Have you noticed any interesting parallels between human and vulcan culture?

Some instruments have a similar construction, a ka'athyra is someone similar to other stringed terran instruments such as the lyre or the harp, for example.

Furthermore, I have noted that many terrans have their own rituals and ceremonies, many of which are not similar to our own in context, but are such in importance.

You're an inspiration. You and Stonn are pure legitness as the kids say.

If I may ask for your advice, do you think I could pass as a Sehlat if I got the right faux teeth? I want to fit in when I visit Vulcan.

No-one will scorn you for appearing as you are, though if you wish, you may pass as a juvenile sehlat if you acquire prosthetic teeth. However, I do not believe that it would be necessary for you do to so, and you would be causing unnecessary discomfort upon yourself.

If you indeed resemble a gazelle, will you also 'try everything?'

I have clarified that I do not see the resemblance, furthermore, it is physically impossible to do as you suggest, as 'everything' is in itself an impossibility.

[tpring-of-vulcan]

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a gazelle

From preliminary research I do not personally see the resemblance. Stonn seemed quite entertained by the comparison, however.

Went through the desert on a horse with no nammmmmeee felt good to get out of the raiin

After some research I have deduced this is a terran song avout finding freedom. The emotional implications in which humans weave into their music are rather fascinating, though quite out of fashion on Vulcan, as far as I am aware it was present in pre-Surakian times, however.

To ask a vulcan such as T'Pring when you, presumably, know of her status and of Stonn is insulting, by human and vulcanian standards. The gall some folk have.

When under a cloak of anonymity, I have found individuals tend to become more brash and forward. I am not insulted by it, that would be illogical, if I to assign the closest reaction to it, it would be... bemusement, like watching a newborn kitten attempt to walk.

[tpring-of-vulcan]

Would you let me hit

If you are referring to a physical spar, there are very few scenarios in which it is logical to allow yoir opponent to strike you.

If you are attempting to proposition me, that is a firm no, your manner of asking is entirely unacceptable, as well as the fact that this is an anonymous ask, in which I can assume is anonymous for a reason.

For such a logical species, don't you think ritual betrothals are kinda fucked up? Is it painful, like a blood pact?

Empiricism, learning and keeping things from the past is an important part of Vulcan society, many describe the bonding as barbaric, and outdated, leaving children with few choices. I refuse to comment on this. I do not have a desire to reproduce, and so it would be illogical to dwell on the issue. For many, their childhood betrothal bonds satisfy and content them, as well as providing connection between clans.

The bonding is not violent, nor physically harmful as you implied. The most harm that came was the fact I was afflicted with varicella at the time, and spread it to Spock.
