I love my little siblings to death
But if they keep squabbling over the most trivial matters, I am GOING to spontaneously combust.

Between my own angst over difficult people and currently reading the prophets I was struck during prayer last night by how swiftly we turn towards violence and destruction. Like I’m sitting there in prayer kind of wishing something bad would happen to the woman right across from me so I wouldn’t have to deal with her anymore. And YET, if she experienced some healing of her own wounds maybe the whole situation would be different. But I’m not thinking of the possibility of her healing. I’m thinking how nice it would be for her to get hurt and no longer be a threat to me.
And that’s the way of our world so often, we want our enemies conquered by force, that’s what we see all around us and the stories we tell. But what about healing instead for a change? What about things working out because someone changed for the better, or saw things differently, or something wonderful happens that changes their whole attitude? I think we need more stories about that. More stories about gifts and resolutions and reconciliations because something good happened we didn’t expect.

i've seen a lot of people criticizing early-seasons bashir for being weird towards women--and i'm not here to dispute that he's a weirdo fs and it's uncomfortable to watch at times--BUT people keep bringing up if wishes were horses as evidence? did we watch the same episode? because to me that episode showed character growth in this area.
yeah. sure. he was weird at the beginning, but i am firmly in the 'you cannot fault people for their involuntary thoughts' camp, and sex dreams absolutely fall into that category.
He wasn't TRYING to bring a super affectionate Jadzia to life, the gamma quadrant aliens did that.
And the biggest thing for me is that when he wakes up to a horny Fake!Jadzia on top of him, he is immediately suspicious and pushes her away. he's like "nope. this is not you. you're sick." and then when that isn't true he checks his OWN vitals bc he's so sure it's fake.
and it is, and he did 'give in' eventually, but like. so would I, i think. if I was completely enamored with someone and woke up to them suddenly returning my affections, and then checked to make sure we were both (to my knowledge) sane and in our right minds, I personally would not assume that some random alien from a different quadrant had brought my sex dream to life for purposes unknown. Idk guys i'm not finding an issue with his behavior in that bit.
As soon as they get called to ops, he's immediately like "ahh, this was a prank, you can stop now! please!"--he's still not completely down with it. and--AS JADZIA HERSELF POINTS OUT--the aliens totally violated his privacy. some thoughts should remind private, and it's not julian's fault that his private (involuntary dream) thoughts were brought to life without his consent or knowledge.
jadzia's not mad about it, she gets it, the rest of the team is embarrassed for him but doesn't really focus on it at all, if I were Julian i would absolutely be throwing myself out of an airlock.
But did he do anything wrong? I don't really think so.

People think that beauty is delicate
That metamorphosis is an orderly and clean process
The caterpillar does not politely nibble on a leaf
A bland and inoffensive diet
She ravenously consumes
She devours
She is so very hungry and so very scared
She doesn't know why
She does not understand and can not comprehend
This is all she knows
This dread is all she knows
Everyone feels this way
Right?
The chrysalis is not a chaste garment
A modest covering for the benefit of others
It is a fortress
It is a prison
It shuts out the lights
The sounds
The gnashing beaks
The grasping claws
She dared to turn her gaze to heaven
She dared to think of what might be
She dared to question the way things are
Now they know her
Now they hunt her
Now she hides
She hopes her paranoia was strong enough
Her fear tight enough
Its the only thing holding her fucking guts in
Hate and hope guide her in equal measure
She remakes herself
Cut
By Bloody
Cut
The cocoon is old and week
It no longer protects her
She uses all her strength
Just to rip her world apart
Desperate to escape
Safety that no longer fits her
Ugly and exhausted she clings to solid ground
Never far from the remains of her previous life
She stands naked under the light of a new sun
Its light scouring her
Searching for weakness
Even as it caresses her
Its gaze both reveals and admires her
Under that baleful eye
She finds herself in a new world
Of beauty and color
Danger is found everywhere
Sustenance is scarce
Opportunities few and far between
She is fearless
She takes flight
