If I was a race of goo people bent on controlling the galaxy I too would clone a race of evil little advisors to strut around gayly and be annoying
I'm painting all of DS9's main characters (+ some others) in my sketchbook ( because I want to look at them whenever possible) and so far all of them look sort of not good, but I really like how Garak turned out :) Also, I've started listening to ASIT, but I get really embarrassed listening to it for some reason, so let's hope I can push through that.
Julian Bashir meeting an alternate universe version of himself who still goes by Jules. Jules doesn't fake eye contact as well as Julian. When he speaks, it's mostly in short direct sentences, as few words and as to the point as possible. He can still ramble for an hour on a topic he's passionate about though.
Julian realising in slow horror that Jules is also a doctor. Jules also works for Starfleet. Jules is also stationed on DS9. Jules is friends with his own Garak, who thinks he is delightful and intelligent and interesting. Jules is still friends with a Miles O'Brien who thinks he is a little weird and off putting but will fist fight anyone who talks bad about him. They still play darts and racquetball, though Jules isn't quite as good, he and Miles still treat each other as friendly rivals.
Jules, who is still a diligent and dedicated professional, who takes pride in his work as a doctor, and whose parents were arrested and charged before he ever set foot on Adigeon Prime. Jules, who mended Kukalaka and continued to stitch him up for years to come just like Julian.
The slowly dawning horror Julian has at realising that this is who he might have been, and that Jules is, in fact, fine. He wasn't top of his class, but he's still a damn good doctor. He can't work for three days straight without sleeping, but he's no less dedicated. He's not as physically adept, but he's doing fine. He's loved. He's fulfilled. He's happy.
Julian Bashir isn't sure how any of that is making him feel about himself at all, nor does he know why he finds himself crying himself to sleep that night.
it’s so charming to me that julian is mostly normal and goofy around people but around garak’s powerful homosexual intrigue proximity radius he he becomes hayes code silver screen dandy. Come now my dear mr. garak
I love it when people ask shit like “Which world would you rather live in? Star Trek or Star Wars?” When like, Star Trek takes place in a world where mankind has erradicated diseases and war and explore space to make contact with new civilizations, and in Star Wars everything is old and dusty and every 20 years a new angry white man murders half the galaxy.
I cannot over-emphasize the degree to which ive been preparing my entire life for this moment @jone-slugger
Yeah, I like star trek! That's the one with Spirk, Kock, boney boy, Nichelle Nichols, Scotland, various women, Oh My, and Russia incarnate, right?
No? Do you mean the one with french Shakespeare, Mr bi, Data, Ms bi, Dr milf, her son, and Worf?
Still no??? Hmm, what about, Cpt Jesus, repressed lesbian, a literal worm, Worf, Dr twink, Traumatized, Cop, Capitalist, and Morn?
There's something so charming about a stack of PADDs in star trek because you know tablets didn't exist yet back then but they didn't want to use paper because it's not futuristic enough but they also want to show that they have a lot of paperwork to do thus the stack of PADDs which presumably was like a hybrid of stack of paper + floppy disks of the future. The retrofuterism of it all, I love it.
just wanted to see him on his knees, really. funny how i can just draw anything and nobody can stop me
some of the 1 trillion kiras odos and kiraodos in my sketchbook right now. + dax julian 1ea
if your girl looks at you with surprise and delight as you transform from a bird back to a human (ish) shape and you regale her with how it felt to fly, that’s not your girlfriend. that’s odo’s girlfriend
kira & odo asleep that turned into a textures and brushes experiment page. well i think it is still cutes
I love when a DS9 character gets stuck in a situation with Dukat where they have to work together and then Dukat thinks they're friends now and at the end he's like "so glad we're cool now" and the other person looks at him like he's insane and is like "bro I fucking hate you" it's so great to see him put down over and over
Bajoran clapping is superior. It allows you to clap for longer without hurting your palms because you can alternate back and forth.
And Quark there is doing the Ferengi clap, which is otherwise known as sending an invoice.
Odo said he'd always felt an unshakable intrinsic sense of justice, so inherent that it must be a trait of his species as a whole, making it the one thing he could trust, the one thing he knew about himself: that he is just, that there are others like him who are also just. But when he meets the other changelings, he realizes he was wrong, that they don't care for justice. "I've devoted my life to the pursuit of justice, but justice means nothing to you, does it?". The other changeling replies to him that "it is not justice you desire, Odo, but order, the same as we do", leaving there a question. If she is right, then Odo has misunderstood himself completely all his life. If she isn't, then he is different from the people who are supposed to be his equals, his family, his home. This question should tear him apart, but he doesn't hesitate for even a second. He knows the answer, and even if the implications and consequences are bound to be devastating, he replies: "I already have a link... With these people". His family. His home
starfleet ds9 crew: we only have two morally compromising options before us here... what we need is a third option
the third option:
he's like if the trolley problem could be solved by a mentally unwell gay lizard jumping onto the trolley and blowing up the track before it got to the junction where the switch could theoretically happen
Based on Cardassian views on the medical profession (female dominated) and arguing (whore behavior), I think Dukat should have been scandalized to have an alien twink doctor get snippy with him in order to get a blood screening from him.
"And I find you offensive." Okay, here's my arm, man. Whatever you say, beautiful. But I have a wife.
