The Contrast Between Jadzia Having All That Angst Over Having Feelings For Her Previous Host's Wife And

did somebody say compulsory heterosexuality bashir??

garashir / good luck babe / garak pov

this is the first thing i've edited in a very long time (i think it may have literally been over ten years), im planning on creating a full length edit with cropping, effects, colouring, etc, eventually, this is just a preview for now tbh

Star Wars fans are so homophobic meanwhile Star Trek fans are finding new and interesting ways for these characters to fuck nasty

My favorite thing about Body Parts (s4e24) is that Garak was obviously never going to kill Quark. He just decides to spend an afternoon in the holosuites demonstrating his terrifying skills for kicks. Then he solemnly promises Quark that he will definitely kill him very soon –

And you never see him again in that episode. He just goes to the Replimat and orders a spice pudding and eats it while reading poetry or something.

quick garak study to get his stupid scaly lizard face right- as prep for fanart >:)

send garak / garashir requests in askbox if you dare

There’s a post about how we need more female characters who genuinely care about people but are really bad at caregiving, and honestly that fits Kira Nerys really well. I’m thinking of Starship Down where she’s tasked with looking after Sisko and keeping him conscious when he has a head injury, and she just starts visibly flailing despite making an effort to hold it together. “Listen up…. because there’s going to be a test later” and then trying to keep him alert by droning on about duty rosters because she gets Task-Oriented when things are in dire straits and does not know how to scale things to a more personal level with someone she has a working relationship with.

Like, so much of how she deals with emotionally fraught situations is by getting up and doing something about them (even so far as traveling back in time) or just keeping busy to avoid dwelling on the matter at hand. When her father was dying, her response was to go out and kill some Cardassians about it, and then order another attack upon his death, rather than sit by his bedside. When Bareil died (pre-resurrection via mad scientist noodling) she went right back to work despite Bashir telling her she didn’t have to. It is a trauma mindset from someone who witnessed a lot of death and suffering and had no choice but to pick up and keep moving and keep fighting. And when she has to sit down and really focus on someone else’s vulnerability, it’s very uncomfortable for her. She cares very deeply about the people around her but she’s clumsy about it.

Not to be dramatic, but JB is all that is keeping me sane rn, so I'm glad I was able to draw him and that after hours spent erasing parts of his face and redrawing them carefully, I actually like it a lot :)

Ok I might've overdone it with the anime princess treatment, but!!!! (I have no defense)((There's bunch of other stuff, but I need to stop nitpicking and go catch those zzz's))

i love lwaxana and odo’s relationship so fucking much. its the kinda thing where i think ‘oh they would have crazy queerplatonic shit going on’ except they do actually have crazy queerplatonic shit going on and it’s happening onscreen

DS9 didn’t have to go this hard with a brilliant illustration of traumatic grief in the first episode

another quark. i just like his attitude

started watching ds9. it’s your problem now
