Either Spock or Data, you choose!

both!!!

Spock

(Also some Disco spoilers below fyi)

Favourite thing about them: Everything The sass - the humour - the jokes. He’s just so funny and witty and sarcastic, i love that.

Least favourite thing about them: Not so much a problem with Spock himself, but I wish there were more instances in canon where he established his boundaries firmly and didn’t have to walk them back. I feel like a lot of instances where he is made uncomfortable or upset, it’s treated like well that’s something u got to work on Spock, not that his feelings and discomfort is justified. I.e. in All our Yesterdays, no closure on him telling off McCoy’s xenophobia, its just kinda forgotten about/excused bc of time nonsense; in ST:Discovery Spock has lingering resentment about how Michael called him a half-breed etc. (albeit to try to protect him) but then he just....doesnt??? like two scenes after he knocks over the chess set feeling angry about her treatment of him he’s just like, ok we’re friends now and I’ll listen to your problems.....what??? That seemed so out of place and awkward. Like, I do want him and Michael to be reconciled and friendly, but in a realistic way, in a way that acknowledges both their feelings. Anyways.

Favourite line: “I am what I am Leila. And if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than anyone else.” (This Side of Paradise)

BrOTP: Nyota Uhura + Spock are the best friendship of all time.

OTP: SpockxKirk all day every day every way

NOTP: stop shipping Spock with Michael Burnham u nasties

Random headcanon: Spock continues to draw/paint into his adulthood to help relieve stress, or maybe as part of his meditation. It helps him balance and reflect, and allows him to explore his emotions in a more private setting.

unpopular opinion: I know everyone is horny for him, but even if he’s not ace, I still think Spock is not overly concerned about sex. He’s not kinky or secretly some kind of sex fiend or whatever happens in fanfic lol. He just wants to care for those he loves, and be shown tenderness in return. That’s all!!!

song I associate with them: honestly every song i listen to i force to fit with my trek daydreams/fic ideas haha. That said, Can’t Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon is an insanely perfect Spirk TMP song.

Data

Favourite thing about them: I love how genuine he is, and how earnestly he engages with everything around him. As soon as something interesting happens he drops everything to talk about it, and I love that about him. Best guy, favourite, so wonderful, wow

Least favourite thing: I really have nothing but good things to say about Data, but I wish that instead of always resigning himself to the fact that he’s not human/won’t feel things like a human that he would take the positive route and try to find a work-around. Like, maybe he doesn’t have human emotions, but he definitely does have a unique perspective, creativity, ability to make dynamic choices, reactions, etc. that make him a sentient being. Embrace who you are, Data, not who you’re expected to be!!

Favourite line: “It is the struggle [to be human] itself that is most important...the effort yields its own rewards.” (The Offspring)

BroTp: I think Data and Worf are underrated as best friends. They have a unique solidarity of not really fitting in with the other members of the crew. And they have a fun dynamic, with Worf being surly and stand-offish and Data being open and naive.

OTP: Geordi and Data are so adorable together, and they’re in love and they own twenty cats and its beautiful. I’m also here for an OT3 with Hugh!

NOTP: Don’t make him straight, don’t ship him with mean people, and not with Picard, lol.

Random headcanon: Data has a huge collection of the 24th century equivalent of tourist trap key chains with the names on the license plates. One from every planet that sells them. Everyone tells him they don’t have any value. He has seven hundred thousand of them, colour coordinated in a storage container. He wears them on a bracelet off duty. He just thinks they’re neat.

unpopular opinion: I love that part in Fistful of Datas where Brent Spiner is in drag. I know its not really data but omg its just so amazing

song I associate them with: Haven’t really thought of this, but I could see Data listening to Philip Glass operas. Einstein on the Beach, maybe? They are pretty dense and repetitive, but once you get into them they’re pretty neat.
