Data's poem "A sunset bloom" might just be my favourite poem. A lot of it probably has to do with being neurodivergent and seeing myself, both in Data, but also in how he is treated... Yet, I cannot help but feel that there is something sublime about this poem. Something truly beautiful.

Then we sat on the sand for some time and observed How the oceans that cover the world were perturbed By the tides from the orbiting moon overhead "How relaxing the sound of the waves is," you said.

Already, we see a beautiful moment, shared, yet not. Whereas Data watched the movement of the tide, and contemplated the moon up above, his companion listened to the sounds of the waves. A shared experience, but different perceptions.

I began to expound upon tidal effects When you asked me to stop, looking somewhat perplexed So I did not explain why the sunset turns red And we watched the occurrence in silence instead.

Not only is this a relatable event, but there is both pain and love in this. The pain of not being understood, of being dismissed, where one would desire an avid listener, someone to share the passion and interest... and the love of sharing the moment, nonetheless, of companionable silence, of comfort in each other's presence... And there's more to it still, there's learning, in finding when a silence is desired, in navigating the social game. An ode to Spot is also truly lovely. So much love, shown so clearly and cleverly. Such devoted attention to detail. Beauty. But this? A sunset bloom? It speaks to me. It sells the moment in its entirety, it is at once both sorrowfully and joyfully, hopeless and hopefully, a moment shared, yet not. Pain and love. Beauty.

thinking about shipping with shoto… how he’s a partner you must be patient with due to his upbringing and lack of affection / socialization. he has a tendency to be a bit flighty and extremely intense. he needs someone to be gentle with his freak otherwise he will fight you

It’s kinda crazy isn’t it? How one moment someone could be your world, your everything. And then the next you never speak to them again, like you never met them…

Depending on how long you wear glasses they can slightly change the shape of your face. They can also magnify/make your eyes smaller so when you take them off your face is slightly different. But also some people just rock the hot librarian look

Oh shit I didn't know this ty!
