The "Deep Space Nine isn't interesting because they aren't going anywhere" complaint is so funny. Like, even ignoring that they do frequently go places, I don't watch Star Trek eagerly anticipating seeing what angle they filmed Vasquez Rocks from this week. I watch anticipating seeing a story, and while this may be shocking, stories can indeed happen in one place

I've been really busy recently but I finally finished this drawing that I've been working on in my spare time. I'm trying to get better at digital art and figure out my style for it so I decided to draw Keiko O'Brien. I really liked her character and wish she got more love

the aesthetic romanticism of this episode. the deep love for discovery. the decolonization allegory which is not so much a 1-to-1 allegory, so to speak, because sisko proving that ancient bajorans had not only the technology but the sheer Wonder and Curiosity to venture into space is a metaphor for speaking against any number of white supremacist "histories" deriving from imperialistic paradigms since the age of colonization---

to provide the counter-colonization narrative with a space-ship that sails on the impulse of photons (a very real and possible engineering for space-flight--like NASA is building ships like that) is wonderful. this story about the ancient people who thought to travel to space and push their spacecraft through space off the force of light, and then sisko proving to everyone not only its possibility but its historical fact, was sweet and interesting and full of feeling.

it's all as if to say: to engage whole-heartedly with an episteme of decolonization is to engage whole-heartedly with an episteme of curiosity and discovery and love for What Is.

Autistic girlies when the TNG episode implies that Data does have emotions but he experiences/presents them differently than most people

Whenever Picard and Data hang out Picard's energy is always like a father who loves his son but is terrified he's going to start talking about Pokémon again.

one of the most underrated things about star trek is the way every other character is highly proficient in a truly random instrument. they're like broken little dnd characters with too many proficiencies. I love it.
