I sometimes think we don’t really see the truest extent of Vulcan logic, especially considering how flawed the concept is.

Show me the Vulcan ship that gets itself stuck because there *is* no logical answer to their problem and they can’t make a decision

Show me a Vulcan who gets outed as a serial manipulator on a primarily human ship because they simply have the goal of finding a mate and reproducing so they unknowingly upset a bunch of people who fooled themselves into thinking this Vulcan could reciprocate the emotions they have.

I swear to god a lot of trek episodes get Vulcans wrong because they’re described as a perfectly logical species and some writers think that just means “emotionless” like NO it means that every action they take is preceded by like a mental algorithm and cost/benefit analyses and that is terrifying actually!

Also I think the Romulans are so dangerous because they kinda take that to the extreme. It’s not that they’re the opposite of Vulcans, they obviously have access to the same mental capabilities, it’s just they use logic primarily selfishly, without any underlying philosophy of ethics. The only reason the vulcans haven’t dominated the galaxy imo is because they’re logical enough to understand that practiced empathy (even if you don’t feel it) is beneficial to everyone involved

Sorry I’m rambling a bit

Fun fact: Romulan Males average height is 6’1” so @bigblissandlove1 Hubby Letant is average but S’Talon, Vreenak,Koval,Parem are the 6’5 Daddies… We love those males

My feral love

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

So per “Carbon Creek” now I want an Enterprise-era fic where the Vulcan high council shits a brick when someone who knows what they are seeing finds a few humans in North America with Vulcan DNA, all later found to have genealogical records going back to a single woman named Maggie and her undocumented immigrant second husband, who appears to have materialized one day out of nowhere.

Yeah, Spock’s birth required major medical intervention, but in a lot of mammalian hybrids, female embryos are less likely to have genetic incompatibility issues, so maybe Mestral & Maggie’s kid was a girl and things went fine… And there’s a few people in the vicinity of Pennsylvania who aren’t 100% human, although a century later they probably wouldn’t look even slightly Vulcan at least outwardly. But hoo boy does it set the cat among the pigeons… and T’Pol gets called to the carpet to explain what she knows about her great grandmother’s little foray into 1950′s Earth, in the absence of anyone else alive who might know something about it.

Trip Tucker, of course, can be heard laughing until he nearly pukes in the background…

Romulan enthusiasts reblogging that one gif of Letant drinking water

tiktaalik,

it hurts so badly, how i miss you

i hope you are ok💚

Is it so wrong I want to write Romulan smut?

Look at him, so perfect...so in need of a bath, ahhh filthy e'lev

Cillian Murphy as Romulan raised Vulcan. Needs more work but I torment myself well enough with this

Used as a FC for my OC in roleplay writing

No

My favorite

I miss my friend

Acting like the noises ostomy bags make are gross or impolite is ableist. Non-ostomates acting as if ostomy bags are super disgusting for any reason is ableist. We need these to live, thanks!

The Romulan 'community' is so unique, I think, because we're all 100% here either because a) an inevitably small and minor Romulan character captivated you in an odd moment of binging the show, or b) you ran out of Vulcan fics to read and then realized their meaner, emotional, angry cousins were actually a bit more... interesting.
