Kirk, McCoy, and Spock stand on the bridge of the Enterprise, along with two young children. Kirk is looking at the young boy with what appears to be a look of confusion, and McCoy has the little girl in his arms, holding her against his hip and smiling at her. Spock stands behind them, watching the four of them.

McCoy and Spock from Star Trek Legends game, standing next to each other in a primarily orange room that looks like some type of control room.

The same shot from a slightly different angle- we are now closer to Spock and McCoy

ah yes… u.s. navy photos…

pinterest ad labeled ‘U.S. Navy Photos of the Day’ that shows a collage of three images- the top center one is of Kirk and Spock from Star Trek making out with each other in the captain’s chair; the second one, on the bottom left, is of a fighter plane, flying over the ocean, and is also labelled ‘U.S. Navy Photos of the Day’ in white block text; and the third looks like fanart of Karl Urban’s Dr. McCoy in a mirror universe holding a child? But I am only guessing on that one. Point is, most of them have nothing to do with the U.S. Navy.

DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy, William Shatner’s Captain Kirk, and Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock all three standing in one doorway. McCoy’s back is to one side, with Kirk’s backside pressed to his front, and Kirk and Spock facing each other. Just barely visible behind them is Majel Barrett’s Christine Chapel, peering over their shoulders.

William Shatner’s Captain Kirk and DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy from Star Trek TOS. They are standing shoulder to shoulder in the Med Bay, Kirk in his usual yellow uniform and Bones in his blue scrubs, and looking at an out-of-frame Mr. Spock in the medical bed. Kirk has a small smile on his face, while McCoy looks mildly affronted- the usual, when they’re looking at Spock, I’m sure.

An image of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy that has been edited to be surrounded by sparkling hearts, as well as to give McCoy a glowing heart crown and blush. At the bottom of the photo, in pink sparkling text to match the hearts, is swirly text that reads ‘Future Wife.’

I have too many McCoy shitposts and I was thinking about him too much so y’all have to see it.

Meme template, that on the left says ‘people who like,’ and underneath shows a photo of Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock with paragraphs of tiny text that’s meant to show a long explanation for why someone likes Spock. On the right hand side, it also says ‘people who like,’ but this time with a photo of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy- and this time, all the text with it is one line that reads ‘he/him butch swag.’ I will keep pushing the Butch Bones agenda until the day I die 🙂‍↕️

A meme that shows, on a blank white background, a screencap of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy and Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock. There is a speech bubble coming from the photo, which reads ‘hey guys’. To the right is a doodle of someone pointing at the photo, and a speech bubble coming from them that has the lesbian flag in it. Then, there is a third speech bubble, another from the photo of Spock and McCoy, that reads ‘yes thats us :)’.

Behind the scenes of Star Trek Into Darkness, Karl Urban and Leonard Nimoy are chatting together, John Cho also standing with them. They’re smiling and laughing on the Enterprise set- it’s absolutely the sweetest thing.

A follow up of the last photo, Cho and Nimoy are both definitely laughing in this one.

And a third photo, Urban smiling at Nimoy, who’s smiling right back. <3

DR. LEONARD "BONES" MCCOY

Played by Deforest Kelley, Dr. McCoy is Senior Ship's Surgeon of the U.S.S. Enterprise, head of the Medical Department. As such he has medical responsibilities for the health and physical welfare of the crew of the Enterprise and broad medical science responsibilities in areas of space exploration.

As Senior Ship's Surgeon, "Bones" McCoy is the one man who can approach Captain Kirk on the most intimate personal levels relating to the Captain's physical, mental and emotional well being. Indeed, he has the absolute duty to constantly keen abreast of the Captain's condition and speak out openly to Kirk on this matter. McCoy is portrayed as something of a future-day H. I. Mencken, a very, very outspoken character, with more than a little cynical bite in his attitudes and observations on life. He has an acid wit which results in sometimes shocking statements -- statements which, under close scrutiny, carry more than a grain of truth about medicine, men, and society.

Of all the men aboard our starship, McCoy is the least military. He is filled with idiosyncracies which fit the character and are his trade-mark. For example, he loathes the Transporter System of "beaming" personnel from the ship to planet surfaces and loudly proclaims that he does not care to have his molecules scrambled and beamed around as if he were a radio message.

McCoy is highly practical in the old "general practitioner" sense, rates pills except when they are vitally needed, is not above believing that a little suffering is good for the soul and the maturity of the individual. He has a great fear that perfect medicine, psychotherapy and computers may rob mankind of his individuality and his divine right
to wrestle a bit with life. He's a superb physician and surgeon - often seems to be treating the wrong ailment -- but usually is proven right in the end.

Dr. McCoy is 45 years of age, was married once… something of a mystery that ended unhappily in a divorce. He has a daughter, "Joanna", who is 20 and in training as a nurse somewhere. McCoy has provided for her, hears from her as often as inter-galactic mail permits, but his duty aboard the starship keeps them apart. We will suspect that it was the bitterness of this marriage and divorce which turned McCoy to the Space Service. He was born in Georgia in the United States and can be something of the gallant Southern Gentle-an in social life, particularly with females. When the moment is right, a trace of his Southern accent will be heard.

There is something of a "feud" between Dr. "Bones" McCoy and Mister Spock. The Doctor, like most cynics, is at heart a bleeding humanist. Spock appears to regard McCoy as an archaic, bumbling country doctor, usually achieving cures through luck. On the other hand, McCoy Likes to regard Spock as little more than a sometimes useful piece of computer equipment. But, while disagreeing constantly, they do work well together when it becomes necessary and we're never but that there could be some affection hidden behind their constant battles.

Bones: Yes. He died.

Screencap from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, featuring an image of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy and Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock on a video screen. The image on the video screen is from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and shows McCoy with his hand on Spock’s shoulder, the both of them wearing very serious expressions. McCoy is trying to convince Spock not to do anything stupid, but trust, he is gonna fail, and Spock is gonna die.

DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy. I’d guess they’re at some sort of event, as they are holding about cake with Dr. McCoy’s and Mr. Spock’s names iced in it. De is in a dar shirt and denim jacket while Nimoy’s in a lighter shirt and leather jacket. They both looks fantastic and IDK what was going on but I’m sure I would’ve killed to be there.

I couldn’t describe this objectively if I tried, so frankly, I am simply not trying. This is one of my favourite Star Trek screencaps. It’s from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (my favourite Star Trek film), and is on the bridge of the new USS Enterprise. William Shatner’s Jim Kirk is back in the captain’s chair where he belongs, Leonard Nimoy’s Spock at his right hand. And just over his left shoulder, leaning on the back of Kirk’s chair, is DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy, giving Kirk the sappiest smile imaginable. Just over McCoy’s shoulder is James Doohan’s Scotty, watching all of them. This is the married sconespirk that exists in my little head and always will- they’re at home, they’re together, and boy are they happy.
