James Tiberius Kirk appreciation post

I'd like to imagine that this is how Mccoy would be in a Spirk fanfic or AU

Bones: *In beginning, encouraging Kirk and Spock to talk to the other about how they feel*

Kirk and Spock finally do confess they start getting lovey-dovey.

Bones: *Literally any time spirk cuteness happens in front of him*

(But instead of salad it's his work or alcohol)

Thinking about if other species becoming insanely obsessed with random parts of human history because it's just so VAST and there's so much. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that other events like the first contact with the Aksani, the Barkonian renaissance, the whole federation-Eminian 'poison saliva dinner' fiasco, or the Lokirrim-Iconian-Risian trading war were all very interesting.

But I can't help but imagine the endless hilarity that involves something like a group of Andorian teens all being like:

"Did you know that there used to be other types of human sub-species living on earth billions and billions of years ago? Yeah! they were called like knee-an-do-thals and erik-toss or something" "Really? So, it was like the human version of Aenar on their planet?" "I guess so yeah" "So, what happened to them?" "The ancient humans killed them all." "..." "..."

"...maybe...on second thought, we should help Anika with her biology project after all."

I think the formula for my favourite ships are Person A whose pretty chill guy about everything and is just going about life and Person B is just an obsessive freak who has probably a list of the full names and ages of all of Person A's ex-partners

I got this idea from a random fic I read somewhere, but I think it’s a really funny to imagine that in Star trek when humans describe things their pets do, their alien buddies just think that this is another human doing these things because they don’t know earth animals. And like honestly humans have done weirder.

I have no idea whatsoever if Vulcans would be able to actually smell pheromones, I just like the idea that some human crew members decide to see if those pheromone perfume things really work and so they put some on and obviously can’t smell anything so it’s a disappointment, but they still decide to leave it on for the day. Flash cut to the Vulcan crew members on board freaking the fuck out thinking they’re going into an early and unexpected Pon Farr because they want to absolutely devour every human that passes by them.

I have my own personal headcanon that in the star trek universe Human musicals are EXTREMELY popular amongst the stars and across all galaxy's. Cause sure, other aliens have singing and dancing and music of all sorts but everyone quickly agrees that there is nothing like a human musical. It baffles a few Ferengi's ears when hoo-mans sing in such a high frequency for such a long time that shouldn't even be possible with their lung size! Vulcan's can appreciate the synchrony of their dancing and consider it a very pleasing experience (Their incredibly impressed by it and it becomes a frequent topic of conversation). Cardassian's admire the way the characters sing/talk to the audience and reveal what their feeling but not to the other characters, it's fun to watch secrets unfold or explode to someone's face as chaotic antics happen all around them (Their favorites tend to be Stephan Sondheim musicals). Surprisingly, even Klingons aren't immune to the talent of human musical theatre, on any given night you'll see a large group of Klingons sitting around a table ready for an opera show and tales from soprano's receiving numerous thanks and glory be's! from burly Klingons after a show.

Idea that once human movies and tv series becomes accessible to the rest of the universe they immediately have to get re-called and re-regulated by the federation.

Like, the Andorians thought they had sexy romance shows, but then the terrans come along and now you've got angry zhavey's, shreya's, charan's, and thavan's calling in concerned on what their teenagers are watching.

And this especially applies to horror movies, Klingon space gets access to some classics and figure they'll sit around and laugh at the silly human horror. Cut to one Texas Chainsaw Massacre marathon later and now some human captain's are reporting that the Klingons are looking at them weirdly, like they almost seem... nervous of them?

Same thing goes for when Vulcans begin to approach human crewmates to ask how they manage to keep their children away from "The animated blue kanine and the female pink sus scrofa domesticus?"

Ferenginar just has a flatout ban against any and all talent/contest shows. To win profit just for having a talent? For showing good teamwork? Without any cheating or lying? Disgraceful media. (Although they would appreciate the trick of adding a sob backstory to gain more sympathy votes)

Need to see more fics where Spock finds out about Kirk’s terrible childhood and is just dumbfounded.

In Vulcan society the idea of inflicting physical abuse upon one’s child is unheard of. Utterly illogical. So after Spock learns about Kirk's shitty stepfather, he has a crisis trying to comprehend the idea that a parent would hurt a child and also that someone would hurt his husband. From then on anytime Jim makes a joke about his abuse he notices that Spock tenses and gets angry and he's just like "???" and then later in the quiet of their quarters Spock just softly tells him that he'd murder Kirk's stepfather if he ever came across him. Kirk is half freaked-out, half touched at the sentiment.

I think this also goes for any other Vulcans hearing the idea of child abuse, if they were to overhear a conversation between humans being like “Yeah I remember when I broke the screen of my Dad’s new tv and he hit me so hard I think I blacked out haha” “that’s nothing compared to the time I told my mother to her face that I hated her cooking, she brought out the chancla on my ass lol” the Vulcans would just be downright horrified and spread this news back to other Vulcans about how savage some human parents can truly be and soon enough any human who mentions any type of violence in their childhood is receiving the highest level of comfort Vulcans can offer to a stranger: A hand to the shoulder and intense eye contact 😐🖖

This and for some reason the captain keeps on loosing

james tiberius kirk and his crew that definitely gets drunk and plays a game called do your best dramatic captain kirk impersonation

Day 40: I just watched some more star trek content and I have 4 things to say (mostly about Spock) .

1. Where is Spocks eyeshadow in the Kelvin Timeline and in SNW?

2. AOS's Uhura x Spock Was already bad but really, Nurse Chalpel??? SNW, you can do better.

Those two never had any chemistry and constantly setting Spock up with people even though he is VULCAN (making him go against his entire prerogative/ way of living) is not good.

It's my personal opinion but Spock never really showed interest in any person unless under the influence of drugs and I like him that way, don't use romance foe "plot" it just ruins the characters.

3. Damn the Le-matya look insanely cool, even if they are somewhat evil.

4. That one scene in TOS where Amanda casually reveals the fact that Spock had a living, breathing teddy bear as a pet when he was a child will never not be funny to me

Day 28: The (TOS) Triumvirate be like

Store Worker: „Would a Mr. Spock please come to the front desk? “

Spock, arriving at the desk: „Hello, is there a problem? “

Store worker: points to Kirk and McCoy

Store Worker: „I believe they belong to you? “

Kirk and McCoy, simultaneously: „We got lost :(“

Spock: „I didn't even bring you guys here with me-“

Punched into the friendzone

It's giving:

"Don't look at me with those baby blue eyes"

"What?"

He’s doing a GRWM Storytime

They did her soon dirty ughuu

Tos uhura you will always be famous

i have a billion other criticisms about star trek aos but the one thing i'll never forgive them for is taking away uhura's whimsy. tos uhura has such a bright & joyful presence she is kind and funny and artistic and cares about her looks WHILE ALSO being smart and badass and not afraid to speak her mind (especially in the movies. i love her). aos uhura is reduced to a one-dimensional #girlboss who takes no shit from anyone yet somehow lacks enough self-respect to stay in a boring & unsatisfying relationship with a man who is so obviously not attracted to women

I've yet to watch aos but honestly as a spirk shipper idrc abt spuhura cause for some reason star trek writers are obsessed with making Spock this bad boy, ladies man of sorts so whateverrr BUT from what I've seen aos just messed up uhura as a character in generalll! It's why I don't wanna watch aos like from what I've seen tos the show made in the 60s gave her more personality and whimsey etc than her 09 counterpart...

Iike ik 09 was the year where "Haha overly srs women in a group of boys" was the IT trope but cmon... don't do my girl dirty like that💔

Ramblings about Spuhura in AOS (this got a bit long)

I thought I didn't really mind Spuhura in AOS, but I think it really messes up the characterisation of Spock. They just didn't have a plan where to take that relationship. I feel like the extent to their thinking was well Uhura is hot and people will be surprised to see repressed Spock in a relationship, but they didn't want to flesh out her character. And they (rightfully) made Kirk and Spock have the most important relationship in the movies, so Uhura is supposed to be important to Spock, but we rarely feel the weight of that.

So in the end Spock kind of looks like a bad boyfriend, because his most important emotional scenes, the moments he loses his control are all with Kirk. Which is great because it reinforces Spirk, but Uhura just stays an afterthought and they could have done so much more with her character. I saw this interview where Zoe Saldana seemed glad that Uhura and Spock had broken up in Beyond because he had been her teacher and maybe she had outgrown that relationship. I mean even the actor thought more about this than the filmmakers!

And how does it reflect on Spock that he chose a relationship with his student? I know me too hadn't happened in 2009, but in TOS in the 60s they managed to make Kirk a compelling character by making him not sleep with his subordinates. And showing this impossibility to find personal happiness at his job as a struggle for him. Which makes him likeable.

I think they didn't understand what the relationship between Kirk and Spock really symbolizes, how it outweighs every other connection. They just wanted to build on something that already existed and took it for granted.

And yes, this is an alternate universe, but if you reboot Kirk and Spock, it needs to be done right. And isn't the beauty of it all that Spock learns about emotions from Kirk, this open minded, kind hearted man, that does not judge him. And for that you need to have Spock start in a place of relative isolation. There are alternate universes and then there is misunderstanding characters to a point you are losing their essence.

Omg this interaction 😭😭 Bones loves dressing him up ahhhhhhh

Gentlemen please there is a crisis going on.

Op you've meet a genius

I work retail, and yesterday I pulled up a customer's rewards account to see his name listed as "Jim Kirk."

I said, "Cool name."

"Thanks," he said. "Want to see my ID?"

He pulled out a Star Fleet identification card with a picture of Captain Kirk on it.

"My name is Jim Kirk and I'm from Iowa," he told me. "I'm invisible online."

Tos au where Spock & Bones are the devil & angel on Jim's shoulder Spock being the angel and Bones being the devil... except Spock is an enabler and Bones ends up being the only one in the group with any survival instincts.

Oh I didn't mean it like that! Was just /j I love Bones as his own interesting character XD he's my favorite character and I enjoy content centered around him away from spirk! Sorry for the misunderstanding/gen

Me when a new Star Trek series makes a reference to Kirk and Spock but leaves out Bones

This might be my favourite piece of star trek lore 😭😭 NOT ONLY was it Liberal arts but very SPECFIC arts...

Chekhov was a liberal arts major???

spirk kiss doodle please?? 🥺

*mwah*

God they're such gossip buddies

Obsessed with the idea that Spock is considered a "bad boy" in vulcan.

I'd like a fic where kirk and the others have a Misson on vulcan and one of the crew members overhears some gossiping vulcans and than one thing leads to another and Spocks status as bad boy supreme is revealed.

Bones probably: gosh if Spock is what they consider a "bad boy" I'd hate to see what they consider a "good boy"

Meanwhile Spock is panicking cause Jim just found out how important physical touch really is to vulcans

Anyone got any good Spirk fic recs :D

Vulcans would be distressed at the state of modern slang😭😭

Random ensign 1000: Wow thanks for helping me Mr, Spock! You're the GOAT!

Spock: I am not a goat.
