So Data and Se'lina had a surprise third kid in Tomodachi Life and I am scrambling to try and figure out how the hell she makes sense in my oc's lore. like. you can't accidentally have an android baby. Bea took over a year to make and Lal took nearly two to get working again.

so I was thinking maybe it has something to do with Q. Something something Q style practical joke by suddenly making Ren, a semi-organic baby, just Exist™ all of a sudden. Maybe it's to repay them for something they did for him, maybe it's him just taking the absolute piss and just wanting to be someone's uncle because he's curious how it would be. but no matter how it ends up happening Q definitely becomes incredibly soft for Only Ren. idk idk I'd love suggestions too. aughhhhhhhh this is driving me crazy LOL

#aaagh the way you draw kids is so cute

#YEAH. yeah.#it do be like that

So ummm Cairns in ep Dark Pages caught my attention

Arcuate Fasciculus is a white matter tract that basically connects Broca's area (aka speech production) and Wernicke's area (aka language comprehension). And it looks like a similar curved line

In the script these parts were described as protrusions "that suggest increased cranial capacity". I don't like this reasoning – it seems illogical that speech-related regions would require larger structures in the context of Cairns. Soo I came up with a different explanation: rudimentary speech processing may have been progressively displaced toward these protrusions, thereby freeing endocranial volume for the refinement of telepathic... parts of their brain.

anyway, I was thinking about it for too long than I'd like to so it goes on tumblr. stupid details that make me go brrrr be cursed

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed. Initially I thought "Oh! Cairns have that part dedicated for something else, so this upper part is a transplant of some sorts engineered to use speech! Good for them being able to replicate it with technology somehow". I still like my techno explanation better

#do we like science-like speculation here orrrr #*it's kind of simplistic to describe language like that. obv there are more parts that are used for that. but generally yeah #**script info from memory alpha page for cairns #star trek #star trek tng #tng Dark Page #quoquegiggles

Slowly but surely I'm getting to the end of the tng, so I'll be glad to hear y'all's advice on what to watch next. I'm choosing between DS9 and Voyager

The main factor for me is Which one has better written female characters?

I heard that ds9 has better takes on aliens and stronger criticism of colonialism, something that I'd like to see after some bumpy rides of tng. Social commentary is a must for star trek imo.

Though I'm really excited about the 'stranded god knows where' atmosphere of voy, I expect slight flavour of cosmic horror with how lonely that would be. And I can't wait for Seven Of Nine, since I love characters who are weird about emotions.

↑ so these factors are also appreciated, y'all are welcome to confirm or deny them

Such a goated writing choice of TNG to give Data manners. Spock is half human and still finds any excuse to be a sassy bitch about them (and we love him for it) but then Data comes in and he's like, yes I also struggle to fit in with humans and understand emotion. I will respond by not only learning as much as I can about them to emulate them, but also making myself as likeable and polite as possible so they'll actually want to be around me because I've found they respond well to simple curiosity, openess and respect. And it works on all of us watching the show as well as most characters in it. There's this endearing sense of innocence and straightforwardness about him despite the fact his brain is this incredibly advanced computer. He just seems like a chill guy to be around. Not that I don't appreciate all the other autistic coded and/or alien characters we've had since then but I think that's why Data still stands out to me.
