lets do a belated meme while i write just...so many tags and open prompts
Velma is not good at fashion
So something he finds respectable and with a fabric that isn't a sensory nightmare. no gloves
probably blues and greens
greens to match any cute blushes she might manage to actually drag out of him
god, jim also has no sense of fashion, sorry for your luck, spock. but if he's dressing him, odds are he's dragged him to his family farm back in iowa and they're gonna be rock-climbing or horse-riding or something equally active, so probably climbing gear or sturdy jeans and sensible long-sleeved shirts.
he's not in game (yet), but he'd just take one look at the city's fashion and go

this is all impractical
just wear something comfortable, if you can find anything
i mean for dup, assless chaps ARE practical.
(also hi are you the jim on the tdm? if so can i throw velma his way?)
i am!! and yes, feel free!
huzzah now just... how awkward do we want to make this given her cr with spock
Schist: oh no green is cute. just emerald outfits so it's deeply apparent that he's flustered
perilous: The idea of Spock in jeans and a comfortable t-shirt/flannel combo is both sending me and immediately makes me imagine
he was instructed to split wood
he was unaware that an axe was provided
hold on i have something for this

wheezes
i give you jim looking like the gayest version of cowboy han solo and spock in flannel
why does kirk look like fred from scooby doo
I HAVE NO IDEA, this was even like.. a 2020s comic run
because han was my second thought with the side detail
also what's going on with spock's pants
WHY IS HE WEARING KHAKIS AND A BIG BELT BUCKLE
there's a lot to unpack with these fashion choices
good ol TOS era fashion choices
jim dressed him!! this is how jim dresses people in iowa!! i lose it every time i see it
wait what this was 2020 how
this is supposed to be post-year-five, just before jim reluctantly takes his promotion
he was like you're coming back to iowa with me and spock was like ok
i can't even judge dumb southern/midwestern fashion
there are some good panels in the comic, but this wasn't one of them
because this is canon still
comic artists (american, derrogatory) are hopeless fashion failures
TO BE FAIR THIS IS SHIT SOUTHERNERS/MIDWESTIES WEAR
no points for accuracy, i have lived in the south
I would forgive this only if that crop top had a college football decal on it
highschool also acceptable
crop tops are acceptable always
but also like, her and her husband crop top it up.
wait i figured it out, jim and spock look like a display from the gene autry museum
tbf most of that comic run is actually really good, you just have to occasionally ignore the fashion
i need to read trek comics, especially jaylah ones
i don't really follow AOS, but the more recent IDW trek comics have been incredible. old man spock is definitely fucking worf in them.
and lore is being a super obsessive creep over data, which is my aesthetic
GOD SORRY, i've derailed this plurk
i came in here and unsurprisingly exxie is being exxie about lore again

i just love him so much, he's the worst
perilous: Old man spock is fucking who now
for derailing or lore obsessively fixating on data
spock joins the defiant crew and acts as worf's first officer and the TENSION 🤌
i'm like you know what spock, you've been a widower for decades, you deserve a little klingon dick as a treat
okay but imagine spock in some mirror!bullshit amount of leather
endtransmission: i am a simple woman who just wants to see a vulcan in that layered black and gold leather + textured pauldrons look.
philippa manages a boutique in dup we could make it happen
he does need an outfit that isn't his science blues
not making it to the 32nd century meant he never got cool leather looks. (i understand why spock could not go, i'm just offended that there was no cool leather looks)
cool leather looks are my vote too
rogue should swing by philippa's boutique
perilous: could i maybe add you on plurk if you're going to be apping to dup ?
also someone put velma in something entirely out of her comfort zone but also very sexy and functional
(same. he deserved to serve in those nivar robes or in some wild future leather gear)
But yes, i am absolutely down for him dropping by her shop
the nivar robes were so good!!!
say what you will about romulans, some of their fashion is pretty excellent
(some of their fashion is also a crime against good taste everywhere but lets not discuss those)

if that's not trek fashion in a nutshell idk what is
equal split between fly as hell and why are you doing this
unless you're quark and then it's both simultaneously
