Another day another @fanartfrenzy, this time graphic design in honor of @the-last-dillpickle's stellar DS9 fic, Wretched Little Things. (for sure read the tags before reading).

The sensory description of this was so vivid and combined physical and emotional distress so well together that they were utterly intertwined-- for the main character himself, as well as the reader. The reader really gets to wonder-- what's causing Julian's sickness? Subterfuge? Guilt?

I like the element of uncertainty it also casts around Sisko. Did he mean for Julian to be willing to get this involved when he gave him his directions? Did Julian over-interpret and thinks he's doing what he's supposed to, but Sisko would be horrified at knowing? (trying to stay vague to avoid spoilers)

I'm utterly loving this challenge, as it's getting me to revisit some of my favorite fics, discover new ones, and hopefully get fic authors to really feel the appreciation others have for the wonderful (wicked, silly, sweet, despairing) worlds they create.

Being an Eridian scientist has to be so funny. You train your entire life as a biologist, becoming specialized in your field, probably giving lectures or educational speeches to other Eridians, and then the star savior Rocky comes home with his weird pet dog. Your job is now to cultivate food so the weird dog who is the age of average baby doesn’t die. The dog also saved the stars. Your job is making dog food out of the dog. You also learn that you and the dog have the same job. You are the happiest scientist on Erid.

The dog knows more about how the universe works than anybody else on your planet. The dog understands how relativity works and how the universe began. The dog has access to complex machines that can store and process massive amounts of information, launching your society into a new age of scientific and technological advancement.

You later find out that these machines were originally invented because the dog's species has a memory like a sieve and struggles with primary school level maths.

Deep Space 9 really had the best time travel episodes of any Star Trek. It had the disturbingly close portrayal of the 2020s, Quark's family causing the Roswell Incident, and the senior staff sneaking onto Kirk's Enterprise where they promptly get in a bar fight (and also prevent the Enterprise from exploding). No one was doing it like DS9.

PSA:

"Deconstruction" does not (necessarily) mean "Adding a bunch of sex and violence and drug use and suicide to a work to make it grimdark"; it means, essentially, "foregrounding the implicit contradictions in a work by making them explicit in the text to showcase and critique their ideology in the wider culture."

So, for example "Watchmen" was deconstructive because superhero comics up to that point had, by and large, not really interrogated their own role with respect to things like the military-industrial complex or the rather sordid real-life history of vigilantism in the United States or the sexual psychology of an individual dressing up in (essentially) bondage gear and going out to beat people up on the street. The sex and the violence serve a thematic purpose. It doesn't become more deconstructive by adding *more* sex and violence to it; it depends on what was in (or left out of) the original work.

That's why the best superhero deconstruction in the last 20 years was Lego Batman.
