My dog has gotten into hunting cicadas. And let me tell you, there is nothing more terrifying than when you look away for a second on a walk and suddenly hear SCREECHING followed by a quick CHOMP.

The ability to fly would open up a new dimension to explore (in the mathematical-physical sense—we already know Danny had opened one up in the other sense). Think of how much Danny would notice that no one else would?
Think of bees. (Not so much birds, because we see birds all the time, and also because they don't seem quite as graceful and maneuverable as bees.) When I did a search for how high bees can fly, I found something that said bees could fly higher than Mount Everest (little edit: may've misunderstood what it meant. They might not've been found flying that high after all, just that 'they could'). Bees can go anywhere they want, just for fun.
We as humans tend to (for the most part) view the world as six feet high. Anything six feet or under, we know about (or possibly up to eight feet. But it's not much higher than our height). And we don't really realize we're thinking this way.
Sure, we can look upward, we can see treetops from a distance, we can see what the sky looks like. But it's from the perspective of looking up from a distance. Our worldview is colored by looking up from six feet or less.
It's a flat surface. Despite us knowing it's not flat, we don't really internalize it as being 3D and navigable. And we also don't realize what's up there. Who would ever imagine there were bees buzzing around the top of a 200 foot tree? To get to flowers we didn't even notice were up there?
And, yeah, we have planes, but they fly in a set path and you can only look down at the very distant ground. Helicopters are probably more similar, but not many people fly or ride those.
But Danny... after the accident, he would've started out sticking close to the ground a lot, but as he started getting more comfortable with the ability to fly, his worldview probably would've changed gradually. From his preconceived idea of 'the world is six feet or less' to 'the world is spacious and easily explored and so very 3D'.
There's an episode where he's vacuuming the living room ceiling—as though he thinks his parents will notice that it's cleaner than before. And though I understand the 'I have to clean everything so I don't get in trouble' impulse better than I should, there's a chance it's partly from Danny seeing the house differently than before. The ceiling becomes just another wall for him. ...One that he might clean often when he has cleaning chores, because he's going to notice all those spiderwebs and cobwebs, and the little bugs gathering in the light fixtures.
(...He probably would realize the ground is also navigable at some point, too. Think of all the tunnels and moles and snakes and other creatures he'll see, and all the plant roots and such.)

I love how this show said "okay we are going to give you a pretty guy with a six pack, but in exchange, we're going to make him the biggest romantic disaster out of all the guys we've had in his position on the show." And so balance was maintained in the world.

Kanera moment living rent-free in your head most recently?
I got this ask after a not great day at work and let me tell you it was an absolute BLESSING. So thank you so much!!
Right now it's this one scene in season four where Kanan, Sabine, and Ezra get back from a mission (without Hera and Zeb, who stayed on their base) and the FIRST thing Kanan asks when they land is "where's Hera?" Listen. No thoughts only "where's Hera?"
Then a little while later she shows up (flying a ship that's about to crash) and Ezra's all worried but Kanan says "don't worry, she's got it" and it makes me VERY HAPPY OKAY? HE JUST TRUSTS HER SO MUCH
So yeah that's the current scene! Thank you so much for asking!

Having OCs is so silly because it’s like “here’s this silly little guy, oh and also I sat down and created an entire font for his dialogue”
