Sorry for being a star trek porn blog who only ever reblogs other people's fan art and cat pictures. Do you still love me?

The girl-dad ever

One idea that I've been getting a kick out of lately is like. a fairly standard "Spock is trapped on pre-warp earth and befriends Kirk while hiding his alien heritage" fic, except when Spock inevitably gets hurt and starts bleeding, it's revealed that Kirk is red-green colorblind. McCoy, who Kirk brings the wounded Spock to, however...

So Kirk is living out a cute little university romance or whatever, blissfully unaware, while McCoy is like What The Fuck. What The Fuck It's Green. Jim. Jim, It's Green. Jim What The Fuck. except he doesn't actually tell Kirk that, because he can hardly believe it himself. so instead he's just quietly freaking the fuck out. Kirk brings up meeting Spock at the library, and he flinches so bad he chucks his coffee halfway across the room. Kirk starts to think he might just be homophobic.

The Trouble with T'Rub'l

Are you spending this USA holiday weekend reading fanfic in the blessedly air conditioned indoors while avoiding the heat and recreational explosives?

Do you love ensemble Star Trek fics? How about fun Vulcan culture lore?

Good news! I have some plotty comedy fluff full of hijinks and shenanigans to distract you from your woes! Treat yourself to:

The Trouble with T'Rub'l

Kirk and Spock are en route to meet a Shakespeare quoting Klingon Captain for secret under-the-table negotiations when the Enterprise is ordered to change course and pick up a Vulcan "Special Ambassadorial Guest," kicking off 10 days of Shipboard S'chnanigans!

Featuring:

Spock as a Drunk Uncle

Klingons Quoting Shakespeare

Vulcan Worldbuilding

Secret Schemes

A Loaner Baby

Bowling

Treat yourself to some relaxing Star Trek comedy!

Thank you to @deadbeat0club for the delightful art!

[wiltking]

so you're telling me the fifa world cup is all men? its all men's teams? and so is the superbowl? and all the sports teams that states are known for and make copious amounts of merch for are also men's teams? and only 5 women have ever entered formula one since its inception in 1950 and only two of them were able to compete? and this is normal? its acceptable?

STAR TREK III The Search for Spock

[innerchildabortionclinic]

oh fuck it, i'm not driving. put whipped cream on those strawberries.

[rockergiirl]

i hate how pervasive the r-word has become again

its like the 2000s to early 2010s again where talking to anyone theres a good chance they'll casually say a slur without any thought

[rockergiirl]

and whats even more annoying now is people who'll try to weasel out of being called out on it

'oh its fine because i'm legally mentally disabled so i can say it' NOT HOW RECLAMATION WORKS

[rockergiirl]

AND SAME WITH DEGENERATE

STOP TALKING LIKE A FUCKING NAZI

The ending of This Side of Paradise will always annoy me because less gay episodes end with Spirk moments sometimes but here they tacked on Spock saying he’s never been happy before like my guy what do you mean you were drugged by a woman you didn’t love and your boyfriend had to be racist to you to snap you out of it (again) just because your smile was creepier than usual doesn’t mean anything. Drug induced bliss isn’t happiness. If it is what does that make everything else? The times you, a Vulcan, smiled which I probably couldn’t count on two hands?

I thought the point was he is what he is, why is that conditional?

[deadbeat0club]

Fair! To me it says more about Spock's mental state than his actual emotions. He's so ashamed and embarrassed all the time he can't just feel happy he feels happy THEN he feels shame. But while on drugs his inhibitions are lower and he doesn't feel that shame. Hence why HE thinks this is the true happiness humans are talking about. He still chooses to leave and go with the Enterprise though because deep down he knows something is wrong with drugged happiness all the time. And he's really gay for Kirk. We should have gotten an apology scene though. Poor Spock just saw his lover boy yell at him all the mean things his mom yells at him.
