aromantic trans man kira nerys btw

its about ezri not having seen family in three years and "im about to present my family with a whole new ezri - and to tell you the truth, they didn't really know what to do with the old one" and ezris mothers first words upon reuniting being "i hate your hair" and its about "im still sorting out my pronouns" and "i guess i spent so many years dreaming of ways to get out of that house that i didnt see what was really going on inside"

I don't care what fanfiction has taught you there is NO WAY that garak is good at sex

amanda's relationship to spock is so fucking interesting cus she's presented as this beacon of light that tried and failed to save spock from the repressed life he grew into right, like she's the deliverer of emotional intelligence that would keep him alive in his childhood but she's not actually that emotionally intelligent she is just a human being living on vulcan so she was his only frame of reference. like she's very emotionally open but that doesn't mean she can understand the emotional needs of others and ends up actively harming spock and disregarding his needs when it comes down to it because he doesn't present emotionally in the same way as her. but no one sees it because she's the Nice Parent and so they may never have the chance to mend their relationship cus they don't know it's as much a problem as his relationship with sarek

spock grew up knowing he was loved by amanda and only found out sarek loved him after he was dead. he would be terrified to challange the way she raised him like what gives him the right? if sarek had raised him alone he probably would've killed himself a long time ago amanda's love is what allowed him to grow up. he could never admit even to himself that amanda was just as integral a part of the poison festering in his body for decades and slowly mutating him into this awkward untouchable thing

this family dynamic is such a good study in how love isn't what saves people it's what you do with it. like in a show thats central teaching is love does save you no it doesn't not always. it is stated as fact that both his parents love him, and it's true, and it doesn't fix anything because they used their love against him. when people come to terms with having been abused by their parents it's really hard to acknowledge love was involved because it often is but that's impossible to comprehend especially when everyone around u wants to use love as an excuse for abuse, or as a reason to demand u sympathise with your abuser, and so we usually switch to "that wasn't real love" but real love can damage people. real love is not some pure and stainless thing. a lot of abusive parents do Really Love their kids no matter how deep down or close to the surface and we're taught to think of Real Love as a thing that can never be twisted into a weapon but it's not true. love just like any other organic thing is subject to growing mold. anyway watch russian doll

absolutely love that diane duane is just on tumblr. like it fills me with so much joy. yes girl your presence here was so needed

need to aromanticise this fandom more

asexualise also

if you’ve got no aspec headcanons you gotta ask yourself why

i should post about aromanticism and asexuality more, it sure gets the bigots out of the woodwork. friendly reminder folks, i'm a loveless aromantic. i don't fuck with romantic shipping in 99% of cases. if you leave nasty comments about aspec headcanons on my posts, i will block your ass 👍

i can turn any character into a fat aromantic trans man. and i will. know this

do you think data would have been able to come to terms with his existing humanity and stop focusing on the alleged limitations of his android body if he had been able to spend time around people who didn't constantly judge him for every minor social faux pas

basically every scene I've seen of data and the crew interacting has been about data doing something that's not even wrong or harmful but it's slightly out of line from how other people do it and everyone is like "haha oh silly data, that's not how normal humans do things! ;)" and its almost like they expect me to care about this difference or something

Brunt FCA posting thirst traps of himself with huge piles of money.

If we could have a crumb. of Brunt FCA in modern trek i would discover time travel and go back to July 29th, 1930 and cause a delay in the test flight of the R101 of approximately fifteen minutes that would cause a butterfly effect which would eventually result in a modern star trek plot revolving around Brunt FCA posting thirst traps of himself with huge piles of money
