Random Star Trek Stuff

it’s 1 am

1) The Premise

pros:

covert, secretive, sounds like I’m a spy talking about information I cannot publically disclose

it just sounds cool? like, oh no, I wasn’t just reading kirk x spock fanfiction, I was reading literature regarding The Premise™️

it’s classy, there, i said it

ship names that aren’t just a mash up of two names are unique and cool and i will always appreciate them just a tad bit more than the usual ship names with their usual antics

sounds like something Spock would say? idk if that makes sense but like “captain, i believe this is going to set the premise for the rest of our time spent together”

cons:

it can be confusing? like are you saying you like the premise of star trek like the fundamentals of the franchise/series or the ship???

nothing else, The Premise is a good ship name and that’s fax

the verdict: 10/10

2) Spirk

pros:

simple, easy, effective, and follows the tried and true formula of just mashing two character names together and wham: ship name

everyone will know what you’re talking about when you say it

the character names do flow together kinda nicely, not gonna lie

cons:

sounds too much like spork,,, i don’t like saying it aloud

the vibes are just slightly off, ya know? when i think of kirk and spock, i think of t’hy’la, i think of lingering gazes, of slow burn intimacy and angst.,,,, “spirk” just does not pass the vibe check I’m sorry

but I will use spirk anyways because just like usual, even when something does not suit my fancy I just deal with it

the verdict: 8/10

3) K/S

pros:

would look cool if i carved it into a tree trunk with a heart around it

short and simple, kirk would like it probably

sounds professional, in a way? like, ah yes, this is just my weekly K/S report

cons:

unclear, imo? like which K and which S... so many other fandoms probably wish they could use K/S for their K-name x S-name ships

i can’t pronounce it in my head,, is it “KS” or “K slash S” ?

the verdict: 9/10

4) Space Husbands

pros:

accurate! they are space husbands, this is true

feels cool and special just like The Premise, except less 60s-covert-gayness and more 21st-century-outness, definitely fits the vibes for newer fans

kind of?.? specifies which ship you’re talking about? like, ,, K/S and Spirk are used for BOTH aos & tos, but space husbands definitely feels more tos

reminds me of the “gays in space” meme

cons:

space husbands doesn’t scream “star trek” so when i say it aloud, my friends don’t realize i’m talking about kirk x spock, and that’s just a crying shame

the verdict: 10/10

Pros:

- Funny, pe🅱️is

Cons:

- My dad once asked me “why are they called spirk though?” and I responded, extremely loudly and aggressively, “well the alternative is cock, so” and he had to go lie down he was so startled and my face is still red.
