Guys I just got the dumbest idea oh my god.

Okay so, what if after the Enterprise B goes down and Kirk gets sent to the Nexus, because he's not dead his telepathic link with Spock is still there, and because the Nexus is weird like that he doesn't entirely process that Spock is as far away as he actually is, so they continue sharing thoughts like they always have and Jim just sort of doesn't question it and Spock can't get a good answer about where he is, so he quits asking. Other than Sarek and Amanda, no human/Vulcan couple has ever had a real link together, so when people find out that Spock can still hear Jim even though he's dead they're like "uhhh yeah okay whatever fuck it sure why not".

So, it becomes a pretty frequent thing that while Spock is doing Diplomat Stuff, he's regularly asked "well, what does the famous Captain James T. Kirk have to say?!" And Spock, very begrudgingly has to answer: "Ambassador, I regret to inform you that Captain Kirk says that your plan is, and I quote, 'a load of horseshit worse than what I find in my fucked up barn every morning'."

I still don’t understand this episode.

Spock to himself: “I’m so goddamn horny I can’t take it anymore GONNA AIM FOR CAPTAIN’S TITS!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!”

Kirk to himself: “Damn I know my commander has been horny for me but I never thought he’d straight cut me a boob window in front of everyone omg IS HE SERIOUS!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO NOW!!!!!!!”

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

“why do mlm ships always have one blond guy and one guy with dark hair?” well you see, it all started back in 1966 when a new sci-fi show premiered on NBC—

gay people never flirt normally it's always gotta be shit like this

Star Trek has the best plot

And best fights

I mainly wanted to put Kirk in something like what Liv Tyler wears in the video clip for Crazy, by Aerosmith 🥴. Anyway... enjoy ✨

"Captain, you are an excellent starship commander, but as a taxi driver you leave much to be desired." "It was that bad?"

Spock posting on Quora

Congratulations to TOS Kirk/Spock shippers, thee original slash fandom that is only getting stronger with time. Let's get this bread in 2024.

Edit: It's annoying the shit out of me that this is circulating with an interpretation I don't think is supported by data (see this), and then I remembered it's my blog and I can be petty if I want to. No more reblogs.

I just...

made a redraw of this screenshot hehe

I love them very much...💕

okay, I forgot how to draw a little, but I tried 🥺

I still remember the day I first watched Star Trek and I thought, "Wow, Kirk and Spock would make a really good couple, I wonder if there's anyone who ships them," and then I looked up 'Kirk and Spock' on the Internet and the first thing that came up was the fucking Wikipedia article about the history of slash fiction and that it was Kirk and Spock who invented modern fandom.

Not just a five-year mission
