#also. VULCANS?!

*tevye voice* but on the other hand, it is impossible not to acknowledge some of the particularly christian themes in the wrath of khan--

#i understand the irony of using tevye here but i cannot hear 'on the other hand' without thinking of him #also. VULCANS?! #coded as jewish? christian? japanese? lets take a vote #in which everyone voting only votes for the group they belong to because they see similarities between their cultural experiences #and outlooks and spock's. #which. let me clarify. is a GOOD THING. me seeing some vulcan practices as distinctly japanese and others seeing it as something else is #WONDERFUL and exactly what star trek is about. would just. love to see the diversity of responses i'd get if i asked what people saw in #vulcans. i know some of the specific jewish elements nimoy brought to the table in his characterization of him re: the rationalists and #kabbalists/the greeting being a blessing #but im not interested in canon #im interested in what people see of themselves reflected in the vulcans #as individuals #captain's log #trek #i forgot what i was talking about #im writing abt the genesis planet for a big secret ent project and referred to it in my head as the 'jesus planet' and then went. that's #rich for someone who just said that vulcan philosophy more closely mirrors buddhism than western religions #because its uhhhh where spock was resurrected #hi everyone #whats going on with all of you

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!!!”

#star trek #Vulcans #Humans #not based on a specific thing #but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’ #who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field? #like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq #and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first #would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate #and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for #and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance #the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times #they were just dicks #and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it. #it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible #you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier #but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks. #that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on #and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post #but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks #and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be #replaced #hated that couple #if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us #(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀) #liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people #that no one else wanted to be friends with #I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone #this got long sorry 😭

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

#star trek #muppets #data tng #picard #tng #kermit #fan art #next gen #okay so like… #this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also #human is arbitrary #especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species #human is fucking arbitrary #data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans #but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize #nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion #or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify #we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading #in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets #and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard #Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled #just because they can't sing or travel by map

I think Vulcans should nuzzle their faces together when they like each other but it's like, not something you do in front of other people. That's something to do in private or if you're a little kid. Babies don't really know how to do this properly and are prone to just headbutting their parents/siblings instinctually. They want to 'get closer' to what they feel telepathically emanating from the people around them. This nuzzling is a form of telepathic communication but it's very unskilled (a baby can and will do it) and you only get broad feelings/thoughts from it. But that's alright bc typically the only feeling/thought you're hoping to get from or communicate with such an action is 'I like you'.

#-pulls the green screen down- this is interesting when considering Tuvok/Neelix. Think about it for a second then take a second more. #vulcans #Tuvok: -holding his baby- ...... / Baby: -excited- !!!!!! -headbutts him- / Tuvok: No. Nooo. Calm. #star trek #we can't let the humans know we nuzzle each other they're gonna be insufferable about it #Vulcan child sees their older sibling nuzzling with someone...oooo...I'm telling mom. #this is also sort of related to my headcanon that Klingons headbutt each other to show affection #which is allll sort of related to Ehergha/S'veyk #you are NOT allowed to nuzzle in school....'we were attempting to communicate' mhm. use your words.

sarek at a federation meet and greet in san francisco getting a space email from t'pau saying his son has killed captain kirk on vulcan during his ponn farr & can he deal with the inevitable diplomatic fallout because she simply doesn't care meanwhile some tipsy admiral next to him is busy telling him all about how kirk (alive and well) & his son just met & fought the god apollo (actually an alien) on a distant planet:

#sorry I know I said I'd stop posting about this but I have to get it outof my system #thoughts #star trek #tos #YEAH sarek technically retired at some point but udk maybe this is important. he must have been somewhere not on vulcan during amok time #and also I think it's funny

Huh Yknow what I just realized? Vulcans were Not warp capable during suraks time, so that means that when the romulans left, they would’ve had to leave the long way round, like old fashioned sci fi long haul missions where there’s a generation or two that are born and die on the starship

#imagining that fascinates me for some reason #Van talks #also whoops I’m realizing that I come up with random Star Trek thoughts faster than I draw things #I promise this is mostly an art blog #Star Trek #Vulcans #romulans

HANNIBAL STARTREK AU

HANNIBAL STAR TREK AU

I went with betazoid will cause I felt like it made the most sense, and I just also wanted to see him with extra huge big beautiful eyes

I didn't really think to much into hannibal being cardassian other than 1 - I thought Mads would look good with the cardassian makeup and that 2- that garak kinda reminded me of hannibal

-side note, I decied that in mizumono hannibal would use his claws instead of that knife he had.

#I'm going crazy over to many things rn so I'm mashing them all together by making everything into star trek #get ready for some reanimator startrek aus next week maybe #im also gona do saw but i have no idea where to go for that one #it doesnt have to make sense im just having fun #hannibal fanart #hannibal nbc #hanibal #hannibal lecter #hannigram #will graham #mizumono #tw blood #tw injury #star trek #star trek au #cardassians #betazoids #vulcans

[theshadowrealmitself]

I think a lot of Vulcans are like the “you’ve come to me with a problem, first instinct is to fix it” type to a more extreme, especially if the problem involves emotions

So when I imagine scenarios of like. a Vulcan going to the restroom during a fancy party and seeing an attractive Human crying in it, and it turns out they don’t see themselves as attractive because their date keeps complimenting everyone else a ton but only told them “nice outfit” and it got to them

And the Vulcan is just like “I have to fix this” and they start thinking of the problem like ‘Human thinks they’re unattractive > they aren’t so nothing can be done to their appearance to make them feel better > they feel unattractive because of their date > they need a better date’ and they just tell the Human “I am your date now, I will tell you how attractive you are without excessively complimenting others so that you feel inferior, so you will no longer have to experience this emotional turbulence”

And they just walk back to their table with a cute Human on their arm who looks like they were crying but is now beaming, getting together speedrun

#star trek #humans #vulcans #thinking about missing class again #I have a friend who takes the class who can share notes with me #but it’s a macroeconomics class #and I’m terrible at economics #so I’m wary about missing it #but I also hate having coughing fits in class

[pendraegon]

so like. are we all just not gonna talk about how gross that bacon eating scene was......

#i hope the snw writers blow up forever and ever. #going on the tag and seeing people laud and praise this ep. so so so gross for fucking real. #also do none of these writers know a thing about vulcans?????????????

"I'm so nervous about how much emotion Spock is showing because that means that something is going to have to close him up tighter than a clam at the end of this series so Kirk can spend the next 10 years shucking him like an emotional oyster" - my review of episode 1 season 2 of Strange New Worlds

#strange new worlds #snw #spirk #spock #kirk #also why chapel gotta be shipped with everyone #its unnecessary #my bro also had some rather good bits about the klingons being into snm #klingons are like prove you werent coming to attack us #and spocks like ill prove it with my enormous vulcan strength and punch #and the klingons are like dont threaten me with a good time #what im saying is star trek is my happy place

I think Vulcans should have their own version of a goodbye kiss which isn't a one-to-one equivalent but like, parents cup one or both of their childs' cheeks before they leave the house and when they come home as a brief telepathic check up on their wellbeing. If the child is feeling out of sorts the parent can help calm/settle them quickly. It becomes embarrassing at different ages like "Father! I am more than capable of maintaining my own equilibrium without your assistance or supervision." It's something most parents stop doing regularly after their child reaches some maturity milestone which proves they're able to regulate their own emotions (there is no agreed-upon age this is true so it varies from child to child. Within sibling groups you might get made fun of if your younger sibling reaches this milestone before you!) However, even into adulthood some Vulcans will be subjected to the practice every so often by a parent. Depending on your temperament this can feel insulting, just unnecessary, or...pleasantly familiar.

#married couples might also do this but it is considered 'childish' (overly cutesy) #very young children sometimes attempt to mimic this but they don't know what they're doing - like when a baby 'kisses' you by #just pressing their face against your cheek. It's not effective but VERY adorable!! #Vulcans #star trek
