To Boldly Gay

Jim, grinning: ah, yes... You could say... There is 'a bond' between us.

Spock, through the bond: It is unnecessary to make that pun every time, ashayam

Jim: ah but it amuses me

Some Admiral: The two of you seem close.

Jim, practically sitting in Spock’s lap: We literally could not be closer

Admiral: I don’t like pairing female first officers with male Captain’s, they always seem to fall in love, you know?

Jim, giving Spock an ozh’esta in plain view: O rlly? Tell me more :)

Random Vulcan attending the event: *walks away, wide-eyed* “There goes illogical Sarek’s son again, upholding the family sluttery.”

Spock, trying desperately not to lose face: I am in control of my emotions, I am in control-

Oh my gosh, my friend, it is DRAMATIC!

For some reason they abandoned the shiny metallics T’Pring, Stonn and the “executioner for cowardice” and that is a shame!

However! I’m not complaining about the end product! It certainly had more thought put into it lol! Except for the bowl cuts!! I like the hairstyles (especially the fem ones!) from the original designs much much better! There’s nothing logical about bangs in the desert!

Lots of dark colors and elegant protection for the neck! (My favorite is Spock’s! What a LOOK😍)

I’d imagine that Vulcans are cold-blooded or at least run at a much lower body temperatures than we do because their planet is extremely hot. So dark, heat-absorbing colors make plenty sense for them to wear! The nape of the neck on fur-less bipeds is particularly vulnerable to the sun so the collars make sense. They also make it harder to neck pinch someone I’m sure (except T’Pol’s outfit, but they sexualized the crap out of her in Enterprise so... yeah.)

This stuff is all very formal and proper, but I imagine more casual Vulcan wear would look a little closer to the ceremonial robes (or at least that’d make sense to me!)

Big hoods big nomadic desert folk energy! Their ornateness and lighter colors made sense for historical reasons, as religious spiritual people tend to be higher in the social hierarchy getting to live in more shaded, cooler areas. Something that has apparently survived the Surakian Awakening (which lends itself to the possibility that Vulcan has a corrupt religious caste but that’s a WHOLE other post)

However in a urbanized, industrialized Vulcan I’m sure the elements aren’t as much of a problem as they were. So you can wear brighter, less severe clothing. Kind of like what Amanda, Surak & Tuvok wear here:

The true 1st contact parties we deserve to see in the show someday ✨💁‍♀️✨

SPACE HIPPIES!!

and once the adults were like “oh this is Normal” they stopped properly impressing the important of privacy and safety on the internet on their kids. theyre putting their childrens fucking baby pictures on the internet for anyone to see

i have WATCHED people in my grandmothers generation go from warning child-me about the (real! very very real!) dangers of sharing personal information online to actively encouraging me to do so to make money
