quark if you lay one orange finger on jadzia i will reach through the screen and kill you myself

she has 300 years of experience, don’t try to beat her in anything ever

i love how she isn’t taking the sexist bullshit

is quark getting drugged rn

what kind of magic thirst-inducing pill is this

wtf does the grand nagus want with quark now

time to introduce capitalism to the gamma quadrant!

did the nagus just snort space coke. is that a normal thing to do before a meeting

get his ass kira

zek that’s a lesbian

that’s a fuckton of nitrate

ferengi don’t do gifts i don’t think

benjamin sisko the man that you are

so the grand plan to make money is just wine? that seems deceptively simple

tulaberriessss

i want to drink smth out of a crazy straw now. haven’t done that in like 15 years

rom stop firing pel

rom: et tu, quark?

pel’s got a solid room here

zek if you touch kira again i’ll kill you before she can

interesting gamma quadrant aliens we’ve got here

is that face paint or are they just like that

damn pel is kickass

what kind of alien is zek’s servant guy anyway

how fucking tall is that actor. terry farrell is like six feet tall and he towers over her

oh god is zek trying to charm kira

everything she is saying about ferengi is correct. jadzia you should care more about misogyny

i don’t think kira should have to have fun with a bunch of sexist assholes actually!

100k vats is not happening. that simply cannot happen.

pel what is your brilliant plan to get those 100k vats

ok that quark bedroom anecdote is just creepy

jadzia: tf do you mean you’re a woman i thought you were just gay

pel please do not get with quark. pel you can do better. pel please

kira needs to kill zek

what in god’s name is their plan for 100k vats. do they have a plan

i wonder if maybe zek’s just trying to test quark or smth

what is odo doing now

odo’s hatred of quark is comical i love him

oh god rom what are you planning

oh god oh fuck

oh lord rom’s gonna mess everything up for my new favorite ferengi

why do these aliens keep attacking each other

“you are starting to annoy me” yeah he’s quark that’s what he does

wtf did quark just do

i wouldn’t be surprised if they just didn’t have 100k vats

tf is pel doing

why won’t she let him sleep

girl you can do so much better than him. you would be so much better off without him

yep i was right! there aren’t 100k vats

what the fuck is the dominion

quark has decided that that whole kiss thing never happened. he has his priorities in order

i would very much like to know the secrets of the dominion

but what’s the percentage? .01%?

quark passing out when he finds out pel is female is hilarious

pel please. pel take the latinum and leave.

i hope pel has a great time in the gamma quadrant

What’s ninos relationship like with the rest of the bounty hunter crew plus any add ons in your lore :)

ahhh love this questionnn thank u <3

Mako : i think Mako's first impression of Nino was like ohh she's cool and kinda scary looking... we will win. and then saw her carry someone's boxes for no reason whatsoever and got like... Oh no. she's even worse than me.. we're going to die. inside does appreciate her kind heart even though she also thinks Nino needs to be a lot more cunning if they're meant to win!!! they are best friends.

Gault : i think Gault is both annoyed at and fond of Nino. Yes she does get in the way of his plans but he also knows she'd come to save him if anything happened as he said later on she's one of 2 favourite ladies so you can see them chilling and enjoying a bottle of wine

Blizz : Mako and Nino both find him sooo cute and unknowingly can be condescending at times but I don't think it bothers Blizz, and he likes them both a lot!!! Nino ofc respects that Blizz knows his thing as someone who can barely use a vending machine. she's like *o* watching him work ( actually this is her @ Mako too)

Torian : WELL.......... :) tldr I believe he really fell in love at first sight as for Nino it was a slow thing and if Torian had responded to any of her early exaggerated flirtations she'd likely not have fallen in love? she was kind of like...testing the grounds. Let's see if you ll jump the first willing woman way lol ( never said she doesn't have her flaws xd) but other than that they have similar hobbies and personalities like both soft-spoken and calm and would rather camp than find a hotel etc also it helps that Nino can't even make ice while Torian well - u know

Skadge : Honestly Nino accepts him into the crew as 'canon fodder' lol like the first thing to sacrifice if things go south or this person to take during dangerous missions bc whatever lol and while they'd never be friends, she understands that they had different lives and experiences that shaped them. He kind of brings an aggressive side to her which is admittedly necessary in their field of business.

Treek : i think they understand each other the most out of anyone being from very alien cultures that value many different things than themselves in their self-imposed exiles. While I can't say they are best friends in the traditional sense they are very close, like.... family.

Gosaikunda Trek: A Comedy of Errors (And Some Nice Views)

By Michal Lenden

Let me start by saying this: if you ever feel like your life is too easy, just go trekking in Nepal. Better yet, drag your friends along so they can suffer with you.

That’s exactly what I did.

I, Michal Lenden (a person who once thought "walking uphill for days sounds fun"), convinced my equally delusional friends—Mille, Ben, and Thomas—to join me on the Gosaikunda Trek. Spoiler: We lived. But not without trauma.

The Beginning: False Confidence and Jeeps That Hate You

Our journey started in Kathmandu, where we naively piled into a jeep bound for Dhunche. Seven hours. Seven. Hours. Of what can only be described as a mechanical bull ride disguised as a road. At one point, I was airborne, and not in a fun way. Mille, ever the optimist, cheerfully announced, "This is character-building!" while Ben white-knuckled the seat and Thomas, the human golden retriever of our group, grinned like this was the best day of his life.

By the time we reached Dhunche, my spine had more twists than a pretzel. But hey, at least the hotel had beds. Sort of.

The Trek: Where "Uphill" Became a Four-Letter Word

The next morning, fueled by questionable tea and sheer willpower, we started walking. And by walking,  I mean climbing. Relentlessly.Within minutes, my lungs staged a protest. "We didn’t sign up for this!" they wheezed. Thomas, of course,  bounded ahead like a mountain goat on espresso, leaving the rest of us to question our life choices. Mille kept saying, "It’s not that bad!" while visibly dying inside. Ben distracted himself by taking approximately 4,000 photos of the same mountain.At some point, I turned to Ben and gasped, "Remind me why we’re doing this?" He paused, considered, then said, "Instagram." Fair.

Altitude: Nature’s Way of Humiliating You

As we climbed higher, the air got thinner, and my dignity evaporated. Every step felt like wading through syrup while wearing a backpack full of bricks. At one point, I genuinely considered crawling. Then, finally—finally—we saw it. Gosaikunda Lake. Glittering. Serene. Mocking us with its beauty. We collapsed by the shore, a pathetic heap of exhaustion and accomplishment. Mille tried to meditate but gave up because "the ground is cold and my legs don’t work." Ben continued his photography obsession. Thomas, because he’s a monster, did push-ups. Push-ups. At 4,380 meters. I hate him.

The Descent: Knees Are Overrated Anyway

You’d think going down would be easier. You’d be wrong. My knees made noises that belonged in a horror movie. Every step was a negotiation: "If you just get me to the bottom, I swear I’ll never do this again." (This was a lie. I’ll probably do it again.) By the time we stumbled back into Dhunche, we were a mess of blisters, sweat, and questionable body odor. We celebrated with dal bhat—because nothing says "I survived" like unlimited carbs—and reflected on our shared trauma.

So… Was It Worth It?

Yes.

Would I do it again? Ask me when my legs stop screaming at me.

Gosaikunda was equal parts breathtaking and brutal—a test of friendship, endurance, and how many times you can say "I’m fine" through gritted teeth before someone calls your bluff.

To anyone thinking of doing this trek: Do it. But maybe train first. And bring chocolate. Lots of chocolate.Pro tip: if you want to go trek in Nepal don’t miss to go Nepal mountain adventure. This is the best trekking company in Nepal, the accommodation is best, and the facilities are good. I was going with the other company before, but the trek accommodation and facilities are not good as much I think but when I go with Nepal mountain adventure my imagination got matc
