Straight friend: Will you sensitivity read my book for my lesbian best friend character?

Me, two weeks later: The lesbian best friend is absolutely perfect. Here's 16 pages of notes detailing the incorrect things you said about Star Trek.

correcting star trek inaccuracies counts as removing offensive content for queer readers

Biggest downgrade in cinematic history. Every other aspect of the j'jambramsverse could be perfect and I'd still hate him for this alone. Turning the sexiest evil big tiddy space eugenicist into some uwu softboi in a windbreaker. Banging my head against the wall. He doesn't have any swag. Where's the cunt???????????

remember when Jim introduced Spock to his own parents lmao we stan a legend

They definitely brought this story up during the wedding.

Sarek did it.

“Not so many know, but once James introduced me to my own son…”

Funny as that is, this reads as an absolute POWER MOVE to a father not proud of his son. “Look at that, he’s my First Officer because he’s AWESOME. You know who isn’t? You.”

No no no. You don’t understand. Kirk DOESN’T KNOW that this is Spock’s father. He’s talking up his first mate to the Vulcan Ambassador that Spock never bothered to mention is his DAD because their father-son relationship is THAT BAD. This is a power move but it’s not Kirk’s, it’s Spock’s XD

You take one look at that vulcan salute and tell me it isn’t the BIGGEST shit-eating grin

🖖 (derogatory)

live long and fuck you

star trek tos doodles so far!

childless cat man and his cats

I'M LOSING MY MIND what is the point of "dig in there mr. spock" ? why did they write that??? spock regularly gives jim massages? in public? on the bridge???WHAT? whY? why does he stop her when he realizes it's NOT spock???? it's somehow more professional that way?! was it for laughs?? IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!! WHY!!!!

It's even better in the books because Jim is thinking about how he can always rely on Spock when his back is acting up

"He couldn't start using the female crew as personal masueses." But you can use Spock as your masuese. On the bridge. In front of everyone.

Shore Leave

(Theodore Sturgeon)

Captain James Kirk slumped in his chair and contemplated his viewscreen. At least this planet was not emitting torpedoes or mysterious signals, for once. He sincerely hoped it wouldn't start anything; he wasn't at all sure he could deal with another Problem. Even his mind felt sluggish.

He became vaguely aware of footsteps nearing him; he couldn't allow himself to slouch like this. He straightened up with effort and felt a stab of pain in his back.

"Anything from the landing party yet, Mr. Spock?"

"They should be sending up a report momentarily, Captain." Spock glanced at him. "Is something wrong?"

"Kink in my back. Yes, just about there."

A strong hand touched, assessed and began to knead the spastic muscle, He could always rely on Spock.

"Just a little higher. Ohh--yes. Just there, Spock. Harder--push hard . . ." But Spock was standing in front of him.

"What--?" Her hands skillfully working, Yeoman Tonia Barrows smiled as he turned his head. He couldn't start using the female crew as personal masseuses. Damn. "Thank you, Yeoman," he said hastily. "That's sufficient." It had helped.

"You need sleep, Captain," said the girl hesitantly. "If it's not out of line to suggest--"

Also... Theodore Sturgeon. It's always Theodore Sturgeon.

i love spirk but the thing is that bones has to be there. like it doesn’t have to be romantic necessarily but for better or for worse for richer or for poorer in sickness and in health he is in that relationship.

signore e signore spirk. e bones.

I have been considered this for a long time

Well, who knew. 😏

Just wanna paint some 👁️ 👁️

If Spirk became canon tomorrow I would be all over it but it will never stop bugging me that Kirk is Spock's superior. Of all the fics I've read (which is admittedly not a lot), I think HR shows up in like... one. Did the HR budget go to tribble maintenance or something. Starfleet where are you

I feel like realistically they can’t stop people from fucking on a five-year mission to deep space. What are they gonna do, send an encrypted message to the Neutral Zone to tell the command team to quit screwing each other? It’s not gonna work. What they can do is flood their networks with warnings about the dangers of fraternization (which no one takes seriously) and give the lawyers a shit Tom of money to deal with the inevitable thousand and one nepotism and abuse of power lawsuits

lol yeah probably, for some reason I was thinking there would be an HR rep onboard the ship, but they'd probably be borderline useless trying to keep 400+ people in line

I mean there was that one episode where those two crew members almost got married and everyone seemed cool with it. Maybe in the future everyone just Trusts Each Other
