Hello!!! I'm back once more and today I bring with me my ferengi headcanons :}
With that said, I've drawn three ferengi icons in my style!
Also, I bet the top sheet full of my headcanons is blurry, so have sections of it here:
(yeah, I know. convenient, considering you probably already took your time to struggle to read the full sheet and you could have just scrolled down all this time)
Welp, hope you enjoyed! Now I'm gonna go to bed and get some well needed rest
When the dominion war hits hard on Damar and Dukat
Wipped out the digital pen for this one, can't believe one of my favorite art pieces so far this month is a re-draw of a meme lmao
Anywayssss here's the original picture, courtesy of @oomox-oclock 's discord server:
(ps, is it just me that thinks the way I drew damar makes him look like a disney father??)
GARAK FANART ALERT
Our favorite tailor has been drawn in Paint 3D and is ready to be printed! I'm decorating my sketchbook and need some Star Trek on it so I decided to make my own sticker ;)
Anyone can print this out and use it as a sticker as well if you want!
Now, off to make more :P
It's star trek. We don't really question a franchise that made a movie whose entire plot is save the whales, and made it good
Ds9 fans are so obsessed with Garak boobs that they forget to wonder how a lizard can have boobs
So there has been a debate on how no other planet had the cultural diversity as earth in countries, languages, etc. and I think I know why. Every other planet had a global socaity BEFORE they joined the federation. A world government, universal language, and common form of money for hundreds of years. Earth did not! Earth was in the slums to the point that some guy wanted to launch himself into space as fast as he possibly could even if he had to break the speed of light to do it. However, keeping the diversity for that long made them perfect for exploring other planets better than those of global communities, allowing them to be the best captains that were willing to break the rules when needed at the same time great compromisers. To understand humanoids better than any other.

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
With defection came a wide plethora of new foods, ideas, and things to explore for the Vorta. And Weyoun wants to explore every single one with the one he love most: you.
A few of his favourite activities to indulge in include watching films and trying out new culinary delights. He, of course, has no sense of aesthetic, but with your help he begins to finally understand the simple pleasures in life.
If anything, when it comes to films, he enjoys analyzing the character’s behaviour so that he can apply his newly gained knowledge to those around him. Whether it has any real life application and truth is something that he will happily figure out through trial and error.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
If something is perfect, can someone really pick an aspect to favor over all the others? That’s how Weyoun views it at least. So why should you be any different?
To Weyoun, every aspect of you was sculpted by the Founders; there was not one part of you that was less than perfect and Weyoun intended to prove that point every day.
Despite that though, Weyoun has a strange interest in your eyes. He read somewhere that the eyes were the gateway to the soul, and to know that he can access the depths of your inner psyche just by gazing into your eyes intrigues him more than anything else has. If your soul was anywhere near as beautiful as your eyes, Weyoun swears that he would fall even more in love with you.
Oddly enough, he is also particularly found of your arms. He knows it’s a weird thing to focus on, but the way in which you wrap them around him makes him feel like the safest person in the galaxy. Especially when his fears begin to dominate his thoughts.
Mentally, he appreciates your compassion and honesty. Before you, he had only encountered those who had their minds made up on how they felt about him. No one tried to get to know the real him and had attempted to look past the responsibilities the dominion had thrust upon him even less. When you came around though, he finally got to experience what it was like for a person to care for and appreciate even the smallest aspects of himself.
And to be cared for and loved in such a genuine way for the first time is one of the most emotional things to a love-starved person.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Anytime you feel burdened by an issue, Weyoun is by your side in an instant. He knows how it feels to be unappreciated and unloved so, if that's something you've been struggling with, he is more than happy to sit down with you and silence those fears.
Working to make sure you know how much of a priority you are to him is as vital as breathing in his books.
If you have a day where you feel more depressed and apathetic, he has no issue laying with you and taking care of the aspects you feel like you can't deal with. Even if that means calling in sick for you, cancelling both of your appointments, or just helping you bathe.
Being skilled in the art of diplomacy, as well as being educated on all sorts of human issues, Weyoun knows how to deal with everything in a timely and efficient manner; especially when it comes to people. So if it’s an interpersonal issue you’ve been dealing with, he is more than glad to take the reigns and deal with people for you.
Overall, he can't stand seeing you in pain of any kind.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Before defecting, Weyoun knew that there was little point in dreaming up a future with you. Although you liked his company, you did not like the company he hung around. And that was something that he knew would keep the two of you apart.
After defecting, he let his inner fantasies run wild. The more he learned about you, your culture, and everything else about you that he could get his hands on, the more he wants to be like the things you love. Anything as long as it meant he could be with you.
There’s little that he doesn’t want to do with you actually. Get Married? Already bought the ring. Have a child? Don’t even mention it, he’s got time set aside or adoption papers ready as you speak. Up and run away to live a peaceful life by yourselves? The escape pod is ready darling...
All in all, Weyoun just wants to be there for and with you. So your future together is just based on what you and him are most comfortable with; which is usually something of your choice.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or are they rather passive?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Ever since he defected from the dominion, Weyoun has had a tad bit of trouble being dominant over someone he respects so highly. With those he considered beneath him, it was easy to be dominant. But with someone he loved and basically worshipped? He could never.
He is excessively submissive in a relationship, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. To you, this is a fantastic opportunity to shower him in affection, praise him, and let him heal from the horrific treatment he received at the hands of his 'Gods.'
It may be a lot different than what he is used to, but after he gets the general feel of it everything clicks into place.
Only after developing trust in your relationship will he begin to show his newly developed dominant side towards you. And let's be honest, we all liiivvee for dominant Weyoun 😩👏👏
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How is their fighting?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
True to his nature and profession, Weyoun is undoubtedly good at defusing situations; your fights being one of them. Though, that also means you two end up having a shockingly small amount of ‘fights’ over the period of your relationship.
With your sympathetic and compassionate nature, as well as his diplomatic skills, you two have an effortless system devised in order to get to the root of every issue that ends up popping up.
Much like how he was to the founders and his ‘superiors,’ Weyoun is almost too willing to forgive your slip ups and mistakes made against him. And, although this may seem nice, the fact that he accepts any unwarranted judgment towards himself really concerns you. Just like many other traumas from his past, you are trying to help him move past and heal from certain experiences that make him feel inferior and unworthy.
If you two somehow did end up getting into a fight, he is somewhat ruthless with his words. When he reverts back to his old ways to comfort himself, he ends up being cold and calculating; putting himself in a better position so that he can feel safe and keep you at bay. When you both finally realize why he does this, you both make an attempt to heal the trauma and move on.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
G ratitude - How grateful are they they in general? Are they aware of what there s/o is doing for them?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Being a born diplomat, he is naturally grateful. He understands the effort and care you put behind things, so he has no qualms with expressing his gratitude towards such efforts.
Given the fact that he has had to be on the look out for everything his ‘enemies’ did, as well as anything that would make the ‘gods’ upset, he notices every little detail you put into things. This is especially true when it comes to you guys’ relationship; he knows how hard you work to help him heal, and he puts in just as much effort for you day in and day out.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Besides the secrets he has to keep for work and other people, Weyoun keeps an open and honest stream of communication between you two. He knows how vital knowledge can be when trying to achieve a goal. Especially when that goal is love. And, in order to experience everything that love has to offer, one lesson he is forced to learn is that of mutual trust.
Quid Pro Quo essentially.
If you are willing to be vulnerable and trust him, why shouldn’t he be the same way?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Being honest, you and Weyoun have both learned something from being in a relationship together.
For Weyoun, he learned the importance of vulnerability and how not everyone has negative intentions towards him; he can make friends with people AND receive things in return without having to give back. For him, anything foreign was not to be trusted. Everyone had negative intentions and didn’t realllyyy like him. But after you two got together, he learned to heal from those emotional wounds and learned about parts of himself that he never would have under the Dominion.
On top of that, he learned to let loose and have fun with the things he experiences. Instead of always looking for the practical use of things and attempting to be productive, Weyoun begins to take his time and relax. Something he has, admittedly, never done before.
On your part, Weyoun was taught you a lot about self-discipline and charisma. He taught you how to not only handle your emotions, but the emotions of those around you. And while others have picked up on the weird, but not entirely unwelcome change in you, they refrain from bringing it up. Especially when there’s a suspiciously intense Vorta breathing down their neck every time they do.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Keeping you guys’ relationship a secret came with a lot of things. One of the main ones is having other people hit on you. CONSTANTLY. And while he too appreciates your beauty and personality, he feels as though he is the only one that should be graced with all the secret and vulnerable parts of you. Only he can be with you and know you on an intimate level.
So imagine how awful it felt when he learned that you had friends. The kind that you told loved and respected as well. Oh the humanity; boy is devastated.
Being serious though, he hides his jealousy very well. At first it wasn’t an emotion that he could pinpoint very well; he knew he was upset, he just didn’t know the reason why.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Weyoun is a fantastic kisser. Cannot. Stress. This. Enough. Man’s calculated, educated, precise, and adaptable. Of course he’s gonna pick up on all the little mannerisms you enjoy and prefer. Being honest, Weyoun probably does a plethora of research before you two have your first kiss so that he doesn’t disappoint you. The Vorta have no use for physical affection, so things like this, at first, are very confusing to him. Until he gives it a shot and learns about the benefits of it he’s probably hesitant to try things out with you.
His first kiss with you probably looked something like this:
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
I feel as though Weyoun would really go all out for his confession, but like, in a very subtle way. Weyoun has no prior experience with being in a relationship, so naturally he has to do some research. Especially when he isn’t even sure what emotions he’s beginning to feel towards you.
At first he began to look for signs that you could possibly like him back. Flushed cheeks, nervous tone of voice, longing glances thrown his way, seeming too interested in your conversations and time spent together, literally anything. If you didn’t, then what was the point in wasting time admitting his feelings? Better to avoid it entirely than get outright rejected...
If you do show signs of having feelings towards him he begins to plan his next move: confessing.
In order to achieve the best possible result, Weyoun researches everything he can on your interests and preferences. He picks the perfect date location, best food options, and even wears cologne that meets your scent preference. Then, he casually asks you if you want to spend sometime together and lets the night unravel itself; everything calculated, but not outright obvious.
When the night hits its peak, he begins to reveal all the emotions that he’s been developing towards you. He explains what drew him to you, how you’ve changed him, and how excited he’s become to move on from his previous lives. All because of your presence in his life.
It shocks you, no doubt, but you can’t help but believe him when he says:
“It’s you, because no one else makes sense. Whenever we’re together, the struggles become worth it and I find that I can only make it through the day when you’re around.”
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
To Weyoun, being able to legitimize your union and show the universe just how dedicated you are to each other would be an absolute dream. Despite his apprehensiveness about it.
Once he learns to trust you fully (which will take a significant amount of time) the first thing he wants to do is ask you to marry him. Since he doesn't have any real friends, and even less people like him, you two have a small wedding on a friendly planet close to Deep Space Nine. You end up having (y/f/c) be your (person) of honour while he has Keevan be his best man. Along with what little company you two have, you both enjoy yourselves to the best of your abilities; having your ceremony, sharing the food you love, and exploring the woodland region you two got married in.
He doesn’t have any traditional clothing to wear from his home planet, so he gets Garak to tailor a purple suit to match nicely with your lilac wedding dress/purple suit.
Something like this:
Overall, you both have a wonderful day and even better night.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
N icknames - What do they call their s/o?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Since Weyoun isn’t accustomed to the many nicknames those in the Alpha Quadrant use, he uses those from his own tongue. His favourites include waiyau/waiyauta and zhimata because they’re straight to the point. He knows that no one else aboard Deep Space 9 understands Dominionese, so being able to reveal that you’re his partner and lover in an indirect manner feels amazing to him. If anything, it’s the only way that he can openly admit you’re in a relationship.
But if anyone asks what it means he just says it’s a term of respect. Nothing too suspicious.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
When he’s in love, Weyoun doesn’t seem so intimidating. As much as he would like to admit differently, Weyoun is a die-hard romantic. Instead of breezing by stores in boredom like he used to he now stops to peruse their inventory; hoping to find something that you might like.
Ever since you came into his life Weyoun began to slowly loose the facade that he had previously held together so efficiently. People begin to notice him becoming less focused on manipulating them and more interested in seeing things from their point of view. This boosts his popularity with other people, but also makes their suspicion double. It isn’t until people start realising that he’s in a relationship that they slowly start trusting him.
With you, Weyoun is more carefree and curious. He is free to explore ideas previously foreign to him and feels safe enough to voice opinions that would have been deadly to reveal in a past life.
Weyoun expresses his love in every form possible: written word, physical touch, kind and loving words, and small, but meaningful actions. It provides a welcoming distraction to his hectic life and makes him content, aware that his actions will bring you immense joy.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Given his past and current occupation, Weyoun is reluctant to release the status of your relationship to the public. His natural possessive instinct wants to show everyone that you are his and no one else's, but reality prevents him from doing this. If one of the countless enemies he made over the course of his lives decided that they wanted to seek revenge on him, what’s stopping them from using you as leverage?
As strong as he knows he is, seeing you get hurt would break him. Which is why he tries so hard to keep your relationship private.
‘What other’s don’t know won’t hurt him’ is something that he lives by.
He is, by no means, shy to show you the affection you deserve, but he is scared of the repercussions it may have. So, instead, he does small things to show that he cares.
A smile when your glances meet across the room, a hand on the small of your back when he manoeuvres around you, pulling you into a dark corner to sneak a kiss- y’know, small things.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Q uirk - Some random ability they have that's beneficial in a relationship
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Weyoun is very direct and calculated with everything that he does, so your relationship is no different. His directness and decision making abilities aid in the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of you guys’ relationship; making it so that you two never get bored, upset, or unsatisfied.
The conversations that you two have are heartfelt, interesting, and always honest. He never wants you to keep secrets from him, so why would he keep secrets from you?
Additionally, with him knowing almost everything about anything, he knows all the best places for you guys’ dates as well as the best locations to purchase things from. Which saves you both time and money in the long run (yet another important aspect of a relationship)
And when it comes to getting physical....well, at least you can rest easy knowing all your needs will be satisfied- in the best way possible.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
There’s no doubt that Weyoun is one charismatic Vorta. He was a diplomat for a reason y’know.
The man oozes a suave persona. (Albeit an infuriating one) But it’s one that captures your attention and keeps it over a long period of time. He knows just enough psychological techniques to keep you interested, and is unique enough to get you to keep coming back. And though he may not be an expert when it comes to being in a relationship, the little eccentricities he elicits from you by just being himself brings you back to a time where you were free to be your authentic self. Which is something that is far more lovely than a bouquet of flowers.
(Which is something that he also get you a lot of. what can he say though, you can’t beat the classics)
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
If there is one thing that Weyoun respects, it’s ambition. While in the Dominion, Weyoun was exposed to some of the most driven and ambitious people in the galaxy. They had a goal and would do anything to achieve it.
So if you have goals that you are set on achieving, he is all for helping and supporting you. Even if it means manipulating the system and the people in it to get you there faster.
He just wants to see his lover live their best life :)
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Weyoun, to a fault, is a man of deep caution and habit. Although he gives off the initial impression of being a people pleaser, Weyoun is actually very sceptical of anything that messes with the status quo. Especially when it comes to being vulnerable with another person.
That being said, Weyoun does not require anything new to happen in your relationship to be satisfied with it, but isn’t entirely opposed to any ideas you come up with. You just need to work your way to those ideas in a slow and calculated manner.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
With the amount of lifetimes he had to live, added onto the importance of his job, Weyoun had developed an impressive memory. Which definitely came in handy in you guys’ relationship.
Important dates? Memorised and planned for accordingly every year. Preferred love language? Picked up on and provided 24/7. Favourite foods? Given to you often and bought frequently. Having a bad day? Immediately sensed and dealt with with care.
In summary, this man has the ability to not only the perfect companion and employee, but lover as well.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Having been in no relationships before you, Weyoun puts careful consideration into who he gets involved in. And, as a result of that, he holds his relationships in high regard. You have been with him for as far back as he can remember after boarding Deep Space Nine for the first time. Something that he does not take for granted.
Before defecting, he respected and valued you as much as an associate could. After defecting though, he began to realize that his feelings were much more than just respect and admiration. Instead, he finds that he cannot get through most days without hearing your voice or seeing your face. All in all, your relationship becomes one of the most important things in his life. Even if he’s dying, the only thing that’s on his mind is you. Not his general safety or if he’s gonna be okay, but YOU.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
When it comes to public displays of affection, Weyoun is 50/50. If you two are in a relatively private area, he is all for slipping his palm into yours; caressing it while he thinks up strategies for new projects and assignments. Affection and flattery is one of his many skills- something that he prides himself for with you. When it comes to public areas though, he is somewhat hesitant. He has made a plethora of enemies through his various lives and it has made him cautious. There is no way to know if they will come after you, but all he knows is that he isn’t willing to take any unnecessary chances.
With friends and acquaintances around though, he is slightly less afraid to praise you and show small bouts of physical affection.
When alone, he gives one-hundred percent in affection. Curling up next to you, cuddling, holding hands, running his fingers through your hair, rubbing your back, literally no form of physical affection is left undone by this man.
His favourite way to show his love though, is cuddling. And while he claims to prefer being the big spoon we all know this man would absolutely melt if you held him.
His favourite position would have to be this one though:
He just feels so loved and appreciated- as if he is finally safe after all the years of stress and paranoia.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Y earning - How will they cope when they're missing their partner?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Although he can maintain a very convincing facade, Weyoun has his occasional slip ups. Which surprises a large sum of people when it happens.
From the time he was still under Dominion rule to the time that he defected, you remained, unwaveringly, by his side. And when that sense of security and stability is taken away, he tended to get excessively antsy.
To cope, he reminisces over the photos and videos you took together and by calling you whenever you are able.
The poor boy just misses you so much and mopes around your shared quarters until you return.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Once given a chance to experience what being in a real, healthy relationship is like, Weyoun would not be that willing to give it up. Give you up. He’s lied, cheated, manipulated, and killed for less. So imagine what he’s like for the person that he’d risk dying for?
All in all, there are no depths that Weyoun wouldn’t stoop to in order to maintain your relationship together. Nothing left to say.
Do you think federation officers with bad taste have tattoos of inspirational quotes in klingon or something ?
cursed to love 90s movies and blessed to have an absolutely flawless Max Grodénchik radar. Paused apollo 13 in front of my family so I could point at 3 pixels on the screen and say "rom. Rom is here everyone."
I think it hits extra hard if he was trans to begin with and Jules was already his chosen name. Because imagine being forced to have your chosen name essentially become your second dead name not because you chose another but because someone, your parents who you trusted, took it from you and killed it.
personally i do think julian bashir is trans, but not in a way that sublimates his genetic alterations into a trans allegory. i think he's disabled and trans at the same time, but i think his rebellion against his parents--the symbolic death of his old self with the name change--that's not about gender, for him, at all.
it's about the incredible violation of autonomy he experienced as a disabled person under the knife of a eugenicist society. it's about the need to reclaim some, any, of the agency that was so completely stolen from him by his parents.
it's about discovering that his entire self was deconstructed and reconstructed, without his knowledge or consent, for the express purpose of being less of a burden on his parents.
because let's not forget that the death of julian's old self was not his decision. it was his parents who killed the old self and created a new one.
let's not forget that human society in star trek is still recovering from the eugenics wars--that just because it's post-scarcity doesn't mean it's a utopia.
let's not forget the multiple episodes where bashir is forced to confront the fact that his "success story" is truthfully a gross reminder of how deeply his society (and his family) hates disabled people, not only shown in how they tried to fix him, but also in the fact that the process so rarely works as intended, yet is still done anyway--and the failures and the ones too far gone to save are locked away! with no connection to general society, and only the bare minimum provision for their physical needs, with no privacy and no autonomy!
and let's not forget that julian sees these people and is torn between the empathy he has for them, and his urge to fix them. and he goes through with this urge on Sarina, "fixing" her to conform to his idea of what she ought to be, treating her as a problem to be solved, objectifying her via "my ideal woman was trapped in this disabled body/mind and i saved her," thus continuing the cycle of violence, because even he can't conceive of a world where the disabled do not need to be fixed. where the violence done to him was wrong. fuck man
Honestly they could have odo on lower decks or some animated short without having to recast him. They could just edit in various grunts from already existing audio. No words, no dialogue just "harumpf". I wouldn't even notice.
Yes, but for the other two it's a kind of "haha what the fuck that's horrible lol" and with geordi it's just "what the fuck that's horrible"
For your consideration.
Incorrect. Morn lingerie rights.
Definitely one of my worst memes. Enjoy.
Thanks to @bussyplease for that amazing template (original).
Ok but consider: this could work both ways! Julian recognising Garak's stitching/technique on a recently fixed piece of clothing or fabric. I also don't know when this would take place or why and how Julian would get his hands on something garak patched up or what stitching would be as recognisable as surgery techniques but the idea won't let me go.
listening to the a stitch in time audiobook has me deep in the garashir trenches again and I'm thinking about my favorite mash episode where hawkeye goes to battalion aid and everyone is wondering if he's dead and they can't get through to find out and then bj recognizes his stitches on a patient so they know he's alive
anyway idk when or where it would take place but I am rotating the idea in my mind and may come back to it
Crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy who also assassinated her grandfather 😭
I love ziyal cringe-fail moments. crushing on her deadbeat dad's gay middle-aged enemy. dropping out of art school. admitting collaborating with the enemy and getting herself killed. girl what were you doing 😭
Made an impulse purchase. Going back tomorrow to buy the big enterprise with money I don't have because there is something wrong with me.
You know you're in for some grade a goo man shenanigans when there's a random rat having way too much focus put on it.
