Went and made a sideblog to scream about Star Trek

i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it

They help. They don’t cure. But they help. And sometimes you need more help so meds and therapy are more help. But don’t discount a small improvement just because it’s not 100%.

to be honest with you guys i made this whole account because i wanted to make and share this post

i think star trek should write an in universe reason why some series don’t have swearing and some do. make it a universal translator glitch or something.

the captain of each ship can turn the swears on or off when they want to

Kirk would have kept the swears on but any ship carrying Dr. Leonard McCoy is required by Starfleet regulations to turn them off

How dare you keep this in the tags @narwhalsarefalling

Ok picture this. You’re a Vulcan, you’ve defied your father in order to join Starfleet. You get assigned to the Enterprise as Science Officer, struggle through spending all this time around humans. Under the tutelage of your trusted captain, Christopher Pike, you learn how to manage. Then he’s promoted and the Enterprise is turned over to some 32 year old barely out of the academy hot shot named Kirk. You’re going to be first officer. You’re more than a little concerned about this but everyone says “Don’t worry. Kirk is genius, graduated top of his class, FIDE rating 3000”

Then first week on the job you call him on the intercom and you just get this. Oiled up. Tits out. No shame. Your Vulcan heart explodes in your side

FIVE YEARS OF THIS. No wonder Spock took his busted up heart to Gol and tried to stitch it back up he was wrecked

Bones: Do y’all ever get pre-annoyed? Like you already know somebody is about to piss you off.
Spock: I literally just walked in here.
Bones: Exactly.

If ’kaiidth’ is Vulcan for “what is, is” Vulcans basically have a version of “it be like that sometimes” and that is so damn delightful

Imagine Bones and Spock co-authoring a series of novels about their adventures on the Enterprise and the series is wildly popular throughout the galaxy and everyone ships them and somehow no one has managed to figure out that Spock and Bones are the authors even though Bones’ writing style consists of a lot of swearing and metaphors and Spock’s parts always sound like a report. 

Eventually, the series starts changing to become more romantic and start to read more like love letters to each other and that leaves the whole Enterprise guessing until one day Spock accidentally forwards an excerpt to Kirk instead of his report.
