why would you read "classical literature" and "philosophy" and "actual books published by world renowned authors" when you can read dramione smut written by a redbull fuelled college student at 3 in the morning
When I was in the middle of reading Measure of a Man for the first time I was driving home from work and this song randomly shuffled on and made me gasp listening to it cause it lines up so well!!! I wanted to do the entire song but just didn’t have the time 🥲
Also MoaM Scorpius owns my soul 😭🌵 this took me so long to get around to making cause I was so nervous about drawing him - the babysitting Teddy video was actually me teaching myself to draw kids so I could feel more confident for Scorpius lol
(got kinda tired towards the end of doing this one so it’s a little messy but I can’t be bothered to fix it 🤷♀️)
""I—I love you." Hermione had never felt more vulnerable, but it was the slight shake of his hands on her back that calmed her. "And I've figured out all the ways you've been showing me that you love me, too."
I love how in "Measure of a Man" Data doesn't even give a hard no to Maddox's plan to vivisect him. He's just like, "Could you maybe do a bit more research before vivisecting me? Sorry, thanks."
One of my favorite chapters of one of the most iconic dramione fanfics. Nothing but love for this one. In the rare chance that you haven’t read this HERE’s the link. It’s a slow and delicious burn.
This fic has one of my all time favorite characterizations of Hermione. So competent and yet so flawed like any human, with a huge heart that was impossible to ignore. IDK just go read this please.

#Trektober Day 24, "Court Martial". Technically this was a personhood hearing, but imagine the awkwardness of actually having Tasha there. (Also, no shade on Data, Tasha evidently didn't have the safe space to explore her sexuality before and he's a safe guy)
Riker turning data off: pinochio is broken, his strings have been cut
Picard, holding a phaser set to kill: I would like to remind the court that being broken is just as easy for people Comander Maddox *does* consider to be sentient
I've ended up falling down a Dramione rabbit hole. I read some really amazing ones (Wait and Hope and Draco Malfoy and The Mortifying Ordeal of Being In Love are probably my favorites, although Measure of a Man was also PHENOMENAL).
However, I've just finished Manacled. It was so well written and absolutely brilliant, but holy shit on a stick if it didn't break my heart.
The alternate ending to the Battle of Hogwarts was worse than even my panicked teenaged brain could have come up with back when Deathly Hallows actually came out. I wept for characters I've always loved in ways I didn't think I could.
I finished the flashback scenes last night and thought about them all morning, until I forced myself to get back into it and read the rest of the story. Which was still devastating. But honestly.
I am currently drowning my sorrows in Meg Cabot's cheerful writing and then I'll have to reread something funny and familiar. All the people telling me they've reread Manacled, like, HOW?! I need a few years away from it before I could think of rereading.
In VOY 1x06, Kes complains that the EMH isn’t being treated with respect.
Janeway’s response is that “he’s only a hologram” and he’s not “alive”.
I can’t get over how different this is compared to the season 7 episode “Author, Author”, where Janeway stands up for the Doctor’s rights as a sentient being, a la Measure of a Man.
