I’ve touched on this before but as it’s come up again I’d like to address it as fully as I can, with the understanding that this is solely my interpretation, today. In my recap for “Death Wish” I said that to date there had never been an explicitly non-heterosexual character in Star Trek. The statement was made pre-Beyond and pre-Discovery (I also miscounted the films, oops). A few people have countered with Deep Space Nine so I’m starting there.

First of all, I meant main characters whose names appear in the credits. That might not be fair, especially with regards to DS9, but I wanted to call out the showrunners for not including non-heterosexual representation in the main cast.

Second, believe me I headcanon nearly everyone on DS9, in Star Trek, in pretty much every fandom I’m a fan of, as basically pansexual. Some people wildly so. (In my opinion) Will Riker and Jadzia Dax are not straight. But, again, I want to call out the showrunners for not explicitly including non-heterosexual representation in the main cast.

Third, some specifics.

I was going to ask what existential crisis brought this question on, but then I saw your tag. Thesis panic. Yes.

This is the Mel Gibson movie right? :-/ somehow... Not surprised by your tags lol.

neelix tried to do this on voyager, right?

Is this Seska?? (the actress)

Who are your garbage sons?

The doomed characters I’ve played, so Macbeth, Cassius, and Hotspur. (There’s also the Dauphin, but he’s not developed enough as a character for Garbage Son status, so he’s more of a Garbage Nephew.) I accept that my biased interpretations aren’t the standard interpretations, especially if you haven’t had to memorize all their lines, but “standard” doesn’t mean “only,” and I don’t like when they’re characterized as Corrupted By Ambition/Victim Of Fate*, Power-Hungry Manipulator, and Martial Asshole respectively. NUANCE, MOTHEREFFERS.

Being out of school for a few years gives you advantages and disadvantages. I think it's generally for the best. :)

Yeah man...I think it’s going to go well.  I’m a much happier, more well adjusted, confident person than I was in undergrad.  I have a much stronger understanding of who I am as an artist, so...it’s going to be good. This school is such a perfect fit for me, I feel pretty confident I’ll thrive.
