Jim introducing Alexander to the Kirk family tradition: riding horses.
I admit I never thought about a baby for the space husbands (the TOS timeline to me is already perfect and I never feel it like adding headcanons of my own to the canon we are already given), but I couldn’t resist the lovely pic of Mr. Shatner and his baby: it just begged to be turned into a Star Trek thing.I personally believe that, if Jim and Spock managed to have a baby with their combined genetic material, the child would look human, with rounded ears and such. I don’t remember if the whole “Vulcan genetics are dominant” is fandom, canon or semi-canon, but I still think the son of a human and a half-human would most likely be human. My personal headcanon would be human in appearance but with telepathic abilities like a Vulcan and more physical strength than the average human.
However… to not cheat too much, on this manip I’ve gone with the more general fandom version of the Spirk baby, a Vulcan (blond) child.Though I’ve used patch and rank from TMP, I guess this pic would be set sometime before TMP? I can’t give a date to this photo: was it shot after TOS was cancelled? Shatner seems different than the times when he was working on TOS but way younger than TMP.
I’m not even sold on the name: Alexander is the name me and @dragoneyes picked for our mirror!reboot Spirk baby and, alongside with his adult physical appearance (aka Jared Leto), applies to the reboot space boyfriends if/when I give them a baby. “Alexander” doesn’t work for me for the TOS husbands: I feel that, if they had a baby, they would give him a Vulcan name.
