Full disclosure that I ship Kirk and Spock romantically, but I welcome the exploration of this ship as platonic friends as well. You are welcome to ship with Kirk and all ships are within their own universe. I will not ship with underage muses or rp with underage muns. You must be 21+ to follow.
i accept asks, memes, starters, memes do not expire. As mutuals you are allowed to send me starters, asks, and reply to any opens.
I can adjust formatting as needed to make my replies easier to read for you. I can also not use icons if needed.
I will not reblog callouts but will review evidence and make adjustments as needed. No racism, homophobia, transphobia allowed. any nasty behavior will earn a hrd block.
added 6/7/22: I do not follow for follow. If you have no intentions of writing and simply use me to boost your numbers, I will softblock. If I make repeated attempts to rp and interact and they go ignored, you will be softblocked. I’m not here to pad numbers. I want to write and build something.
added 6/18/22: note that I do not interact with the harry potter fandom at large. I only write with one specific person who writes a harry potter muse and interact with her only. Otherwise, I have nothing to do with HP fandom and will not be writing with anyone else from it as we are anti-jkr on this blog.
added 7/30/22 please tag any hate or negativity towards SNW. in the past i’ve had muns use their feelings about canon source material to bash and tell me that my interpretation is wrong. while this has not been the case in the trek fandom, i would prefer that it is tagged so i can block it.
LOVE, IS NOT ANY TERM he would use to describe his own tendencies. Logic is simply a part of him, and a methodology he believes would be useful to the Captain at this moment. But to this, Spock merely raises a brow, then shifts, pivoting his body to the scans fluttering at his station.
“ None. Though, Lieutenant Uhura has communicated a single response to our recent hails. ” Spock looks up, veering his gaze toward the view screen before bringing them back to Kirk. His eyes glitter darkly, “ They wish only to speak to you, sir. ”
he considers many responses but ultimately decides to let it go. Spock will no doubt argue against his words. Another time, another place. he will not push his luck today. he does let a smirk quirk at the edges of his lips. Spock has won but only for today. ❝ they want to skip the peons and head straight to the king. ❞ he smirks. ❝ well, I will be sure to greet them. ❞
he orders Uhura to open hailing frequencies. ❝ this is captain Kirk. we are on a mission of peaceful exploration. ❞
“Their faces would be redder than Scotty’s uniform,” she muses, letting her thoughts drift for the briefest of moments to one of the Admirals—Fitzpatrick, she’d swear his name was—who’d contacted the Enterprise during her lengthy stay in this timeline. The stuffy old shirts could certainly use a little excitement here and there; she’d be happy to provide that in the form of one very detailed, very unprecedented report for Jim to submit for review.
There’s something very attractive about the way Jim says no one need know but us, and that only further spins her thoughts in the direction of the very acts that would make the aforementioned Admiralty blush. “My oral report, yes—I’ve quite the talented tongue; serves me well in moments when my captain is being unduly cruel,” she says, and there’s a glimmer in her eye that Jim will instantly recognise.
“What kind of compromise? I’m open to anything.” She places her hands along the curve of Jim’s jaw and smiles. “And I do mean anything.”
❝ I can always forgo that oral report for say - dinner ? ❞ he responds, a smirk playing upon his lips. he instantly recognizes that glimmer. she’s not letting him get off so easy. Lyla was a hard one to outwit. she has centuries and eons of knowledge and observation. she’d been at this game of life a lot longer than a playboy like Jim. But, Kirk doesn’t give up so easily. he will earn his prize one way or another.
❝ and afterwards ? we can return to my quarters. I’ll let you guess as to what our night might look like. ❞

Thinking about Spirk a lot right now. I definitely feel like Kirk felt lost a lot of the time when the end of the five year mission happened. being stuck on earth in a desk job in starfleet. i imagine he called spock a lot sent messages etc during that time. Kirk really is a man of the stars. he belongs there. he belongs on a starship, on the enterprise. kirk belongs on the bridge and if we’re really getting romantic, spock belongs at his side. they just go together. I think they all understood that. the triumvirate. that’s why during the movies they keep ending up back together.
“I’m not being defensive.” Very believable. But at least he’s let go of her, and Char immediately steps away, fighting the instinct to cross her arms over her chest. Trying hard to seem natural as she leans against a wall, tucks her hands into her pockets and offers what she hopes is an easy grin.
It looks more like a grimace.
“Just tired.” That doesn’t cover it though, really, does it? It’s a bone-deep level of exhaustion that she can’t seem to shake when it feels like every cell of her body is brimming with unspent energy. “Nothing for a Captain to worry about.”
❝ that’s were you’re wrong. it’s my job to worry about yours, mine, and the other 400 people on board this vessel. ❞ he leans as naturally against the wall as he can right next to her. ❝ captain’s prerogative is to worry about his crew. any captain who isn’t worried has no right to sit in the chair. ❞
that’s what he always thought. plenty of captains have sat in the center chair. plenty came from all different walks of life. some didn’t care two figs about their crew. some cared too much. at least, according to Starfleet. who knows ? maybe he shouldn’t worry so much but, he does.
❝ what’s eatin you ? you can tell me, or, you can tell Bones. I think tellin me is a little easier. Bones doesn’t have good bed side manners. ❞
“Captain, you have that look on your face that says you’re about to make a very bad decision.” He knows. He’s seen it before plenty of times. “I think the Commander is very easy to get along with. Did you try being less—you and doing something he likes to do?”
❝ can’t be anyone else other than me. that’s a big fat no there. so, time to think of some ways to get commander Spock to loosen up. maybe I should invite him out to drinks and get him absolutely hammered. ❞
❝ ambassador ... I hope you have enjoyed your time upon the ship. please let me know if there is anything I might get you. ❞ he speaks, rises from the char. ❝ perhaps I may even entertain you in a bit of chess. I hear from Spock you are quite a challenge. I don’t believe in no - win situations. you’ll find my logic to be .... unique. ❞ @starstcff
You guys are so supportive and I really appreciate all of the comments and even the likes! Gosh I love you all so much. I love this fandom. I love the overwhelming support and positivity.
the long and short of it is, I haven’t been in the best head space for the past 2 weeks. work is stressful and someone ghosted and quit without saying anything leaving us short staffed. i am currently debating quiet quitting myself. no ghosting but maybe putting in my 2 weeks? i am in between the usual guilt of “i cant quit they need me” verses the pervasive feeling of being passed over / not being able to advance / the toxic and passive aggressive atmosphere currently going on / verses the unfulfilled and emptiness of burn out because I’m just ... tired of working in vet med over all and being asked to be perfect with no mistakes and yet not being rewarded or recognized for what I do? idk other people who have been there shorter than me get raises and get to learn things and get more opportunities and it’s idk it’s a long battle I’ve been having????
anyway it’s left me feeling exhausted mentally and physically and emotionally. that’s the long version of my absence. nothing major, just my job sucking the life out of me. it sucks because i wanted to work in this field but there’s a reason there is a lack of vet staff and professionals in the field. it’s just soul sucking dgdfgdfgdfg
anyway, thank you for being patient and reading this. I hope to return energized over the course of this 3 day weekend.
frankly, yes. the path the captain was suggesting would require them to pass strangely close to the nebula; he could, of course, as ordered by the captain, ready the ship for any strange effects, but it was not the fastest path, or the safest. “ as you said, the logic behind them was unclear. ”
❝ mister Spock, I am always willing to hear what you have to say. please enlighten me as to the route you suggest. I will always consider what you have to say. We are a vessel of exploration. passing the nebula will yield us valuable data. Keep that in mind. what do you say ? ❞
