Me before watching Star Trek tos:
What even is K/S? It can't be that great, right?
Me five minutes in:
Oh dear- I might have underestimated them...
Oh, wow-
↳ Welcome To Night Vale: Episode 37 - The Action by Joseph Fink, Jeffrey Cranor & Glen David Gold
time to over analyze
Okay, so in the Vulcan culture, hand holding / touching is considered to be shared ONLY between lovers, this is because Vulcans' are Touch telepaths and very sensitive. And what are Kirk and Spock doing? Holding hands sharing something that would ONLY be shared between married couples and / or lovers. And I am very convinced that Kirk is aware of that. So over all
THE ARE IN LOVE
He’s probably fantasized about this moment happening over and over again and spends his sleepless nights analyzing how he’d accept. He needs more time to choose the appropriate reaction.
Also, L-O-V-E by Nate King Cole started playing from my playlist while I was reading this post and it just makes it all the more funnier.
you can clearly see Jim thinking deeper and deeper as he tries to figure out if this is a proposal or not.
obliterate my entire ass I can’t stand this

STAR TREK

gay little space cats??!?!?!!
k/s is that ship where at first you don’t ship it but understand it, then you start feeling the ship and then, before you realize it, the two have taken over your thoughts, mind and maybe life.
I don’t even have a caption for this help me help me there are gay people in my head and they won’t leave
I’m sobbing because of 765874: Unification. There was no dialogue but everything spoke for itself and that is something I can respect.
I’ve always loved details, and it was definitely FILLED with those.
I won’t be able to not think about it for the next month and a half and might start crying at 3:00 AM in a week or so.
It's star trek. We don't really question a franchise that made a movie whose entire plot is save the whales, and made it good
Ds9 fans are so obsessed with Garak boobs that they forget to wonder how a lizard can have boobs
The concept of Jim Kirk as science officer and Spock as captain cracks me up. There’s Spock trying to run a smooth logical operation and then there’s Jim “hold my beer” kirk in science running outlandish experiments just cause and driving Spock nuts.
Not been very active lately 'cause IRL work is kicking my ass ;-; but this AWESOME K/S fic I've been following for YEARS (not even joking) has been updated sooo.... I felt like sketching something!
Check the story out, btw: The Lifecycle of Stars by Azheria on AO3

Jim and Spock meet as teenagers during an online chess tournament and become close friends over time. When Jim finally visits Vulcan after several years, their friendship turn into something more.
Another popular vote from the fanfiction poll I had.
Summary: When Jim Kirk has to go meet with an alien civilization at the insistence of Starfleet Command, he begrudgingly is forced to leave a recovering Spock behind in sickbay. However, the aliens don't seem very interested in discussing things without his "other half," insisting that there is no reason to proceed without Kirk being "fully there."
Whatever the fuck that means.
