Description Rebloggable

I struggled with this prompt for K/S because I don't think it's entirely in-character. I really get the feeling that their relationship evolves in such a way that they wake up one day and realize they’ve become Space Husbands, rather than making any conscious decision.

This is my attempt at expressing that idea. They’re “married,” but it’s just another day for them. (Also, I think the crew just wanted to tape up the classic sign on the back of the command chair because that whole ship is full of dorks.)

Augh, that command chair is such a hybrid bastardization of the chairs from the Prime and Alternate universes... lol

Kirk and Spock just make it waaaay to easy, eh? No problem! I just had a complete field day with your work. Freaking awesome. Especially the way you draw hands/expressions.

I can image them already in the motions and the crew just wanted an excuse to get drunk and have a giant wedding cake/be silly.

This. Is JUST an awesome idea!!! OMG! I love the "Just Married" sign on the Captain's chair! GACK! I love the chair thing *0*! Yes, they just wake up one morning and realize they were Space hubbies, haha.  


Just in the first page of the book I'm reading, the first thing Spock does is walk into Jim's room, and Jim's going through some anxiety, but Spock just tells him to relax and not worry about the menu for breakfast (Jim's sucking in his tummy because he's embarrassed about his weight, KYAH! *Spock notices*), and then Jim totally calms down and says that only Spock knows how to relieve his tension away that quickly!!! This picture made me flail so much because you're right! They'd just realize one day they are hubbies, and the crew would know all along! They totally realize they're married! 


HAHA! I love this so much!

"...ship is full of dorks." lulz XD

Also, this one is pretty darned cute, actually. And, seriously girl, your quality of art just jumped through the roof. Wow. Keep it up.

Thanks!!!
I think drawing everyday helps... but also I think it's misleading b/c I'm basically drawing the same thing over and over...
So in reality, I'm just getting disproportionately better at drawing Kirk and Spock. XD

This is so great!!! XD i love the idea! I agree they probanly just woke up one day, started a very intimate morning ritual, finished each other sentences a few times, Jim took 2 cups of vulcan tea without even asking spock if he wanted...then they look at each other and knew they were married xD
Hahahah but sure the guys at enterprise wouldnt let it be casual....they probably hold them a party either way
Now, do you think they married in vulcan/earth a few years later?

" they probanly just woke up one day, started a very intimate morning ritual, finished each other sentences a few times, Jim took 2 cups of vulcan tea without even asking spock if he wanted...then they look at each other and knew they were married"


O.O THAT. Is the most adorable thing. I've ever heard. omg.


In my headcanon, they never formally get married in any sense. However, I think, as they got older, they spent the vast majority of their time off together. Either in Iowa or on Vulcan. Of course, that's the Prime Universe. I think the Alternate Universe has an interesting potential for something more like a formal marriage -- their relationship in the AU is much more visceral, much harsher and more passionate than their easy companionship in the Prime Universe.

*__* im glad you appreciate my rants xD i guess its easy for me to think in long time couple because i dated for 8 years with the same girl. (Who kinda looks like a vulcan! xD Im trying to convince her to cosplay with me =x Christ i even made her Spock's shirt xD fuck Freud, really ).
Hm, I agree that they probably never officialize things in the prime universe. But maybe a very small/personal ceremony? Spock and kirk prime seems much more formal than reboot. They have to tell sarek/amanda eventually, no?
Reboot is a beautifil mess they are both hurt and young. Kirk is a mess <3 i dont doubt he would try to marry spock simply because some big-ass admiral forbade him to xD

8 years!!! Wow!!! That's awesome! You should definitely do K/S cosplay. *.* 

With Freudian overtones??? sounds hot XD

They didn't have to tell Sarek -- he already knew (Have you watched the movies yet??? omg it's so sad). 

But HAHAHA -- Oh geeze, I can easily see AU Kirk marrying Spock out of spite.

HAHAHHAHAHAHA XD Highly freudian...our friends says she totally look like spock(which she hates, but its true) and im already living in denial, spending my days at work wishing to be a starfleet captain. Really, i just want a goddamn ship, is it too much to ask??? -___-
I really REALLY want to do k/s pictures, BUT she doesnt like cosplay.....ill try anyway, but if it fails i'll cosplay both and fuck logic
Noo i havent seen the movies yet!!! I dont want the 3d season to end. NEVER!! I wish they episodes were like tribbles, multiplying endlessly. ♥

OMG RIGHT!?! I sit in my classes and like to think I'm a science officer on a starship. X3

I even wore my science insignia to my research group one day. It was glorious.

And my managers at work refer to me as "science officer" since my assistant manager uniform is blue. XD


SO MUCH DENIAL! hahahahaha!


Well, if you're in season 3, have you seen "The Empath" or "The Tholian Web" yet??? Those are two of my absolute favorite episodes.

marinecosplaybr In reply to anifanatical [2013-08-23 12:05:22 +0000 UTC]

OMG it's settled then!!!! xD You will be my science officer!!! Katsuya is studying to be a doctor, I think..so she's the CMO. All we need is a chief engineer and we're good to go USS Spirk
Wow even your uniform is blue!! Perfect xD do you have pictures with the uniform and the badge??

I havent seen then yet! Im countih episode to get to 'the tholian web' though xD they say it to be so spirky!!!!!! College is really getting in the way of my ST addiction.....fuck.

HA! USS Spirk!! It's perfect!! XD
I don't have picture of my blue shirt and insignia together, but we did this thing:

And this is how I wore my insignia at my research group:

"The Tholian Web" has some delicious space husbands material. I loooove it~! But it's also a really really good Triumvirate episode -- it highlights Spock and Bones' relationship in regard to Jim and it's really sad and powerful and awesome.
"The Empath" is similar. Plus, there's a REALLY OBVIOUS Spock -> Kirk scene in that episode. Like, Spock might as well have come right out and say, "I love this man, in case anyone is wondering." X3
