Another thing that occurs to me about Odo, Re: his "inability" to do faces, is that if *I* were a detective who could make myself look like anyone, I might not want that fact to be generally known. And if I were a changeling who resented having to pretend to be humanoid in order to operate in their society, I might do some subtle thing in order to set myself off from them; remind them that I'm not like them.
Anyways, Odo can do faces.
Guess who's getting graded on their DS9 fanart B)
Basically we're all making a board game and if designing game rules, cards, 3d figures, the board and the box doesn't burn the brain rot out of me, nothing might! I wanted to make a strategy board game about the Dominion conflict, however that game already exists, so mine will be simply focused on The Quickening episode, with more characters, more conflict and none of the important moral lessons about being able to save everyone. I'm already rambling about this too much, but those two are part of the role cards (You'll be able to pick between Bashir, O'brien, Dax, Kira and Ekoria, with each of them making some part of gameplay easier). I hope noone gets burnt out haha. Anyway, if anyone read it up to here, do you like the VHS effect or is it better without?
When you have a fictional man who's very good and gentle and compassionate but is also a BDSM sadist and has a lot of guilt and shame and general weird feelings about that... nothing sexier than that in the entire gotdamn universe
no six sentence sunday from me today
had a bad stomach-flu like reaction to some new medication I was taking and am currently watching DS9 while in a brain fog and having feelings about how Lwaxana Troi uses romantic overtures to avoid true intimacy or vulnerability with others and how Kira is such an amazing character whose growth over even just season one is impressive to watch. And remembering how much I enjoy hating Dukat. Honestly he's such a delightful villain because he does have layers and most of them are more arrogance and genocidal condescension.
Seriously, though. Lwaxana clearly uses romantic overtures to build walls around her. We see her do it with Picard, whom she genuinely likes but cannot connect with because she probably doesn't even realize that she's subconsciously protecting herself from suffering more losses by shoving people away. But when she, quite literally, lets her hair down with Odo - whom she initially behaves towards similarly to how she does with Picard - her choice to allow herself to be vulnerable with him in order to help him be more comfortable being vulnerable around her, something he isn't getting a choice in due to their unforeseen circumstances, is actually quite lovely. I know a lot of people don't like Lwaxana or her friendship with Odo but... I actually really adore it.
After 356 years and seven lifetimes… I still lead with my heart.

[Image description: three gifs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine focusing on Jadzia Dax
Gif 1: Close-up of Jadzia in a TOS uniform, the background is red. Jadzia Dax is written at the bottom in a stylized manner
Gif 2: Various gifs of Jadzia. On the left there's a gif of her in her red wedding dress. On the right, there are two small gifs of her, in the first one she looks upset, but she is laughing in the second one. Below is a close-up of her blue eyes. The last gif is at the bottom and shows her sitting on the Captain's chair of the Defiant during combat.
Gif 3: two merged gifs of Jadzia. On the left, she is standing and smiling. On the right, she has her gaze down but looks up as she listens to what's being said to her. At the bottom of the gif, the following quote is written in a stylized manner: "If you want to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been"

Bitch you are the captain of a starship for the USS Enterprise what the fuck do you mean
i love that they had to do a double alternate timeline plot to get canon garashir past the higher-ups (and i’m still impressed that they managed it at all like holy shit) but i bet getting sid and andy, the original actors, to guest star to make this happen was the easiest part. those two were probably the first ones on board. they probably suggested pet names and shit. the absolute legends that are alexander siddig and andrew robinson. no one does it like those two. no one.
I just watched ‘Doctor Bashir, I presume?’. Never let me watch another Julian centric episode again I will NOT survive
o captain my captain

The captain would condone murder, as a treat
The cop is made out of liquid?? (sometimes)
There’s a tailor who’s a spy and also gay
There’s a bisexual-coded doctor
They play baseball at some point
Kira is a major (I’m not sure who Kira is but they are definitely a major)
There’s a ferengi capitalist who runs a bar
Worf is also there

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine // S06E14: One Little Ship
Remember, no matter how badly the Women Characters are being treated on Star Trek, The Women actors behind the scenes are somehow being treated worse!
Following up on my last post it occurs to me I've never posted this hoop I did last year! My fave space station 💕
Edit: didn't think I would get so many notes!! This pattern is from the book Star Trek Cross Stitch by John Lohmann ✨ I got my copy from the library!
