Starfleet officers are allowed to wear shoes with or without heels based on personal preference. Usually Spock wears flatter heels, but he has been known on occasion to wear the taller variation because why not, you know? There’s no real reason. It’s not like Jim was getting on his nerves the other day and also hates when Spock wear the heels, definitely not that. Oh, Jim, I’m sorry, does it bother you? That Spock is tall? That you’re short? Oh dear. What to do? Hm, a real dilemma, this. Real pickle of a situation.

Having a standard set time for all Starfleet ships is a necessity for the sake of communication and synchronicity, however it does make it challenging for the crew when they land on a planet where days pass differently than they do onboard. This is dually true for moments when the ship lands on the daytime side of a planet while it is nighttime onboard, and the crew can often suffer serious jet lag or an interrupted circadian rhythm. For Spock, who grew up on a different planet than the one their artificial time is based on and has a circadian rhythm built to Vulcan rather than Earth, watching the crew groggily wade through a new timezone is like sweet sweet justice.

Vulcans can live well into their 200′s, nearly twice the lifespan of the average 23rd Century human. Due to his Human DNA, Spock’s expected lifespan lies somewhere between these two points. However, this does not change the fact that while on the five year mission, Spock was in his mid-to-late 30′s, making him a relatively young Vulcan. During his time on the Enterprise, Spock was essentially a teenager.
I find it illogical that humans would figure out FTL travel before knowing how to double their lifespan with gene tweaking.
- # for real though
- # humans are more likely to figure out ftl travel compared with lifespan extensions
- # purely because there would be such a focus on monetizing and commodifying genetic manipulation
- # because if government funding can find a way to make money off of people's health then they will
- # but light speed?
- # pure scientific curiosity at this point
- # they do it for the knowledge
- # and in trek canon people do already live longer on average than they do today without genetic manipulation

Proposal: instead of creating fantasy names by inventively misspelling real names, create fantasy names by cutting real names in half and stapling them back together with mismatched counterparts. e.g.:
Alexamin
Danthew
Jamriel
Tyseph
Wilmeron@spockfacts jimothy
Is… Is this a callout post?
Because we never flinch away from the truth
Very true I 100% forgot about that
Vulcan minds are highly disciplined, but behind that structure is a mind as emotional and abstract as any other humanoid. Being able to control one’s thoughts and emotions has the benefit of making lucid dreaming a more achievable goal than the less monitored mind, but it also means that those displaced thoughts and emotions are more readily expressed through the subconscious. Very vivid and engaging dreams are common for Vulcans, though also easily controlled. The real problem is the telepathy.
That beauty? All natural, baby.
This is blatant Spock-wearing-hot-pink-lipstick-and-blue-eyeshadow erasure
you can only enhance what is already there
