#have i watched all of tng? no! but i have watched the like. two/three episodes that he is actually in so i think i'm caught up lmao #i just. well. god. i don't even know how to verbalize it #boy who is words-based and identifies with lucifer paradise lost when he sees data's fucked up awesome brother #his resentment at his creator for making him imperfectly but also for Not Loving Him. making him Too Imperfect To Love. #the way that he continually reaches out to data even when he's doing things to actively sabotage him #so that it's CLEAR that he cares. clear that he's acting and thinking a certain way to head off all the care that he's been burdened with #you Have to care about someone in order to be angry that they don't care about you. #cause wouldn't it be so much easier for him if he didn't care about dr. soong? if he didn't care about data? #but continually he's taking the time nd the risk to reach out to data. to ask him to join him. to offer to stay together. #because he's LONELY and because he CARES. #and god is it really his fault that he was created this way? #his last words being 'i love you brother'... i go INSANE. #valentine notes #star trek tng #lore star trek
