I went to a talk thing from a disney storyboard artist and i asked her how she got good at it and she no joke said ‘well i like to reference star trek deep space nine scripts’ and like 5 classmates who were there made half aborted screaming noises and pointed at me and i was just like SHUT UP AHUT UP AHUT AP SHU—T UP SHUT UP[

Something I love about Star Trek is that they could literally just do an episode about Spock dealing with hanahaki disease and it would literally be canon and make sense, and would be written by Theodore Sturgeon

me when someone tags something as tos but then mentions jim and bones at the academy together

Not that big of a digital artist but here's a quick sketch i made. Spock is drinking hot cocoa because they're at a bar. Maybe it's a bar on Vulcan. And maybe what bothers them is The Ballad of Solkar the Slut, who knows. Maybe I'll draw a better drawing another day

like a solid 60% of weird fandom tropes were invented by women who needed slightly more avant garde ways to fuck spock.... wanting to fuck spock is in many ways a load bearing pillar of fandom like if u took it away the source code would just break theres like a molecule of wanting to fuck spock or reaction to everyone wanting to fuck spock within the heart of fanfic all fanfiction is about wanting to fuck spock except fanfic about wanting to fuck spock which is about women in stem

the joy of explaining an absolutely batshit insane Star Trek episode to a non-fan and getting to end it with “and it is never mentioned again”

the number one rule for watching star trek the original series is that you CANNOT under any circumstances go into an episode expecting it to be Good. if it ends up being one of the Good ones, this is purely coincidence and you should not expect it to happen again. the main takeaway from any tos episode should be that it could've stood to lose maybe 20 minutes of runtime, and that's part of the charm. you HAVE to understand this to make the most of it.

Imagine there’s this huge, extremely famous franchise. You’ve never experienced the source material yourself but know of its existence through cultural osmosis. You know that the two leads are extremely recognisable characters of pop culture and that all of tumblr says they’re in love. Think Destiel Supernatural, sns Naruto, stuff like that except WAY more ancient and famous. One day, you decide, hey, why not actually experience the source material? Why not actually watch/read spn/Naruto/whatever for myself, just so I can say I have? So I can know what the fuss is all about? So you do and then BAM. 

There’s a third guy. 

It’s Dean and Castiel and a third guy. It’s Naruto and Sasuke and a third guy. The third guy is almost as important as the two leads, he gets almost as much screen time, his presence is essential to the relationship dynamic of the main characters, every single fan of the franchise is OBSESSED with him and won’t shut up about him. He’s the best character. You’ve never once heard of him.

Pretty surreal, right? Anyway, Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy—
