What if "Cousin Selek" was a common joke on Vulcan? Like John Smith or Jane Doe, 'Selek' is a common name, so it's not entirely inconceivable that Spock- or any Vulcan- would have a cousin Selek. Or many cousin Seleks.

jim in the voyage home: spock babe u gotta hide your ears

spock: well Fuck let me just uhhhhhhh rip a piece off this bathrobe and tie it around my head huh

jim, in tears: babe ur so smart ily so much

I really like the idea that McCoy's ex wife is Vulcan, so their daughter is half Vulcan. It informs so much of McCoy's behaviour to me.

I like to think his ex is not very into Vulcan culture. She's keeps some of it up, but this is a woman who chose to marry a bumpkin doctor and move to small town Earth. She's not big on the Vulcan stuff. Like, her name is T'Mari or something, but she just goes by Mary. They names their daughter Jo'hana so Mary's parents could pronounce it, but they just say Johanna. Or Jo.

So McCoy is already an expert at half Vulcan physiology, he's just learning the adult male stuff for the first time. And any Spock specific quirks. And he knows his ex, Mary, showed more emotion than Spock ever does so all Spock's arguments about being Vulcan are unconvincing. Of course, Mary mainly showed anger at the tail end of things, but hey. And he really knows what Jo's grin looks like so he knows it won't hurt Spock to smile occasionally

Of course, McCoy is fully forgetting that Spock is an adult and likes Vulcan culture in a way Mary never did and it's fucking up to him what he does. But I think this dynamic gives McCoy good cause to think he knows better (even if he's wrong). And it removes the humans as default attitude McCoy sometimes has

I especially like the idea that McCoy never mentions it cos a. Doesn't like to talk about his ex and b. It's weird to describe your daughter's medical shit in conversation. So one day Spock meets them and is just standing there like whaaat the fuuuck. What the fuck. Whatthefuck.

Spock is autistic. and I will go to Orpheus-type lengths to defend that statement

She wanted to travel, to see and change the world, she just didn’t expect it to come in the form of a stone angle, a big blue box, and an old man who runs from his problems.
