My #spirkevents #bigbang fic is here! I had the pleasure of working with the insanely talented @lichqueenlibrarian.bsky.social ! I've been working on this for MONTHS, and im so proud of it! You can read my very spooky fic and see lich's scary art here:

A little cartoony Captain Kirk from the Alternate Original Series movies. He looks extremely irritated.

Close up crop of a cartoon drawing of Spock from the Alternate Original Series movies, his face screwed up in pleasure.

What’s going on with Kirk and Spock? You should find out by reading the AOS retelling of “Is There in Truth No Beauty” by @campyalien.bsky.social and then going to look at the artwork I drew for it! archiveofourown.org/works/81765976

Screenshot of the tags on my new fic. It's an E fic that features the pairings: Kirk/Spock, Keenser/Scotty, and Kollos/Spock. Some of the other tags include "first time", "jealous Kirk", "size queen Spock" and "comedy"

Screenshot of the title and summary of my fic. Title is "Optic Nerves". Summary talks about how the Federation is trying to combine its navigation tech with Medusan's and to that end has a trio of folks getting ferried via the Enterprise to the Medusan homeworld. The trio is then described as Miranda Jones, who is awesome and a telepathic doctor, Kollos, who is Spock's ex and annoying, and Larry Marvick, who is sweaty

MY SHIPBOARD WEEKENDS FIC WENT LIVE TODAY!! It's an AOS retelling of "Is There in Truth No Beauty" aka the best episode of TOS ever! Featuring an absolutely amazing art piece by @lichqueenlibrarian.bsky.social !!

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

I had so much to say about this process lol.

"Lichqueenlibrarian N/A, E, P AO3: Lichqueenlibrarian Bluesky: Lichqueenlibrarian Tumblr: Lichqueenlibrarian Keywords: Tentacles, oviposition Main Zine Page 018 Includes orange coded bar with tags for the series and topic matter. Lichqueenlibrarian's profile picture is of the Andromeda galaxy that has swirls of orange, red, and yellow over a dark celestial background. Two sketch images are on the first page, the lefthand image larger and the central focus. The second sketch is above and to the right. On the bottom right is white text. The larger, central image is an in progress sketch of a heavily pregnant Spock, holding his right leg up with his own hand, exposing himself in an ovipositional stance and process. There are eggs emerging from his sheath. Directional/positional lines are also sketched across the page. The second smaller image is five different iterations of eggs in varying sizes and shapes. Two are shaded blue, one is rounder and teal-green, and one is longer and shaded red-orange. One is uncolored and looks to be encased. "I was trying to make sense of what I wanted for the eggs on this page, along with what I wanted the rest of the body to be doing- I hadn’t figured out that far arm yet at all. I knew what I wanted was to convey a feeling of Spock’s weight, and to show with the hand grasping his thigh that he might not be averse to his predicament. Looking at the colours I chose compared to the egg colour sketches here is a little funny- I love blues and purples, and was very clearly trying to move away from that by including a red-orange egg option."

"The first image has my feedback from Ric drawn over it- the arm now has a place, and there are finally some tentacles! This was rough because I knew what I wanted but I wasn’t sure that I was going to be able to make it reality. The leg in the second picture is *so* off, especially in relation to the rest of Spock’s body. The oviposition part stayed the same through most of this process. I have no idea what it says about me that that was the clearest image in my head for this. I think my original pitch for this zine was more focused on the breeding kink aspect, and at some point it became oviposition/tentacles… oops. " Two sketch images are shown, one on the top right is smaller. It shows the original sketch from the prior page of Spock and a couple of the egg design experiments to the right of him. There are color coded additions from Ric that include a long violet tentacle that wraps around Spock's left leg, his middle, and around his left arm which is now drawn in red trapped above and behind him while bent. The larger of the two images is underneath it, with white text centered to the left of the image. The second image incorporates the feedback from Ric, anchoring Spock by the new tentacle (that is partially drawn) and his left arm in its new position. His face also has sketched features in blue, with his eyes closed and his brow furrowed. His head is turned to the right.

"Why did I have my heart set on this bright pink?? It’s so pretty in person but it was a real nightmare to photograph accurately. I’m sorry Ric for choosing such a wild pink! Originally it was going to just be the under painting but I grossly overestimated 1) how much it was going to throw off my colour scheme, and 2) how fun the colour was. I got emotionally attached to it. You can sort of see the weirdness of the colour palette coming through. The entire painting was made with that vibrant opera pink, magenta, cyan, blue-violet, deep violet, green, and white. I added some black to my palette but I wound up neutralizing that green with a bit of magenta instead. I was reading James Gurney’s “Color and Light: a guide for the realist painter” and wanted to try a limited palette out. " Two versions of Lichqueenlibrarian's painting are depicted, one on top of the other on the left of the page. The top version includes a fluorescent magenta background. Spock now has a torn blue science division tunic on his upper body, the tentacle is colored lilac and opera pink, and sketch additions that are uncolored that reveal Spock is now gripping the tentacles. His face is also now turned towards the tentacle holding his arm in place instead of away. The tentacle wrapped around his lower leg has his underwear hooked on the end of it and the eggs have more shading (but are not yet colored). The bottom image shows a more completed version of Spock's coloring which includes some darker violet shading. The tentacles are now partially colored (more than the one around his chest) in shades of pink as well as the underwear/pants in black and the eggs which are shiny dark violet surrounded in pink. His lok and sheath are now colored olive green.

She’s sooo charmingly drawn like. The soft expression when she looks at Spock???????? Her body language?? Amazing. So expressive.

I am wild about it, you have an enormous and beautiful brain.

There’s something so compelling about micro Spock or doll Spock!!

I am out of control about this. Rampaging around my enclosure.

I love the way you draw Uhura she’s so cute.

The doll one!!! Spock undoing his stitching!?!? 😳

It’s gonna be so fucking satisfying to let this monstrosity see the light of day.

Remember to make art with your boner. It doesn't have to be a horny boner, it can be a brain boner or a heart boner. Make art that makes you happy and appeals to your own freakish sensibilities. This is imperative.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

This has got to be like when your plane lands but they won’t let you disembark yet.

I'm moonscrolling

Excerpt from Sonni Cooper’s Star Trek novel “Black Fire”: Spock stiffened in anticipation of hearing Jim Kirk’s voice. He knew—very well—Jim’s facility for talking himself out of tight situations. It’s up to you, Jim. I’ve done all I can, Spock said silently.

Mhmm I’m sure he did.

[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Whoa 🤯

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

I love that the background for the final version, and seeing all the progress from concept to final illustration!! Also the translucent fabric of that robe?? So good.

Funniest thing the Artemis II crew could do would be to come back into communication range wearing goatees.

Too much coffee I am seeing colours from the mantis shrimp spectrum
