#Benjamin Sisko and Jake

If I had a nickel for every time there was a surprise child that suddenly and rapidly grew from an infant into an adult in Star Trek, I’d have two nickels, which really ought to tell you something about the state of child-centric storylines in Star Trek

I love Sisko so much. He really is a good dad. And sometimes he doesn't know what is the best thing to do but he still tries to do the good thing. I can see that it really really hard for him to navigate being a father for the first time, especially alone, ESPECIALLY on a station that is so far from home and not particularly friendly to kids, but he still again and again tries his best. And I can also see that sometimes he really wants to punish Jake but he stops himself and tries to find another way out of the situation.

Like in the scene where he goes to get Jake's ass because he comes home late, but then finds that his son helps Nag learn to read, AND IN THE NEXT SCENE HE STOPS TRYING TO SEPARATE THEM AND TELLS JAKE TO GO TO HIS FRIEND???? I am literally crying

And it feels that he's not only loves his son, but actually likes him and goes out of his way to spend time with him, be with him and help him as much as he can, and also not shielding him from the world, just trying to be near him

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE // S4E3 The Visitor It was me. It was me all along. I've been dragging you through time like an anchor, now it's time to cut you loose.

My TNG poll is over (Data won and I should not be surprised lmao; proud of dealer's choice Will Riker for pulling a solid third) so let's do another one!

Dax and Odo don't get to be in it because that feels like cheating. they're actually trans.

Now I know it looks simple. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. But it is not that easy. It's a difficult game.
