#and I kept seeing about spirk and was like okay I'll go watch TOS but I watched like 2mins and gave up

[oohlook-thevoid]

Yes, I only finished DS9 recently. Yes, it took me like 3 years to watch. Yes, I should rlly watch VOY/TNG/TOS. Yes, I'm this 👌 close to rewatching ENT or DS9 instead.

#like I do want to watch the others because like ✨context✨ for some of the newer stuff would be helpful #like TNG I'd probably my priority and ideally I'll finish it before Picard s2 (because lord knows I got confused watching s1) #like yes I know who this character is but also I do not know WHO this character is y'know #anyway I just wish the 7 season Trek shows were easier to get into because man the first seasons are ehhhh #like I'd say I wish they were more like ENT because I watched that real quick but also like I realise it's kinda bad so like :/ #I still love ENT the most tho <3 #like basically back in the summer after my GCSEs (so this was in like 2018) I was going through a watch things because my insta search feed #said they were gay phase #yeah so anyway that's why I watched v*ltron and gotham (only one of which I actually finished and don't hate) #and I kept seeing about spirk and was like okay I'll go watch TOS but I watched like 2mins and gave up #and my dad saw I'd started it and was like if you want to get into Star Trek I'd suggest ENT because it takes place chronologically first #so like yh sure and we sat down and watched the first couple eps #and originally I was gonna watch it with my dad but I got wayyyy too invested and just kept watching it without him #I can distinctly remember being on a family holiday in a static caravan in (I think) Wales and just being curled up on a chair watching ENT #on my phone #yeah so anyway I watched ENT with zero critical thinking going on because like brain used up on exams and also I loved all the characters #so bad storylines got ignored #tbf tho the other show I watched that summer was Hannibal and I distinctly remember being obsessed with how aesthetic the murders were #yeah but anyway I watched ENT + got obsessed and then tried watching VOY and saw a few eps then switched to DS9 #and now like 3 yrs later I finally finished it and turned out re: DS9 my dad was right and it did get more interesting #once the dominion war stuff started #anyway I probably will rewatch DS9 + ENT somewhen but I'm gonna try to hold off until uni so if it goes to shit at least I'll have star trek

Spones for the ask game!

YES 100%

What made you ship it? Honestly???? It took me a while for me to consider Spones as a potential ship. I entered this fandom as a major Spirk shipper, and I never really bothered to look beyond it. And while I didn't hate McCoy, he certainly wasn't my favorite character so I kinda,,, ignored him at first lmaooooo It took a combination of the mcspirk discord and actually going back and rewatching beyond and the original series for me to start to reconsider it.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

But overall, they have such an interesting dynamic. They're both constantly at each other's throats, and challenging the other, but may the good Lord help you if you insult/hurt one of them. McCoy calls Spock out on his bullshit all the time and isn't intimidated by his 'stone cold' Vulcan persona at all. And Spock really does trust McCoy with his life (and *cough* soul *cough*), and it's obvious to see just how much they respect each other.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Sometimes, McCoy's comments about Spock can be a bit,,, grating. While Spock 100% dishes out the same level of snark and attitude towards McCoy as McCoy does to him, sometimes I feel like TOS McCoy's comments about Spock appearance or physiology can be a bit Much. it def kept me from liking the idea of them as a ship when I first started watching it.

- I also think McCoy would be okay with a mind meld/bond with Spock. McCoy is a doctor and as much as he complains about Vulcans, he knows more than enough about them to know what it is and isn't safe. And considering it's SPOCK, I think he'd be okay with an accidental bond between them lmao

Spock, shaking and crying at the idea of telling McCoy about their bond:

McCoy, just trying to finish his damn paperwork but can't because Spock is busy freaking out through their bond: goddammit.

Send me a ship and I'll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.
