Brain’s Been Rattling Nonstop About How My Favorite Album Duology Was Waiting For Me To Discover Garashir,

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.

Special thanks to @squimp who helped me SO much with designing Garak’s outfit!!!

sometimes u need a best friend to vent to

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

so many other shows, movies, videos I could watch now that I finally finished ds9!

instead I am watching s2e22 of ds9. again.

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.

> learn of the show “deep space nine”

> set aboard a stationary station that doesn’t move

> watch first episode

> it moves

where do the lies end

rewatched body parts. Beloved freak............

Everyone who loves ds9 and especially julian bashir: i can highly, highly recommend escapees or exiles. It's an au fic where julian is discovered as an augment during medical school and how he goes from there and his perspectives after ending up on ds9.
