WRITERS!!! WRITERS IM BEGGING YOU!!!! STOP MAKING JULIAN LOVE-SICK OVER JADZIA SHE’S BEEN WITH WORF SINCE LAST SEASON AND IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP UNTIL THE LAST FEW EPISODES IT’S TAKING AWAY FROM ALL OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT WITH EACH OTHER WHY ARE THE STRAIGHTS LIKE THIS??? DO THEY NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN CHARACTERS DO THEY NOT CONSIDER THAT THERE’S MORE THAN FUCKING ROMANCE TO KEEP BONDS BETWEEN PEOPLE TOGETHER DO THEY ONLY KNOW LIKE... ONE PERSON AND IT’S THEIR SPOUSE????

(on that note I am dreading Ezri/Julian, I know it’s coming and I don’t want it)

#like was said a couple of days ago #the straights really cannot comprehend men and women being friends #(for that matter they cant comprehend that jadzia and womanhood is an entirely different concept and would be really interesting #written from a queer perspective but IT'S FINE)#(people who think that queerness is an *extra*#to text - esp in scifi - really dont understand how identities and relationship-definitions shifting is key to human development)#one day i may go on a further rant about the general importance of queerness in scifi #(and also heavily touch upon the fact that a. a bunch of the actors openly read their own characters as queer and b.#they'd already WRITTEN queer text they just didn't realise because they were so unbearably not-queer)#anyway all of this is why i don't trust people judging me/others for reading characters as queer in some way #a dearth of cishet characters is NOT the issue here #ds9 #st: ds9 #julian bashir #oh and also that if you DONT explore gender and relationship dynamics then you're not looking to the future - arguably star trek is #more behind the times than when it was made... the 90s was far more obviously queer than 400 years in the future is what #the writers apparently want us to think #same goes for disco which is just parroting the tamest queer politics from 5-10yrs ago #be forward thinking dammit!!!#the tags are an entirely different entity than the post
