Random musings about an episode where Spectra disguised herself as a student, rather than a counselor to sow misery within the high school! Spreading gossip, being outright malicious, shattering friendships, and all that jazz! Plus, using that fact she looks like a teen against Danny, since unless cornering her, he couldn't fight her without looking like he's attacking a random student.

I’m a simple soul
I see a hot blooded trauma fueled man with an ego and daddy issues become an unwilling single mother who then steps up after multiple trials and errors to grow into a proper parent that fights tooth and nail for his daughter AND face said daddy issues head on for the betterment of his child thus reconciling and healing his own relationship with his father and bringing an enthusiastic grandpa into the mix
and I crumble

fucking love worf and martok's dynamic so much they really do think the most of eachother. martok's a successful general who worked his way up from a low social standing when we meet him, his troops have faith in him, he has the ear of the chancellor, he's a popular guy -- and he's completely obsessed with world's biggest weirdo social outcast worf. and it's not like a charitable kind of "oh this guy's got no friends, i'll look out for him" kind of thing, he fully looks at worf and sees the klingon ideal of a warrior. and i think he's perpetually surprised by worf's extremely heroic tendencies like he'll be watching him do some main character of an epic fantasy kind of shit embodying the values of their people in the way you long give up on expecting once you're an adult in the real world, and he's thinking "is this guy real?? is he real???" and not only is he real, he pretends he's not hiding behind martok at parties to avoid talking to people.

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.
Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.
So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.
In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.
Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.
It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.
Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.
