You know, I used to think that the dress uniform of Star Trek: TOS was a bit… gay.

But it was until I saw the dress uniform of TNG.

Just priceless.
I love how shocked Kirk’s face was when Spock says that he expected Garth to win, something like “But.. you didn’t expect me to win?” and Spock tried quickly fix it with the "Because of your depleted condition.“
You two are sooo married.
(This is long dudes and probably full of gramatical errors, just warning)
I was studying some notes about of cubism, expressionism, surrealism and anothers avant-garde arts, but I got bored and I came for computer for do something useless.
So… I was thinking about fanfiction. Why almost all the fanfics that I already read shows Spock like a caveman, possessive, over protective, affectionate and jealousy with Jim? This is canon, or just facts of fics that were repeated so that they seem right?
Well, let’s see. I’m not a trekker for so many years; my knowledge stuff is the episodes (all of them) and the movies (all of them), I didn’t read none of the books (yet). So, I decided think about just in these informations, without think in all the information that fanfics have.
The first thought is that Vulcans are generally known like beings without emotions, so, it’s out of the character characterize Vulcans like possessives caveman when they’re in love.
Well, we all know that it’s pretty clear that is bullshit. Of course, they can do the Koolinar (I don’t remember if it is write this way, but is the ritual for eliminate the emotions), but, if don’t, they have pretty strong emotions. For example: pride. Vulcans are fucking proud of themselves, so proud that sometimes is a little annoying. So, they have emotions; all that they can do naturally is control these emotions.
Second thought: pre Surak societies were passionates warriors, fact that almost drive them to mutual self-destruction. So, after Surak, Vulcans learned how control their emotions (control your emotions or your emotions will control you - I really should learn it).
But… well, this is more observation and speculation from my part. Okay, modern Vulcans can control their strong emotions. Right. But if someone provoke them, really make them pissed off, they will loose their control - Star Trek 2009, This Side of Paradise, The Naked Time… a lot of examples. So, really, really strong emotions and reactions could make their perfect blank face falls.
So, yeah, in my point of view, Vulcans can very well act emotionally for strong emotions. Not so emotionally, they are Vulcans, but… you understand. So, strong emotions.
(I don’t know about you, but I think that love is a very strong emotion).
In the third thought, I thought in the relationships that Spock already had. I am very lazy now for put them all, so I will talk only of the girls that I remember. The first: Leila Kalomi, This Side of Paradise. Spock was - in the lack of the better words - drugged when he was with she. But he was with she. And he seemed to be very… affectionate with Leila. Very, indeed: of all the person, he ignored Jim for stay with she. It means something. (heavy drugs)
In Amok Time, we have T'Pring. Spock did not loved her, and the feeling was reciprocal. He just wanted fuck her for don’t die. So, I will jump she.The Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident; well, he seduced (or was seduced) she for business, so, I will jump she too.
Then, we have Droxine from The Cloud Minders. Spock is very strange in this episode. He talks with she about Pon Farr. Pon Farr. Vulcans are fucking prude about Pon Farr, but still; have a lot of flirting feelings in this episode.
So, the most important that I remember: Zarabeth, from All Our Yesterdays. I think Spock really loved her. We know that in this episode he really was a caveman, affected from the time. So, he was protective, a bit possessive and very affectionate with she. But of course that he had to leave the Ice Age and leave she, too.
So, back for the first point: Spock really would act so caveman with Jim?
My answer: yes. How I speculate, in my view, strong emotions could make holes in Vulcan self control. And a canon fate is: Spock have strong feelings for Kirk. I, how slasher, take this feelings out of the platonic view; but anyway, these feelings are there. So, if Spock would have Jim as bondmate, I thought he would be possessive, over protective, affectionate and even dominating with Jim, and this wouldn’t be out of character..
Ugh. I should have been studying avant-garde arts.
Captain, please, moderate your romantic flirtation toward me in front of the crew.
Fanvids, I love it all. This is one gorgeous, and I always thought in Running Up That Hill like a song for them.
Spock: I’ve noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours.
Dr. McCoy: Suffer the death of thy neighbour, eh, Spock? Now, you wouldn’t wish that on us, would you?
Spock: It might have rendered your history a bit less bloody.
I will recomend one of my favorite fics to you. It’s really good. Really, really. I read it some weeks ago, and every night I read it again.
It’s Spirk, it’s mirror, and it have rough sex, traps, murders, and - why not - love. Some reasons for love it.
And I fucking love the Possessive!Spock of this story.
So, ‘Like a False Mirror’, by ladyblahblah.
