I re-watched this episode recently and got curious. So I went on here and ao3 only to find out that there are a lot of fics of this obscure character.
Good to know we all had the same vision. Keep up the good work 馃
Love that we all saw this man (who only appears in this episode and never again in the series) and collectively went: "what if i fixed him/made him worse"
p.s. i'm not that good at editing stuff like this, but someone had to do it
vulcan eyes have a tapetum lucidum, just like an earth cat's. their reflective nature allows them to have nearly perfect night vision, able to use even the smallest amounts of light to see in the dark.
vulcan pupils are round in low light, but in bright light, they become vertical - just like earth domestic cats.
vulcans have sharp canine teeth. their upper and lower canines as well as the pre-molars are sharper than the rest. this is a remnant from their feline ancestors they evolved from (instead of the primate ancestors of humans).
vulcan infants aren't as helpless as human infants. they are born with the ability to sit, hold their own heads up, as well as lift themselves on their arms. at three months, they are able to crawl and emote as well as a human six to eight month olds. this is due to the harsh and dangerous environment of their planet and the need to adapt quickly for survival.
vulcan infants don't cry, as they have the ability to communicate telepathically upon being born. they are able to transfer their needs through the telepathic bond they have with their parents. the bond is a simple one at first, until the child is able to communicate verbally. instead of complete thought, sensation and emotion is sent through the bond.
due to their feline ancestors, vulcans have the ability to purr and make other sub-harmonic vocalizations.
vulcans also have thicker, stronger nails. most vulcans keep their nails trimmed, mostly due to cultural and hygienic reasons (the same reasons humans tend to trim their nails) if they are allowed to grow out, they can easily become claws.
if a mated pair have sex regularly, pon farr becomes non-fatal. by meeting those needs regularly, the suppressed emotions become more easily to deal with.
if one partner enters pon farr, the bond can assist the suffering partner by influencing their bondmate into their own cycle. this could be considered a false, sympathetic version of the pon farr that ensures that the suffering vulcan doesn't die.
I鈥檓 pissed off that we see Solok one time. What the hell. A Vulcan starfleet captain who plays baseball??? For hatred? He鈥檚 tall and he鈥檚 mean but he鈥檚 also beautiful and he has me in a chokehold. So damn it, tell me wtf he鈥檚 all about. How the fsjk did he tell his crew that baseball was rational . He can wrestle me all he wants. I鈥檒l help him write his next paper,
I need a fanfic about a Human who is working close with Vulcans or Romulans. I don't care if it's on a ship or an embassy as long as it's with as many of them as possible.
The Human knows enough about vulcan / romulan society and culture to get by and avoid any major embarassements however the finer details are not known to them, which is why they don't understand why everyone around them gets absolutely flabbergasted at the sight of their pierced ears and painted finger nails.
Meanwhile the Romulans /Vulcans try very hard not to blush and to appear as normal as ever because they don't want the Human to know that such things are more than frivolous because the Human would probably die of embarrasments.
