remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots

I think the best thing about Amok Time is that it is canon that satisfying the Pon Farr is equivalent to marriage on Vulcan. Usually this is done with sex, and since T’Pring challenged the winner would have gotten to marry her via sex while the loser would have been dead…
but since Jim didn’t die, spock satisfied his Pon Farr with him, AND he did no frickle frackle with T’Pring, for all intents and purposes, Jim and Spock are canonically married by Vulcan law.
And idk I just picture that the next time T’Pau calls spock she’s just like “and how fares your husband” and spock is just like “hold up what husband.”
T’Pau: “your husband. James Kirk.”
Spock: “gRANDMOTHER THE CAPTAIN IS NOT MY HUSBAND. YOU ARE MIXING UP THE ENGLISH WORDS AGAIN.”
T’Pau: “You rolled with him in the sands and did not die. He lives and therefore he is your husband. You rOLLED WITH HIM IN THE SACRED SANDS GRANDSON. Also your father and mother believe he is. Your mother has knitted him sweaters.”
I like the idea that there’s a telepathic dimension to Vulcan flirting (actually it’s probably mostly telepathic?), just little pings of affection that are as subconscious and subtle as human body language, and if you’re Vulcan you don’t know you’re doing it and if you’re human you don’t even know what’s happening, it’s just like inexplicable shivers or static shocks that leave you feeling kind of high. To the point that Kirk starts asking if anyone else has noticed this and has Scotty check the wiring on the bridge and in the turbolifts. And then halfway through “Journey to Babel” Amanda notices that Kirk keeps getting those “someone walked over my grave” shivers right after he does something cute and she’s literally the only person in the universe equipped to take him aside and tell him what that means.
