Ignoring The Meta Nature Of This Question.

mortifying

There’s a post about how we need more female characters who genuinely care about people but are really bad at caregiving, and honestly that fits Kira Nerys really well. I’m thinking of Starship Down where she’s tasked with looking after Sisko and keeping him conscious when he has a head injury, and she just starts visibly flailing despite making an effort to hold it together. “Listen up…. because there’s going to be a test later” and then trying to keep him alert by droning on about duty rosters because she gets Task-Oriented when things are in dire straits and does not know how to scale things to a more personal level with someone she has a working relationship with.

Like, so much of how she deals with emotionally fraught situations is by getting up and doing something about them (even so far as traveling back in time) or just keeping busy to avoid dwelling on the matter at hand. When her father was dying, her response was to go out and kill some Cardassians about it, and then order another attack upon his death, rather than sit by his bedside. When Bareil died (pre-resurrection via mad scientist noodling) she went right back to work despite Bashir telling her she didn’t have to. It is a trauma mindset from someone who witnessed a lot of death and suffering and had no choice but to pick up and keep moving and keep fighting. And when she has to sit down and really focus on someone else’s vulnerability, it’s very uncomfortable for her. She cares very deeply about the people around her but she’s clumsy about it.

EXPLAIN THIS IMAGE? WHAT? WELL - I think baby harnesses are hilarious. AND ADORABLE? BUT MOSTLY HILARIOUS. 

also as previously explained I like the idea of Odo being a super gung-ho dad. Odo brings this baby around EVERYWHERE. It makes everyone kind of uncomfortable. What do you want me to do, leave it playing around the bizarre vaguely sexual jungle gym that occupies most of my room??? HMPH

Quark is wondering if the baby harness is a harness or an extension of Odo’s terrifying goobody. Quark is wondering if the baby is A PLOY TO RUIN HIM FINANCIALLY. 

and Morn’s there because I just realized I’ve never bothered drawing him before. WHICH IS CRIMINAL, BECAUSE MORN IS FUN TO DRAW

i love you and your ridiculous puffy musclesuit, Morn

kukalaka, i love you

Feel like Odo would spend his entire life telling people that he never collects keepsakes and never puts any decorations up, but one day one of the Bajoran children on DS9 would give him a slightly crumpled piece of paper with a scribbled drawing of them and Odo together. And he would act grateful but very nonchalant about it, being like “this is very nice of you, but I have no need for it”, until Kira or Quark or someone walks into his office and sees it on the corner of his desk, with a little frame around it

New favourite DS9 moment (S4 E3 "Hippocratic Oath")

This is maybe the funniest DS9 meme I've come across and I'd love to be proven wrong

Look we all want very badly for the new Star Trek series to be good, but if the first season isn’t super weird and kind of crappy, then is it even a real Star Trek series?

star trek edits be upon ye. i wanted a seven of nine wallpaper and couldnt find one to my tastes and then things got out of hand
