i love Sisko bc he has boring dad hobbies that he’s really into, like he built an old school spaceship in his garage so he could hang out with his son, he made a full architectural scale model of a house he wanted to build, he sat around trying to translate ancient runes for days just bc he personally wanted to know what they meant, he got super into making a weird little clock that one time. and he loves to cook and he’s super into baseball like, to distraction. put the plot on hold so i can play a quick game of baseball against some jerk and/or start going on a tangent about soup. i think of the bit where he gets so shocked bc kasidy tried to cook for him and burned the peppers he grew all the time. and he is not normal about any of this he’s weird as hell. like obviously he’s so cool and bad ass and a loving husband and father and so on, who cares, he’s insane, he’s constantly about to go off the grid and refurbish a bus into a microhome. he’s really good
As someone who’s grown food to eat, it’s the fact he’s spent ages tending these plants, anticipating picking and eating what he’s been tended, and then someone has ruined it.
If it was replicated peppers or capsicum or whatever you want to call it, he’d have had a very different reaction.
