How Does It Feel? I Don't Know, I...

even in the future, cats really like interrupting your work (featuring the obscene number of tablets they use in star trek because i find it so funny)

Ok heart eyes emoji for new ds9 fans forever -- but now you're in the lurch and wanting more!! There were great comments about Stitch in Time and other post-canon works from cast members but I'd also highly recommend the post-canon DS9 novels in general beyond Stitch in Time. Memory Beta has very clear listings and some titles are available on Internet Archive.

For stuff beyond DS9, there's oodles of Star Treks (which I love) but if you want a space station I'd recommend trying Babylon 5 (you can skip to season 2). It's a different world -- more capitalistic, a lil more nasty -- and there was controversy over similarities between B5 and DS9, but the tones and settings feel radically different to me.

noted about the post-canon novels!! stitch in time was ABSOLUTELY already on my library holds waitlist, but that's great to know I can get some of them on internet archive...

and I've been eyeing babylon 5, I know Jessie Gender's been doing some watchthroughs of it. tbh tng was my home trek from years ago, and I think now that I've wrapped ds9 i wanna tackle voyager while I'm still in the groove so I can say I've done the tng/ds9/voy trilogy!!! plus I want to Lower Decks but I know since it's so predicated on references, there'll be even more to love if I do voy first!!

and hi ty for inbox sliding c:

“Which fictional universe would you rather live in—“ Star Trek. Star Trek. There is a correct answer and it’s Star Trek. “I want to have cool adventures—“ Star Trek. “I want to live in high tech but ethical peace and comfort” Star Trek. “I want to be a psychic alien—“ Star Trek. “But I want to do magic—“ do you know how much weird magic shit happens in Star Trek. Also Star Trek has holodecks you can pretend to be in Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or whatever and then come home to your usually peaceful interstellar community. There are basically no downsides to living in the Star Trek universe if you take the assumption that you remain you, a human living on Earth. You can join Starfleet or you can stay home and enjoy fully automated luxury gay space communism. The answer is Star Trek.

Something about garak and bashir growing in convergence so much so they end up diverging. Healer and ex spy respectively turned spy and healer of a nation. In order to find the things in ourselves which have been ignored or snuffed out all we need to do is find someone who exemplifies them, who can see them buried deep inside of us. Only then can we recognize that it is not only okay to invite that part of our personhood back into our lives and psyche. But that it was always a strength. It always served us. We just didnt know how to wield it.

The only daxshir dynamic I accept

oh i hear ya, i’ve sewn professionally, I know about these guys. but see that’s exactly thing though– we basically only ever see him using the invisible laser gun, on fabric he is holding in his HAND! handheld stitchers are like, extremely limited in what they can actually do compared to a machine (and cutting table, and iron, etc) It’s just SO funny that star trek’s idea of future sewing was like, well one guy on the station gets a handheld magic gun that does everything 😌

(I bet it presses seams somehow too….)

changed my url. @/simpletailoring was great but I really want us to focus on the important stuff: the stupid fucking gun my favorite lizard uses to sew

what is that. there's literally no way it's actually stitching. what do y'all think this thing doing is please tell me

usamericans do you realise that a stereotype we have about u is that you really really love ice. like the amount of ice you put in your drinks and all your ice machines are really silly to us. do your fridges genuinely produce ice????

bashir: I like human mystery novels :/ The trouble with cardassian enigma tales is that they all end the same way, all the suspects are always guilty

garak: yes!! but the challenge is determining exactly who is guilty of what!

hey elim garak, I have amazing news for you about the hit game series “phoenix wright: ace attorney”
