1x24 - This Side of Paradise

Yes Spock is gay, we know Spock’s gay. He’s also demisexual

this has been a headcanon of mine for some time. Can you imagine how difficult that could be for Vulcans because you only get the hots for those you have an EMOTIONAL BOND with. anyways obviously he had that with kirk so

it just makes sense to me that he’s demisexual

Spock’s demihomosexual and he’s in love with Kirk. Thank you.

Edit: 69 notes? Thank you!

Edit: 100 NOTES??? OH MY GOD TYSM GUYS THAT’S THE MOST NOTES I’VE GOTTEN ON ANYTHING!!!!!!

Edit: 157. This is just- thank you guys. I noticed this made a lot of y’all happy and I’m happy I made you happy! 🖖🏻

Edit: 200 notes? This post is months old! I’m flattered, really!

Oh fucking HELL ALL BURNING ALL DEVOURING LET ME RECAP THE FUCKING STAR TREK MOTION PICTURES

So we start with Spock failing his spiritual practice because he senses the creature that can answer his questions AND because his man is again up to some dubious shit. AND IT'S REALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS that Spock is very much not happy about failing this spiritual thing, I'd've even said he's disappointed and ashamed of himself. Also he's for the life of him can't look at Kirk. Okay.

Then he goes and mindmelds with this creature, comes out of it, and first - he focken laughs. Needless to remind that in original series he only laughed when he was either drugged or possesed, AND THIS TIME HE LAUGHS AT HIS OWN WILL. okay. fine. im fine. Second - he focken grabs Kirk and says that he should've realized it all along - despite the pure logic of the machine (it being emotionless - the thing spock tried to achieve all those years away from kirk) it's cold, barren, it lacks beauty and fascination. With all it's might it still cannot comprehend (and at this point he grabs kirk's arm) this simple feeling. AND THEN THIS TO HOMO GAYS LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO SCREAM AND CRY. GOOD. COOL. OKAY. FINE. NICE.

Then mister Spock says that machine is like a child, and it's needs, and as many of us - HE LOOKS AT KIRK - needs without knowing what it needs. YEAH MAN TELL US. TELL US. OKAY COOL FINE GREAT NICE AWESOME.

at the end of the film machine evolves because it has known love and therefore it know has feeling. Spock says it might be their next step in evolution and when mccoy tries to tease him and says that now it has to deal with illogical human emotions SPOCK. THE MAN WHO THIS WHOLE TIME WAS SPITTING AT THE EMOTIONS AND MAKING A BIG STATEMENT THAT HE FOR THE LOVE OF LIFE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH EMOTIONS AND HOW STUPID THEY ARE, is like "yeah sure, now it has to deal with emotions". Calmly. Without a fight. He's just admitting it.

And when everyone assume he would want to go back on vulcan and continue his practice he's like "nope i don't need it anymore I'm staying here"

And now I NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE FUCK ELSE CAN I READ THIS MOVIE EXCEPT FOR "SPOCK, PREVIOUSLY ASHAMED OF HIS LOVE, FINALLY FOUND BEAUTY IN IT AND MADE PIECE WITH HIS EMOTIONS AND HIS LOVE TOWARDS KIRK.

EXPLAIN.

PLEASE.

I'LL BE WAITING.

thinking about rodney calling john kirk all the time and how it's very ironic bc kirk and spock are like. The Gay Ship and i started thinking about the rest of the city assuming this is some like... code word between them? like rodney calls john kirk so often (and always around ladies that are flirting) and i think the atlanteans would just be like "well that's clearly code for 'lets fuck later'" and like it becomes so well known that johns fully aware of this and whenever rodney calls him kirk he's like. weirdly jealous and upset about it idkidk i'm just. thinking a lot about rodney calling john kirk the implications

some long overdue star trek content w my new favourite meme template

I am ranting at the night sky, Grandpa Arsene leaves men and women strewn about his bed, sexual conquests like decorations, and stole the blood-pumping heart straight out of a man’s chest in episode three to extend his own life

Our young Lupin gives equal billing to his cohorts, tenderly placed his palm on his best friend’s chest, struggled to make eye contact, and then said “did I manage to steal it?” And he wants to go and join Jigen in his adventurous life

I am once more (read: always, which is in fact a hyperbole) in my feels about Discovery Spock and Michael.

So I attempted my very first Spock fic!

Unexpected Questions Over Tea is a one-shot sibling bonding extravaganza, with some sprinkles of silliness. Rated G.

Season 2's "Metamorphosis" sure hits harder after watching the movies. Jim describes love as feeling like the other person is a part of you. Well you say Spock is the other half (the noblest half in fact) of your soul like 5 times during the search for Spock, care to elaborate on that?

Snw literally has an episode where a character ships two same sex characters together even though they aren’t together in a story and goes into a nebula to rewrite the story to make her ship explicit and then proceeds to live forever with Debra. Curious.

curious to see what the majority of people do in these types of situations

reblog with your answers/stories cause i am super curious

I ended up reading The Price of the Phoenix and while it didn't make me want to bleach my eyes like Killing Time, I still didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. Don't get me wrong, the homoeroticism was intriguing to me, but the actual writing and storyline itself left me with a headache. I think I get my hopes up with these books, given all of the possibilities that the written word has for Trek, and it inevitably sets me up for disappointment lol

Gray-Ace/Sex Repulsed SNW Spock: Feeling Seen as a Graysexual Man 💜🖤🤍

Spock being gray-asexual and sex repulsed/neutral is basically 100% canon at this point thanks to Strange New Worlds, there’s very little denying it. And! I am SO happy!!

We never get talked about, especially not us ace dudes, and certainly not on-screen! I feel so goddamn seen by SNW Spock in this regard it’s kinda crazy.

Spock is out here RUNNING away from T’Pring, his own goddamn fiancé, because he’s not emotionally attracted to her enough and/or hasn’t known her long enough to be comfortable having sex with her for the most part. That absolutely tracks!

I mean, he’d rather cut his shore leave short to go help space dad than have obligatory highly logically commemorative engagement sex after T’Pring proposed to him! Even though he said yes! (Because he’s An Idiot 💕)

The one time they did do the deed was because they hit an emotional breakthrough understanding each other, or at least felt like they did. *cue Looking For Love (In All The Wrong Places)*

And even AFTER that, Spock NOPES the fuck out (complete with a tea spit take) when T’Pring brings up human sex stuff in Serene Squall. And they’re not even in person it’s a fucking Zoom call! 😂😂😂 They are SO not at all on the same page! Poor guy!! Chapel, Christine honey please help a guy out and tell him what asexuality is! Please! It’ll make things so much less painful for him for the love of gods!

If y’all think SNW’s Spock arc changed the fact that he canonically has an extreme aversion to sex (at the very least sex with T’Pring) I really don’t think we’ve been watching the same show??

The fundamental thing wrong with their relationship is Spock straight up doesn’t wanna have sex with her. But he has NO idea how to articulate it! That’s a BIG deal! And super relatable!! He’s doing literally everything else other than tell her he doesn’t like sex. He’s avoiding her through work, he has sex with her because it feels like he should, he cuts the most casual conversation about sex short because he’s uncomfortable!

Like, I have BEEN where Spock is right now, with so many relationships!! Some partners understood, some of them really, r e a l l y did not. And I didn’t know how to label it until a while after I started having serious adult relationships.

I also definitely know what it’s like to feel compelled by the expectations of your culture or partner or family to be more intimate with somebody than your ever going to be comfortable with. No matter how much you love or feel emotionally/physically/aesthetically attracted to them.

None of that is gonna change the fact that you Do Not Like Sex, you can experience sexual thoughts/desires and still dislike having sex! Spock is struggling the way a lot of people who fall on the ace spectrum do, myself included!

Anyway, Spock is and always has been ace and I am HERE for the queer representation, even if they aren’t saying it out loud 🖖🏻 (yet?)

my dad (once again watching his nightly star trek): you gotta come in and see this. this planet doesn’t have two sexes or gendered pronouns. SHE told this guy from the enterprise they all use an untranslatable pronoun. they’re all. they’re all the same but this guy is wooing this LADY and. and turning HER not gay. isn’t that great it was the nineties and they predicted the 2020s but he’s turning HER straight.

me (exasperated, tired, and queer): ok sure buddy but the thing is. the thing is. they were never gay. or they were because same sex technically but that’s the norm on their planet is same sex so yes they’re all gay but it’s still gay for this specific person to like him. because they’re not a female or male they’re not binary nonbinary even one might say. it’s even more gay actually because it’s radical in their society, it’s other. don’t you see???

my dad (deeply confused): so then what’s the anti counter gay?

me: what?

him: what?

Spock would listen to Smalltown Boy by Bronksi Beat send tweet

Also worth mentioning, right now Star Trek is falling behind on the diversity scale. Last time I heard anyway.

Making Jim and Spock a canon couple?

That brings them back on the board of the diversity (actual rep) race. Being able to challenge so many people’s view points, and really getting them to question their biases? That’s a power move.

Too bad they’ll never do it.
