homme fatale

TOS Spirk for me has Spock falling for Kirk first. With him obviously holding feelings for Kirk but not saying anything till at least post the motion picture. But there is an underlying jealously and slightly melancholy to Spock’s affection for Kirk, that is amplified by Kirks many MANY romantic forays. I think we see it especially in episodes like the Edith Keeler time travel one (I can’t remember the name right now).

But with the Kelvin timeline I think it flips with Kirk falling for Spock first. After the 2009 film we don’t really see Kirk experience the same attempts as romantic twists that TOS Kirk does. Instead from into darkness onward his strongest emotional connection is with Spock. Spock is with Uhura in these movies (which I personally do not like much at all but hey it’s there I suppose) and thus that emotional sensitivity is tied to their relationship rather than Kirk and Spock’s like in the original. And I’ve always read aos kirk as being a little jealous of that, much like tos Spock is of Kirk’s romantic connections.

I also feel like the presence of tos Spock in the Kelvin timeline might have amplified those feelings, cuz the is NO WAY that some of tos Spock’s gay feelings for tos Kirk didn’t bleed through that mind meld. And the idea of aos Kirk knowing that he and Spock had something in another life really adds to the repressed yearning.

Some silly ship meme stuff to try and figure out K/S!! Also what Spock writes in Vulcan is t'hy'la, logically, lol. I referenced the writing from here

I really like thinking that Spock is just realllly good at drawing like how he plays his harp :]c and Jim is always super impressed!! The ship chart was kinda hard like??? They just equally are genuinely like that, they'd do ANYTHING for the other so that's why the hearts are close to each other... The personality swap is a lot more obvious for Spock than Jim imo since Jim can also be just as brooding as Spock is sometimes... templates under the cut if anyone needs them:

his mii inspired me to draw him
