Holding On For First Contact

Consider: Kirk has no idea he has ADHD until he has his first mindmeld with Spock who IMMEDIATELY notices and makes McCoy prescribe him meds on the spot

Tbh it's offputting to me in fanfiction when Kirk is mega pushy to Spock with the whole expressing emotions thing when in canon Spock is forced to express emotions and Kirk is foaming at the mouth pleading for them to stop bc they're hurting him

holy fucking spirk angst

Aaand a merry Pride Month to y'all.

[ID] Text reads: You: TOS is pretty chill. Spock: The Lasagna is a mother and is in pain. Kirk: Fuck. [End ID]

Mother Lasagne (crosses self)

in the original series it's clear that spock and kirk are attracted to each other but in the movies they're in love. like they carry so much devotion for one another its impossible to write a story unrelated to their bond. they're old and in love and they look at each other like that because its the only natural reaction to existing alongside your soulmate, your one true love, your t'hy'la. god they're so in love it makes me sick

This is why I think something happened between them at the end of the first mission, and Spock couldn’t handle the emotional internal conflict which is why he went to Gol. After Movie 1, they’re absolutely married.
