Description
Just to let you know that I'm not dead, and neither is my one and only fanship, Kirk/Spock.I'm actually serious about it being my only ship, I'm a non-romantic who truly doesn't think about relationships in a series unless it is bluntly obvious. Actually, K/S WAS obvious, but it was screened in an insanely deprived and homophobic society, so something so right was never acknowledged beyond hedged media statements by Roddenbury himself (two of the most known are when he gave the definition of T'hy'la, and when he commented on the rise in K/S fans).
Made using the despair.com's demotivational poster parody generator.

Love it!! Why yes, Jim, I do appear to be staring at your lips while invading your personal space.

Which is only because I am a Vulcan therefore have no understanding or part of such theoretical boundaries and mannerisms...

Did you notice in 2009 that every time Kirk and Spock talk, Spock always stares at Kirk's lips?

Oh yes! So funny, and such a tell-tale sign... Though non-Spirk fans always say this is because Kirk is way too close for Spock's liking... Which is true, and we know better!

Please, 99% of the time you stare at a person's eyes when standing too close to them.... I think Spock really appreciates the closeness, lol.

"This first movie is just a love story between Spock and Kirk. It has all the beats of a romantic comedy where they meet, they don't get along, they totally hate each other, and then they get into a situation where they kind of need each other, and by the end Spock walks onto the bridge and he's like, 'Let's fuck!'"
"That was the original line you guys wrote!"
"Yeah, but we wouldn't have gotten our precious PG-13 if we'd said it."

Might I ask what exactly Roddenberry said about the rise in K/S fans? I'm a bit of a nerd about K/S-proving quotes. XD

Interviewer: "I know you've told us you designed that relationship as 'Two halves which come together to make a whole'. Is that how you still see it?"
Roddenbury: "Oh yes. As I've said, I definitely designed it as a love relationship. I think that's what we're all about - love, the effort to reach out to each other. I think that's a lovely thing. Also, dramatically, I designed Kirk and Spock to complete each other."
And another one:
"There's a great deal of writing in the Star Trek movement which compares the relationship between Alexander and Hephaistion to the relationship between Kirk and Spock - focusing on the closeness of the friendship, the feeling that they would die for one another..."
"Yes, there's certainly some of that - certainly with love overtones. Deep love. The only difference being, the Greek ideal - we never suggested in the series - physical love between the two. But it's the - we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that, if that were the particular style of the 23rd century."

This is why I laugh in a rather bemused fashion whenever K/S is referred to as "ungrounded speculation."

Thank you very much for sharing!
It's a shame that most modern shows/movies/such don't have those true underlying platonic relationships; nothing will compare to Spock and Kirk (:

Oh yes! Having then gone and watched TOS, I realised it was perhaps the saving grace of the 2009 movie; there was still some subtle background Kirk/Spock flirtation going on! (okay, not-so-background in this case)

NO ONE can look at that still from the movie and honestly say he isn't thinking/wanting that!

i know! haha!...it just reminds me of how much I hate new Uhura! >

TOS Uhura was one of the best characters! My favourite after Spock! But new Uhura, ugh, she's such a condescending bitch!!!

I don't really like old Uhura either, but she is WAY better than New Uhura...I love Spock! He is my favorite too! I watched two episodes today and nearly squealed everytime I saw him.

Old uhura married Scotty. I liked that pairing. New uhura just get in the way of K/S...

I know! Old Uhura knew what was up.
