remember this moment in tas?

big into taking that 60s retrofuturism utopian future that’s also got an inevitably dated sensibility that’s presented in tos and running with it. like sure we can cure nearly any physical ailment with ease and without any cost to the patient but we still call ptsd symptoms shell shock. we’re all free love but we’ve got a space navy so people can make up weird complexes about homosexuality for themselves. it’s the juice that tos remakes are missing i think. that and all the chunky buttons and beeping booping sounds

Approach with caution

It can be a story... There can be a fic... if somebody writes it.... No pressure

Your art is so beautiful, OP! I hope you like what it inspired me to write. Story is under the cut and on AO3.

Happy K/S day! I don't think I've ever shared this one on this blog, but here's a painting of mine from two years ago — a (slightly manipulated) screencap study from Conscience of the King, if I remember rightly.

Watercolour on hot pressed 100% cotton paper, using a limited palette. A5 size.

This one has been getting a few notes again, so I figured now was a good time to announce: this was part of my exhibition and is therefore for sale!

£40 + shipping (can ship worldwide), payment via PayPal. The piece is A5 sized including a 1cm border, on heavyweight 100% cotton paper and using archival/lightfast materials. More photos/further details available on request. Shoot me a message if interested -> (via tumblr DMs)

Sure sex is nice, but have you ever listened to love songs while thinking about Kirk and Spock?

I didn't see someone requested my Spirk: Sixteen Hours of Crying playlist, so here it is!

somewhere safe, somewhere you belong
