My favorite thing about Chief O'Brien is he's absolutely Not. Just some guy. Like not even a little. He's the reason this station is up and running he fixes every problem and is very intelligent but he doesn't want to be distinguished Starfleet Officer man. He just wants to be some guy. He went to DS9 bc he knew no one would care if he excelled there, he could be properly challenged and prevent the station from blowing up all while clocking out at 5pm and going home to his beautiful wife and children except for his weekly boys night with Julian. His universe said oh a man of your talents could definitely go down in history and he said "🤚absolutely not ✋ I'm gonna use my self-sealing stembolts to stop my silly little warp core breaches, get paid, raise my family, and then die. That's it." And that's so valid of him.

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

that´s blatant the Hero of Setlik III erasure .....   still very much valid indeed ;D

[softboysoong]

the most unrealistic thing in all of star trek is that beverly and every other senior crew member did not immediately think data pushing her overboard was hilarious and a huge step forward in data understanding and participating in humor appropriate to the moment and instead of geordi saying ‘i’d avoid sickbay for a few days if i were you’ beverly laughed the whole way back up the ladder and told data ‘proud of u baby’ and that is where the tng films branched off into an alternate timeline. i’m right about this.

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

THIS! This bugged me ever since I saw this and I´m not over it, it´s frustrating and it´s vaguely infuriating .. and every now and then it makes me question the characters like aren´t they supposed to be intelligent, to have character ... it sure didn´t seem like it in this scene, maybe there isn´t all that much to them .. but really it´s just insufferable writing   also related to this .. just how they treated Reginald Barclay, seeing how the protagonists acted made me feel really alienated

[sporkandpringles]

Why is the DS9 Sick Bay carpeted? Who thought this was a good idea?

[fishpillowses]

The Cardassian design choices when making the station were overall so baffling. The tripping hazard / wheelchair inaccessible lips in the doorways. The balcony you can fall off extremely easily. The hard beds. And yes the carpeted sickbay

[aurora-nova-fic]

I have no explanation for the carpeted infirmary, but as for the rest, I think Cardassians just don’t care about safety (or disabled accessibility for that matter). It’s basically Darwinism in station design.

[conceptadecency]

Maybe they want people to get static electricity shocks as part of the Darwinism.

[aurora-nova-fic]

Maybe static electricity shocks are healthy for Cardassians. Shuffling around the carpeting infirmary could have therapeutic value.

[conceptadecency]

It’s what makes their hair so thick and lustrous. 

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

this is why the Obsidian Order has extra thick carpet .. it´s for all the secrets

-You didn’t believe all Klingons were soldiers? -I guess I did.

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

THIS is peak Star Trek! And these are wonderful gifs. I really loved that episode, this particular scene especially. TNG gets cookie points for dismantling the bravado about honor and showing how corrupt Klingon politics are but there are 3 peak Star Trek moments that I really love not from TNG and weirdly all of them involve Klingons and this is I think Number 1.  (Second one is when Martok recognizes that Garak´s battle with claustrophobia is strength. The third one momentarily escaped my memory, but I have a list .. somewhere ..a handwritten note ..)

[cryptid-sighting]

[necro-om-nom-nomicon]

Did you know that isn’t Gowron, but actually a different Klingon named “Kavok”? He’s from the “Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game.”

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

I 200% LOVE everything about this .. this is hilarious ... this is perfect .. I don´t even have words ... every time i come across this it´s a whole revelation ....

[homewrecking-lore]

I’m sorry but this? THIS??? THIS is THE look. This is the aesthetic. The close fit around the shoulders and waist? The black streamlining? The angled collar exposing just e n o u g h of the trademark Cardassian neck? The pattern?? THE CRIMSON??? This outfit slayed more than Garak’s career did. This is the outfit that Doctor Julian Bashir remembers as he cries on Keiko and Miles’ couch on Earth after letting this hot number go back to Cardassia alone. This is probably the outfit that Garak wore to seduce jail Dukat’s dad just for the pure drama of it all, and every time Dukat sees it he screams just a bit, and rightly so. I mean, this is it. This is the look. The absolute.

[fishpillowses]

i loved this outfit im glad im not the only one lol 

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

I do very much agree that the cut and silhouette are very flattering, the colour is fantastic and the choice of pattern & fabric is the least offensive ;D  11/10 would also cry on a couch over this  front or back, this is fabulous 360°

always thinking about this promo photo but especially odo just pressing a tribble to his forehead

[sophiaforevs]

I wish Trials and Tribblations had been a two parter. Like, imagine the shenanigans we’re missing out on by not knowing how ds9 dealt with it’s tribble invasion.

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

this could have been sooo good

Wild Old Art I Found On My HardDrive: Babylon 5 Edition

I suspect multiple editions of everything are due.  Worry not.

Here’s some of the stuff from the B5 folder that is just random crack.  Luckily, I remember a lot of the context for this stuff!

Londo and G’Kar arrive on Londo’s planet like

And then somoeone misread my post saying Londo shows up with Narns as Londo shows up with nuns, thus:

G’Kar on a stake out under Londo’s chair.

This is Londo holding Odo’s bucket from DS9?  I know this only because of the file name.  I do not know why.

Sea Pearl Mermaid G’Kar, I think because someone made the fool mistake of mentioning 90s Barbie at the same time as B5 in front of me.

accidentally pocket-sized Londo, as far as I remember.  I just drew a weird frowny Londo on iscribble and then the friend being subjected to it thought he looked Small.   Pocket was added.

G’Kar with a giant lizard tongue

Londo just needed bread, but G’Kar is jazzed up on All Of The Starbucks and he’s going to go fucking wild in this here Target

the song was ‘Starships’ by Nicki Minaj. 

G’Kar eating a Centauri version of one of those always badly formed bubblegum eyeball Popsicle things from an icecream truck that were ubiquitous in the 90s and then of course making a joke about his missing eye after licking a gum ball from the thing’s face and making that unholy smear of colors and sticky horror that resulted

This is all like 2015, haha.  

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

scrolling I thought the mernarn would be the highlight of this post but somehow, and I don´t know how but they do .. the casual shorts steal the show :D  ... also THAT tongue ........  and .. why would I 100% believe it, if someone told me the nun thing happened on the show .. 

[beckettmariner-deactivated20200]

You ever invite your coworker to watch you give birth just to spite a racist

[linguisticparadox]

Okay howmst the fuck has a ship doctor in the far future never handled a birth without the father present? Are sperm donors and gay couples and trans women no longer a thing in the bajillionth century CE?? :/

[thatoldantique]

I while understand the frustration with erasure sometimes it helps to look at things through the cultural context of when something was made. Star Trek the Next Generation was made in 1987, this particular episode I believe aired in 1988 a time when a future where the husband was always present for the birth would have been amazing to many of the people watching the show as men had only been allowed to be present for the birth of their children for 10/15ish years at that point in the US.

Women (and many men) fought for decades with hospitals to even have men allowed in the delivery room during the early stages of labor, which can last for several hours, and hospitals only began to give in to their requests in the 1960s but even then they would be kicked out of the room by hospital staff before the actual birth took place. So many of the couples watching the show would have had to go through labor without having/being allowed to support their spouse regardless of their wishes. Having the child’s father present for the birth only began to happen in the 1970s and 1980s. Which means most people watching this show either went through birth without the support of their spouse, were not allowed to support their spouse during the birth of their child, or their own mother’s went through that during their birth.

A future where the husbands were always present for the birth was still a little crazy to consider in the late 1980s. A good kind of crazy for the people living in that time, it showed a future where the wishes of the couple were finally consistently listened to by medical professionals as a result of the actions of people during their or their parent’s lifetimes. And it does that by also subverting it in allowing Data to step into the role of the father when the father was unknown and/or unwilling/unable to fill that role (I’ll be honest my knowledge of Next Gen is a bit spotty and I have not seen this whole episode, just a piece of it at family Thanksgiving). The woman’s desires as to how she would give birth are listened to and respected, something that still doesn’t happen in many hospitals now and would have been seen as even more revolutionary then. So while it isn’t perfect I think this scene was actually fairly impressive for its time and cultural context and shows a future that many people of that time would have seen as ideal.

[cannon-fannon]

I think this kind of contextual understanding and analysis is really important because things that look antiquated now were revolutionary then. I remember reading that the mini skirts in Star Trek TOS were legot just in fashion (about 64’ ish), one of the actresses (the one that played Rand) requested they be in the show and both her and Nichelle Nichols said they didn’t see them as demeaning but liberating in that time and context. Where as NOW it looks like ‘sexy male gaze’ but then it wasn’t.

[elfwreck]

Miniskirts are comfortable and easy to move in - unlike longer bulkier skirts, which had previously been required for “modesty.” And unlike the approach of “we’ll just put them in pants,” miniskirts made a statement that women crew-members weren’t being treated like men. Miniskirts were a way to say “I can be an attractive woman, wear comfortable clothes, and still look professional and do a serious job.” 

The clothing for that message today would be different. 

[prismatic-bell]

This is also why the bridge crew of TOS may seem “tokenistic” today. When it came out, the Cold War was in full swing and “Soviets” were maligned and hated, Black people could not count on their right to vote being honored, and mixed-race people (like Spock) were called horrible things like “half-breed” and “zebra.” A white man was in charge of the ship, but Gene Roddenberry was fully aware that a chunk of the viewership read him as queer, and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DISCOURAGE THAT READING, at a time when “homosexual activity” was illegal in the United States!

By today’s standards, “one of everything? How tokenistic.” In 1966? “A Black woman, a Russian, a man from multiple cultures, and a man who loves differently, all top of their fields, all working together and finding common ground to learn, grow, and help where they can? What a wonderful future!”

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

context matters & history is a thing and I just love this fandom for coming together and providing information on both 

[fujiwaradivebar]

Reason #1,324,789 of why I love this show.

This was a casual side conversation between Bashir and Sisko about a fellow crew member, completely unrelated to the episode’s plot, and its just so sweet.

It’s nice to know that if you’re a pregnant father-to-be on DS9, your buddies Julian and Miles will build you a hatchling pond, buy you baby clothes, and throw you a shower eagerly attended by the station’s commanding officer (who was practically beaming with joy when he found out that you were expecting).

How wonderful.

[mrsbenevolent]

And they speak of it so casually with no judgement! Love this!

[awfullythick-deactivated2014112]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD. I DID NOT KNOW THIS.

[professorofeljay]

Vilix’pran gets mentioned a couple more times on the show, and we find out that:

A) he buds twice more, and had quadruplets during his second budding and an unspecified number for his third, bringing the total number of babies to between eight and 18

B) Kira says she’ll have to assign him bigger quarters after the third budding

C) and the babies have wings that can get tangled up with each other when they play together

D) AND ALSO that Vilix’pran gets promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant (so clearly Starfleet has some rockin’ maternity/paternity policies and thus parenthood is not an obstacle to career advancement)

The more you know. :D

[theletteraesc]

Well that got exponentially more adorable and awesome quickly.

[fuckyourstupideyebrows]

Trekcore just opened a new gallery full of screencaps of ds9 in hd and this just gives me life

holy sh*t

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

oh wow

[koroa]

apart from the fact I’m in no mood for anything lately I’m still trying to sketch something everyday, it’s a good routine I think… Destron-destroyer made me think about Martok recently (and I CAN’T watch episodes with him anymore, I can quote most of his lines from memory so, well…) but I never draw him before. Klingons are difficult. And G’kar, cause you can never have enough G’kar,right?

[inappropriatefangirlwishes]

omg those are gorgeous
