I Love It When People Ask Shit Like “Which World Would You Rather Live In? Star Trek Or Star Wars?”

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine // S06E14: One Little Ship

Holosuite date night except it turns into a three-hour lecture on the history of the Cardassian spy fiction genre.

Honestly I just wanted to draw Garak in his Our Man Bashir outfit, and Gracie Anne has had them on my mind lately. <3

@jakeromanoart A FABULOUS piece I commissioned from Jake!

Another thing that occurs to me about Odo, Re: his "inability" to do faces, is that if *I* were a detective who could make myself look like anyone, I might not want that fact to be generally known. And if I were a changeling who resented having to pretend to be humanoid in order to operate in their society, I might do some subtle thing in order to set myself off from them; remind them that I'm not like them.

Anyways, Odo can do faces.

“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

some of the 1 trillion kiras odos and kiraodos in my sketchbook right now. + dax julian 1ea

I just watched ‘Doctor Bashir, I presume?’. Never let me watch another Julian centric episode again I will NOT survive

computer, play cardassian idiot by breen day

I’ve seen a post talking about Deep Space Nine being pre-9/11 show and I’ve never felt that more than Kira talking to Tom Riker and literally going “dude you’re so bad at being a terrorist, you don’t have that dog in you, if I was in your shoes right now I would’ve been murdering everyone I could because I was a an effective terrorist and that’s what an effective terrorist would do”, and it’s not presented as Kira being evil or unhinged, she’s just making a (correct!) observation about the situation.
