AHA SO (X) TECHNICALLY, THE HIGH FIVE CAN COUNT AS A SORT OF PARENTAL-CHILD RELATIONSHIPPP SO, THIS ISN’T INAPPROPRIATE. i’m reaching but let’s just assume ok

ACTUALLY @trashyscarface IS TOTALLY CORRECT IN THEIR USE OF THE VULCAN HIGH FIVE THINGY HERE IN THE FINAL FRONTIER BEFORE SYBOK SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE HIS BROTHER (and his brothers hubbys) SPOCK HOLDS UP THE TA'AL (🖖) AND SYBOK MAKES A TA'AL AND THE TWO SMACK THEIR PALMS TOGETHER IN WHAT I WOULD ASSUME IS LIKE A FAMILIAL GREETING/GOODBYE/FOREHEAD KISS THING AND SHIT AND ITS REALLY SWEET BECAUSE SYBOK CARES ABOUT HIS BABY BROTHER DAMMIT.

this is probably my most reblogged art aside from commission posts… BUT YAYYYY. VULCAN HIGH FIVES ARE FAMILIAL <3 GO FORTH AND DRAW VULCAN HIGH FIVES, FRIENDS. also thank u @flamingbluepanda

My favourite fact about Star Trek TOS is that, because automatic doors weren’t invented yet, the ‘automatic doors’ in TOS were really just some guy yanking a rope and pulley system to make them slide open. Problem was the person was far enough away that they couldn’t see when exactly the doors needed to be open, and relied on a signal from somebody just off set. The actors, however, had to act as if they were 100% confident the doors were going to open at the exact time and moment despite the fact that they occasionally did not which lead to multiple occasions in which the actors walked directly into the doors while they were opening. 

do you guys remember the first episode of star trek where everyone wore yellow turtlenecks and spock had a gun, just a huge fuck-off rifle
