sometimes I stay up at night & think about all the kirk/spock girlies who have passed away like? you loved them too didn't you? you loved them just as much as me, did you think of them one last time? I hope you found your th'y'la in your lifetime. I'm glad we are all connected through them.
I saw a post telling me to tell you to draw, so can you do a pic of Kirk and Spock doing literally whatever. I just love them and need to consume Star Trek content
I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
“why do mlm ships always have one blond guy and one guy with dark hair?” well you see, it all started back in 1966 when a new sci-fi show premiered on NBC—
Congratulations to TOS Kirk/Spock shippers, thee original slash fandom that is only getting stronger with time. Let's get this bread in 2024.
Edit: It's annoying the shit out of me that this is circulating with an interpretation I don't think is supported by data (see this), and then I remembered it's my blog and I can be petty if I want to. No more reblogs.
I still remember the day I first watched Star Trek and I thought, "Wow, Kirk and Spock would make a really good couple, I wonder if there's anyone who ships them," and then I looked up 'Kirk and Spock' on the Internet and the first thing that came up was the fucking Wikipedia article about the history of slash fiction and that it was Kirk and Spock who invented modern fandom.
