Did you guys make Garak claustrophobic because you knew how Andy Robinson felt about the makeup?
No. We did that all on our own. I learned (a bit too late for "Heart of Stone") that Nana has claustrophobia, but I didn't know Andy did until I read it online a few months ago.
This happened a few months ago, but I thought I should tell you.
I was watching DS9 with my friend and we were on s3e2 and I mentioned that one could interpret Garak and Bashir's relationship as romantic. They had never even considered this (which was wild to me) and they were in such disbelief that they started looking online to see if there was any fanart because they honestly didn't believe me. They couldn't see them as being anything more than friends. Their stance was staunchly skeptical for a few minutes as they scrolled through dozens of pieces of art until I heard them say "Aw. This one's just called 'A late night debate.'" And I immediately knew which piece they were talking about because I love your art.
Anyway, long story long, your art was so gorgeous, characterized, and well done that it made them see the vision, and I think you deserve to know that.
THANK U SO MUCH THIS IS SO NICE I'M NEVER GONNA RECOVER FROM THIS LORD
This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.
That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:
Hollywood Food Coalition Building Community since 1987 - Hollywood Food Coalition (hofoco.org)
San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals (sfmfoodbank.org)
I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honoring Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.
Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!
