A screenshot from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which shows DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy, in his civilian clothing, leaning across a panel or something that’s out of the shot, smiling at Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock, who is in the right corner.

A screenshot of Star Trek: The Animated Series that shows McCoy looking sideways at Spock. The screenshot has been captioned with the meme text ‘he wants that cookie so effing bad.’

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 comic panel of Jim and McCoy, in their TWoK uniforms. They are standing over a cot with someone covered in a white sheet, Jim scratching his neck and McCoy with his arms crossed. Dialogue: Jim: What is, Bones? Did you find out what happened to him? Bones: Yes. He died. Jim: Besides that.

I enjoyed that seen with Bones & Data in "Encounter At Farpoint"

"Treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home" is still one of my favorite lines. His delivery was wonderful.

DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy, on the bridge of the Enterprise. He is wearing a tight black t-shirt and a loose fitting blue shirt is over his shoulders.

"What's so damned troublesome about not having died?"

Brent Spiner’s Data Soong and DeForest Kelley’s Admiral McCoy on the Enterprise-D. Data is in his yellow Starfleet uniform, showing McCoy around the ship, and McCoy, who has his hand on Data’s elbow as he follows the android, is wearing a dark t-shirt and a grey cardigan.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're close in on McCoy in his blue uniform. He looks serious. Closed caption reads, "THERE'S A GROWING IMBALANCE OF BODY FUNCTIONS..."

An image of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy as he is being tortured in ‘The Empath.’ Overlaid on top of the image is a text post by tumblr user nsewell, reading ‘torture the bisexual brunette man some more’

An image of William Shatner’s Captain Kirk as he is being tortured in the episode ‘The Empath.’ A screenshot of a text post from tumblr user greelin has been placed on top of it, which reads: ‘guards. Put the blonde man in a situation’ NOTE: i don’t think captain kirk is or ever has been blonde but for the purpose of the post i’m pretending

A screencap from Star Trek Beyond showing Karl Urban’s Dr. McCoy and Zachary Quinto’s Mr. Spock. McCoy has one of Spock’s arms over his shoulder and one of his own arms wrapped around Spock’s torso to support the half-Vulcan as they struggle to safety.

DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy and William Shatner’s Captain Kirk. They are in front of a wall that’s been lit up with purple lights, and Kirk is leaning on McCoy, hands on the doctor’s shoulder

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 :)’.

Star Trek The Voyage Home with the Whales scene. Here pictured is Scotty, Bones, and a third fella. Bones is in a leather jacket, Scotty in his red uniform, and the 3rd fella looks like a middle management type with a tie, brown sweater over shirt, and a big red button that reads "I quit smoking." Bones and ex-smoker guy are in a wood panel lined office standing and looking down at Scotty who is sitting at a computer & holding a mouse up to his mouth. He has a encouraging smile on his face. Closed caption reads, "Hello, computer."

OBSESSED WITH THIS ACTUALLY sorry i’m hella late to everything i forgot bluesky existed

OMG ???

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

from the Star Trek Writers/Directors Guide for TOE 12. 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.

meme of Karl Urban’s Bones with a speech bubble that reads ‘can you lock the fuck in’

‘Stages of Liking bones mccoy.’ It’s a meme, with a chart running next to a photo of De Kelley’s Bones. the beginning of the graph just says ‘oh this guy is rly cool’ but the end of the graph is a bunch of absolutely feral doodles losing their minds over Bones.

#TOSSatNight Typical! 😂🤣

yes!!! I believe it’s the TOS comic ‘The Return!’ but it might be from the sequel, ‘The Sentence’
