i learnt how to record screen with audio just for this
the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"
[ID: A Star Trek TOS gifset. Spock asks, “Has it occurred to you that there’s a certain inefficiency in constantly questioning me on things you’ve already made up your mind about?” Jim, smiling, replies, “It gives me emotional security.” Spock looks at him with an obviously pleased smile. End ID]

another inherently funny part of star trek is the very first show establishes a magic machine that sparklezaps them out of uncomfortable situations so for the next 56 years writers have to keep coming up with reasons why it won't work this time
you're all hired to the Star Trek writers' room
Writing ST fic really gives you a whole new level of sympathy for the canon writers, because I can think of at least three of my own fics offhand where I had to do the whole 'ok so why can't they just beam in/out to immediately resolve this' thing.
Mr. Spock’s Mood
———
Kirk: hello Mr. Spock<3!
Spock: captain
*Kirk experiences anguish*
Kirk: are you in a bad mood Mr. Spock<3?
Spock: I am not in a bad mood captain
Kirk what happened?
Spock: what? I’m not in a bad mood
Kirk: Bones! Watch out Spock<3 is in a bad mood! 
Bones: oh
Spock: I assure you I am not
Bunze: Spock that green blood sugar of yours is probably low. A snack will probably improve your mood
Kirk: yeah! How about a snack!
Spock: my mood is fine
Sulu: when I am in a bad mood a short nap usually does the trick
Chekov: or a litol valk around the ship!
Uhura: what’s going on is somebody upset? Is it Spock?
Bones: let me check your vitals
Kirk: Mr. Spock</3
*spock sighs*
Kirk: it’s okay Mr. Spock<3 everybody has bad mood sometimes

Vulcan AITA but it's Am I Being Illogical

AIBI for choosing my husband's human boss as my champion?
My (29F) husband (29M) is from a well-known and eccentric family, and has only made himself more notorious with an unconventional career and an unnecessarily emotional falling-out with his father. The aforementioned unconventional career keeps him away from Vulcan. In his absence, I have found a mate I prefer.
At koon-ut-kal-if-fee, I had planned to choose kal-if-fee and make my preferred mate my champion. However, my husband unexpectedly arrived with humans, one of whom is his superior, apparently a friend, and appears physically fit. Setting aside the impropriety of bringing outsiders to koon-ut-kal-if-fee, this human seemed more interested in my husband's family connections than any prurient interest in the pon farr itself. I realized that I could choose him as my champion instead, and not risk my preferred mate's life. If the human wins, he will be very unlikely to wish for a Vulcan bride, and would release me; if my husband wins, he may also release me for challenging, and even if he does not, he will still be as absent as before, and I will have my chosen mate at my si
Update: Please excuse the abrupt cutoff. My ex-husband just killed his human superior, and has indeed released me and returned to his post, I believe to seek formal disciplinary action.

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.
This moment with Spock and how angry he was after they nearly made him hurt Kirk comes to mind.
Chills every time.
I love how they made that prop for Spock to destroy and articulate how angry and upset he was at that moment.
We seldom get to see him like that in TOS, so it was powerful.
I need to know if you know where that gay Spock on the computer screenshot is from
It’s from the Star Trek German parody! 😂
Metamorphosis || The Motion Picture || The Naked Time
[ID: Seven images from Star Trek, each showing an image with a black border above and below. 1. Commissioner Hedford looking sad, with text below: 'What kind of life is that? Not to be loved? Never... To have shown love. And he runs away from love.' 2. A shot of Spock from behind, in black and white, his head turned slightly over his shoulder as he leaves the Enterprise bridge 3. Kirk looking up and speaking to the Companion, with text below: 'By your feeling for him, you are condemning him to an existence he will find unbearable.' 4. Spock talking to Kirk, in black and white, with text: 'Jim... When I feel friendship for you, I'm ashamed.' 5. Spock speaking to Cochrane, text: 'I do not totally understand the emotion, but it obviously exists. The Companion loves you.' 6. Kirk and Spock looking at each other and holding hands, in black and white 7. The Companion (in Commissioner Hedford's body) looking at Cochrane, with text: 'But to touch the hand of the Man, nothing is as important.' /End ID]
The really fun thing about Vulcan/[any other species] couples is that due to obvious reasons one of them is gonna be way more into pda than the other. Like "they're SO cute look at them" and their Vulcan's just standing there like 😐 ... Meanwhile through the bond they're like I'm Gonna Fucking Explode they just keep that on the inside
Vulcans are like. Your fingers touch while you're handing them something and that's being forward. And then their alien partners are like I want to slonk on your shit like crazy
