Summary: “On the east coast of the US, there is a small town called Anywhere, where some of our favorite fictional characters keep washing up on the beach, often injured, with no memory of where they came from and who they are, the only clues to their past identities being the clothes they washed up in, their own names, and the strange feelings and dreams they occasionally have. Soon enough, they settle into their new life, but the questions still remain: who were they? And why are they here?”

#the girls are fighting!! STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE • 3.07 “Civil Defense”

Wondering what a interaction between transfem Odo and Quark would be like. Just one day Odo switches up her look and walks into the bar ready to interrogate like usual, only to be mistakenly hit on by Quark from behind. They stare at each other in realization for like 30 seconds of silence. Odo continues her investigation, but she has to deal with Quark's flustered stuttering and him avoiding looking at Odo for the entire conversation.

Something I picked up on while rewatching “Little Green Men” S4:E7

When the humans go to greet the Ferengi and we see that their UT’s aren’t working and they all do the head bangy thing Rom and Nog only do it to one side of their head with one hand while Quark uses both hands and hits both sides of his head/both his ears

And when we turn and see the humans copying them all the men copy Rom and Nog and only use one hand, but the lady copy’s Quark and uses both her hands, and only later when Quark switches to use just one hand does she follow and they all use one hand.

Again later in the episode the nurse and her fiancée have a conversation about the three of them possibly being family. They correctly identify Rom and Nog as being father and son but then she points out that Quark could be the mother to which he immediately agrees, switches pronouns, and calls Quark out saying, “If she is the mother, she’s quite a shrew.”

Idk if I had a genuine point to all this aside from a shout out to this legend of a couple and specifically nurse Garland for recognizing the pure feminine energy radiating off of Quark at all times.

Side note: Love that she absolutely clocks Quark's “My hero” moment towards Odo with that look on her face, meanwhile her fiancé is just freaking out trying to wrap his mind around whatever the hell Odo is in the background

First Lady Weyoun of Cardassia Headcanons Because I Can't Get Him Out of My Head

Very Stylish, always keeps up to date with the latest fashion trends and tries his best to get Damar to wear some designer

Continuing with that line of thinking, he attends a lot of fashion shows, art galleries, concerts and really anything artsy. Small or big he's gonna be there to support the artists.

Sets up charity funds for struggling artists, musicians, designers etc. and uses his legal powers to meet his favourite performers and fanboy out

It’s the worst kept secret on Cardassia that Weyoun writes all of Damar’s diplomatic speeches for him

Pretty much always attends any formal or government dinner and practically drags a reluctant Damar along for the reason of “keeping the legate's good public image”

Damar relents and goes but only because he knows that it was technically his fault that the photo of them making out behind the bar at the last dinner blew up

Probably released his own makeup brand that probably bombed at some point

A PRO at dodging unwanted QNA questions, I mean it was literally his job since birth

On particularly stressful days for Damar, Weyoun will let him lie-down and use his soft fluffy tail as a head rest/pillow

Similarly, if Damar notices Weyoun overworking himself he’ll give him a scratch behind his ears which usually relaxes him pretty quickly

If you really think about it Julian’s the one, who has it easy if they ever get married. He won't have to go to Garak’s parents asking for permission to marry their son, and technically Garak doesn’t either, but Garak does have the challenge of trying to convince everyone in ops to let him marry their doctor. Imagine having to go on a bunch of side quests to get each of your partner's coworkers blessing and even after all that The Benjamin Sisko is your final boss. Tougher done than said.

Quarks be like:

NON-freaks dni. This is a freaks only zone

Based on these wonderful calculations done here I’ve started translating every transaction of latinum mentioned in the show and so I’m re-watching S6: E12 “Who Mourns For Morn?” And they mention that Morn’s net worth is 1000 bricks and so I calculated and that translates to-

$80,000,000 USD / $128,022,532 AUD!?

MORN!? HELLO!?!?

Concept of Julian Bashir on Cardassia working in hospitals and constantly having like 12 Cardassian babies hanging off of him for the heat that he radiates. Then he goes to pick up dinner after work from a local restaurant and the cashier’s hand lingers when handing him back his food and just kinda holds his hand for a long time marvelling at his warmth. Then he goes home to his lizard man husband who attaches himself like an invasive species as they lie in bed to fall asleep together. Julian Bashir is content.

I choose to believe that S4E12 "Crossfire" was an entire episode about Odo learning to move on from Kira and fully accept his homosexual relationship with Quark. I mean that final soft scene between them....c'mon already man

Who was gonna tell me that Quark quite literally propositioned himself to Odo during their first ever meeting. I’m watching S2E8: Necessary Evil and by god that Ferengi is dickmitized

“Listen, I feel you and I…we’ve gotten off to a bad start here. Let me make it up to you. You need anything? A little Ginger tea? No, you don’t drink. Um…chocolate? Maybe, uh, companionship?”

Word for word I swear I’ve heard Quark make that same offer a million times to other women in his bar, king of using his body to get out of bad situations

Okay I’m asking the real questions here:

You guys ever think that Odo sometimes gets cuteness aggression with Quark? Like he's just "detaining" him one day and wraps his goo-appendage arms around Quark and squeezes him so tight that Quark literally cannot breathe. It's okay though because Quark just thinks that one of two things are happening, 1. Odo's finally killing him for real this time or 2. Odo's just really weird and bad at BDSM

I think the formula for my favourite ships are Person A whose pretty chill guy about everything and is just going about life and Person B is just an obsessive freak who has probably a list of the full names and ages of all of Person A's ex-partners

NOTHING fucks me up more than “has it ever occurred to you that i might be getting exactly what i deserve?” “nobody deserves this.” garak is trying so hard to punish himself and be disgusting and unlovable and julian just says “no, actually, i will love you anyway, i will love you despite your pain, i will love you despite the lies you tell me, i will love you no matter what” i will ALWAYS go crazy for that

AHHHH "rejoined" X chappel roan, LETS GOOOO

star trek: deep space nine s4e05 "rejoined" / "good luck, babe!" by chappell roan

everyone clap and say hooray for my lesbian awakeninggg

Maybe it's a good thing garak hasn't been born yet, he'd be fuming at the state of modern fashion.

The trill will always be the coolest and most underused concept in star trek to me, Like we learn so much about symbotites and their communications with the host, the processs etc.

But what about the culture? The history? The turmoil or struggles a trill may go through after adding like 5+ centuries of new memories to their arena.... HELLO?

Yk what? Just drop your trill hcs in the notes, I always enjoy those.

Haven’t reblogged yet this year so better late than never

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

help i can’t stop making these

Mmpphh

-incoherent babbling-

List of Star Trek species who know about baseball due to Captain Benjamin Sisko

Prophets: Sisko used baseball to explain the concept of linear time to them.

Ferengi: Quark learned about baseball to examine potential business opportunities.

Unidentified imagination aliens: One of them took the form of a baseball player based on Sisko’s interests.

Trill: Dax is an old friend of Sisko’s, they probably learned about it during life as Curzon, then definitely learned about it as Jadzia.

Cardassian: Possibly. I’m assuming that during the Dominion occupation of DS9, Gul Dukat at least took thirty seconds to learn what the baseball was for.

Vorta: If Gul Dukat bothered to learn, he probably rambled about it to Weyoun while drunk. If not, all Vorta field commanders are required to read Sisko’s psychographic profile. Baseball is in that thing somewhere.

Jem’Hadar: Guards were present during the exchange of an antique baseball card which Jake Sisko wanted to procure for his father.

Bajoran: Kira accompanied Sisko to a holosuite game, later learned to play when brought in by Sisko for his team.

Klingon: Through Worf, same circumstances as Kira.

Vulcan: Captain Solok and at least a team’s worth of his Vulcan crew learned the game in order to play against the Niners.

Changelings: Odo learned the rules in order to be the umpire, that knowledge would’ve been transferred to Laas and later the rest of the Founders when he returned to them. Every Founder now knows how to play baseball in excessive detail.

Because of Sisko, baseball knowledge extends across the galaxy and beyond the boundaries of time.

Some days you find yourself illustrating venerable Irish actor and Star Trek alumnus Colm Meaney, and affixing him to an ancient meme.

Today, for me, is one of those days.

Anyone know what happened to @awkwardtrekphotos?

Pfp:

I’m a big fan of the blog and I can’t access the blog, is it deleted or something?

@awkwardtrekphotos

Why the fuck have I never seen anyone talk about this unreleased scene, where Quark and Odo kiss!?

Luthor Sloan is watching you sleep.

This is so fucking cool

Doing Sisko in the style of an Eastern Orthodox Icon painting because recent events have got me thinking about that type of thing
