Oh so Crowley considers taking shelter from a rainstorm together to be the ultimate romantic moment? Because he saw it in a movie? Mhm yeah ok sure dude, a movie, definitely has nothing to do with any of your personal experiences.

Also there's something to be said about the way they approach the doctor striving/demanding for people to recognise his autonomy and rights and the way they approach the same thing with, for example, data.

Everyone who treats data as less than human is portrayed as clearly wrong and often downright evil and while the doctor does also get his fair share of plotlines that affirm him being an equal to the humans around him, for every such plotline there are multiple throwaway jokes and off hand comments that basically read as "look at the silly hologram, he wants to be treated like the sentient being that he clearly is", often by characters that the narrative wants us to like and see as morally righteous and while I'm sure that was never intentional it does seem like a reflection of real life attitudes towards disabled people and other minorities.

Namely the shockingly pervasive Notion that, in the case of disabled people, they only deserve accommodations if they're nice and kind and happy and never ever do anything to even mildly offend or disgruntle any given abled person they interact with.

To use datas portrayal as an example yet again, if data offends someone it's almost always due to his lack of understanding of social norms and never portrayed as bad or malicious by the narrative, only misguided. Because data is "nice" the only people who deny his rights or autonomy are villains or quickly proven wrong. The doctor on the other hand, while not a bad person, can be conceited, rude, snarky and sometimes even a bit of a dick and while, again, I'm sure it's not intentional it does feel like the fact that he dares to have an attitude that's anything other than beyond reproach is part of the reason why the narrative doesn't seem to want to grant him his rights quite as easily as other characters both within and outside of the franchise.

Yknow I really wish voyager didn't treat the doctor's frustration with his limited mobility & being treated like a non-person like he was being ridiculous because. He was right. And nobody ever took him seriously what the hell was that about

first 2 days of my period are like if god said hey would you like to feel what its like to be alive whilst also straddling the line between stage 2 and 3 of human decomposition

Hi yeah I’ll have the cornish halibut and a glass of Riesling. No, wait. Bring us a bottle for the table. Thanks.

And it's finally finished!!

I decided I didn't care to attempt the texture of the dress itself. What I did try wasn't working very well, and I've been working on this drawing for months. I was ready to be finished.

thank you to @brookbee, @gay-spock, @twinkboimler, and @spocksautismdiagnosis for your ideas! writing a vulcan gossip mag was a group effort

Just had a terf follow me so i guess the she/it pronouns are going back to the bio instead of the pinned post.
