Quark Ds9 - Blog Posts

Wondering what a interaction between transfem Odo and Quark would be like. Just one day Odo switches up her look and walks into the bar ready to interrogate like usual, only to be mistakenly hit on by Quark from behind. They stare at each other in realization for like 30 seconds of silence. Odo continues her investigation, but she has to deal with Quark's flustered stuttering and him avoiding looking at Odo for the entire conversation.

Something I picked up on while rewatching “Little Green Men” S4:E7

When the humans go to greet the Ferengi and we see that their UT’s aren’t working and they all do the head bangy thing Rom and Nog only do it to one side of their head with one hand while Quark uses both hands and hits both sides of his head/both his ears

And when we turn and see the humans copying them all the men copy Rom and Nog and only use one hand, but the lady copy’s Quark and uses both her hands, and only later when Quark switches to use just one hand does she follow and they all use one hand.

Again later in the episode the nurse and her fiancée have a conversation about the three of them possibly being family. They correctly identify Rom and Nog as being father and son but then she points out that Quark could be the mother to which he immediately agrees, switches pronouns, and calls Quark out saying, “If she is the mother, she’s quite a shrew.”

Idk if I had a genuine point to all this aside from a shout out to this legend of a couple and specifically nurse Garland for recognizing the pure feminine energy radiating off of Quark at all times.

Side note: Love that she absolutely clocks Quark's “My hero” moment towards Odo with that look on her face, meanwhile her fiancé is just freaking out trying to wrap his mind around whatever the hell Odo is in the background

NON-freaks dni. This is a freaks only zone

Based on these wonderful calculations done here I’ve started translating every transaction of latinum mentioned in the show and so I’m re-watching S6: E12 “Who Mourns For Morn?” And they mention that Morn’s net worth is 1000 bricks and so I calculated and that translates to-

$80,000,000 USD / $128,022,532 AUD!?

MORN!? HELLO!?!?

I choose to believe that S4E12 "Crossfire" was an entire episode about Odo learning to move on from Kira and fully accept his homosexual relationship with Quark. I mean that final soft scene between them....c'mon already man

Who was gonna tell me that Quark quite literally propositioned himself to Odo during their first ever meeting. I’m watching S2E8: Necessary Evil and by god that Ferengi is dickmitized

“Listen, I feel you and I…we’ve gotten off to a bad start here. Let me make it up to you. You need anything? A little Ginger tea? No, you don’t drink. Um…chocolate? Maybe, uh, companionship?”

Word for word I swear I’ve heard Quark make that same offer a million times to other women in his bar, king of using his body to get out of bad situations

Love constantly witnessing new ds9 fans have the revelation that quark's outfits are actually fire and deserve to be studied and appreciated like fine art

So, since its canon that Odo reads shitty romance novels do you think that one day like Julian recommends him pride & prejudice and he goes and reads it. Has a realization. And then doesn't interact with Quark for like a week. shhhh leave him alone let the goo man figure out the complex enemies to lover's relationship he's in with The Worst Option Possible™

You guys ever think that Odo sometimes gets cuteness aggression with Quark? Like he's just "detaining" him one day and wraps his goo-appendage arms around Quark and squeezes him so tight that Quark literally cannot breathe. It's okay though because Quark just thinks that one of two things are happening, 1. Odo's finally killing him for real this time or 2. Odo's just really weird and bad at BDSM

One of my personal favourite quodo headcanons is that when news gets around ds9 that they’re finally together-together as in, an actual real couple, everyone assumes that they have already boned like a bajillion times

Everyone on the station is like “Those two r a couple? Oh yeah, that goo man who has so much repressed energy that it comes out as an intense obsession for a little goblin sex freak who runs the bar and said goblin sex freak? They must have the kinkiest of sex, doing all types of weird roleplays and shit in the bedroom.”

And then by pure accident like a full year into their relationship Quark lets it slip to Jadzia at one of their bestie sleepovers that he and Odo have never done anything beyond making out and Dax is like “😦” and then she lets it slip to a bunch of other people and their all like “😦”

I think the formula for my favourite ships are Person A whose pretty chill guy about everything and is just going about life and Person B is just an obsessive freak who has probably a list of the full names and ages of all of Person A's ex-partners

Can we talk about how in S3E7 Civil Defense there was literally no reason for Quark to stay with Odo. “This is the safest place on the whole station, I’m staying right here.” bitch you just wanna be with your boyfriend stfu

And omg later in another scene when Odo takes Quark’s phaser away because he might hurt himself and then they have their little heart to heart and Odo tells Quark he’s the most devious Ferengi he’s ever met, and Quark goes genuine for a moment: “Thank you Odo…. that means a lot to me.” And then immediately follows that up by leaning closer to him and asking all softly with puppy dog eyes: “Now, ...Can I have my phaser back?” BRO HE’S ALMOST WHIMPERING THAT LINE OUT ISTG-
