It’s what gene would have wanted

(inspired by the prettiest tv ad ever)

If you're in Toronto and want to own your very own screen-used Pon Farr gong or the USS Titan's conference room table, now is your chance! Imagine having the conference room table for just $25😂

You can own whole bridge panels too!

Here are all the studies I made so far. I don't know if I'll make more in the future, but I really had a lot of fun and learnt a lot.

It’s fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.

And he decides he’s honored by it, in a humanly illogical way.

The humans are asking him to do what is after all his job, and specifically requesting him for the joy his name brings them on top of an already agreeable and satisfying task. He has no objection to engendering positive emotions in others. Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so happiness must logically slow it down. 

Plus, Vulcans of his generation love puns. There were two decades of punning competitions in colleges across the planet. So when he realizes that he is a walking zero-effort pun, and that the humans also love the pun, he is all for it. He is the Joe Cool of the entire Vulcan population in his city. 

And via this pun, the humans are including him in a cherished and traditional myth, by casting him as the literal bringer of life and the expander of families. 

For real though working together with some human social workers, a Vulcan would be an excellent caretaker for children in an adoption center.

Child has a meltdown? Imagine Stork, perfectly calm and unbothered, approaching the kid and saying “You appear quite upset, Eliza. If you would please allow me to relocate you to the ‘bean-bag-chair,’ we can discuss the source of your distress.”

A Vulcan educated in medicine and child psychology would be endlessly patient with a kid with behavioral issues. Stork wouldn’t get or upset or frustrated. After all, these are children with medical and psychological conditions. It would be illogical to blame the child or to not treat them with the appropriate care.

Even if the a little one was having a bad day or was just overtired, Stork wouldn’t get angry. He might even be a calming presence. Any new kids acting out would learn real quick that they’d have better luck trying to arm-wrestle a Klingon than get a rise out of Stork.

Not only that, Vulcans live much longer than humans. Imagine Stork looking virtually unchanged as decades pass. Kids he’d helped years ago would turn up fully grown, maybe there to adopt their own kids, and run into Stork, looking almost exactly as they remember him.

kira initially treats him as a threat to her goals and assumes he doesn’t care what they are so he only pushes back on her as much as she challenges him, but compromises and even defers to her judgement when she’s honest about why she wants what she wants (also i’ve been rewatching s1 and in ‘progress’ there’s this great moment when he’s trying to order her back to the station as gently as possible and kneels down next to her instead of looming or demanding that she stand at attention, it’s a very sweet little detail). bashir is ignorant out of inexperience and acts before he’s done thinking, so sisko clearly tells him how, not just when he’s out of line, walks him through his more impulsive decisions step by step, entertains questions that aren’t immediate challenges and even offers anecdotes about his own life to convince him to do things he doesn’t want to. jadzia is younger and newer to the chain of command as curzon, and likely leans on ben’s input far more frequently than she would if she were still his superior, so ben reflects what he learned from curzon back to her honestly, without any illusions about how she’s kind of a better person, and comes to her for advice in turn to confirm that it’s her perspective he values. when he has to intervene in odo’s investigations or pair him off with another officer, he stays clear and firm about why that’s necessary and what the new chain of command is because he knows odo flounders without certainty. he can quote the rules of acquisition to quark at the drop of a hat and has no problem openly telling garak he’s blackmailing him. i joke about him being completely impervious to dukat/weyoun/eddington/etc’s mind games but it’s not like the antagonists in the series don’t give him a lot of moral grief, it’s that he refuses to engage with them while they’re actively trying to undermine his goals
