Me When Spock

The fact of the matter is, both Zachary Quinto and Ethan Peck are objectively attractive men but they look stupid as fuck in Spock hair & makeup, while Leonard Nimoy somehow becomes even hotter with pointed ears and a bowl cut. This is the universe's way of telling us only Nimoy is the true Spock vessel

I think it is very important for new Star Trek fans, especially new TOS fans to know that in 2008, George Takei, who played Sulu, got married to his partner of 23 years, Brad Altman, and at their wedding, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, and Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, served as Best Lady and Best Man.

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

I’m getting an influx of Star Trek fanart and I couldn’t help myself. I love Spirk but Spones stole my heart. 😗 their chemistry is so gooooddd

I’m really in love with the SNW dress uniform design, and can’t help but wonder how the TOS casts would look in them. So… Yes, That’s how it goes. 🥂✨
