"Close Yet Far, My Everything."

2 versions of kira

Ignoring the meta nature of this question.

I SURVIVED THE BELL RIOTS

1995 crew gift from the DS9 writers (my friends broke out theirs for our DnD game last weekend). Please consider a gift to a local charity that supports the unhoused and hungry “In Memory of Gabriel Bell” this weekend.

what strikes me about “Far Beyond the Stars” is how they cast Odo as the one who upholds oppression through complacency. because Odo’s been shown to be very beholden to the status quo - he prides himself on his neutrality, sees himself as only being subject to justice and truth. That was the thrust of “Things Past” - he doesn’t feel guilt over collaborating with the Cardassians, but over the fact that he failed at properly exacting justice under the premises of their rule. He tries to be benevolent from within the system, but doesn’t consider the fact that the system itself might be flawed (though he arguably starts to reconsider this at the beginning of S6). So his AU role here made a lot of sense for him, tbh.        

POV: You're on a fetch quest for Kira and you give her a jumja stick instead of the 85645 self sealing stem bolts she asked for, forgetting that she doesn't like them.

After 356 years and seven lifetimes… I still lead with my heart.

[Image description: three gifs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine focusing on Jadzia Dax

Gif 1: Close-up of Jadzia in a TOS uniform, the background is red. Jadzia Dax is written at the bottom in a stylized manner

Gif 2: Various gifs of Jadzia. On the left there's a gif of her in her red wedding dress. On the right, there are two small gifs of her, in the first one she looks upset, but she is laughing in the second one. Below is a close-up of her blue eyes. The last gif is at the bottom and shows her sitting on the Captain's chair of the Defiant during combat.

Gif 3: two merged gifs of Jadzia. On the left, she is standing and smiling. On the right, she has her gaze down but looks up as she listens to what's being said to her. At the bottom of the gif, the following quote is written in a stylized manner: "If you want to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been"

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.

Obviously Dukat's continued predation on Bajorans is all flavours of deply fucked up but the moment when he ad-libs the "Ah.... It's a miracle!" when the cultist's child turns out to he half-Cardassian is so absurdly funny. You can see his face fall for one moment when he realizes he fucked up real good this time. When he realizes everyone will see what he did the best that he can come up with is "let's all kill ourselves real quick". A true master of improvisation. Always 10 steps ahead.

Putting this in my wallet like it’s a photo of my wife.
