Star Trek: The Original Series // S02E01: Amok Time

I just sat up out of bed in a cold sweat to write this:

A Vulcan musician named T’Pain.

He wasn’t overly successful back home, but he’s big on Earth.

amanda's comment in journey to babel 'i'm afraid you couldn't pronounce the vulcan name' would annoy jim SO much, he'd find out the correct pronunciation of spock's full name and practice until he got it right and one day they'd be playing chess in comfortable silence when jim out of nowhere slowly says "s'chn t'gai spock" and spock's hand just freezes mid move

Bones: Hold on. I'm getting a feeling of Jimpending doom.

Spock: Don't you mean impending doom, Doctor?

(a distant crash is heard, followed by a distinctly Kirk-sounding "ow")

Bones: No.

Lil thingy I made for tiktok that I thought the tumblrinas might like

Also if u want the pic that appeared for like a split second it's under the cut ⬇️

Btw before I even started Star Trek, I was convinced I would HATE Kirk.

I worked for 2 years and a half on a stage production of Fight Club, and during the preliminary stage of script adapting we developed an inside joke about the line where Tyler says he'd beat the shit out of William Shatner and captain Kirk. I had absolutely no idea of what was going on in Star Trek, but we just loved to trash on Kirk for no reason.

From what I heard from the two people working on said stage productionwho sort of watched Star Trek as kids, I imagined Kirk as an arrogant misogynist with a superiority complex. Basically I imagined him as Tyler Durden who I absolutely despise for serveral reasons.

BUT THEN I ACTUALLY STARTED STAR TREK!!!! AND OMG!!!!! Jim my beloved he's such a comfort character. I kin my softcore babygirl so much he's such a good little kitten can do no wrong ever and I'm so sorry for my initial misconception

thinking about how in 'galileo seven' spock is absolutely adamant to ensure that they don't kill the spear guys despite them posing an active lethal threat to both him and his crew, not to mention they already killed one person. and then how in 'devil in the dark' spock spends half the episode demanding and risking mutiny to ensure they don't kill the horta despite it killing 50+ people. and then how kirk reveals he's standing face-to-face with it and spock without HESITATION

The Katamari Damacy soundtrack was uploaded to Spotify recently....

I like how they had 'captain' Kirk, 'doctor' Mccoy and they had to find something for Spock so they ended up with 'Mr' Spock

Jim in that working out attire lalala

amok time if it was aos except for the uniforms tehe :3

Love this guy
