Your human side can be a source of strength.

#star trek strange new worlds #snw #snwedit #strange new worlds #t'pring and chapel: 'feelings between chapel and you are completely impossible' #spock: 'funny how it's exactly what i've been telling myself over and over again' #no but seriously #i love the place they're actually in #which is that feeling of 'i feel comfortable with that person in a way that tells me feelings would develop very quickly' #i don't know if spock is aware of it or if he's in full denial #i think it's the latter #but chapel is DEFINITELY aware of it #'you would never pursue a rs between us hence there's no feelings between us' #chapel pls #there's no logical connection between these two statements and you know it #which brings me to #isn't this the perfect set up for amok time? #right now t'pring is maybe more accepting of spock's human side than he himself is #but i can see that acceptance stopping short of spock developing feelings for a human #he wouldn't even have to act on it #but right now t'pring is SO SURE he could not possibly ever fall in love with a human #and spock would agree #except this is not how feelings works #and if one day t'pring sees the possibility of these feelings in spock #i can see that souring their relationship in an irremediable way #*mine
