Here’s what makes me mad.
Deanna Troi has so much potential and only got to show it a couple times.
The power to sense people’s emotions? That’s an incredible gift. Anyone can have a poker face, anyone can pretend not to feel…but you still feel.
Imagine Deanna Troi staring down a Klingon warrior and saying “you can’t hide from me…you’re afraid. You’re afraid and I can feel every ounce of fear.”
Imagine Deanna Troi getting Cardassian war criminals to confess.
Imagine Deanna Troi helping people with PTSD during the Dominion War.
Imagine Deanna Troi actually helping Picard through his PTSD.
Imagine Deanna actually using her powers.
Imagine Deanna with a storyline that didn’t have to do with a man.
Imagine Deanna being complicated and emotional and fighting to figure out which emotions were even her own and fighting to not lose herself in what everyone else is feeling. Imagine the profound way she is affected everytime they rescue refugees from the Borg, surrounded by so much sorrow. Imagine the wierd guilt she feels after they escape the BORG because that lack of emotion…it’s almost a relief.
IMAGINE DEANNA TROI
I was just passin’ through town, saw a little trouble and thought I’d lend a hand. But I ain’t one of your deputies, Sheriff.

This was one of my first drawings of 2015, I love Star Trek and I’m always thinking I should do more fanart of the series.
So, Deanna Troi and Dr. Beverly Crusher having a hot chocolate and tea in Troi’s office :)
I’m glad you posted this again, this was one of my fave pieces of fanart all year!
