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

#spock baby im sorry but it looks like the backdrop of one of those alpha male podcasts #nurse chapel is stronger then me because if i saw this frat boy ass decor i would have immediately gotten the ick and left #the lack of coherent design is so funny #ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TO CURTAIN IS COVERING THE SHELVES WHICH IS SUCH A SMALL THING BUT IT MAKES ME SO MAD WHY SPOCK WHY #i hope bones never saw this room because he would have a fucking field day #star trek #star trek tos #spirk #jim kirk #spock #tos

I love those spirk ffc where Spock is pining hard but all he does is "I'm going to meditate" like he is me when I was 15yo thinking that my crush would like me back just bc I manifested it in my head.

Spock: if I meditate hard enough Jim will return my affections

And meanwhile Kirk just gets random headaches

#spirk #K/S #james t kirk #spock #star trek #this gives me specially aos star trek vibes #bc spock would be glaring at Kirk daily basis and kirk is like oh he hates #and rhen spock wonders why his flirty look didnt work

Instructor at the oil painting class who was vaguely familiar with Star Trek kept referring to him as Mr. Stock, so I’m titling my first ever oil painting in his honor.

“Mr. Stock”, oil on canvas, 2023

#my art #star trek #star trek the original series #spock #star trek fanart #artists on tumblr #oil painting #the reference for this was originally a lot more saturated and had better contrast but then the instructor was like #ok now we will print it :) #which went about as well as you’d imagine but he made me use the printed one. lame #which is why it looks so washed out

[katierosefun]

not to be like “ugh aos crew” again but ugh aos crew again spock really got accepted into the most prestigious university on vulcan and was like “haha fuck you <3″ bc they insulted the fact that he’s mixed-race jim banged his forehead in the shuttle within the first 30 seconds he was on board leonard was hiding in the bathroom of said shuttle because he hates flying sulu couldn’t get the ship to warp for the first 3 minutes of his first-ever flight on the enterprise uhura is mostly okay still except she’s also got a thing going with her former professor so maybe that raises some eyebrows (ha) scotty is literally in a butt-fuck middle of nowhere outpost on a death ice planet chekov is. seventeen. i don’t really have much more to add to that except guys your ensign is seventeen years old

#caroline talks #star trek #THEY'RE ALL SO. in their own varying levels. unhinged #me: ah yes. the best of the best. starfleet's best and brightest #[immediately cuts to spock being a sassy little bitch + leonard swearing up and down the ship + jim running around #because his hands have SWELLED TO THE SIZE OF BALLOONS BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN DOCTOR + sulu looking like he wants to die #because spock was said sassy bitch + scotty just being like 'do u know what i've been eating. it sucks' #+ uhura being mostly fine except girlie i know spock's attractive and i know u are both adults but GIRL + chekov just cheerfully going #'seventeen sir :)' and leonard going 'OH GOOD HE'S SEVENTEEN'] #they are so. like. #frankly for all the hate that the reboot movies get i fuckign adore them bc it's like 'you know what. they're all like. young. #they can be stupid.' #like. some of them are in their twenties. do u know what that does to a person #jim kirk is in his twenties and that's the only reason why i'm like ' .. . . . . listen he might be a little bit chaotic but i love him'

Liking Star Trek TOS is just slowly developing a crush on every member of the bridge crew, I don’t make the rules I just follow the law!

Like why am I LUSTING after this silly fucking guy rn???? It’s just what happens!

#Like why am I being suducted by him?!?!?! #this is the reason why new trek and aos is so jarring for TOS enjoyers #everyone is too conventionally attractive #whe what we want is the rizzless 60s swag #Like new Spock? So hot and sexy and I love that for your legacy king #and I can live with you hot Spock because he’s supposed to be early in his career and shit #but when Ethan Peck takes his shirt off (and he’s fine af and he should be proud) the magic is GONE! #it’s cause he’s so smooth #like why am I looking at a smooth Spock? #the tiddies are biblically accurate but the hair was the FLAVOR #So I’m glad new Scotty seems like a silly guy and I wish him well on his journey #montgomery scott #Scotty #star trek #star trek tos #autumn trek posting

I think the fundamental difference I've always seen in Kirk vs everyone else when it comes to Spock is, Kirk always accepts Spock as he is. He doesn't see him as Vulcan, or half human. He merely sees Spock, and interacts with him. Sees Spock for his behavior as a Spock behavior, not a Vulcan or Human one.

Everyone else will narrow Spock's actions down to these components. It will always come down to being completely aware that "oh this is a Vulcan! He doesn't get us" or "He's half Vulcan, half human, those things can be separated. How do we get the Human side in the forefront, or the Vulcan side"

For Jim, Spock has always been Spock. His equal. Someone he understands as he'd understand any human, or any other alien. Jim has always been good at seeing people, and not race, but especially with Spock.

I used to think it was a TOS thing, but honestly, the way SNW characters view the topic is quite the same.

#Where No Man Has Gone Before and Then Some #star trek #strange new worlds #spirk #spock #jim kirk #star trek tos #there are times I think jim humors both spock's and mccoys prejudice lmao - but it always comes out as playful #like - oh look at these two silly idiots xD #when watching tos I thought everyone was just a little more racist than they would be in a modern depiction #which is true - no one is calling spock a devil in snw - but it comes out more subtly in snw - the way people will prioritize #the human reaction over the vulcan one #or vice versa - and even christine's presumption that she KNOWS how spock is feeling and what he's doing more than he does #its kinda grating - and you can kinda just see why spock ultimately falls in love with jim #because 1. jim simply is that charming 2. jim sees people - not groups - he adapts in a more thoughtful way imo #which I thought was true in tos and continues in snw

[spirkbitch]

i swear every time i try to write spirk fanfiction i just end up writing spock’s inner monologue for like 2000 words

#how do y’all do this #and i always see people complaining about writing his perspective #like it’s hard or something #i think this is because i’m autistic #it’s like #‘oh yeah i should write some spirk fanfiction’ and then 5 pages later i look back and it’s all just spock thinking to himself #why do i do this #spirk #tos spirk #like i’m over 1000 words in and he hasn’t spoken to anyone #he’s just in his room thinking

[bumblingbabooshka]

The amount of copium T'Pring is ingesting in this scene is unprecedented and deeply sad especially paired with Spock immediately going "Yeah of course, you know me so well babe." Someone SAVE her. You HAVE to understand. He made out with Chapel IN FRONT OF HER and her response is to immediately rationalize both that action and the clear 'passion' she saw in it - then to have sex with him. HELP HER!!!!

#SNW #needed to make sure I was right about this conversation and I was #WOOF #star trek SNW #T'Pring #SNW Spock #<- different beast from TOS Spock like they're NOT the same person they're not even different versions of the same person #same with any TOS character vs any SNW counterpart - those are just ocs with the same names #which is WHY.......they should have just made NEW CHARACTERS!!! #T'Pring: -seeing Spock & Chapel making out- This iis part of some la r ger plan. It is. It's a plan. He's so good!! At planning. And ACTING #Stonn: -standing right next to her-.................. #T'Pring: He LOOKS like he's cheating on me because of his passion. His half human passion. We love each other. He loves me. #Stonn: ............................................................ #Spock in this scene and Spock in that scene playing chess with Chapel like 'We need to do the right thing and tell Starfleet about our #relationship' oh you need to tell STARFLEET??????? #Hey Spock #Hey #You think you might need to tell your FIANCEE??????? About your RELATIONSHIP with Chapel?????????????????? #You think T'Pring might need to know about that???? No??? Ok #INSANE writing that they didn't even have him HINT at her presence. It's as if T'Pring doesn't exist if she isn't literally right in front #of him #how much T'Pring trusts and tries to connect with SNW Spock vs how he gen-u-inely doesn't seem to care about her literally at ALL #<- I'm screaming #Guy who only treats you like an adversary or inconvenience except when you might break up with him

re: this post and Kirk and Pike and their drinking habits

Kirk doesn’t seem to drink alone. At least we never see him drink alone as a captain. Aboard the ship, it’s always McCoy who brings him or pours him a drink in order to make Kirk relax. He often brings the alcohol as a comfort, as a way to make him talk. It’s almost a ritual that is always initiated by McCoy for Kirk’s own sake. McCoy does it as a friend, but he also does it from his position as Kirk’s doctor.

“Sometimes a man’ll tell his bartender things he’ll never tell his doctor.”

Pike doesn’t have anyone like that. Pike presents himself as everyone’s friend, and he makes sure it’s him who’s there for everyone, and that reflects even on the times when he’s in his own quarters talking to Una or Spock and it’s him who’s being “comforted”. At those times, it’s still Pike who plays a host and offers them a drink. For his own sake because they won’t do it for him. He pretends they’re his bartenders since that role doesn’t belong to anyone, and he needs to pour himself that drink.

Una is almost like Pike’s McCoy but not really. At times, Spock is almost like Pike’s McCoy but not really. He’s like twenty years younger than Pike and inexperienced, among other things. Neither of them have the option to question him and press him in the way that McCoy can with Kirk because neither of them can relieve him of his command. And M’Benga doesn’t seem to want that role.

Mister Spock, the man on top walks a lonely street. The chain of command is often a noose. is as real for Pike as it’s real for Kirk. Pike just has a more open personality and a way to captain the ship that make him seem less lonely on the outside.

#snw nonsense #tos nonsense #jim kirk #james t kirk #christopher pike #leonard mccoy #headcanon times #in case everyone sees it differently lol #yes the bartender quote is by boyce to pike but boyce and pike are mccoy and kirk #but you can also see it as pike had that person in the past but now he doesn't and he improvises #because the reliance on alcohol is something that helps. especially when he needs to open up #but he often also drinks because of grief #and pike isn't really as reliant on una emotionally as kirk is reliant on mccoy emotionally #or at least he doesn't make it look like it atm #anyway there is a reason why kirk needs mccoy and just spock isn't enough #even when spock tries to approach kirk from some emotional angle a scene with mccoy will either follow or precede #it's the way tos is done
