you can’t deny quark has got that shit on

my favorite thing about garak is that he sucks and his life is so miserable and i mean this in the purest form of character writing appreciation and not in like a blorbo way at all. he lived a pathetic and miserable life on cardassia and continues to live a pathetic and miserable life on ds9 as retribution and i think thats awesome. i like that hes the guy we kick when he's already down like over and over again with only minimal reprieve

like i really mean this in a pure way this makes me enjoy garak as a character. he lived a pathetic self-serving morally corrupt life before we as an audience knew him and all for absolutely nothing. doubly so if you run with the idea his job in the obsidian order wasn't even particularly high-profile as he (sometimes) makes it out to be. and now he's a washed up exile on ds9 where nearly every moment of his life is torture. even when he gets to use the espionage skills it's just to be another lackey for people he hates more than his previous employers. THIS IS GOOD STUFF TO ME

Wesley Crusher as a character is just so fascinating to me. He’s a child prodigy genius with no friends. A weird god-like time travelling alien starts stalking him when he’s fifteen. Because of this alien he ends up with a job on the federation’s flagship as a teenager. Over the next four seasons everyone proceeds to act like it’s completely normal that he works there now and no one ever questions the child labour of it all. The only people he’s close to are at minimum twice his age. He got the death penalty for stepping on a flower bed. He got stabbed through the chest and fully died once. His mother leaves him to be raised by their coworkers for a year when he’s just sixteen. He accidentally created new life while doing a science project one time. He technically failed his academy entrance exams twice but Picard still made him a full ensign anyway just because he felt like it. He was at the helm during the Borg attack and has to live with the fact that if they hadn’t found a last minute way out of that shit he would’ve crashed the Enterprise into the Borg ship and killed everyone on board. His last episode as a main before he goes off to the academy is about him nearly dying of dehydration in a cave and the whole time he’s just going “actually, I think I’m the luckiest boy in the whole wide world”. He finally makes some friends his own age and then he accidentally but recklessly helps cause the death of one of them. He participates in a cover-up to try and hide this but then he’s found out, gets held back a year at school and looses pretty much everything he’d been working for since he was fifteen. He burns out, becomes severely depressed and isolates himself from everything. He goes on a stereotype of a Native American Vision Quest, decides to drop out of uni and helps incite an uprising against the federation. It’s at this moment when he’s at his absolute lowest that the aforementioned weird god-like time travelling alien turns up and convinces him to leave behind everything he’s ever known to also become a weird god-like time traveller. This is framed as the correct choice for him to make. I didn’t even list half of the crazy traumatising shit that happened to that boy. About 95% of the stuff that happened to him is never addressed and the other 5% is only ever addressed briefly as they try to convince us that Wesley is fine, actually

#excuse me???#I’ve never watched tng #but I always see these Wesley memes on how unlikable his character is #and then is see posts like this #like #what have they been doing to this poor boy 😭#maybe I should watch tng

i want a gay-coded-villain-coded hero. everything about their aesthetics says that they are evil and gay, but technically speaking their behavior is never anything less than noble and helpful, albeit in a weirdly sinister way.
