Insane that people are just normal about things they like instead of making it 98% of their personality for the next 27 years of their life.

Me on the other hand? I saw a pointy- eared, little alien bitch say “I always have been and always shall be yours” to another dude and decided that I would spent half my paycheck on fanart of them.

I've read hundreds of Star Trek TOS fics by now and it never ceases to amuse me how many different ways there are to fuck up Spock's characterization...now hold on just a minute - this post has a more interesting point than “fanfic writers stupid”, I promise you.

Every time, it's a spin on the massacre wheel. It's kind of amazing. Will he be overly emotional to the point where he's not himself anymore? Will he be so cold it's unpleasant and kind of hard to understand how he's lived to this point? Will he be extremely horny for no good reason? Will he speak in a way that sounds complety wrong?

I chuckle and shake my head. Of course, I KNOW what Spock is like, and MY interpretation of him is the most perfect and correct one. Obviously. He's just a very nuanced character, formed by many people in an unconventional way, with traits that seem to contradict each other at first but ultimately form a rich and unique character that so many people fell in love with specifically because he's so complicated...

Or...is he?

Let's entertain the idea that there isn't one correct interpretation of Spock, that all of these messy bits of characterization are not part of a bigger picture, but...just what they are: a product of many people with starkly different visions, working on a show that refuses to properly develop its characters. What then? Well, then Spock is a Rorschach test. Each viewer connects the random dots in their own way, and ignores the ones they don't like.

Let's use an example: me! In my interpretation of Spock (the most correct one, of course) he is, first of all, gay and on the asexual spectrum, reserved, largely uninterested in casual flirting or sex. When he is interested in the aforementioned things, he tends to be quite ashamed of it.

Makes sense, right? I can show you plenty of evidence for why that could be true. However, in the beginning of the first bloody season, Uhura sings a song about how Spock is actually kind of a heartthrob who likes to drive women insane with how hot he is, and Spock smiles. He smiles at her, as if agreeing and being very amused by all this! This interaction goes against pretty much everything I think about Spock. So what do I do? I explain it away in the most bizzare fucking way possible. See, Uhura and Spock are friends (there is no evidence for this), and Uhura knows everything I've just told you about him (through telepathy I guess? Not like he'd ever tell her!) and she's just trolling him (why would she do that? That is NOTHING like Uhura!). I need to do some Olympics-level mental gymnastics here, the opposite of Occam's razor.

“But Danny,” I hear you say, “it's just the start of the show! They hadn't figured out his character yet!”

To which I say: you can say that about anything! You can blame it all on a bad writer for that episode, and ignore virtually any scene that doesn't jive with your headcanons. It's there, and I can't ignore it.

So...how am I different from the people that want Spock to be thar heartthrob Uhura is singing about? That evidence is as much a part of canon as my favorite lines. Well, I'm not any different, that's the thing. And all those writers I complained about also have a point.

It's kind of a nihilistic take, I know, but maybe the reason Spock is such a cultural icon is because he is...whatever you want him to be: just concrete enough to spur on your imagination, yet vague and contradictory enough to let your brain fill in the gaps.

Don't get me wrong: I absolutely do not believe in this. In my mind, it just so happens that I'm one of the, like, 5 people ever who truly understood Spock (and one of them is Jim Kirk himself). But I still think it's something worth thinking about next time you're mad at a fic.

What is Mcspirk Bingo?

It's an always ongoing event where you are given a bingo card filled with 24 prompts + a free space. You sign up for a card and are sent one within a week of signing up.

Rules:

Whatever you create (fic, art, video, gif, graphic, etc.) has to include mcspirk (platonic or as a ship. QPRs are 100% valid.)

Tag this blog when you post your work so I can reblog it.

Make sure you use #mcspirk bingo - on your posts so I can find them.

You can take however long you want with your bingo card. There's no due date.

When you get a bingo you can get a new card.

If you get a bingo you'll get a post congratulating you and highlighting your work. If you manage to fill in the whole card we'll add you to the Super Mcspirk Shipper list, with a link to your social media(s) of choice.

Here's the Ao3 collection where you can post your works to: Mcspirk Bingo

Frequently Asked Questions:

1.Is there any time limit?

Nope. Feel free to take as long as you want/need. Once you have a card it's yours to do with as you please for however long you want to work on it.

2. Can we do multiple prompts with one creation?

Absolutely! If you can work multiple prompts into anything then you can mark them all off.

3. Should we mark off prompts we've done and post the cards?

If you want too. That makes it easier for me to see who has gotten a bingo and who hasn't, but you don't have to if you don't wanna. All the cards have assigned numbers for me to go back and double check for whenever anyone gets a bingo.

Does this sound like something you want to do? Well then, sign up for a card at the link below:

Hi there, I saw your comment on that post about the AU where Spock programs the test as Tarsus IV rather than Kobayashi Maru saying you were writing that fic... did you ever post the link to that? I was really interested in reading it, but I'm terrible at navigating the tumblr interface, so I figured it may be more expedient to just ask ^^;

I did not! Life happened and such. But you are not the first person to ask me about this, so I should probably actually go do that… I’ll go pull up my drafts today and try to remember where I left off <3

So i just watched Star Trek: The undiscovered country and in a way,this is my list favorite Star Trek film.

It's a wonderful movie no doubt about it. It's essentially a murder mistery/political thriller taking place in space and it's SO WELL DONE. Alas,it is also goodbye.

TOS despite it's problems (and it has a lot, season 3 I'm looking at you) is my favorite era of Star Trek. It's a fitting goodbye, I'm glad they got to end it with this beautiful piece of art but still...parting is such a sweet sorrow indeed.

Farewell for now. Live long and prosper.🖖

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

Time for a short fic to cleanse our palates after all the Novel length recs I've been throwing at you recently!

This story by the wonderful @twinkboimler takes place, over multiple nights, during City on the Edge of Forever while Kirk and Spock are sharing their room in the flop house.

Jim and Spock are sharing a bed and Jim is mulling over multiple theories about why he's having trouble sleeping.

Enjoy 😉🔥

broke: the makeup in tos was just stage makeup and it was never intended to be seen in high definition, therefore we should assume the characters weren’t meant to be seen as wearing makeup

woke: spock woke up every day and chose to slay in that purple eyeshadow and everyone else thought he looked so hot that they started doing it too

I’ve only got three possible reactions to watching a TOS episode:

“I can’t believe this aired” (the worst plot you’ve ever seen on tv)

“I can’t believe this aired” (a piece of media so beyond its time and still relevant to today’s discussions, that I’m surprised it didn’t got censored at the time it went on air)

“I can’t believe this aired” (gay as fuck)

Watching Star Trek IV

Whale biologist: why do you hang around with that weird guy who calls you admiral and why are you so close?

Kirk: *hesitates*

Whale biologist, who lives in San Francisco in the 80s and is rapidly drawing many correct conclusions: that’s okay we don’t have to talk about it.

#she really said oh y’all’s are gay okay #Spock really was not giving off ‘straight Everyman’ in this film #the entire crew are dressed in different flavors of extremely homosexual #this movie is glorious #memory loss Spock is making me wanna cry tbh #it’s so gay (fun) instead of gay(tragic and insane) like the other three #star trek #star trek tos #spock #tos spock #james t kirk #k/s #spirk #tos spirk #star trek iv: the voyage home #the one with the whales
