Hey this is Seraph5 (she/her)! This blog will mostly consist of fanart and long silences when I get trapped out in the real world. There will be a lot of whatever ship is setting my world on fire and whatever ships always have. Live long and prosper!

So I found out about spirk at like 1:30/close to 2am last night and sleeping gang? Sleeping was extremely hard because my brain was just running around between 'oh my god oh my god it's canon it's really canon. I would like to begin by thanking the academy but what if it's a dumb punchline or joke let's be real that will probably be all that's mentioned about it ugh that's not a payoff though I don't know exactly what I expect except I do want spirk in strange new worlds even tho in discovery there was that thing where she was like reach for people and we were like it's spirk and then it turned out it was the romulans like gah I'm going insane.'

. . . Where did you get that queerbaited impression from? She wasn't referring to the Romulans. She WAS referring to Kirk:

You don't mention Captain Kirk by name, but you drop several Easter eggs alluding to the future Enterprise captain. In Michael and Spock's final goodbye, Michael advises him to find his "opposite," who can guide him. Can you confirm that's Kirk you're alluding to?

Absolutely. That is definitely Kirk.

@speedygal Ah ok so in Unification in season 3 of discovery when they go to Ni'Var they replay an edited version of Michaels final words to Spock, while she’s internalizing the fact that he unified the Romulans and vulans, saying “there’s a galaxy of people out there who will reach for you…you have to let them…reach for them” implying that that the 'them’ was about the Romulans not Kirk. So though you are right, and thank you for the link the extra info was awesome and validating, I guess it felt like the show had kind of made that final moment about the Romulans not about Kirk. But also it didn’t undo what was done previously so *shrugs* I guess it wasn’t bait???
