“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
It’s so well written story and it’s absolutely cute and adorable and romantic and... oh, I’m afraid I don’t have so much words in my vocabulary to describe how much I enjoyed it!! Long story short, I LOVE this fanfiction and art with all my heart ♥ ♥ ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IT
hhhhhghhghhghhhhh a lil painty for “so i know you’re alive; in the dim, you’ve arrived” on ao3 :’))))
The man of your dreams, am I right
[Image ID: Fanart of Quark, Kira, and Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. It is a short comic.
Panel 1: Kira Nerys approaches Quark and asks, “What were you doing, Quark?”
Quark responds, “NOTHING.” He is polishing a glass and looks very annoyed.
Panel 2: Odo glances at them with a puzzled expression and says, “I am ‘Nothing.’”
Panel 3: Quark has an anguished expression. He says, “Omg!!! Odo!!! No!!!!!!!!!”
Panel 4: Kira has a placid expression and says, “Haha Quark you are banging my friend”

The way Quark launches himself at the security guard stationed in front of Odo's quarters after finding out the founder hadn't left Odo's quarters in 3 days was the gayest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
Funny, quirky space alien: *breaths*
Me: I love them
