Merlin Should Be A Little Uncanny Valley, As A Treat

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

This AOS one-shot is a lot of fun. It's an academy era fic in which Uhura dares Jim to learn any language she chooses, fluently, within one month. If he wins she has to go on a date with him, if she wins he has to report to Admiral Pike naked 😂 of course, if you need to learn to speak Vulcan FAST, it's only logical to go straight to the source and ask for lessons from the only Vulcan professor at the academy.

I have plans

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.

I live for Headcannons likes these

I’m a dummy bc there’s a cool alien hybrid in media and the headcanons I focus on/come up w/ are the little things like hunger cues or slight physical differences or food requirements. Like a genuinely believe his food requirements are that of an Ultra and cues vary between that of a human and ultra, so that means Mina provides assistance. Bro definitely eats or drinks over his fill or under sometimes due to the mixed signals.

Yes I’m over thinking it

Kirk bod appreciation #4: The Curves. The Back. Poetry in motion. 

Here we honour the Kirk ‘hourglass’. The broad shoulders tapering into that lower back - and then flaring out again at those hips. Those HIPS. Those hips DO NOT lie. He has a broad back and such proportioning that one doesn’t always notice his hips aren’t so typically narrow, but stand him next to Bones or Spock - or even the girls - and just look at how endowed they are. Hot news: men have hips! And boy, is that hot. AND as if they weren’t gorgeous enough just existing in this flawless form, he actually swings them. Can we just correct another bro-ism: Kirk does not ‘swagger’. Kirk swings his hips. Like a sassy bih. This is one of the many reasons why James Kirk is special and utterly precious. 

Season 3 is the icing on the cake: he fills out a little, everything fits that bit tighter, and WOW. Look at that TURN, and the peek of the taut, firm Tum™. Hello friend, welcome. Kirk has what one might call the ‘bubble tum’, like the ‘bubble butt’. Thicc from the back AND front. Indeed, the shrink-wrapped glutes go without saying - it is a crime that we are never gifted, despite the shirts ripping constantly, a single moment of those *pants* ripping. That ass not able to be contained, bursting for freedom like his nips in Amok Time (which didn’t at all have sexual connotations…NOT AT ALL). Spock blushing bright green. Bones rolling his eyes.

Now don’t be thinking these are just dribble-posts, like the bros do over the girls; no. This lightly humoured appreciation is partly in response to those who criticise Kirk’s weight and build. Criticise WHAT I hear you cry??! I know. I don’t get it either. So here we are. Kirk, our intelligent, compassionate bookworm; our soft, smiling, curvaceous, chubby hunk who don’t need no six pack to be Jim Kirk. It’s part of his character; it’s part of his physical presence, how he moves, how he walks. How he proudly inhabits that bod - and what that says about him. He’s a man, he’s unbound; he’s his own version. He communicates, enviably, body confidence incarnate, while busting stereotypes and being utterly true. What an icon. We love him and celebrate his beauty inside and out.

Dad Dancing, ft. Uncle Jimmy The Betrayor

Joanna just wanted to come to Take Your Kid To Space Day. Maybe see some lab equipment. Sit in the Chair. Meet a Vulcan. Instead, she is related to Bones, who is An Embarrassment.

It it bad that I want to know my native American culture but I'm scared I be called racist because I look white and on my dad side I have a black nanny but my dad came out with no black Features White as a ghost but I do you have African American features in black textured hair But I don't know how to take care of it and I feel soon bad because I dot know my on culture

Fic Reccomendation

So this isn't for a pairing I ever, EVER, thought I would ship, but it was late last night (like 3am, hence my being off my head today) and I fell down some AO3 hole, and jesus this is so well written and amazing. YOU SHOULD READ IT.

Two parts. AOS AU where Kirk leaves Starfleet to be an architect and ends up falling in love with Spock Prime. I opened it for a giggle, and just woosh. Brilliance.

Im a big fan of a lot of ways Aos Spock/Uhura's relationship is portrayed in spirk fanfiction, however my absolute favorite i have just now encountered is:

Actually Uhura was raised on a federation colony where the culture around human kisses is more akin to a hug than a romantic/sexual gesture. It was a logical compromise for Uhura to show compassion to her friend in a way that was comfortable for Spock and her. Plus added bonus that it gave off the impression to earth-raised humans that she had a very possessive, strong vulcan boyfriend that prevented eager cadets from hitting on her (like Jim lol)

I mean the "Uhura is the embodiment of what Spock thought he needed in a bondmate, someone who is perfectly vulcan in a human way, but Jim lets him see that he needs someone who is perfectly human in a way that is the opposite of everything hes trained himself for" is beautiful and poetic but this version is objectively funnier.

Like, Jim, actually you are dumb for assuming Spock is in a relationship with Uhura based on one kiss even though that is exactly what they were expecting people to interpret their relationship as.
