It was a joking remark by an unnamed party who said ‘I’m spirksexual.’ Not an attraction to it, but a sense of alignment and identification with it; the idea of ‘t’hy’la’, and the whole universe of thought around Kirk and Spock’s relationship. Roddenberry invented the word ‘t’hy’la’ to describe Kirk and Spock’s relationship as, in fact, indefinable; combining qualities of the friend, the brother and the lover into one deep, intrinsic, poetry-worthy bond that transcended category. Sometimes it seems idealised; sometimes flawed; sometimes both. Sometimes it emphasises more one thing than another, but it is always fluid. It seems to exist in layers and nuances as something that indeed, makes us think of the nature of relationships; the subtle shades and blending of characteristics that familiar categories of relationship may practically incorporate, but don't always explicitly acknowledge.

There is something uniquely compelling about the indefinable connection Kirk and Spock share; it is clearly beyond bodies or gender, while incorporating both the intellectual, mental connection and the physical. K/S fandom had been comprised of many demographics – including gay men, queer people of all genders; and also – hugely – by women, who wrote fanfic while stating that this it is far more than simply a relationship between two men. The m/m aspect served for many to negate the social inequalities especially apparent at the time of the series, and level the field so as to focus on the connection rather than roles, power or politics; or to actively subvert/question them with a certain freedom. This is a relationship that many people of different genders and sexualities explored their own through, and continue to even in different socio-policial times. Something about these two characters, and intrinsic in their relationship, provides a platform for such possibility.

Therefore: K/S pride. However you wish to take it: as a bit of fun, a protest, a conversation starter - or as something that simply expresses something indefinable about yourself. What is K/S to you? How do you see it and relate to it?

This can only mean good things!

Amanda teaches Sarek about memes and he sends her this whenever he has to go Be An Ambassador

AKJDHAKHJSDKAHJDKHAS oh my god I can totally see him sending these types of memes 😂😂😂😂😂

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.

There’s something so surreal and so so beautiful about reading Spirk fic written when my parents were kids. So many years and somehow a fic published in a paper zine in the 80′s has made it onto my screen. It takes my breath away.

Hmmmm delicious tumblr vent void
