The "Jean-Luc Picard attended Sarek's son's wedding as a cadet" factoid is actually a misconception.

Spock was indeed present, but wasn't the one getting married. He was in fact walking his daughter Saavik down the aisle in a human fashion, as the wedding was between her and human doctor Joanna McCoy.

Joanna & Saavik first kiss, human style

Joanna: *kisses saavik, then pulls away*

Saavik: most peculiar...

Joanna: do you want me to stop?

Saavik: do it again-

I've seen you reblog post about Saavik/David, but you also post often about Saavik/Joanna, so what's your stance on shipping with Saavik?

That's right! I like content with both ships! As a matter of fact, when it comes to shipping, in Saavik's case, I think there many ways to interpret the source material and create shippy content.

Saavik/ David ? They were written as a spirk next-gen, the tension is there and they are have lots of cute moments

Saavik/Joanna? Obviously we have far less canon content, but they also fits very well and I love the potential

Saavik/Gillian Taylor, Saavik/Demora Sulu, Saavik/Xon her fiancé in the comics? All valid takes and fun explorations!

Even Saavik/Original Character content is fun to see.

Of course, I have my own headcanons, which contradicts some of these ships, but the way I decide to contextualise this character in my own art/fic doesn't mean I can't enjoy it in other ways through other people's content!

Truly, the only ship I can't stand is Saavik/Sp*ck- and that's because even outside the books, putting a student and her teacher twice her age in a relationship icks me. And adding the context he raised her? Even worst.

But even then, people are allowed to do their things. When I just don't like something I don't seek it and don't interact with it. (That includes not wanting people to comment on this blog with "But they got married in-" I don't need the reminder, thank you. This is the "Saavik is Spock's daughter blog" specifically )

Canon is fake and I decide how I consume content. Saavik can be shipped in many, many different and fun ways! Just have fun and don't let anyone take that from you.
