if i had a penny for everytime star trek wrote an incredibly autistic coded character, who happened to also be gay for the most bisexual character imaginable, id have 5 pennies, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that its happened 5 times, right?

I wanted to share this essay from Star Trek Lives! because holy shit, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Not only is this insanely romantic, but it’s significant because Gene Roddenberry and Leonard Nimoy were very involved in the creation of this book. The authors worked closely with them (and other members of the orginal cast!) on multiple other projects as well, and Roddenberry even wrote the foreword of the book and endorsed it. That’s... wow.

Spock, the unlikely, unknown and lonely alien, is seen and known, understood and loved, in a way that few men ever have been, and he is learning to see and love as few men ever have.

“The miserable have no other medicine but only hope.”

“Death’s door and he’s quoting Shakespeare.”

Uhura: What do you all intend on majoring in?

Kirk: Respecting women.

Chekov: Minecraft.

Bones: Criminal justice and psychology.

Spock: I'm terrified that I’ll lock myself into an interest that I’ll no longer be passionate about in a few years like all the other areas of study I’ve pursued over my life!

Scotty: Minecraft as well.

padre modo épico

Me, who grew up watching The Next Generation as a kid and hearing in fandom circles about Kirk/Spock lore: I bet TOS isn't that gay.

Me, watching TOS the last couple of weeks: LOL this is hella gay, every other shot is Kirk staring lovingly at Spock, I love it, let's have the next episode lads

Spocks heart eyes when Kirk starts to science

Triumvirate Eyes

I've just started to read "the Price of the Phoenix", the first Star Trek novel, and I have the physical need to share some Spirk highlights. Mind that the premise of the book is that Kirk is dead.

i would romance the shit out of bones in an otome game… i’d romance them all but bones x10000

a chair went through a wall but jim has never felt more relaxed

edit: ok i know the implications of vulcans high-fiving but was too lazy to draw a fist bump ahhhahahaa, that’s lit the reason 

SITH! OBI-WAN & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS BY ME. I always liked the idea of Obi-Wan corrupted by the dark side, so i made this. Star Wars really needs a what if show.

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

Shout out to the day i killed the queen via AO3, legendary (name of the fanfic is jigens sick adventure, yes it is a sickfic)

ORIGINAL SCENE DELETED FROM SCRIPT OF STAR TREK VI

141 INT. SPOCK’S QUARTERS 141 The lights are dim as Kirk knocks. He has shaved, showered and put on a fresh uniform. KIRK:  Spock? No answer. Kirk makes to hit the switch. SPOCK:  I’d prefer it dark. Fair enough. Kirk enters. KIRK:  Are you dining on worms? SPOCK:  (finally)  You were right: it was arrogant presumption that got us into this situation. You might have died. KIRK:  The night is young. Anyway, it was logical.  (he realizes he must feel his way) You know, you’re a great one for logic. I’m a great one for (shrugs) rushing in where angels fear to tread. We’re both extremists. Reality is probably somewhere in between us. Spock says nothing. Kirk runs a finger over dust. KIRK:  (continuing)  I was blind. I couldn’t see past the death of my son. I couldn’t trust. SPOCK:  (sighs) I too was blind. I knew about HER - and I did nothing. I trusted too much. KIRK:  You couldn’t have known she was listening the night I dictated that entry into my log. You were proud of her achievements as a Vulcan. SPOCK:  I was PREJUDUCED by those achievements. KIRK:  (understands) Gorkon had to die before I understood how prejudiced I was… Spock looks at him for the first time. SPOCK:  Can we two have grown so old and inflexible that we have outlived our usefulness?  (looks at Kirk)  Would that constitute a joke? KIRK:  Someone said the difference between comic and cosmic is the letter “S.”  You haven’t outlived your usefulness - to me. And you are not responsible just because she is also Vulcan - SPOCK:  I SHOULD have been - KIRK:  Not for the actions of another. No one is responsible for any actions but his own. Human beings - SPOCK:  But I am not human. I am only - KIRK:  Spock, you want to know something? Spock looks at him. Kirk kneels next to him. KIRK:  (continuing)  Everyone’s human. We’re too old to play games. We’re only human. He holds out his hand; after hesitating, Spock takes it, presses it to his forehead. Hard. HARDER.
