Constable-blorbo - Star Trek Blogging

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

just found some new Nog lore...

Edit: it appears this is an excerpt from Strange New Worlds, Volume 3, an anthology of fan written Trek short stories, which was titled “The Bottom Line”

some more linework-focused stuff for u. love graphic style lines. perfect for comics.

coloring is so stupid hard bros. balancing a color palette with balancing the values with managing the overall composition including light and shadow and themes and aesthetics and stylistic choices and brush techniques and

send garak / garashir requests in askbox if you dare

I really want Seven and Odo to be friends and bond over the difficulties of constantly imitating humanoid body language and following social rules  

Absolutely transcendent move from Star Trek to write a shapeshifter character who's kind of bad at it. You're like, "oh so he can impersonate other characters?" and they're like no he's not very good at faces :(

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.

ds9 season 7 episode 4 take me out to the holosuite is like yes we’re in the middle of the dominion war but enough about all that. it’s time you all learn the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of space station baseball

wanted to draw something quick as a break from all the notquick stuff i'm working on :-)

this is my 1st publicly posted kiraodo so let the record show that they're lesbians to me

– You don't know what any of this is about, do you? You work here, you see these people every day, how they live, and you just don't get it. – What do you want me to say? That I feel for them? That they got a bad break? What good would it do? – It'd be a start.
