It’s Cold Mr. Spock <3.

——

Spock: Captain, why are you still in bed? You are due on the bridge soon

Kirk: i’ve had it Mr. Spock<3! It’s TOO COLD. i’m not leaving my blanket until this damn life support system is FIXED!!

Kirk: I mean, how long does it take to repair a thermal unit! We’re in space for pete’s sake!

Kirk: I mean seriously! We can put a man on Qo’noS, but we can’t keep him warm while doing it?

Kirk: I think that Starfleet just wants us to SUFFER. They have NO idea what it’s like out here!

Kirk: sometimes I think we should just BLOW UP THE SUN! Then maybe they’d start showing a little empathy!

Spock: Captain, we are not going to blow up the sun

Kirk: I know Mr. Spock<3, it’s just an expression.

Kirk: my point is that we deserve some semblance of human comfort! Aren’t we living breathing people with basic inalienable rights and needs?

Spock: yes Captain, I agree, you are definitely a person

Kirk: thank you Mr. Spock<3

Spock: Of course Jim<3

Sulu: so where to Captain?

Kirk: I DON’T KNOW, PLEASE! JUST SOME PLACE WARM!

People kept getting at my insta stories with comments about Vulcan physiology, so I made a follow up comic.

It’s Cold Mr. Spock<3 (addendum)

Kirk: hey, what gives Mr. Spock<3? Isn’t your home planet covered in volcanoes?! Why aren’t you cold?

Spock: on the contrary, Wilkins are particularly sensitive to cold. However, mental discipline allows us to endure many discomforts.

Kirk: WAIT! So you actually ARE cold! Mr. Spock<3!!!

Uhura: poor baby!

Chekhov: VAT?

Sulu: AWW! SPOCK!

Kirk: do not fret, sweet Mr. Spock <3? I will keep you warm

Spock: Captain pls. That is hardl-

Everyone: well I’ll keep you warm spock you are important to us

Spock: w-who is steering the ship?

I'm so sad that we didn't get to see Voyager during the days after Tom Paris introduced everyone to yo-yos.

Janeway casually yo-yoing while walking around on the bridge with the other hand on her hip.

Tuvok secretly mastering the yo-yo in his quarters but refusing to participate publicly, denouncing it as a frivolous endeavor.

Whenever Spock wants cuddles or hair pets he’ll wait for Jim to initiate it or if he really needs it he’ll ask, always assuring Jim that he can say no, but Jim is always so eager to let Spock snuggle up to him. Jim just stares at him lovingly the whole time like he’s the most beautiful thing in the universe -which he is- while he pets Spock’s hair.

R: “Rudolph.”

M: “What’s your real name, Rudolph?”

R: “… Red-Nose.”

Biraka: ‘You desperately want to be liked.’

Q: ‘If I wanted to be liked, all I’d have to do is snap my fingers, and I’d be liked! I’m an omnipotent being masquerading as Doctor Quint. Whatever I want to happen, happens.

Biraka: ‘Interesting fantasy. Alright, let’s play that through. Then why don’t you?’

Q: ‘Why don’t I what?’

Biraka: ‘Make everyone like you.’

Q: ‘Because I don’t WANT TO!’

Biraka: ‘No, because you want them to like you of their own free will, and phenomenologically speaking, you can’t force them to do something of their own free will.’

Q: ‘Sophistry, Biraka.’

Biraka: ‘Truth, Quint. Let me give you some free advice. If you want to be liked, try making yourself likeable.’

“Attention crew, this is your captain speaking. Just letting everyone know that, earlier today, an extra-terrestrial probe inserted about half a centuries’ worth of memories into my brain, leading me to briefly believe that I was living a whole other life that felt as real to me as the one I’m living now. Then I woke up after what felt like decades— but was actually only a few minutes— to discover that my friends, my family and my culture not only no longer existed, but had never actually belonged to me in any real sense.
