when i watched the star trek movies, i became enamoured with this uniform. my goal is to DIY it someday, but for now i wanted to study the pins and badges so i can make it easier for myself.
Watching Star Trek V for the first time the other day was such a wild ride from start to finish, but the main takeaway I’m left with was during that early campfire scene, Jim and Bones were absolutely steamed while trying to explain Row Row Row Your Boat to a very sober Spock.
And knowing what we know about Vulcan physiology and their resistance to alcohol, but their weakness to things like chocolate (due less in part to the cocoa content, but more largely because of the SUGAR…) well, it made the subsequent scene even funnier to me where Spock out of nowhere starts dissecting the song, sounding absolutely baked out of his gd mind 💀
“Captain…”
“Spock, we’re on leave, you can call me Jim :3”
“…Jim.”
“Yes, Spock? :3”
“Life is… not a dream… @_@”
“Go to sleep, Spock >_>”
(Don’t even start me on him doing his camping research, knowing he’d be bringing along a food substance that’d get him essentially drunk, and being absolutely fine with that. Poor man just wanted to try relaxing for once and join in with his favourite people 🥺💕)
But also McCoy losing his shit and having absolutely no patience with Spock followed by:
“Oh, I am sorry, doctor… Were we having a good time..? >_>”
Spock died, Came Back Wrong™, and he’s still burning you alive, Bones. Face it - after all that, he’s still the same guy lmaoooo
Thinkin about how in the leonard nimoy directed movie, the trio goes back in time to save whales, and in the william shatner directed movie, the trio befriend a cult leader and kill god
