Kirk and Spock ⭐️

(and bonus behind the scenes because look at them!!)

Broke: vulcans don’t play games, as they are illogical

Woke: vulcans absolutely play games as resting so as to recuperate after exertion is highly logical and they have a marked preference for the Terran game, chess

Third eye slaming open at 4:27am: vulcans love poker. They won’t mention it and they’ll justify it but after first contact they descended on poker like a murder of starving ravens as a unified cultural phenomenon

My Star Trek friends, reblog with your favourite most ‘out of context’ Star Trek image

I’ll start:

[gaythingsinstartrektos]

I can not stress enough that in Star Trek, Amanda Grayson being an incredibly loving wife AND shitty parent is a feature, not a bug. She loves Sarek with her whole heart. And as much as she loves Spock, every single time she has to choose between them, she'll back Sarek. Spock grew up knowing his mom loved him, but that she also did not understand him and would never have his back.

Before people in the mainstream even had the vocabulary to describe what they were seeing, they understood on a gut level that Spock was a neurodivergent, mixed race adult son of two incredibly charismatic and successful parents.

There are so many layers of relatability here.

A surprising lot of people in very loving and devoted marriages aren't great parents. An unsurprising lot of powerful people with prestigious careers also aren't great parents.

Folks who grew up with parents who were great at their jobs and devoted to one another but who just couldn't relate to or understand their kids could see themselves in Spock. Moreover, he demonstrated that if they took a path radically different from what their parents wanted, they could become incredibly successful and even well liked in a whole different sphere.

Most of all, for folks who could see how much their parents adored one another but never felt like that love extended to them, there is something profound in the way Kirk looks at Spock like he hangs the stars in the sky. He's a source of hope that even if you grew up as your family's ugly duckling, if you get out from under their influence you can find someone who will perceive you as a swan.

do you have a favorite tos episode that isn't amok time or the city on the edge of forever? Personally, I can watch I, Mudd over and over for the scenes where they act all silly

Aaaaaahh!!! Hi nonnies!

Mudd is an excellent choice, as are the others 😁My favorite is along similar lines, really. The Naked Time is still my favorite!

On the one hand, yes of course things get so dramatic they verge on silly, but the pure agony of it all for Mr.Spock and we cannot forget the birth of one of my favorite reaction pictures ever:

Though thank you for reminding me of the glory that is Mudd's stash and general....attire. Magnificent, truly!

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[gaythingsinstartrektos]

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

something about me is that sometimes when i’m sad i’m like: “well maybe if you drew spock for a while you’d calm down”. and then i do and it works.
