I am Nancy's Fave Anon

Spock: Thank you, Dad. …Why is everyone staring at me?

Uhura: You just called Captain Pike ‘dad.’ You said ‘thank you, Dad.’

Spock: What? No, I did not. I said thank you…man.

Pike: Do you see me as a father figure, Spock?

Spock: No! If anything I see you as a bother figure as you are always bothering me.

Number One: Hey! You show your father some respect!

Spock: I did not call him Dad!

Watching Strange New Worlds and omg I have such a crush 😭

STRANGE NEW WORLDS

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022- ) ↳ Every character in every episode: Uhura in The Elysian Kingdom, 1x8

Every goddamn frame of Beanie Spock is a reaction image

Rukiya M’Benga ran off with an alien entity after it helped her write fanfiction for her favorite story and she was so real for that.

So here’s how it goes

We all know Sam Kirk dies in TOS

Sam Kirk is in SNW

He’s okay. Interesting dynamic with Jim. But we don’t get involved with him cos we know he dies.

Subspace Rhapsody happens and Sam Kirk supports Christine, sings her backup, dances with the girls, thinks the Klingon song is a bop and loves every second of the ship now being a musical.

AND NOW WE ALL LOVE SAM KIRK AND DON’T WANT HIM TO DIE. Save Sam Kirk at all costs!

I’m seeing people plan all sorts of ways in which sweet, adorable, fun-loving Sam Kirk can live.

(I wonder if they knew how much we’d love him after that episode)

james t kirk walking through the enterprise for his FIRST OFFICIAL ENTERPRISE ASSIGNMENT (his first real (temporary) commission on the ENTERPRISE! baby boy's dream job! second time on this fancy deck EVER!) losing his absolute mind like is this. a thing. that ships do. and no one told me? at ANY point in The Academy??? Or is it just the flagship? I mean they ARE the best, so maybe Pike's on to something? Was that energy pulse a signal? Damn the choreography is impressive — yeah, I suppose I can see this being helpful for emergency drills, or at least morale... and it's just like being on an old Earth ship, which you have to admire. I wonder if they do historic shanties too! Wow! Commander Una really can do anything, is her vocal range also enhanced? Asking is almost definitely a microaggression, come on Jim, be better. ok, it's gotta be just the Enterprise, Farragut never... except, our command officers are somewhat considered killjoys? Maybe its like how some ship cultures tend more pants over skants? no, someone would have told me before now if this was a normal crew activity. But if it's not standard, how is everyone in such perfect harmony that's GOT to take serious practice. Unless its like an old school hazing, trial by fire deal... then I can't be the only one out of the loop on this. Oh shit, what if it's — oh good God I should have taken a music elective — Gary told me straight to my face that my course load was too narrow on command, my career councilor even said that I could benefit from more arts in my schedule! FUCK! They must have taught this in one of those easy credit intro to federation music seminars and everyone who looks at my file knows I'm an uncultured idiot who — oh I am also singing. huh. right yes of course the lyrics are acknowledging the oddity of... guess there's some pathogen or anomaly — thank the lord i haven't been missing something major for — wait no, being compelled to sing in unison is also a problem—

THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS

SNW episode 7: Lower Decks crossover! Cartoon shenanigans, wacky hijinks, set phasers to fun!!! 🤩🪐🖖

SNW episode 8: Now, who wants to see some battlefront trauma and war flashbacks?

SNW episode 9: Get ready for Star Trek's first ever MUSICAL episode! That's right, folks! Singing, dancing, starry-eyed wonder, even some Klingon pop!!! 🎶🌌🎵

SNW episode 10: How about that musical, huh? Haha that was crazy! Anyway back to the Gorn *splatters blood all over every single available surface on set*

Spock and T'Pring episodes are fun because the two of them are trying so hard to make the relationship work while the rest of us are sitting at home going "Yep, I can totally see how this is canonically doomed to end with homoerotic violence."

Good question.

SPOCK in STRANGE NEW WORLDS

-> 1.07 The Serene Squall

Y’all the moment when Kirk and Spock actually meet in strange new worlds is so perfect because Chapel, clearly not invested in the chess game, spent the start of the episode trying to define her newfound relationship with Spock as a situationship, even though it was the anthesis of what Spock wanted after his last relationship just blew up in his face because he wasn’t open and committed enough.

Meanwhile Kirk, watching them from a distance, wanted to engage with Spock on his terms. On his level. Playing chess. And then Spock makes the first actual move to interact because he too, wanted something equal. In that case, both of them shitting on Sam.

And they begin their relationship with a Vulcan kiss as opposed to a human one. (I know that’s not what the writers were going for but shhhh let me have my fun this is the most spirk we’re getting for at least 2 years)

What I’m getting that is despite Kirk and Spock’s love of 3D chess, their newfound relationship is a level playing field.
