Unexpected Incoherency

Flight Rising sketch commission from 2018, loved working on this one (particularly the wraps). 

[Image Description: 

A drawing of a mirror dragon from the browser based virtual pet game called Flight Rising. The dragon has two sets of eyes (so two eyes on each side of their head) and long fan-shaped ears. They wear tattered wrappings around their torso and neck, and a beaten up metal clasp is around the based of their neck. They have their mouth open in a toothy smile, and they look over their shoulder with one of their wings raised. Snow falls around them, and the monochrome color of the image is a dim and cold blue hue, but the dragon themselves appears happy and uncaring. 

More than once did Elizabeth, in her ramble within the Park, unexpectedly meet Mr Darcy. She felt all the perverseness of the mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to prevent its ever happening again, took care to inform him at first that it was a favourite haunt of hers. How it could occur a second time, therefore, was very odd! Yet it did, and even a third. It seemed like wilful ill-nature, or a voluntary penance, for on these occasions it was not merely a few formal enquiries and an awkward pause and then away, but he actually thought it necessary to turn back and walk with her. 

Look at The Galileo Seven, which is basically the trolley problem, but in space. The trolley is coming down the track and will hit five people; if you push a lever it’ll only kill one person. Kantians would say you can’t push the lever, because then you would actively be killing one person. Utilitarians would say that you must push the lever, because one death is a lesser evil than five deaths. 

McCoy’s argument (along with the others) is that leaving one person behind is actively killing them and killing is wrong, while Spock’s argument is that leaving one or two people behind saves the rest and not leaving someone behind would be wrong. (And then the episode wimps out and kills some characters so the choice doesn’t have to be made lol.)

They have this argument over and over and over and over again in a variety of situations in a variety of episodes. Every time McCoy questions Spock about whether or not he cares about that away team when he acts to protect the larger crew on the ship, that’s what the argument is! 

Spock: You must push the lever to change the course of the trolley.

Mlm ships overtake fandoms because the fans are passionate. Try matching that passion instead of trying to act as if they're inferior. 😐
