I was going to make a textpost similar to this last night but I went to sleep instead. But then, when I was doodling... You know how sometimes you look into the mirror and see your parents? Yeah.

“Let Me Help (You Get Through Classic Lit)”
My piece for the AOSR Zine, 2023! @aosrenaissance
When you are dyslexic, a ‘stack of books with legs’ is a logical partner. Kirk thinks the most romantic sentence in the English language is "Let me help”, but Spock knows it is “Let me read to you”... even if he has a habit of falling asleep.
[ID] Digital fanart shows Kirk and Spock lying in a bed with blue sheets. Kirk is leaning against Spock's shoulder while he reads to him from a red book. Spock has long shoulder length hair and is smiling peacefully while Kirk gazes up at him. Kirk is wearing yellow pyjamas and Spock is wearing green robes and a cape. The book is titled “Let Me Help” and decorated with abstract shapes. Writing on the spine says Clive Harding, and quotes on the blurb are visible. “Floating through dead space is an empty vessel. Its contents will change the course of Aera's life forever.” “What can be said about this book which hasn't been said in the Chronicles of all our yesterdays?”- Spencer West. “I laughed and cried and laughed again.”- Everyone “A timeless classic [text obscured] “- Vulcan [text missing]” [end ID]

Peaceful Orbit
This was originally going to be something else, but the brighter colour scheme looked better.

Kirk gets a little jumpy on away missions…
I started drawing this a year ago and lost the save file when my computer was acting up, but I just found a screenshot of it thanks to @upper-pylon-3 and decided to clean it up a little.
[ID] An abstract digital watercolour painting which shows Kirk knocking Spock to the ground, on a green planet with a pastel green sky. Their faces haven’t been drawn. They’re both dressed in their blue and gold Starfleet uniforms, and surrounded by tall blue and green grasses. A watermark in the bottom right corner reads “marlinspirkhall”. [End ID]

I Danced In The Stars
Something about Vulcan Katras got to me.
[Image ID] digital fanart on a blue background shows Spock suspended in space, with golden stars beneath him. He has long hair, which is floating above him. He’s glowing yellow. A poem to the left of him reads “It used to be/ I danced in the stars/ Now/ I float in the space /Between them/ Motionless/ Their beauty has not dimmed. Text beneath this reads Poem By Herenya_Writes, art by Marlinspirkhall. [End ID]

(Content warning for blood and injury, blood tw).
Like Chess
This was my contribution to the 2021 This Simple Feeling Zine, issues #6. When the mods asked me if I wanted to make a 2-page spread, I didn’t have any idea what I wanted to draw. My mum suggested I draw something I’d already written, and I knew immediately I’d want to adapt “I Don’t Know”.
Thank you so much to the mods at @thissimplefeelingzine for letting me adapt it into a comic, and for all your guidance and help. It was really fun to create this a few months ago, and it’s so exciting to be able to hold an actual, physical zine I contributed to in my hands!
[ID] A Star Trek fan comic shows Kirk and Spock playing chess, and close ups on their eyes. The caption reads “Life, like chess, is a sort of dance…” And there is a close-up on Kirk’s hand, moving a chess piece. In the next panel, he is looking to the side and smirking as he says “Checkmate, Spock.” In the next panel, Kirk and Spock are standing in an alien ballroom, and Kirk extends a hand to Spock, who has his hands behind his back. Text reads “… A series of carefully-planned misstepps and stumbles,” and there is a close-up of Spock reaching out to take his hand. The next panel shows a purple background, where Kirk is coughing in the middle of a plume of smoke, and a red explosion behind him. Comic script reads “BANG!” in all-caps. A text box reads “After all, they say walking is just a series of controlled falls.” There is a close up of Spock looking concerned, as his hair is blown about by the explosion. In the next frame, he is supporting an injured Kirk, whose shirt sleeve has been ripped off. There are several gashes on his forearm, and the skin behind it looks burned. Kirk is touching his forehead with a hand and looks dazed, and his eyes are closed. There are more marks and scratches on the left side of his face (the viewer’s right), and a cut on his lip. The next panel shows him waking up in a hospital bed to realise that Spock is at his side, and he’s fallen asleep in a chair. He has a blanket wrapped around him. There are plants in the background and a large window looks out onto space. In the next panel, Kirk looks up. He has deep bags under his eyes, and he says “what do you want, Spock?” There’s a close up on Spock’s eyes as he replies “I do not know.” Then, the next panel cuts to him looking away, and pursing his lips as he looks pensive. A text box reads “But, he does.”
The second page opens with a shot of Kirk and Spock facing each other across the engine room, making intense eye contact. The warp drive is behind them, glowing warmly, and several textboxes read: “There are countless ways to mishear one another in life, but particularly on a starship. Misinterpretations… the hum of the engines can follow you anywhere. Even when you’re not aware of it, it’s there. In the background. Unspoken.” These are interspersed with images of Kirk and Spock’s eyes darting around as they try not to make eye contact with one another. The next panel shows Spock waking up in bed. The caption reads: “How Spock came to be curled up in The Captain’s bed, I’m sure you can guess.” It then shows an image of Kirk asleep on his side, with his hand curled up next to his head. Caption reads: “Perhaps there was a certain logic to it… Perhaps there wasn’t. And that’s why he felt the urge to go.” The next image shows Spock wearing pyjama bottoms with little pictures of the Enterprise on them, climbing out of bed. The next image shows a Vulcan Harp being packed into a harp case by Spock’s hands. The caption reads: “Before Spock departs for Gol, there is one perculiarity in Jim’s… Closing statement.” Spock tugs up his sleeves, and the next image shows a door hissing open, accompanied by a loud hiss, stylised onomatopoeically as “TSCHHHHT!” Outside the door, Spock hesitates, and closes his eyes for a moment. The caption reads “He doesn’t plan to return.” Then, the next image shows Spock sitting in bed in The Motion Picture, and giving Kirk the side-eye. The caption reads “But Life, like chess” [/text] and shows an image of Kirk and Spock kissing over a chess table, “Has a certain pattern to it.” The final panel shows Spock walking through a doorway wearing his black robes from TMP, as he clasps hands with Kirk. A watermark at the bottom of the page reads Marlinspirkhall 2021. [/End ID]

Spuhura Bridgerton AU- For the 2021 Uhura Bang
This is a response to the prompt “Spuhura Bridgerton AU.” I’ve never consumed the show or the books, so obviously I was the perfect candidate for tackling that prompt /lh. As far as I can tell, Bridgerton is mostly about Vibes™️ rather than plot, so I hope this is suitable for the person who sent in the prompt. Their robes aren’t period-accurate, but they’re probably in a holodeck anyway.
[Image ID: Fanart of the characters Uhura and Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series kissing in front of a window. Uhura has her hair tied up, and Spock has curly hair. They’re both wearing robes- Nyota’s are blue, and she’s wearing what looks like a denim jacket with puffy sleeves. She’s holding Spock’s arm and he has his hands on her waist. He’s wearing green robes with yellow/gold detailing. The floor is made up of diagonal checkers, which are yellow and black against a beige background. Outside the window is a field of yellow and pink flowers, and there are pine trees in the distance. The sky is a pale, overcast blue, and there are three flower pots in view. A watermark in the corner reads “marlinspirkhall”. [End Image ID]
