  • Kira was a rebel at heart.

    Bashir was in the “I’ve been genetically modified, which is illegal, so should I have kids?” camp, if I remember correctly.

    Sisko loved his wife.

    Odo was a gelatinous blob.

    Jadzia was influenced by past multiple personalities, so she likely loved pans and pots.

    O’Brien was a weeb. He only loved his waifu, the transporter room.

    Jake was a reporter. He loved crawling into holes he shouldn’t have been crawling into.

    Quark was a businessman. He loved risky ventures.










  • Now you’re reminding me of those literary analysis classes. “The author used the colour blue to express their hidden and deep sadness over the loss of a burrito to a seagull…”

    While we might be able to extract her point of view at the time of writing and we might assume its evolution based on her later public interactions, logic only suggests a probable conclusion based on those components, not a definite one.

    Rowling also integrated parts of her own experiences into her stories. How do we know Hermione wasn’t a jab at herself or some other girl she knew? Must it absolutely be a broad perception of real life? Why can’t it be a particular and individual event to have given it inspiration to grow into something bigger?

    Logic is only sound when it covers all the angles, not just the ones favorable to a set conclusion.
