Star Trek is Life

Since you all like my Vulcans are Felines content, I thought I’d throw out some more ideas I’ve been thinking about:

“If it fits, it sits.” Vulcan toddlers have the same instincts as kittens and will randomly climb into boxes and hang out in tight spaces if they look cozy. They mostly grow out of it as adults, but once in a while, they’ll see a nice looking box and have to suppress the urge to curl up in it.

Vulcans are not arboreal, which usually doesn’t matter since the planet Vulcan isn’t really known for tall trees. But when they go to planets that have tall trees they’re likely to get stuck. They’re good at climbing up. Not so much at climbing down. Be ready with a ladder if your Vulcan ensign is traveling to a heavily forested planet for the first time.

Vulcans don’t like having water on them and most dislike swimming. Spock got some of his mother’s water-loving genes so he’s not as bothered by it and a decent swimmer (as we see in Star Trek VI: The Voyage Home). The rest of Vulcans aren’t too enamored with the idea of being submerged in water. For hygiene, they used to use sandscrubs in the old times, and now they mostly use sonic showers. It also helps that they don’t sweat.

the part about liking boxes and tight spaces just got me thinking about like. someone opening up a jeffries tube and finding a random vulcan officer on their break just sitting in there.

This is why Taurik is an engineer. So he can cuddle up work in the jeffries tubes. 

I think Vulcans should also have the righting reflex, which is that thing cats do where they land on their feet by twisting around when they fall, and they just naturally know where to arrange their legs. This does require gravity to work.

So the ability to land on their feet with ease would just make humans think Vulcans are uncannily graceful, like cats, except if you’ve ever owned a cat you know that the grace is a lie. The righting reflex can fail, usually when a fall is short and unexpected. You know, like most falls are in daily life. When this happens, they manage to fit an impressive amount of spazzed out flailing into a split second or falling and it’s hilarious.

I fully support this headcanon

Star Trek: Lower Decks - 1x02 - The paradox of the Janeway Protocol

Star Trek ENT : Fallen Hero 1x23 - I’m sure that Andorian are tough especially facing Vulcans.

Archer : T'Pol tells me you negotiated the first territorial accords between Vulcan and Andoria.

V'Lar : The Andorians required a somewhat firmer hand at the negotiating table. But I was younger then. That was before we even made contact with Earth.

Set of : Reference to the Andorians in all Star Trek Series

the way vulcans talk about pon farr almost seems like they’re reciting something, so i feel like it’s almost feasible to believe that sex ed on vulcan is limited to a single standardized pamphlet that every vulcan receives once they reach a certain age.

the first day of vulcan sixth grade, the teacher passes out little sealed envelopes and inside each one is a single tri-folded sheet of paper. she tells them to read it, memorize it, then put it back in the envelope and return it to her, and never speak of it again unless absolutely medically necessary (and even then, only if you’re either a. literally on the brink of death, or b. you ship’s cmo is being really pushy when asking about your condition).

“We do not speak of it with outsiders” and “We are driven by forces outside of our control” are the Vulcan version of “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.”

How Commander Riker eats

Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock

Also Brent Spiner broke his mandible during the filming of ‘The Game’ and had to be taken to hospital dressed as Data

an earthquake happened near the DS9 set once and Armin Shimerman went racing home to his family in full-on Quark makeup

Andy Robinson also went home after that earthquake in full Garak makeup and the traffic lights weren’t working so people had to make eye contact at the intersections and he says everybody always let him go first

I mean, be honest, if after a natural disaster you saw an obvious space alien driving a ford focus you’d let him go past, too

What did God make his eyes so fucking blue for

Being gay and doing crimes

To get lost in Spock's

(ID - 4 screencaps of Charlene Masters from Star Trek: the original series. She’s a young black human woman, she has her hair short and is wearing a blue Skant starfleet uniform. She’s seen holding a black rectangular technology, standing next to Kirk, and fiddling with a control panel. End ID)

Some of my favourite Star Trek: Voyager quotes

(I will make series of Star Trek art based on different famous works, this one is based on Anthony van Dyck ‘Charles I in Three Positions’)

Happy Birthday to all Spocks out there!! 😘💙
