Been missing some of the treks/characters I don’t get to draw as often so I think I’m gonna try to do a thing every now and then where I randomly pick an episode and do a page of drawings for it

daforge is so beyond platonic beyond romantic beyond sexual. here you have a man made of metal and wires who is always seeking to understand organic life and hopefully, one day, be understood. here you have a human who relies on technology to experience the world in his own unique way, who is socially awkward and forms his deepest connections with computers and holograms. this human is the only one on the ship who can come close to understanding data. the only one who can fix him when he malfunctions. who literally knows him inside and out. and data is the only one who can give geordi his ideal relationship. the best parts of a human companion and a machine, who doesn't pass judgement on geordi for anything. i'm gonna throw up

"Thank you for my life."

Now, THIS is more like my art style!

And somehow I did this all TODAY. It took only ONE day! It is HELLA impressive for a sloth like me-

Anyway, enjoy Data and his daughter, Lal<33333

In Theory??

I rewatched In Theory, and I want to try to explain my thoughts as clearly as I can. In Data's Day, I saw an innocent, friendly, curious Data, someone who was learning about life through people. Here, though, something feels different.

At the beginning of the episode, Jenna likes him exactly as he is. She is drawn to his attentiveness, his gentleness, and his emotional balance. But later, after studying literature and history, Data starts modeling his behavior on old romantic conventions. The relationship begins to resemble something out of a 1950s romantic comedy, and because he is an android, it comes across as deeply artificial, even a little unsettling at times, despite the fact that Brent Spiner's smile is incredibly seductive.

My point is that this isn't how Data normally behaves.

When he kisses Jenna and tells her that he is thinking about many things at once, constantly analyzing, I don't actually see that as a problem. Human beings think about countless things all the time, even during intimacy. That part felt honest.

What pushed her away, in my opinion, was that in trying so hard to please her, he stopped being himself. The quiet, thoughtful, naturally curious Data she had fallen for disappeared behind a performance of what he believed a romantic partner was supposed to be. I still love Data, and I always will. But this episode made me feel deeply sad for the colorlessness of his inner world, for his cold, unchanging emotional temperature. At the same time, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Jenna too.
