Me: oh yeah Sarek and Spock both entered a vulcan lute contest but Sarek won, that happened canonically right?? Right???!
Reality: No, it just happened in possibly several fics and the google has nothing on this matter... you good bro??
now I have no clue what is real
WAIT WAIT YOURE NOT CRAZY it was from a deleted scene!! Originally meant for “Elaan of Troyius” Literally the best I can do as evidence right now tho is a screenshot from memoryalpha because all links I can find directly to the script are broken?? And I don’t have the novelization BUT the point is we didn’t imagine this out of nothing lmao, it wasn’t the fanfic brainrot this time. Sarek actually IS that guy he actually would and did do this
Yep, deleted scene from "Elaan of Troyius" (just a snippet here):
