Spock’s the kind of Vulcan dude who has the next thirty years of his life planned out in a color coded Excel spreadsheet and then. Jim comes into his life. And Spock calls Amanda and Sarek like “esteemed parents…. you won’t believe this but…he just DOES things…he doesn’t even think about them before he does them, this morning Jim saw a dog half a mile up the street and we were twenty minutes late to a meeting with the admiralty because he kept insisting that I give the ‘good boy’ a pat on the head. And also his smile is like sunlight and I can’t say no to him. Why is he like this”
Sarek’s just like “my son….now you understand how I feel when your mother insists that we wake up at dawn to view the sunrise together…it is completely illogical and yet….every second I spend in her presence is a gift”
And Amanda’s just sitting there laughing like “holy shit, they think I’M the emotional one?”
