from kirk's officiation of a wedding aboard the majority-human enterprise, where he speaks of marriage as being between "two people" (rather than between, say, "a man and a woman") we can conclude that gay marriage is a global right to humans by the time tos takes place. however i dont believe we see any vulcan gay couples in any timeline, at any point. because vulcan betrothal and pon farr ceremonies are exclusively heterosexual, i surmise that queerness, to vulcans, is generally regarded as a human thing, or at the very least, inherently non-vulcan. and spock, who furiously represses his human side, must also therefore furiously repress his queerness, which makes his relationship to kirk all the more Absolutely Insane

Based on a meme I saw 😌 an explanation of my AU under the cut
I'm not good at writing but this is from an AU I have where Jim had a baby while Spock was doing the Kolinahr, Sarek didn't want him to be distracted so he never told him that he had a son (but Sarek still was full on board on being a grandpa, he's only shitty with Spock)
So Spock went straight to Vulcan after V-ger to sort some things out before going to earth and Jim never had the opportunity to tell him but he just assumed that he already knew since both Sarek and Amanda are so involved with Selik life (baby name) and they were currently taking care of baby while he was on that mission.
Anyway, Spock didn't knew because he went straight to the Entreprise after Kolinahr not even a hello for his parents.
He took Jim words literally and now has to navigate how to be a Sa-mekh to a grumpy 2 years old toddler 😌👍
I have just the beginning written and it is pretty depressing 🤗

The McSpirk Events Gift Exchange is now live!
This exchange will be a bit different from others!
In fact this gift exchange is about Response and Remix works.
What is a response?
Response works that are a fanwork created that were inspired by someone else's creation. (Kind of like how big bangs have art inspired by the fic, and reverse big bangs have fics inspired by art made).
What's a remix?
Remixes which are re-envisoned versions of someone else's fanwork. (As an example maybe you wrote/drew an alternate ending to an episode. Well as a gift to you someone would read that fic and then write, draw, or edit their own ending to that episode.)
Does it have to be Mcspirk?
Nope! While this is a Mcspirk blog, I wanted to host an event that would help everyone in the fandom celebrate each other's amazing talents and skills! So you can request, and share works for any star trek ship, or even non-ship material.
Where will it be hosted?
On Ao3! Just click here.
What are the rules?
Your gift has to meet these minimum requirements:
500 words for fics.
10 songs for playlists
30 seconds for a video edit
A sketch for fanart
A graphic edit
A GIF
2. If you are under 18 do not request an NSFW gift, and do not link any NSFW content you may have made.
3. Do NOT reveal who your making a gift. This is a surprise until reveals happen on August 22nd.
4. Turn in your gift by August 10th!
Are Treats allowed?
Of course! If you want treats please include in your request description that treats are okay.
For those who are unaware, treats are bonus gifts. You are not required to make any treats but you can if you want too.
So how does this work? (Step by step instructions with images to help are below the cut.)
Step 1 - Go to the event page on Ao3 here. (The collection was mistitled. I changed it to Mcspirk Gift Exchange 2024.)
Step 2 - Click Sign Up
Step 3 - You begin filling in your request. Please fill in the follow categories to best summarize the fanwork you want a gift made of. You can make up to 10 requests.
For fandom you'll want to put whatever fandom your piece is of. You'll do the same for characters and relationships.
For additional tags please put what types of gifts you'd like to receive as well as if you want a Response gift, a Remix gift, or you can select both to receive either or.
Please put the ratings that match your original source material and any warnings that apply.
Below is an example of one of my pieces, and how I would link it in the description of a request.
Step 4 - Fill in an offer! Please be sure to list all the ships & characters you'd be willing to make gifts for PLUS what kind of gifts you want to make.
This process works exactly like the requests side of things only instead you'll be putting in all the ships/shows/ratings you'd be willing to create for + what you'll make!
Instead of the description box being used for links to works, you can instead use it for extra information. (Stuff that myself as a mod will consider in case I have to switch any matches around.)
Here is the full schedule:
Sign-ups begin: May 22nd
Sign-ups end: May 30th
Matches are sent out: May 31st
Assignments are due: August 10th
Assignments are revealed: August 18th
Creators are revealed: August 22nd
