GOD it must be so difficult for Bashir being the only bitch serving this level of ✨CUNT✨ on DS9

where do the lies end
You know, it’s important to have tragic blorbos sometimes because hey, maybe you had a bad day, maybe your job sucks so fucking much. But do you know who had a worse day? Blorbo bleebus, who’s doomed by the narrative

When I say a character has done nothing wrong, I say it with whimsy and humor in my heart. When some of you say it, I fear you truly believe it
lizardman finally takes a good nap :’>

rb to tell prev they're being so brave right now and pat their head a little please
have spent a solid mmm two days researching crunchy historical textile production things for work (tm)
the great news for everyone on HERE is that I also have a separate notes doc going for how I am going to weaponize all this synthesis as needlessly complex terok nor background info for a garak focused fic

this is literally the only compelling case for doctor kelas parmak being real like
who would win in a fight, the delicious trauma of parmak being dead as hell absolutely nonexistant OR the delectable drama of a man meeting the near-identical younger model he got traded out for
I can never decide!!!! both options are so great!!!!! two absolute cakes!!!
Honestly, if Kelas is real did used to date Garak that makes his POV on Julian even more hilarious.
Like, imagine not seeing your toxic ass ex for years, then he comes back from his state enforced trip abroad with a new boyfriend whose half his age and just happens to be a doctor like you. God he would be so catty, as he should
"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing
we share a warriors bond (we were both in the same fandom at the same time and now neither of us are in that fandom anymore but we’re still beloved mutuals)
weeping and kissing the ground, looking to the sky and raising my hands in praise
I made it through the first three seasons of voyager………. I made it over the other side, to a certain borgian entrance……. alleluia or whatever!!!!!
for me? it was s2e8 “necessary evil”. that’s when I knew deep space 9 was going to be different.
star trek has done murder mystery episodes before– yanno they’re fun, they’re a great format for a well paced forty five minutes where we can learn more about our characters and get some cheeky twists along the way.
“necessary evil” elevates that trope by setting the mystery on terok nor. it’s literally our first flashback look at the ugly political past of the space station. as an audience we’ve been learning to love and trust the warm vibes of the show’s setting– seeing a version of this place that’s dystopian, that’s horrific, that nonetheless features so many of the characters we know? it feels so fuckin visceral.
I will never forget the final twist in this episode. I will never forget learning alongside Odo what it really means for people to make the choices they must in the face of dehumanization, and the fallout that’ll haunt them for years. the realization that sometimes the most obvious truth is the profoundest one, and that sometimes all the twists in the world land you right where u started
the moment the character asks Odo if he can ever trust them again, and the shot lingers, and ends.
the episode ends there
that’s when I knew that this show wasn’t going to be like other trek. that’s when I knew this was going to be a story about the nuance, the incongruity, the unresolution and the things left hanging behind when an episode ends. that’s when I knew the writers on this show would wake up and choose artistic greatness in defiance of conventional tv wisdom.
thank you for my life, s2e8 necessary evil. we should talk about u more. xo.
usamericans do you realise that a stereotype we have about u is that you really really love ice. like the amount of ice you put in your drinks and all your ice machines are really silly to us. do your fridges genuinely produce ice????
don't you feel ashamed of what you've done?
okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.
they’re sharing
it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.
it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people
but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.
jake sisko jumpsuit haters are weak and will not survive the winter. who else on the station is combining patterns and colors like that? who has the effortlessness, the ease? aura off the charts BECAUSE of the insane outfits, not in spite of them.
People are way too mean to Jake Sisko about his outfits :(( his fuckass outfits are one of the best parts of the whole show. Seeing non starfleet federation citizens. Seeing futuristic fashion. Having fun with colours and patterns. Seeing his fashion sense change from a child to an adult. He has more fashion sense than any of the muted militarised "something you could find in abercrombie and fitch" ass outfits of modern trek shows. Where is your zest for life, where is your idealism? Only Quark has more drip.
i really do want to see what the alpha quadrant yelp reviews for quark's bar are like. do they fuck with him. does he get 100% negative reviews from bajorans for working for cardassians
Some Julian Bashir practice for ya'll! I'm working on a little ds9 fancomic and I forgot how cute he was
I find Garak intriguing because the concept of some one gentle forced to bé violent fucks. Someone who desperately wants to be good through kindness but was taught that isnt for him. That the only good he could do was carving flesh. But instinctually he feels that its wrong, that in becoming the Sword of god (tain) hé has lost something intrinstic and warped himself into something monstrous and it still wasn't enough.
the important thing to understand about odo is that he has the most homoerotic rivalry with quark but she's also a transfem lesbian but they're also aroace. he's got a lot and nothing going on.
My loving husband just pitched a DS9 fic at me and said these actual words "and there's only one bucket"
