Star Trek is Life

the part about liking boxes and tight spaces just got me thinking about like. someone opening up a jeffries tube and finding a random vulcan officer on their break just sitting in there.

This is why Taurik is an engineer. So he can cuddle up work in the jeffries tubes. 

I fully support this headcanon

the way vulcans talk about pon farr almost seems like they’re reciting something, so i feel like it’s almost feasible to believe that sex ed on vulcan is limited to a single standardized pamphlet that every vulcan receives once they reach a certain age.

the first day of vulcan sixth grade, the teacher passes out little sealed envelopes and inside each one is a single tri-folded sheet of paper. she tells them to read it, memorize it, then put it back in the envelope and return it to her, and never speak of it again unless absolutely medically necessary (and even then, only if you’re either a. literally on the brink of death, or b. you ship’s cmo is being really pushy when asking about your condition).

“We do not speak of it with outsiders” and “We are driven by forces outside of our control” are the Vulcan version of “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.”

Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock

Also Brent Spiner broke his mandible during the filming of ‘The Game’ and had to be taken to hospital dressed as Data

an earthquake happened near the DS9 set once and Armin Shimerman went racing home to his family in full-on Quark makeup

Andy Robinson also went home after that earthquake in full Garak makeup and the traffic lights weren’t working so people had to make eye contact at the intersections and he says everybody always let him go first

I mean, be honest, if after a natural disaster you saw an obvious space alien driving a ford focus you’d let him go past, too

Being gay and doing crimes

To get lost in Spock's

Happy Birthday to all Spocks out there!! 😘💙
