I Haven't Seen Most Of Voyager, Must Less This Particular Episode. But Based On The First Picture I Saw

In my defense your honor I had really good music on and it made me want to do something evil

I just wanna say I am LIVID with Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig for this 😤

I'm one of those lesbian who had a yaoi/mlm obsession as a teenager (embarassing, but also both hilarious and validating that this is a whole thing?), and y'know I thought I got over that and could try to be a half-normal person?

Y'know I went into Star Trek fully aware of it's gay communist tendencies, but y'know I thought I'd be safe (I watched Voyager when I was a kid and I'm convinced it's at least 30% why I'm as gay as I am). After re-watching Voyager and watching the Next Generation (I know weird order), I decide to naturally give Deep Space Nine a try.

And then HERE COMES THESE TWO.

I'm on AO3 again.

I made a playlist.

I HATE how obsessed I am with them.

They're so perfect 😭💖

And then Lower Decks (with Andy and Sid of course) basically says "their love transcends the boundaries of space and time."

Obviously congratulations to the OG shippers of this pair.

But I'm still pissed

Honestly, Julian, you're exaggerating. O'Brien can't be a day over 38.

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

Station of ill repute

Kira: Prime minister Shakaar is not the father.

Dukat: (⚆ᗝ⚆) Then who is?!

Kira: Chief O'Brien.

Dukat: (;° ロ°)

Dukat: Benjamin! Chief O'Brien– a married man – fathered major's baby?! You run a station of ill repute here!

Sisko: *slaps him* That was for calling me Benjamin.

Dukat: (˃̶᷄︿๏） Sisko: Besides, Chief had very little say in it. It was mainly Dr. Bashir who did the job on major. And of course Mrs. O'Brien was involved, too.

Dukat: (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Sisko: What's with you?

Dukat: (ಥ﹏ಥ) Just how do I join this station of ill repute?!
