Best qualities: his spins and his jauntiness

'he would not fucking say that' maybe he would if he knew he was starring in his very own porn fic for the sole purpose of delighting some freaks on archive of our own dot org. maybe he'd play it up for the cameras. ever consider that

Losing my mind like. Garak approaches Bashir for the first time and he's being really creepy about it and Julian looks very taken aback, so naturally you assume he's freaked out - and then he runs into the command room like "he talked to meeeee ♡♡♡ he made contact with meeee ♡♡♡ do you think he's going to spy on me PLEASE say he's going to spy on me" and then next time he meets Garak he's like "hello ;) ;) ;)" and it turns out that wasn't terror that was horniness

My headcanon is that those colourful nutrient cubes in star trek are actually the first attempt at food replication, where they got the nutrients and taste correct but the shape, texture and colours were wrong. So those nutrient cubes would taste like a chicken nugget but look like a blue cube with the texture of apples or something. And when they finally figured out how to make actual food, they just kept those cubes because some people have nostalgia from eating those weird flavour cubes while serving on a starship with a prototype-replicator.

A thing that I made that I thought was funny

I never got how past TOS every Star Trek writer seems to treat the Prime Directive as some sort of sacred edict rather than the anti imperialist screed it actually is. TOS was made in the Cold War where Russia, the USA, and other countries were basically playing tug of war with smaller countries to their detriment, so writer Gene L. Coon came up with the idea that Starfleet should not do that, that civilizations should be allowed to develop on their own without being used as catspaws by more powerful entities.

The problem is that somewhere along the line this got lost and it turned into “these people are all going to die but saving them would violate the Prime Directive”. Like yeah you should save people from dying, just don’t do it in a way that makes them your client state!

Some sw fans will look you in the eye and tell you that the boring warrior people are more interesting and fun than literal wizards with laser swords.

Guys stop.

Jedi and Mandos are both cool

Extreme low quality Odo

[coldlygoing]

People are way too mean to Jake Sisko about his outfits :(( his fuckass outfits are one of the best parts of the whole show. Seeing non starfleet federation citizens. Seeing futuristic fashion. Having fun with colours and patterns. Seeing his fashion sense change from a child to an adult. He has more fashion sense than any of the muted militarised "something you could find in abercrombie and fitch" ass outfits of modern trek shows. Where is your zest for life, where is your idealism? Only Quark has more drip.

the only time it was actually funny and entertaining when a "ship" was "confirmed" by someone who worked on the show was when someone asked rene auberjonois at a panel what the nature of quark and odo's relationship was and he replied "sexual." without elaboration

Captain’s Log, April 5th, 2063. The voyage of the Phoenix was a success, again. The alien ship detected the warp signature and is on its way to rendezvous with history.

funniest reply to being asked why you made someone fight their boss to the death thirty seconds ago

Committing to the bit so hard you actually start thinking all the technology on the set is real
