Was encouraged to follow my heart and post my Star Trek au Rohan... he's still a mangaka he just managed to bribe his way onto a starfleet ship for inspiration.
I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.
It’s years before anyone explains it to him.
People keep gifting him robes with long white birds on them.
The fun thing is he would understand why people were getting him outfits with storks on them. That's a word, it's his name, straightforward. All the humans get him the same gag gift, but like, they're putting effort in at least. This is a genuinely nice outfit. Stork will be a walking zero-effort pun sometimes, rather than waste a perfectly fine robe.
It's fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.
Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.
I don’t watch Star Trek really but “Competitive emotional suppression with probability assessment and observation skills” is the most Vulcan leisure activity I can imagine.

Tried to do a neck pinch version but couldn’t get it to line up right, But this one works too…
A neck pinch is the flex tape of the Vulcan world.
old spock says vulcans can have a little emotions. as a treat
Concept: Jeff Goldblum as Spock’s Vulcan uncle.
Sarek: Ambassador this is... my brother Sevuk.
Sevuk of Vulcan: How is... uh everyone tonight? These robes are something, huh? I’ve always looked good in these high collars... you have great skin, anyone ever tell you that? Yeah.
Sarek: ...
You: Vulcans are descended from cats? What utter headcanon nonsense!
Me:
You: Cinematic Parallels
Me, an Intellectual: Vulcats
Vulcan Salute
So…I know there’s a lot of people that get pissed off when people tuck their thumbs in doing a vulcan salute. Yes, this is incorrect, but I’m not sure a lot of people know why! I’m here to explain it!
So Vulcan philosophy is based on five main concepts, all of which are represented in the hand sign.
Nome: The ring finger represents Nome, meaning “all”. All things in the universe combined make existance worthwhile.
Idic: Invinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. This is the pinky finger. To achieve knowledge, one must accept all diverse possibilities.
The Doctrine of the Domination of Logic: The middle finger is the belief that Logic should dictate every thought and action.
Reverence for Life: This is the index finger. Vulcans respect every aspect of life, no matter what the circumstances.
Privacy: This is the important part. The thumb stands alone to represent the high regard that the Vulcan people have for individual privacy.
Nome-Idic together is to represent the joining of diverse things in order to create more meaning. This is separated from Logic-Reverence for Life because Nome-Idic includes emotion. It recognizes that emotion creates meaning and beauty and is part of the Nome.
This solute, combined with the phrase “Dif tor heh smusma”(Live long and Prosper) is essentially a Vulcan telling you that you may believe anything you like and that he or she is respecting any opinion or way of life you may have. It is also them offering to teach you about themselves or anything they know, hoping for some knowledge in return, so both parties may better themselves.
Just thought this bit of information might be interesting/helpful!
Live long and prosper.
like i know there are a lot of fics out there where other vulcans are all “oh man, jim kirk’s so freakin HOT how’d spock get in his pants” but IF ANYTHING it’s actually the reverse. spock shows up on vulcan one day with Jim on his arm and all the other vulcans are OUTRAGED. They’ve spent years mooning (logically) over spock’s flaxen bowl cut. his dark eyes. his slightly lax emotional control that gives him just a hint of the “bad boy” vibe that we all know vulcans secretly go wild for. Sarek receives like a thousand bonding proposals a year from VSA graduates who all have google alerts set to notify them when spock gets a new xeniobiology article published. and then they find out. that the object of their (totally logical) affections. had the equivalent of a las vegas wedding with the human captain of his starfleet ship while in the middle of a five year mission. vulcans may be too logical to riot but on that day, a good many vulcans had to meditate for an extra hour or two just to contain their rage
You’ve heard about VULCAN NERVE PINCH
Now get ready for:
Wait, this is actually Amok Time plot
Vulcan: Why…are you…shaking hands…with that being?
Solkar, about to invent “First Contact Day”:

My kink is supposedly “emotionless” Vulcans being hopelessly devoted to their human partners and constantly internally screaming about it and trying really really hard to just be cool, man. Be COOL.
Fail.
It’s what at the what now?
That sounds terrifying they fight to the death during pon farr
anyone want to go to the bar? it’s Fuck-Or-Die Friday and I wanna do one of those things, doesn’t matter which

Universal CANON states that the MAJORITY of vulcans can’t form a telepathic bond on their own but the MAJORITY of Star Trek watchers wouldn’t know that because the most popular vulcan characters are all members of the House of Sarek, otherwise known as the ‘every time I touch a human I accidentally bond with them’ house
