when ur first officer gets high off of butterflies and almost reveals your relationship to the crew
Also, also bearing in mind that said Vulcan first officer has to have sex every seven years or die. (Yes. It’s canon.) And yes, Spock 1701% knew that when he made this declaration of “fuck everybody else, I wanna be alone with Jim forever.”
So if they were to, as Spock so eagerly proposed under the influence of alien butterflies that reveal YOUR STRONGEST DESIRES – as in these are not feelings fabricated for Spock, this alien just tempts him with exactly what is already there and brings it to the surface – your own genuine, deepest desire, which for Spock is:
“Jim … We can stay. Just you and I. We don’t need those others … We can go down to the planet. We can be together, always.”
AKA Spock’s feelings for Jim get allowed out of their cage by butterflies but them bugs shonuff were not ready for the geiser that is SPOCK’S FEELINGS and they just explode out of him like: “JIIIIIIM!”
I am going to take this time to once again remind you, Spock has to have sex with someone every seven years or he is going to die. And he knows this. But his greatest desire is to go to this planet (or maybe any planet) with Jim. Alone. So they can be together always.
So uh … I guess Spock has just made it quite abundantly clear; he has his mind made up about who he has officially chosen to be his mate for the remainder of his Pon Farr cycle.
That is, according to Spock’s deepest, most genuine desire of having Jim Kirk all to himself on a planet so that they can be alone together, always. (Oh my fucking God.)
‘ALWAYS’ consists of A LOT of seven year intervals spent ALONE WITH SOMEONE who absolutely MUST HAVE SEX WITH YOU OR YOU’LL DIE.
Everyone clear the way, the boays gotta carry me to my funeral – these space gays have just killed me down.
Please remind my sisters, I specifically asked that “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” be played at my wake. (This is actually not fiction, it’s the Goddamn truth. If nobody plays TBOBB at my wake IRL in all seriousness, I’m haunting their asses with the intensity of Leonard McCoy yelling at Spock.)

A hand reaches up to pluck the Doctor off the tree, saying “C'mon, sweetheart.” The camera focuses on the speaker, Robert Picardo, as he continues “Bed time ‘til next year.” Picardo kisses the ornament, then walks off camera.
