Wonder how this queen is doing today

Edit: For those wondering, this is from a 70s nsfw sci-fi zine called "alien brothers" (more specifically, page 83). This little paragraph was right above a k/s smut fanfic written by this lady.

My friends at Stands and I made a thing that I just love so much., and I think at least some of you will also love it.

The Officially UNofficial Wesley Crusher Fan Club!

Why? Well, because we are all kinds of not official, and we don't want to get sued, we are the most UNofficially Official you can be without a permit. And it's about time Wesley Crusher got the love he always deserved, if you ask me. Which you didn't, because I'm using a rhetorical device. Thank you for your patient indulgence.

Every t-shirt purchase supports GLSEN, creating a better and safer world for LGBTQ+ students.

People also try to 'prove' Star Trek is secretly capitalist by using Joseph Sisko's restaurant as a gotcha. Would he really cook for people all day if he wasn't getting paid

And like. Yeah? Why do we accept people would join Starfleet or take up painting without a profit motive but it's unbelievable someone would choose to run a restaurant. It's an art but also "make a restaurant and make food for people all day" is, in fact, a dream a lot of people have. There are plenty of people whose dream life in a post-capitalist society is exactly that. He's not a landlord who just owns property, in fact those we don't see anywhere in the future. He's a dude who likes cooking who's cooking. Why are the goalposts now "to end capitalism, you must end cooking and winemaking or it doesn't count"

I know this is basically heresy to the Spock fandom. I know a lot of people will disagree, and fics will continue to do things exactly the way they always have. But I must speak my truth.

Spock is not green.

Spock's blood is green but his skin is best described as sallow. Pale with a yellow undertone.

Likewise humans are not honestly all that pink (no matter what Shran says). But we are more pink than Spock is green. We have a pink undertone, but Spock's undertone is yellow.

I've thought it over: the colors of human blood, with and without oxygen; the colors of copper, oxidized and not; the color of the copper-based blood of horseshoe crabs; the optical qualities of human skin. And I offer an explanation.

If you have a lightish skin tone and you flip your forearm over, you'll see blue veins. Which is why you probably grew up thinking unoxygenated blood is blue. It's actually not; it's purple.

What we're seeing is a scattering effect. You know how the sun shines in the atmosphere, and most of the color comes straight through just fine, but the blue covers the whole sky instead of coming straight down with the rest of the sunlight? That's because our atmosphere lets the other colors straight through (the warm white of the sun as seen from Earth) but scatters blue, making it seem like it's coming from everywhere.

Human skin does the same thing to red. While blue comes straight through, as if the skin were transparent, showing clear-edged veins, red is scattered. You won't see your arteries. Instead you see a pink cast that seems to be coming from everywhere.

Importantly, which colors show through and which are scattered has nothing to do with our blood, and everything to do with the optical properties of our skin.

Back to Spock. Oxidized, his blood is grass green. Which is kind of odd when you think about it. Horseshoe crabs have copper-based blood, and it's blue. When it doesn't have oxygen in it, it's pretty much colorless.

And this is the color of oxidized copper. I wouldn't call it grass green. The proper word is verdigris.

So for Spock's blood to be grass green, there's probably something yellow in it. The plasma, or the white blood cells, or whatever.

Unoxygenated, copper is ... well, copper-colored. Orangey-brown. I'm not sure if it's possible for anyone's blood to ever get fully unoxygenated—cells just aren't that efficient. But if we assume Spock's blood is less green and more orange when unoxygenated, we might expect a yellowish-brown, yellow being the only color in both green and copper.

So we just have to assume Spock's skin has optical qualities which allow yellow through more than green or brown. The yellow is scattered, while visible blood vessels (if Spock has any) might be green or brown.

Yes, I'm arguing that Spock blushes yellowish. His ordinary skin tone would darken. You wouldn't have a whole new color showing up.

None of this implies that Spock's mucus membranes (tongue, gums, internal parts of genitals such as a sheathed penis) wouldn't be green. Without the thick, protective Vulcan skin, a lot more would show through.

I'm just saying, Spock looks pale-to-yellow on the show and I'm okay with that. I think science can justify it. (Alternatively, as SPOCKNALIA argues, Vulcan skin is too thick to show much through it, and the yellow tone is Vulcan melanin.)

However, I may still continue to have Spock blush green just for art's sake, and you can too. The only law of fanfic is that your canon is whatever you say it is.

#i chalk it up purely to him being southern . georgian specifically #as a georgian ….. i can confirm that the thing they NAILED is bones not bullshitting anyone about anything #if he has to be mean he has to be mean .#star trek #tos #dr mccoy #leonard mccoy #mccoy #bones mccoy #doctor mccoy #spirk #mckirk #mcspirk
