Pirate Captain James T. Kirk 🏴‍☠️✨

I for sure didn't have a Mcspirk pirate AU in my list to draw this year, but kaiidth am I right?

@avid-mreower and I got infected with the pirate brainworms and are living our best life with it ☠️💜

Go look at their Triumvirate Pirates here!

*Headcanon about Jim's earrings, first sketch, timelapses and photo inspo after the cut 👇 (CW: character's death)

The earrings: Pirates always tried to carry some gold on their person, usually choosing to wear it in small hoops. This was very practical for many reasons, one being because, if they washed up somewhere unknown, they would have something to bargain. Or, if they didn't survive, something to pay for the funeral (together with other superstitions and beliefs, like using that gold to pay for your trip to the Underworld and so).

I thought this would especially fit Jim because he has the firm belief that he will die alone. He's a tactician so he prepares ahead, the gold earrings can also be handy if he gets lost during some of his shenanigans, and they look cool as hell, so they're the perfect solution.

So when he dies, if someone finds his corpse, they can use them to give him a proper burial if they want to, but he doesn't really mind if whoever finds them keeps them, because they need it or even if it's just because they're made of gold.

At least he gets to become part of a treasure someone found, become part of the adventure and discovery that he loves so much 💜✨

*And here's the photo that started all the pirate brainworms (gonna ignore it's not a pirate, it is now).

Can't believe I've watched Return of the Archons at least five times and never noticed that Jim gave Bones his jacket to sleep on as an extra pillow, because Bones clearly insisted on taking the Uncomfortable Slab instead of the bunk beds. (It's also possible that they traded off first watch/second watch, which is why Jim is awake and at the window at the beginning of the scene, unless he insisted on staying up all night.) A very chivalrous action for your doctor who always sleeps with his right arm up over his head for some reason.

Thank you to @purpleenma for pointing out this crucial detail

We're so back 🙌

Even such a rough sketch would have taken me hours before surgery, now I can do it in less than an hour 😩 I'm so happy to see the surgery working! I'm still not at 100% so I have to pace myself a lil but going strong! 💜✨

[purpleenma]

This was the last drawing, or more like doodle, I made before the surgery, for my bestie and awesome artist @the--nightcrawler when we were so lucky to meet twice in two cities here in Andalucía in less than a week 💜✨

So have some gold Spocko ✨

Behold! The Jimbun 🐇✨

A very belated birthday present for my beloved @avid-mreower 💜✨ love talking Jimbun with you

It was a bit rough to do with my hand how it is, but it also felt so good to be able to draw something 😩 so apologies cause I couldn't polish shit with how much my hand was cramping and bitching to me during the process xD
