so im rewatching the gorn episode and theres a kind of throwaway line where kirk says "large, reptilian... like most humans i seem to have an instinctive revulsion to reptiles. i must fight to remember this is an intelligent, highly advanced individual" and im choosing to interpret that as kirk doesnt like lizards so i was wondering if you could draw something along those lines? like maybe he and spock are out walking on some desert planet and they pass a rock with a lizard sunbathing on it and he wigs out or something? maybe bones sees too and he cries laughing at kirk. i just think itd be funny to see him all stoic and then BAM a lizard

Because of this ask, I actually have this headcanon that McCoy put that lizard thing up in his office specifically to creep Kirk out so that he would stop hanging out in sickbay and distracting him so much.

But it actually backfired because this is also why Kirk hates coming down for physicals now.

Here’s McCoy’s lizard thing, in case you need a memory refresher.
