It’s not about fate Walter, yours or mine. It’s about changing fate. It’s about hope and protecting our children.

We as a fandom need to do better with Tom Paris. He does not get the respect he deserves.

Fandom has been very good to Worf in it’s readings of his motivations. We are told explicitly by the shows that he is Like That because he’s Klingon but fandom has rightly pointed out that this is not the case. He’s Like That because he’s Russian (and an adoptee from another culture and possibly autistic). Tumblr has displayed some great reading comprehension when it comes to Worf. What we are told is in conflict with what we have been shown and instead of trusting that unreliable/biased narration we’ve gone with our eyes.

We need to apply that to Tom. We are told that Tom is undependable, a gossip, flighty, disloyal to his girlfriend, desperate to weasel his way out of any obligation, and just generally kind of a fuck up. But what we see in the show is someone who is so dependable he’s kind of Janeway’s secret weapon. He will drop anything if she has a dangerous important job for him and he does these jobs diligently and with respect for their seriousness.

He is insightful when it comes to people yet never uses sensitive or embarrassing information to hurt people, instead he uses what he knows to help the people in question. He has a deep compassion for everyone even those who don’t like him too much (Chakotay, Tuvok) or are actively hostile towards him (the Doctor). (Even when the Doctor was being an asshole to everyone in Author, Author Tom’s holo-payback was kind. He didn’t embarrass him publicly and he didn’t damage his files; both of which were more than the Doctor deserved considering he was running a one-man smear campaign against the whole crew)

When a job needs doing on Voyager you see Tom picking up the slack. He is, if anything, a pleaser. He makes no secret of his dislike for medical work yet he’s an enthusiastic medic who is downright itchy to run to assist people in need. And he’s got a far better bedside manner than the Doctor. He hates that job but it’s important and he understand that so he does the job well.

After he and B’Elanna get together you never see him flirt or act inappropriately with anyone. He doesn’t look at anyone else like that.

Tom is a classic kid with ADHD. He has spent his life being told he’s a fuck up so he’s come to believe it. He plays up being the butt of jokes because it makes people laugh. Okay, so he gets super involved in his hobbies and tries to weasel his way out of extra work; so what. He also shows interest in his friends’ interests and tries to engage people in group activities and volunteers for extra assignments. He takes on too much and gets overwhelmed. He needs alone time to decompress. None of that is a character flaw.

On one hand Tom is what happens when you get the mom friend (Robbie) to play a fuck up, on the other he’s what happens when a good person who’s trying their best starts internalizing being told they’re no good.

He’s a scamp, he’s a silly little guy, he’s not perfect but he’s not the scoundrel we’re told that he is. Let’s try to treat him accordingly.
