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)
i just hope from the bottom of my heart that rick berman is having a terrible time
been thinking about this nonstop. garashir isn’t like spirk where the characters have gradually transcended their original grounding in shatner and nimoy– julian and garak ARE sid and andy. they have been so instrumental and so generous to this fandom, I could cry knowing they finally got to do this. I could cry knowing THEY got to come back as these characters, THEY got to be the ones writing the canon.
not to be morbid but andy is 82 and im so glad they did this now. even if it wasn't literally prime universe canon or 'real' julian or whatever, im just so glad they did this while they still can.
finishing my first ever watch through of ds9 tonight (on the last three episodes) and I just... I don’t want it to end. I want more ;;
the only good news is after tonight I can dive all the way into the fandom without spoiler dodging o7
”you can just make an oc” you dont understand anything. the character needs to mutate naturally until unrecognizable. like all evolutionary processes it takes time. you can’t force it or it doesn’t take. you must endure weird ooc thematically discordant versions of a guy until they bud off into beautiful new life. have patience
