Friends, strangers, I want to share with you something I long thought I’d hallucinated, but which today I have discovered was absolutely real.

In the 90s my mum went to a number of Star Trek conventions and would often come home with a fan made tshirt. I need you to understand that my mother, barely 5’ tall, a catholic who to this day goes to church every Sunday, who was never heard to utter a swear word until I was in my twenties, who taught Grade One for decades at the local primary school. This woman, pure and innocent, went to a Star Trek convention and not only saw this tshirt but PURCHASED IT and now it’s been rediscovered in the garage and I’ve never been happier in my life.

I asked her what she was thinking and she said that she thought it was funny but when she brought it home my dad was (aside from side splittingly amused) absolutely adamant that she couldn’t wear it out in public because SHE WANTED TO DO THAT!! Grade One teacher, church on Sunday mum wanted to wear this around town! Who IS this woman I thought I knew??

Anyway now I have this awesome tshirt and I sort of want to frame it.

Good day. THIS is the energy I want to see from SNW.

This one goes out to all my fellow spirk fans in the trenches this week. This is obviously the canon reason the SNW writers couldn't introduce Jim Kirk to Spock until this episode had occurred.

star trek fanfiction is the best kind because every so often you get stuff like this

(fic is "The Longest Year: More Enduring Than Copper -- Narrated by Leonard McCoy" by A_Noone, Hinya_O_Elena on AO3)

every few months some annoying motherfucker makes a post asking why it's called 'spirk' instead of 'spork' or 'kock' and the short, easy answer is: spirk is already the silly ship name, the og ship name is 'k/s' and the og og ship name is 'the premise', because spirk is a ship so old that it was around before ship names were invented. now never come into my house again.

yeah remember that one episode

man spock and kirk has an abhorrent amount of love parallels and homosexual subtext and just text

i hate them *affectionate*

Vulcans will say the most deep and meaningful shit and people will still say they have no emotions

Like "parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched" FUCK OFF YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME
