My Sewing Machine Broke So My Glittery-holographic Julian Bashir Racquetball Outfit Costume Is Sexier

Love that Bashir gives "head empty" vibes on account of "too many thoughts"

A memory of hope

julian bashir stutters !!!

which yknow he was kinda upset about because he felt so dumb to people. he knew he was intelligent, but he just couldn’t articulate it in a way that other people could understand. he always paused during his sentences, letting his words catch up to his thoughts. tripped over words, tongue going to the next syllable before he even got to the first.

and when people hear those pauses and breaks, it’s like they forget about everything else. screw theoretical hyperbolic geometry applications to worldly development, it wouldn’t fucking matter if he mixed the words up.

but, it does hide him. hides him well. because no matter how smart you are, how enhanced or augmented, it doesn’t matter if you have a stutter.

You are dropped in a Star Trek location. Spin this wheel to find out which location and this wheel to find out who you are with.

Paul Wesley gets a lot of shit for not looking much like Shatner’s Kirk (even though he’s got the mannerisms down perfectly), which seems unfair considering he looks exactly like TAS Kirk

When Quark and Grilka went to the infirmary, Grilka was perfectly fine while Quark had a compound fracture of the right radius, two fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons, numerous contusions, bruises and scratches, and when Worf and Jadzia showed up they were both fucked up bad (with Worf maybe a little worse off). When Worf describes Klingon mating rituals in TNG, he describes it like "the woman throws things. The man reads poetry", but clearly when he and Jadzia have sex they're both playing the violent role, but they're doing it in a Klingon way.

What I'm saying is they're having lesbian sex. I've said this before, but they're having lesbian Klingon sex. Jadzia's a little better at Klingon lesbian sex than Worf is, but Worf is still trying.

Peter Morwood

I am so sorry to have to tell you all about this. None of you, I suspect, will ever have any idea how sorry.

I am in utter shock and terrible pain to have to inform everyone that our friend, my dear husband and creative partner of nearly forty years, Peter Morwood, passed away suddenly early this morning after a brief illness that as late as yesterday (when his doctor saw him) had seemed to be on the mend.

I'm not in any position to say much more about this situation now, as you'll understand my current mental state is not up to the task. (I keep expecting to wake up from a bad dream, but it shows no sign of breaking.) I will let people know more about this in coming days.

There will be a postmortem shortly to determine the exact cause of his death. I'll share what details of this are appropriate as they become clear.

Meanwhile in the short term I'm very much going to need assistance with the expenses that in the days that follow will inevitably surround what's happened. For those people who want to assist, please feel free to use the Ko-Fi account here, and simply tag the associated messages, etc, "P expenses". ETA: Please choose the Stripe payment option at Ko-Fi rather than PayPal, as PP seems to be having some kind of obscure difficulties at the moment. I have disconnected PayPal until this is resolved.

My love will wait for me, I know, however long it takes. He's never minded waiting. (the saddest smile) My job now is to make sure he's not forgotten while I go on.

Meanwhile, can I just say to all of of you: I thank you all ahead of time for all the support and fondness for Peter that I know so many of you will express. He'd blush over it, I know. (He always did.) Please forgive me for being unable to do much in the way of answering messages, just now, in the wake of having to get to grips with this sudden and awful change in my world.

But also let me say, so urgently: Hug your loved ones now, while you can. Eventually a day will come when, expected or not, your opportunities end.

Thanks, friends.

hmmmm want to write something about the way Julian's really tactile but also incredibly uncomfortable around touch. because I'm certain the Bashirs would have hated it if Jules was touch-averse and refused their hugs and so that would be another thing to fix on Adigeon. but while Adigeon changed lots of things it didn't make him less uncomfortable, just better at masking...

but then like with friends? with people who he likes and who have sent his trust? he discovers touch can actually be a comforting and good sensation so long as he feels like he can back away from it at any time and the other person will actually let him?

idk there's something incredibly manipulative and possessive about the way that Amsha is constantly reaching out for him and holding him in DBIP and in the aftermath of all that? I just see a Julian who is desperate for comfort from his friends but whose skin recoils at the thought of being touched for a good while after his parents have left the station and maybe he can't even quite put his finger on why. and he's just completely torn between wanting a hug but being entirely unable to accept one.
