Sneak peek of the front and back cover of my first ever zine! Heard it was Spock's bday today and, well, what else could I do?

I'm hoping to finish and post it tomorrow!

(ID under cut)

[Image ID: Two images of a small paper zine, drawn in black ink on white paper and photographed on top of holographic material.

Image 1: The front cover of the zine. The title is WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MR SPOCK! The o in love is a heart shape, and the dot of the exclamation mark is the Starfleet chevron. A doodle of Spock's head is in between the M and R of Mr, with emphasis lines coming from him. Underneath the title, it says: BY Jim Leonard Artie. Jim and Leonard are written in different handwriting and are both crossed out. The i in Artie is dotted with a star. The page is watermarked 'aerialworms'.

Image 2: The back cover. At the top it says HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPOCKO! 06/01/24. The majority of the page is taken up with a drawing of Spock, in his Starfleet uniform, from the shoulders up, wearing a striped party hat with a pompom that resembles a tribble. There is confetti falling around him. He does not look impressed. The page is watermarked 'aerialworms'. /End ID]

i'm sure the main tags do not want to hear my thoughts about my strange new worlds and related fandoms marathon, so i'm back to tagging things #trekathon. if you also do not want to hear them, please filter!

this is the part where i confess my sins (i have literally only watched the pilot of strange new worlds and have been faking all along) (because of that thing where when i will love something too much i need to stand on the other side of the street and watch it through binoculars) and then:

q&a:

"no need to shout, ensign spock" is the funniest deep cut alksdjglsj

it was so funny i had to text my ex immediately

HI HOW ARE YOU HOPE YOU'RE ALIVE so remember how fucking funny the cage is

i was going to say that "unsentimental" is probably not how i would have described captain dad under my currently understood definition of that word, but then i realize this is about "the cage" versions of these characters and i'm loving the nuance

i really don't want to ship pikeuna but i'm probably gonna aren't i

"why don't you want to ship pikeuna little red?" well see pike/vina first wired my brain as a youth and then took it out, cleaned it, and updated it to a new operating system in discovery season two

also i'm so sorry the we the people demand it become canon now discourse is tiring even from across the street with binoculars

star trek ships aren't supposed to become canon they're supposed to make you chew drywall and exchange mimeographed zines through the mail for fifty years

feel free to refer me back to this post if i start signing change dot org petitions about this next week

i miss the definite article on "the enterprise" when will she return from the war 😭

so seeing the elevator shaft makes me realize that the terrifying cavernous spaces and weird lack of spatial logic inside the new trek ships probably arose because someone was like "wait how do the turbolifts actually just go wherever?" and then hollowed out the ship like a jack-o-lantern as an answer

since i'm already here at the beginning of smiley spock's adventures, i think the cage is next?

#trekathon #i'll have to think about which discovery episodes belong in this #yes i am still across the street with binoculars i'm just kind of sticking my toe off the curb and watching for traffic
