2x17 - Playing God

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.

I had to see what Tain looked like with Kingpin shape. Tain the unit. Oh! When he died did anyone think he look he was melting?

i think if you asked harry kim if he was attracted to men he’d be like “maybe but i’ve got too much other shit going on to worry about that right now”. if you asked tom paris if he was attracted to men he’d clench his jaw and stare off into the distance for a long moment before being like “… no”

STRANGE NEW WORLDS ― S3 TEASER TRAILER P1

Some examples of Cardassian civilian clothing from the It’s A Wrap! auction archive. I decided to only include the costumes of one-off characters and extras that it can be hard to find good pictures of. Although these photos are quite bright, they capture the cuts and fabrics fairly well. I have included the lot numbers to make it possible to look up the corresponding entries on the website.

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

Julian's daydream ✨️

NSFW under the cut

Julian thinks a lot about what Garak hides under those tunics. For entirely medical purposes...

I had to draw the gay stegosaurus

Things My (non-trekkie) Friend Has Called Garak So Far:

“dinosaur boy”

“crocodile husband”

“gecko”

“GACK”

“that gay stegosaurus”

“the fuckin.. flamboyant bearded dragon you keep talking about”

“Julian!” (pause) “wait no that’s the boyfriend”

“Geordi right?”

“one of your spocks, the lizard one”

+human names but the first letter is replaced with a G, i.e. “Gatthew” “Gimothy” “Gackary” etc

“Gary”
