spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

[pepperpup86]

You are judging Spock’s room through human associations tastes. Remember, Vulcan blood is green and the planet Vulcan is red (Discovery even adds to this by showing red trees around Sarek’s property).

On Vulcan, red is the color of nature, so (assuming Vulcans even assign meaning to colors), red is likely a very calm and soothing color choice. Green is probably the Vulcan color of passion and/or danger.

From a Vulcan perspective, Spock’s room is a cozy cottage core with some historical knickknacks hung around.

Kirk’s green carpet, green plants, green lighting room is the Vulcan equivalent of a boudoir at best or blood-stained slaughterhouse at worst.

if i was in charge of star trek i would cut 60% of the special effects budget and put that money into spec bio. no more epic space battles we are spending the episode hanging out with bajoran marine biologists

[kirktism]

more mii shenanigans because im obsessed

[aphrostiel]

i just became aware of the existence of WOODSPOCK

and of course i had to draw him

[thefreakmeister]

watching star trek pisses me off because of course spock is my favorite character. of course i think the alien who can mind meld and nerve pinch is fucking awesome. of course i think the guy with a complex origin story and emotional restraint is fascinating and maybe a little bit hot. of course the dude with great line delivery and daddy issues and eye shadow is my favorite crew member. the enterprise hired the coolest first officer ever and im falling for the bait

are you nerds ready to see TOP SURGERY KIRK??

[roach-works]

this is one of the more expensive cosplays i've seen but you really can't argue with the results

[thefreakmeister]

kirk: spock will be acting captain in my absence. i trust him with my life and expect you all to do the same. *leaves bridge*

spock [hopping over the railing to follow kirk]: sulu's in charge

WHAT

[jelliedlimes]

I refuse to accept this is real the fuck does thou mean

[goldensunset]

sometimes media is more delicious when stuff with major implications is very much present but also very much glossed over very quickly. like yeah that guy subtly quietly tried to kill himself and alluded to having tried before. anyway

[simplysapphichope]

when star trek just went “oh yeah, and james t. kirk lived on a colony as a child that went through a severe famine and the governor killed half of everyone living there to “save” the other half.”

and then just never really mentions or explores it any further.

Kirk always looks at Spock like he's the cutest, most adorable thing in the entire universe. Like it doesn't matter how old Spock is, or of he is doing the most simple thing, Kirk is just looking at him like ohhhh, he's so cute. He's so CUTE! Isn't he the most amazing being to ever exist?

[thetimetostrikeislater]

I lose it every time when I watch The Voyage Home where Spock takes part of his robe and ties it around his head to hide his ears and Kirk is looking at him like this:

the spocklings

[postmodern-blues]

oh cool so bones mccoy cares so much that his heart aches like an open wound & the only way he can deal with it is by curating a superficially caustic personality that’s so cool wow. i’m at my limit here
