Khan + tribble

Tumblr post: [link]

I was originally going to draw and color a proper serious pic...

But then, I started thinking of the tribble that [SPOILERS FOR STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS] came back to life with Khan’s blood… and this whole idea came up in my mind, about how Khan was lonely in prison (either while awaiting trial, or in some AU where he wasn’t frozen again),[END OF SPOILERS] and how loneliness if very dangerous for augments’ minds etc., so… they let him adopt his tribble so he’d be less crushingly lonely.

And the tribble and him become ultimate BFFs.<3

Whenever the guards look into his cell, they are weirded out seeing the supposedly dangerous prisoner cutely playing with the tribble, or rubbing his face on the fluffiness while the tribble purrs soothingly at him, and so on.<3
