Still Trying To Figure Out Human Behavior

every friend group should include

you know what I’m thankful for? the scene in “badda bing, badda bang” in which ben explains that he’s uncomfortable with the vic fontaine program because it presents a sanitized vision of the past that cleanly glosses over the fact that people of color wouldn’t be welcome in an opulent vegas casino in 1962. and then kasidy replies with her thoughts on the importance of reclaiming fantasy, allowing fiction to be more inclusive than historical fact because acting out how things should have been can provide a kind of catharsis. i love that both of their arguments are equally valid responses to media like the vic program. they’re both responses that anyone from a marginalized community can genuinely relate to when it comes to discussing media representation (factual accuracy versus wishful fantasy? retroactive representation versus representation in new media that gives the spotlight to people who haven’t been allowed to be illuminated before?)

Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you’ll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot. our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun!
