Hyper-fixation-gay-edition - Sentience Was A Mistake.

this is such an unpopular opinion I am certain of it so

the heteronormativity in the star treks before picard and discovery is really really prominent it's not unspoken or even just hinted at they literally state outwardly especially in Voyager that men and women get together only..

AND I just think the retcon doesn't make sense, suddenly gay people have been there all along? Look I get that the reason was because our society did not believe in validating other sexualities at that point. BUT as a stickler for Canon..it would make way more sense if along with suppressing neurodiversity (which they also mention both in DS9 and in Voyager) ..it would make sense if they suppressed the LGBTQ genes as well.

Then maybe after communication with an alien species they decide to undo that choice...

Also in Seven's case it would make sense if her parents didn't opt into that treatment and no one on Voyager realized. There was a fic I read that did that where she had feelings for Janeway and Janeway's queerness was suppressed when she was a child it was so sad but it made sense.

It's just so weird that the other series are so prominently in your face heteronormative and Seven and Chakotay are I'm sorry such a weird choice for a coupling that it just screams Comphet to me.

and I get it we want the Federation to be a good organization but DS9 showed us it's flaws pretty clearly...and one of them was extreme ablism and if they just addressed it in the same way.. that would be better than a retcon in my opinion. That's all.

thinking about parents

unknown forces compelled me to draw this

was infodumping about DEH to my parents at dinner last night when I realized this:

evan doesn’t change his shirt until 47 minutes into act 1. jared, however, has a full outfit change 5 times up until this point.

disregarding the basic logic outside the fourth wall, this means one of two things:

a.) evan wears the same outfit several days in a row, or

b.) jared goes into the bathroom at school and changes in the middle of the day for no reason

i accidentally napped and had a dream (nightmare?) where a new update for stardew valley released where everything was the same except on a random day in year 3 Evelyn would just straight up die. There was a whole cutscene that started in her house where she collapsed, and then transitioned over to the hospital where Harvey gave George and Alex the worst news of their lives. However, they got to speak to her where she said something along the lines of "Yoba will protect me, and I am sure he will let me watch over you."

Alex and George would not talk to the player for more than a few words for a full season after this event. George would spend most of his time in the bedroom, so if you had less than 2 hearts with him, you could barely ever speak to him.

And Alex... oh my god, poor Alex. If you were married to him during this event, he just stayed in bed all day. Otherwise, if single, he would just stand on the beach most of the time, staring off into the ocean. If you tried to interact with him, it would just say "Alex is grieving... Better leave him be."

There was also other NPC dialogue like mayor Lewis saying "I haven't seen the community in this state of mourning since your grandfather passed..."

there was also a glitch where you could make Evelyn live forever and there were entire guides for the "immortal Evelyn glitch" that got patched out in the next update. If you tried to perform the glitch after the patch, mr. Qi would tell you that "hey, it happens to all of us. We can't prevent it, and neither can you, no matter how hard you try."
