Novelty Friends Central Perk LEGO playset: $60

Being awoken at 5am by said playset crashing to the floor into its zillion constituent pieces by a hobbit cat trying to jump onto a shelf he doesn't fit on: priceless

Star Trek IV fabric??!? 🐳🐳

simultaneously incoherently excited about the possibility of top surgery

and

feeling guilty for not just resolving to keep enduring the pain + self-hatred and using that obscene sum of money on charitable donations or my niblings' education or something more selfless/helpful to the world

(and trying not to even think about the fact that I've never been under anaesthesia before so deep deep down I'm probably also mortally horrified by the prospect of being operated on)

lying awake all night thinking/crying about the time someone told me to my face that I look like a troll, then went [even further] out of their way to clarify that they didn't mean a troll doll (i.e. endearingly ugly) but rather the trolls of, like, Norse mythology or folk/fairy tales that live under bridges and eat goats and wayward children or whatever

When you’re at the grocery store and the paper goods aisle is all, “Wanna throw a party with cheap original series Starfleet-colored napkins and utensils? We can make that happen.”

From the padd of a Kirk/Spock archivist/scholar... (abandon all hope, etc. etc.)

Kirk and Spock are married before TOS begins (love/t'hy'la at first sight and all) (note: timeline-wise, the first episode of season 1 is probably somewhere at the end of the first/beginning of the second of their five years). They aren't able to have their Vulcan marriage bond officially recognized until after "Amok Time" (can't be legally bonded to each other until Spock's legal ties to T'Pring are dissolved), but they first get together/start courting somewhere around six months into the mission, then they get [Human/Earth] married around the one-year mark.

Neither of The Husbands falls in love with anyone else, and neither of them falls out of love with the other, throughout the events of TOS and the films (and any of the off-screen in-between years, for that matter). Each of them opts to avoid the use of violence whenever possible, hence—as we see several times with Kirk and at least two or three times with Spock—their frequent use of romantic/sexualized tactics to work their way out of the unfortunate situations they, the ship, and the crew manage to get into. They have agreed with one another behind closed doors that anything even vaguely sexual or romantic that either of them has to do with a third party while on duty for the purposes of gaining information, protecting the ship/crew/each other, etc. means nothing and is not worth getting jealous, upset, or hurt about. (Nevertheless, Kirk often gets very jealous and possessive despite their understanding [Human emotions being Like That], but it always works out alright because Spock is Very Good at bringing him comfort and reassurance.)

Neither of The Husbands ever has or ever would willingly or knowingly cheat/be unfaithful to the other. Any instances on-screen of perceived infidelity are the results of manipulating substances being nonconsensually inflicted upon or administered to them (e.g. Spock in "This Side of Paradise," Kirk in "Elaan of Troyius," etc.); injury (cf. Kirk in "The Paradise Syndrome"); assault (don't EVEN get me started on "Wink of an Eye," I will literally throw hands with anyone who claims Kirk isn't r*ped in that episode); and poor editing, omission of context, and/or recorded logs being misinterpeted and thus mistranslated by the Historians and Documentarians behind the compilations of The Husbands' adventures [originally archived on Cheese Slice Data Cards™] into 21st-century Earth dialects on "film" (which we refer to as "Star Trek" and "canon") (e.g. when one listens carefully to the relevant logs/incidental recordings and understands not only the Starfleet Standard being spoken but also the contexts, vocal nuances, and conversational styles of each of The Husbands individually—as well as the intimate quirks and habits of their interpersonal interactions, debates, and banter—one learns that Kirk never actually said he was *in love with* Edith Keeler, but merely that he loved her *as he loved his crew* [i.e. as a friend or subordinate to be protected], but some goofball [perhaps a Kirk-drift-brainwashed cis/het gatekeeping dudebro Premise denier??? scotoma and all, you know 🤷] either misinterpreted or misrepresented him when reconstructing the lost and/or damaged Starfleet archival footage from 1930s New York).

As for the end of the first five-year mission: I have a long set of WIPs *archival documents yet to be chronologically compiled and edited* which explains all of this, but... The Husbands remained married/bonded throughout Spock's kolinahr (which he "failed" deliberately); put on a dramatic act for the (non-senior) crew when he returned in TMP (because our boys love to cause a scene and give their crew stuff to whisper about); and, once the V'Ger crisis was behind them, explained everything to their friends and everybody on the ship had a terrific, hearty end-of-episode tableau-type laugh about it. Any and all theories about them having a falling out, running away, separating, divorcing, and some asinine rumor about Kirk and Lori Ciana being an item, etc. are/were merely deliberate [albeit temporary] artifice [because Drama Queens]/avoidance of invasive journalism (re: Spock's two-year sabbatical on Vulcan); deliberate meddling with reporters as a joke to keep their private lives private (cf. the infamously misunderstood sarcasm of Kirk's "oh yeah I totally love girls *cough cough* 🙄" remark); and sensationalist tabloid journalism meant to misinform the public (i.e. us) about their future-history (re: breakup, affair, divorce, and/or the utterly outrageous Wife Theory). [archivist's note: future-history???? 🤔🤔]

Hopefully this clears up any questions, concerns, gripes, complaints, or doubts which may still persist regarding the history and mythology behind the One True Pairing of all time.

Thought about this today and now I’m interested:

[jimkirkachu]

Wtf, even just browsing job sites / listings / descriptions is enough to make me nauseous with anxiety and depression. When, why, and how did I ever become such a useless and pathetic mess?

[jimkirkachu]

From a few years ago… but they’re well-preserved so I get them out every spring! (Keychain Itty Bitty Kirk and Spock fitting in the extra slots is just an added bonus…) If you celebrate it, happy Easter! 🌷🐰🐤🥚🕊🦋
