone might react poorly. Maybe no-one ever did, in the 23rd century.

Everything sort of faded out of focus for Gillian, after that. She didn't hear another peep until McCoy, concerned, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked if she was alright.

She just smiled in response and told him that, yes, she was doing very well.

Because if Admiral Kirk could have a husband... that meant that she could have a wife.

Oh yes, she thought she'd be quite happy in the 23rd century.

This event is an opportunity for us all to share some music with each other!

🎶 Event Rules 🎶

Choose a prompt, find a song that makes you think of or relates to the prompt in some way, and post alongside some other bit of creative work!

‼️ Please don't just post the prompt and song alone! Try to explain yourself, or add some meta, or a gif, or some fan art, or a fic, or stills from the show, or a break down of the specific lyrics that move you. Doesn't have to be shit tonnes of work, just enough that we can understand your thinking and what the connection to the prompt is. I'm posting this at the start of June so you've got some time to gather your thoughts and prepare some songs and related work <3

Shipping is welcome. This is aimed at TOS but if you're vibing any of the other Treks I'm not gonna tell you off, go ahead and do your thing. Up to you how you link the song; spotify, youtube, embedded, just name it and let people find it themselves. All good ✨

Also, tag this blog when you post! I'll reblog everything to this blog

Please let me know if you're loving this event and I'll consider running a new bingo card sheet in a couple months

Reglog! Share with your friends! Follow this blog to let me know you're interested! ❤️

“Fandom is a Potluck Dinner… you’re invited!”

Hello friends, it’s that time of year again!

Grab a plate, pull up a chair, and consider yourself enthusiastically invited to StarTrekPotluck2025!

The challenge is to create a piece of fanwork that is food or drink themed, and based within the realms of the Star Trek universe.

If you’re interested in joining in, here’s what you need to know:

What do I do?

Pick a type of food or drink, a meal time or a place where nourishment is served/prepared, then create a fanwork around that place/event/object.

It can be any type of fanwork, for example: fanfic, gifs, fanvid, fanart, poetry, podfic… The only constraints are that it needs to be set within Star Trek universe (any series), and it must include the theme of food/drink. And while we're a fan of replicators, we kindly ask for no AI-created works.

When do I do it?

Choose a publishing date between 1st August and 14th August. We will fill up each slot, and if more people want to join in the fun, we will open double, then triple bookings. That way, we can enjoy up to three delicious fanworks every day!

(If you want to know which dates are still open, you can check the calendar in the blog header, or you can refer to our most recent sign-up round up.)

Sign-ups are now closed! For a list of all chefs, you can have a look at our final sign-up round-up.

How do I do it?

1. Pick a Star Trek fandom, or a mash-up of Trek fandoms. (Please do not submit crossovers with non-Star-Trek fandoms.)

2. Send an Ask to this blog with your chosen date, the Star Trek fandom(s) you’ve picked, and the type of fanwork you’ll be creating.

3. Message this blog for any questions / changes etc, your hosts @regionalpancake and @procrastinatorproject will be happy to help :)

4. Post your delicious fanwork on your chosen date.

5. Message this blog with the details of where your fanwork is posted, and tag your post with #startrekpotluck2024

6. If posting on AO3, add your fanwork to the StarTrekPotluck2025 Collection.

7. Follow this blog for updates!

I told my AARP eligible dad who is such a huge Star Trek fan that he has met George Takei in person, has visited Riverside Iowa (future birthplace of Kirk), and has a Spock oven mitten that Spirk is canon he simply said an Owen Wilson style "Wow" like he had received the copyright to the Mona Lisa by the president while being given the Nobel Prize in every category

Happy McKirk Day to whatever the heck this is

[pavel-chekov-appreciator]

I don’t remember writing this but apparently at almost 3:30 am I had an idea made of pure gold

[pendragonsclotpole]

why are all the big “insert name slash ship is canon” events always four years apart in november? like it’s only happened twice so far but twice is more than i expected

what’s on the slate for the end of the month in four years, a ten episode merlin series reboot with a merthur confirmation and reunification in the modern day??????

fuck, imagine if it’s hannibal season four. double fuck, what does that mean for the election??

Live Long and Pinup Kirk and Spock Calendars For Sale!!!

Back in May, our mods dreamed of someday seeing Kirk and Spock in pinup model poses. Wouldn't it be fun, we thought, if we made a classic Pinup Calendar with our beloved Space Husbands?

The response from fan artists was incredible! Our original idea of a single 12 month calendar filled up in one hectic day. We bumped it up to an 18 month calendar - and that not only filled up but left us with a waiting list. So we decided to make two 18-month calendars, one each for Spock and Kirk. We had to close submissions after 48 hours because we were once more full.

After months of work by over 30 artists, we proudly announce that the Live Long and Pinup 2025-2025 18 month calendars are for sale!

These are real, printed Spirk pinup calendars you too could put in your home or gift to a nerdy friend!

They're chock full of original Pinup themed art by nearly three dozen fan artists.

Click here for Kirk

Click here for Spock

We chose Lulu.com because

They let us set the price AT COST; we are a literal non-profit project! No mod will ever touch your money.

They ship internationally

They have good reviews by other users

The final result is surprisingly affordable!

If you can find a seasonal Lulu discount code, use it! We're making $0, so it has zero impact on us.

The shipping dates say 10 business days, but our trial calendars came in much earlier! The closer we get to Christmas, the more accurate that 10 day estimate will be, so keep that in mind if you want to give one as a gift.

Because this is Print on Demand, there is no worry about running out. If you covet one for yourself but can’t afford to buy one until January or February, don’t worry. The Lulu shop will still be there.

From December 1-18, we'll post two fics a day inspired by the incredible Pinup themed fanart.

January here is the raciest page in the entire set. There is no full frontal nudity (though there are a few butts) and no graphic depictions of sex. In the spirit of Pinups, there are plenty of sultry poses (think rated M on AO3).

The mod team is so incredibly proud of our hard working artists and writers. It's a joy seeing something we all made together become a real, physical object you can hold.

We invite you to share in the fun with us, both with the printed calendars and the upcoming three dozen fresh new fics!
