i love how we as a fandom have collectively agreed that uhura’s queer, with this scene practically solidifying this hc:

because like first off uhura I’ve gotta agree with you, t’pring is indeed, “very lovely” (i am also queer and have eyes) but the need for the line is clearly to show that t’pring is a “desirable” mate and that spock, logically, should and is lusting after her, whether fully cause of pon farr or partly due to residing feelings (also as the script was most likely written by heterosexual men, it could just be another instance of the male gaze) 

it’s pretty obvious that uhura and the side characters don’t get a lot of screen time. making kirk say this line would make it seem as if he’s interested in t’pring according to the logic (or illogic) of how the show arranges kirk’s canonical love life. I can assume this applies to the other male crew members. so, logically, uhura is a person who can say this line and clearly indicate that nobody has a romantic interest for “spock’s” (at this time’s) woman.

of course now with a less heteronormative gaze the queer subtext in this line is blatantly obvious, so hell yeah queer uhura!!

thanks for coming to my tedtalk

i love the fact that we based the whole t’pring x uhura ship on the one (1) comment uhura made about t’pring being beautiful, and i think that is, in fact, beautiful

#i ship them so much #can we have like an alternative universe where they meet and fall in love? #logan.txt #t’pura #tpura

(tldr: op’s rambling and unhinged thoughts on Amok Time)

“I will do what I must, T'Pau, but not with him. His blood does not burn. He is my friend.”

as much as we all love a good fuck-or-die spin on pon farr, there’s something about the original episode—and this line in particular—that hits a different way (for context, this line is after kirk becomes t’pring’s challenger but before he learns the fight is to the death)

like—what if you loved someone so much you would surface from your madness, if just for a moment, to plead for your friend to be spared? what if you loved someone so much you would beg an exception from traditions passed down from the beginning of time so they wouldn’t be harmed?

while the framing of this episode is the classic “fuck or die,” the main heart of the conflict ends up being more akin to “kill or die” when spock’s condition, originally only dangerous for himself, puts kirk in mortal danger as well and the plot becomes “how do they both get out of this alive and unharmed?”

and there’s something powerful in that sentiment, in fighting to save someone despite all the trappings of biology and tradition, that makes this a romantic moment more so than the other aspects of the episode, because if you look at it objectively, pon farr is awful, with both your consent and bodily autonomy taken away from you (eventually, there’s the third path with kirk’s fake-out-death that resolves the conflict, but the issues of this situation still remain)

so for me, as someone sliding vaguely around the scale but usually somewhere around gray-ace, it’s the depth and strength of caring in this quote that really stuck with me after the episode—it’s love, it’s obviously and undeniably love, but it fights against the trappings of the situation, and that’s something that you don’t often see outside the episode

(don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of fics that chose this theme that are well-written and enjoyable, but there can be this amatonormativite idea that sex and/or romantic connection are the only possible solutions when love exists in infinite forms, none of which are higher of lesser for their nature. for example—the original episode, due to the era in which it was written and the showrunners not intentionally writing spirk as romantic, comes off now as more of an asexual/qpr situation, but in my ideal hypothetical universe with explicit romance between the two, the resolution between the two could still be the same as in the original for reasons stated above)

#god—you know you’ve truly been to Places when you find yourself writing an amok time analysis #btw two fics that come to mind as exceptions to the trend: #“you don’t have to (say yes)” by luminousbeings—specifically chapter 12 #“baby bite me (don't come any closer now)” by Spoofymcgee #the second one is t’pura bc i love my space lesbians #t’pura is CRIMINALLY underated #but that’s stuff for another post #star trek #star trek tos #spirk #amok time #amatonormativity

My femslashex assignment this year involved a reimagining of “Amok Time” in which T’Pring selects Uhura as her champion for … reasons. (Gay reasons.) I can’t believe these are my first pieces of TOS fanart!

(Obviously Spock was fine. It all worked out for the best.)

ID: a drawing of T’Pring, Spock and Uhura. Uhura smiles and hugs both Spock and T’Pring from behind, squishing Spock between herself and T’Pring. Spock blushes. T’Pring looks up from the device in her hand and back toward the other two with a tiny smile. End ID

There’s a whole lotta A+ polycule ship potential throughout all of Star Trek, but one I think we gotta start considering more is the Dream Team that is Uhura x T’pring x Chapel x Rand.

any of y’all ship things that have like no canon basis at all? I feel like I’m alone in the void of space with Uhura x T’pring.
