gentle reminder that “gay panic” is not a cutesy way of describing a gay character freaking out over another character or their sexuality. gay panic is a legal defense tactic used in the US until very recently to get homophobes out of facing consequences for killing or assaulting queer people. it is neither cute nor funny.
if you didn’t know this, that’s ok, now you do! proceed accordingly.

broke: the makeup in tos was just stage makeup and it was never intended to be seen in high definition, therefore we should assume the characters weren’t meant to be seen as wearing makeup
woke: spock woke up every day and chose to slay in that purple eyeshadow and everyone else thought he looked so hot that they started doing it too
