Hi, I'm Grace (she/her)! My talents include unwanted puns, unneeded song parodies, and crying over plays written 400 years ago about people who died 600 years ago. My blog has lots of cats and Ace Attorney and sometimes other things too. Transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism, and other forms of violent bigotry will not be tolerated.

It’s not mine, can’t remember where I saw it. Basically two different people played “Tom’s dad,” Richard Herd and Warren Munsen. While it’s mentioned in S1:E1 “Caretaker” that he has a father Owen, from then on both are only referred to as “Admiral Paris” and no one ever mentions Tom’s mother. Tom talks about his childhood a lot and you’d think she’d come up at least once.

Now from a production standpoint it’s obvious that they cast one guy and then either changed their minds or he wasn’t available. But that’s not how star trek theories work. Since everything has to have an in-universe reason, the simplest answer is that he has two dads, both of whom are admirals in starfleet, and both of whom are crotchety old men.

Now, some may say “why didn’t he say dads or ever specify he didn’t have a mom?” And to them I say because it’s the 24th century. No one gives two shits if you have gay dads. It’d be like telling a story “So my mom was driving me to school, she has brown hair, and we saw a Bolian in a wig!” It’s completely irrelevant unless he ever needed to specify one dad vs the other but he never did since they’re so similar.

loved being like 12 years old and making an OC and saying “yeah they’re a hardened criminal. they’re deeply involved in crime. they’re in a gang” and then never elaborating on that because i didn’t know how crime worked. this is still my approach
