The little look between Chekov and Yeoman Landon (and even the security officer behind them). What does it mean? is it:
a) Chekov has been telling everyone that Kirk and Spock are in love but it was hard to get others to believe. This is his, "I told you so" face.
b) They, and most of the crew, ship their two superior officers and are inwardly gushing, excited to share the details after the mission is all over.
c) They have a betting pool on how much Kirk can flirt with their oblivious XO. Big points for the skin-to-skin contact there so someone just won a lot.
Same vibes, same feelings... šš

Star Trek (the original series) 2x01
For those of you who didn't watch Star Trek: Spock thought he had killed James T. Kirk, the Captain of the USS Enterprise (Spock is the Sciene Officer of the ship and the First Commander), but he survived - thanks to Dr Leonard "Bones" McCoy who is a Senior Medical Officer on the Enterprise. Spock is half-human (his mother was from the Earth) and half-Vulcan (Vulcan is a name of his planet - and the race there). Vulcans are tactile telepaths and empaths - meaning each time they touch someone they can read their minds and feel their emotions. That's why they always try to avoid unnecessary contacts - and Spock always emphasise how proud he is to be a Vulcan - he was raised in a rigid and sometimes severe Vulcanian culture which suppresses all the emotions in a person. Pure logic - that's what all the Vulcans aspire to. But Spock is not like that - he shows his emotions from time to time, and Jim Kirk is the only person on the whole ship who is allowed to touch him and hug him whenever he wants. Even when the situation doesn't require that. šš In times of life-or-death situations or when Spock feels sentimental, he calls his Captain "Jim" which Kirk not-so-secretly adores. š No wonder these two charachters are shipped lol. The ship's name is Spirk, and I like it so much.
Later, Spock called Jim Kirk "my t'hy'la" which translates from Vulcan as "my friend, my brother, my lover." So... They are almost a canonic couple. š
Fun fact: this TV show was shot in the mid 1960s when the situation with representation was much worse than today. So it was very bold move from TPTBs of the show - and from William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy who played Captain Kirk and The First Officer Spock respectively. They had an AMAZING chemistry on the show, and they were best friends in real life. "To boldly go where no man has gone before," huh. I like this line from the show's intro. It can be interpreted in one way or another.
I wanted to add videos to this post but alas, Tumblr says it allows to put only one video per one post. Damn you, Tumblr. I spent so much time making them.
I honestly think that the reason that twitter and tik tok think that tumblr is dead is that it does not have an algorythym that spoon feeds you content in the same way, there's no fyp and there's no news feed in the same way and people come here not realising they actually have to follow creators to see content.
hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)
there is delaware (state) and delaware (river)Ā
both are equally strange
the state is a tiny little cryptid thing
the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.
the state tries to me more important with itsĀ āim the first state!!!ā bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
Oh Kirk-
