fandomsandfeminism:xanindigo: oboe-youdidnt: dubiousculturalartifact: solitarelee: captainsblogsupplemental: I actually… love this i once wrote an entire academic paper with the central thesis of ‘everyone is kind of a dick to Data and it honestly kinda reflect how people treat neurodiverse people, which is also why we neurodiverse people relate to him so hard’ the original post was missing a line, so here’s the full poem!! Perfect anapestic tetrameter, carrying the underlying message that the beauty of the world lies in the interconnectedness of nature, even across astronomical scales, but that sometimes that beauty can defy explanation, being greater than the sum of its physical parts. The ending carries a feeling of zen, with the unspoken contentment of simply existing as just another part of the cosmos. tl;dr It’s actually very good All of that. And also, it really evokes the way that people can struggle to communicate with each other and yet still be able to connect. That the way individuals experience beauty is unique and often impossible to express, but that they can still find common ground in that beauty. And for a character like Data, who deeply struggles with recognizing and expressing his own emotions, his own humanity, and to have others see the humanity in him? *chefs kiss* -- source link
