The thing about medicine in Star Trek is that it's really hard to sexualize given that tricorders and hyposprays and laser technology eliminate much of the intimate handling and puncturing of human(oid) bodies. Hence why that scene in Past Tense where Bashir feels up a guy to check him for broken ribs makes me feel like a Victorian seeing a bare ankle

the weird thing about aro readings of text is that like. fanon, right. fanon relationships and queerness . Sometimes Those Men Aren't Kissing . and its sooooo hard to say "hey guys, just checking in, have you considered maybe they are genuinely just best friends and not in a romantic relationship" without sounding homophobic. it is insane to me that every time two people are in a deep foundational intimate center-of-their-lives relationship the entire world says AND THEY WERE KISSING even if that's not, like, the text . the immediate impulse to assume every deep emotionally intimate relationship is romantic is so deeply pervasive throughout fandom spaces .
