Thought I’d make some DS9 memes instead of sleeping
“Dead Clade Walking” - a term for animals that are alive but from a functionally extinct species.
concept art 4 a horror comic about the dinosaurs that survived the initial meteor impact and are now living in a sort of last of us/annihilation-esque world
I’ve drawn a few creepy twisty Odos before, but I really wanted to explore what it might’ve been like in the show aand I wanted to draw more Odo being twisty. So this little comic sprung out of that!
This was a fun exercise and I learned a lot while putting it together. Like how much I love drawing Quark.
forgot the tags again thanks for the request
“haha odo is so beige and bland and boring despite being a literal shapeshifter” like ok yes I laugh at those jokes too and find them funny I literally have no issue with them but sometimes I also wanna talk about how that’s kind of the whole point of his character.
like odo’s abilities and way of being is so unlike any other known species in the alpha quadrant that it’s shown to be disturbing and off-putting to a lot of people — or at the very least that’s what he was led to believe. like we see this in the alternate where mora tries to convince him he’ll either be locked up in a prison or put in a zoo to gawk at if he’s perceived to have committed any sort of crime or transgression.
so despite being able to literally become anything he can think of, he chooses his default presentation to be as standard, bland and uninteresting as he possibly can. male, always in a beige uniform, very standard hair cut.
odo is so plain because he was made to be afraid of being literally anything else
Saru and Georgiou be like:
- Be nice and follow orders.
- Fuck you.
And then they "accidentally" save each other’s lives
...
And now I want them to be friends, you know, friends who usually hate each other, but at the same time will kill anyone who dares to hurt one of them.
Ok
They started with a shootout with butterflies
That was fun
Showed us the new president (and I liked her so much already I mean she's like cold and maybe a little bit cynical but at the same time she's a positive character and I LOVE it)
They showed us Saru who is gorgeous as always and his people listen to him
And Su'Kal called him father
And it made me feel so so happy
Saru fully deservs all this love and respect
Oh
And they blew up the planet for dessert
