I hate when you’re sad for no reason; you’re with people, you’re fine, you’re happy, you’re laughing and smiling, but at the same time it almost feels like you’re not there. You keep dazing in and out of conversations, you cant focus on one single thing. And once you’re by yourself you don’t want to do anything, you’re sad and feel alone. Someone asks you what’s wrong and you want to tell them, but you don’t even know what’s wrong yourself.
# i wonder what kind of relationship pike and spock have # i mean it looks like spock was able to talk relatively informally (for him) with pike # maybe pike tried to tell him jokes and laugh when spock didn’t get them # did they every have long conversations about the meaning of life # did they get haircuts together # who knows (tags via shoresleave)
#'hey spock your bang game is hella strong today' #'hella strong admiral' #'you could use a trim though who's your barber' #please though let’s look at the xi and xii difference in spock’s bang game #clearly amanda was his barber #until she was not #so spock’s mouth opens and closes with a peculiar half-frown on his face #and pike goes ‘hmm okay well you’re coming with me’ #and pike almost doubles-over laughing in his wheelchair as the bowl cut develops quite a flat fringe about it #but spock legitimately does not understand what is funny #instead he kind of … likes it #makes his face seem harder #shows a difference in the before-and-after scope of vulcan’s collapse #pike contains himself long enough to see spock’s relative satisfaction #they return to pike’s barber together often #bless though — spock must have visited him in recovery #tbh he was probably a father figure to spock too #warmer than sarek and deeply appreciative — like his mother was — of the side of spock that was human #OH NO DID I MAKE HAIRCUTS HAPPYSAD (tags via historianisms)
i like how they are still the same even when they are older

Because I’ve been thinking about all of this a lot lately, and I decided I should probably channel that thought into something.
