*some dramatic scenario in which odo is relieved to see quark*

Lower Decks really missed a golden opportunity to travel back in time to not The Trouble With Tribbles, but to Trials and Tribble-ations, where live action Boimler and Mariner would've had to avoid not only Kirk's crew, but the copy-pasted crew from Deep Space 9.

Just keep seeing how many layers you can pile on top of the original episode.

DID YOU KNOW the deep space nine writers tried to make a kira/dukat romance arc and the only reason we did not have to endure that is because nana visitor heroically put a stop to it by yelling at the producers. everyone say thank you nana visitor

Not to be dramatic, but JB is all that is keeping me sane rn, so I'm glad I was able to draw him and that after hours spent erasing parts of his face and redrawing them carefully, I actually like it a lot :)

Ok I might've overdone it with the anime princess treatment, but!!!! (I have no defense)((There's bunch of other stuff, but I need to stop nitpicking and go catch those zzz's))

shoutout to @daftmooncretin for the inspo

Kira: Aren't you a woman? Jadzia: I'm Trill so I can't answer that without five historians and an anthropologist present.

have I mentioned in any sort of detail yet how creeped the fuck out I am by the way the Founder(’)s(’) treatment of Odo is just like…. textbook abusive? because it is MASSIVELY DISTURBING to watch, okay.

like. punishing him (for what is almost certainly a hypocritical crime), and then doing the “we forgive you. do you forgive us?” routine. CONSTANT constant “we love you and you’re a part of us and we want you back” talk. isolating him from anybody else because they’re not good enough and can’t give him what he needs and don’t understand him the way the other Founders do? fucking with his sense of time such that he neglects any other responsibilities. simultaneously belittling his reasons for not going back with them, and then acting like they absolutely deeply understand that single reason that they’ve half-made up. questioning and wearing down his stated boundaries about linking.

honestly the most freaky part was when Odo was defending his choice to link with the other Founder to Kira by talking about how he wouldn’t be letting any information slip about the new resistance, because linking isn’t a sharing of information, just like, existence or something. when the Founders had literally used the Link to engage in espionage a season ago by manipulating and planting information while Odo was joined to them. like. YIKES on bikes, massive gaslighting ahoy.

and you know what, in light of all this it kind of makes me… suspect that the purpose of launching marmalade children off into space all on their own isn’t just to gather knowledge to enrich the Link and the changelings’ understanding of the world, but also to create “sleeper agents”, enmeshed in non-Dominion cultures, who will be easily ripe for manipulation by the core population of Founders into betraying their adopted societies and advancing Dominion takeovers of new worlds. because the Founders know that changelings are feared and mistreated by solids. Odo himself certainly hasn’t been run out of town or anything; he has a pretty good position for himself - and even so, his primary caretaker as a child was Dr. Mora, who also was and continues to be abusive and manipulative to him. so his that case is at all typical in terms of who picks up and “raises” these baby changelings, what the Founders have done is basically created a population that comes to them already fucked up by their personal history, and easily vulnerable to re-victimization.

Almost forgot to post this Kira

it IS true that deep space nine is very much in conversation with the next generation and you should probably watch the latter before seeing the former to get everything it's trying to get across, but, on occasion, watching ds9 without having seen tng is extremely funny
