this was the best 12 seconds of my life
star trek heritage post (December 27th, 2013)
Oops, I never uploaded this one to Tumblr (which I only realized when someone else did, but then was kind enough to tag me, thank you)!
This is the comic that kickstarted my obsession with telling stories with as few panels as I could (usually 10-11 haha), so it’s got a soft spot in my heart.
Spock doesn't so much "make rational decisions following precise parameters of logicial reasoning" as he "does whatever the fuck he wants and justifies it with some Vulcan bullshit he just made up" and I love that for him.
i just know they were this annoying to be around from the second they met (twitter) [ID in ALT]
Do you think it sometimes keeps Bones awake at night to know that he held in his hands a device that turned out to be capable of thought-based healing, which could bring someone back from fatal injuries unfixable by modern medicine, and they just gave it back to the Vians and left? That the knowledge of such perfect, instant healing makes his most advanced techniques seem no better than the cutting and sewing of people like garments?
Do you think he goes to Spock one night, asking if Spock can remember *anything* about that device with those mathematically perfect brainwaves of his, positing that if Spock was able to adjust the device to work for their thought patterns, perhaps he could puzzle out the construction of the device itself? So that Bones could simply think a healing thought, and will a body whole?
That Spock has to admit that, though he was able to modify the device, despite his best efforts he has no real idea how it worked in the first place. That, though regret is illogical, wonder at the possibilities of the universe is not...
...but that, privately, he cannot discern whether it is wonder or regret that keeps him up at night?
Do you think they share a cup of tea in quiet contemplation before Bones says that he wishes they could go back to Sigma Draconis VI so he could wear the Teacher just one more time; no matter what it would do to his brain, without the threat of medical urgency with Spock's impending death this time, perhaps he could at least write down the knowledge before the end?
And, maybe, Spock pauses, and thinks about both of these times where Bones hadn't hesitated even a second to save Spock's life at the expense of his own --
-- and says to him, impossibly gently, "But, then, who will think the healing thoughts, Doctor?"
And they finish their tea, go their separate ways, and sleep through the night.

Can I draw more of lil Spock? Sure I can, trekbedtimestories. Here’s one for u :)
thinking about fleetwood mac and how they actually sang songs about each other. and performed them. about how much they loved or hated each other like what the fuck how
I mean can you imagine. singing about how somebody broke your heart and they’re literally harmonizing. they’re right fucking there. they’re in touching distance. insanity! complete insanity! I would either break down crying or fully snap and break their neck
fucking. silver springs!!! ‘you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!’ no fucking kidding he won’t stevie he’s literally behind you playing the drums! absolute madlads
This live performance feels like I’m watching my parents fighting in the kitchen

Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?
The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo
How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”
Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS
James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Yep. That episode is exactly what you think it is: pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose. And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.
It was written and aired in 1969.
It probably couldn’t air today.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?”
@judicialmistrangementorder
It’s also important to bear in mind that the Original Series had a predominantly female fanbase, and during its initial run, was widely mocked and dismissed by mainstream (i.e., male) science fiction fans as being fake sci-fi for girls. It’s difficult to overstate the influence women had on the franchise in its early days; most of the early Star Trek conventions were organised by and for women, and indeed, those same organisers were primarily responsible for the massive letter-writing campaign that prevented the show from being cancelled after the 1968 season. Without that campaign, the episode pictured in this post would never have been made.
The popular image of James Kirk as a sleazy womaniser is part of a conscious effort to erase that history and render the franchise’s roots palatable to the misogynistic geekboys of the modern SF/F fandom.
For a summary of those points, see “Star Trek’s Underappreciated Feminist History” by Shannon Mizzi, which draws from Patricia Vettel-Becker’s “Space and the Single Girl: Star Trek, Aesthetics, and 1960s Femininity”.
And a gentle reminder that TOS was a Desilu production, which its board of directors voted to cancel after the second pilot due to cost concerns, a vote that Chairman Lucille Ball overruled. There is no Star Trek without Lucille Ball.
The writers of The Original Series shoved as much good stuff into their series as they could while making a smokescreen of other stuff to cover it up. For example:
make the main cast phenomenally multicultural for it’s time while using white “all-American” guys like William Shatner as a front to make the show look more palatable to conservatives. The bridge crew included a Jewish actor, Leonard Nimoy, and a character who was Russian during the cold war. And notably, Nichelle Nicholls, a black woman, and George Takei, a Japanese-American, whose characters were treated with equal respect and dignity to the other characters.
making the show deliberately racy (for the time period) so that conservative people would focus on the sexy bits instead of the very real and scathing political commentary going on in a lot of the episodes
being aggressively feminist. Discussed above, but shown in lots of ways. like, the miniskirts? during the 60s, women were all for them because it showed that women could be feminine and professional.
Do you understand me?
