#ds9 patrick

[whatthefoucault]

It’s not quite WIP Wednesday yet, and it’s likely I won’t be posting this particular fic for a longtime, but here’s an entry from my notes app I’m filing under Writing That’s Cheaper Than Therapy because I wanted to revisit the Autism Voltron post-canon and give them a future that feels a lil more hopeful with less Starfleet Ableism. Also, I just love these guys and have way too many thoughts about them

(Sarina’s in the kitchen helping Julian make coffees in a parallel scene I haven’t written yet. As soon as they return to the group, Lauren will ask him how Cardassians make love.)

(This Cardassian in particular? Exceptionally well.)

haven’t seen the rest of the episodes with them yet but good lord I love the augments so much. jack’s vocal stims are going to be incorporated into my own. i love how he leaps around everywhere. i love patrick and how his friends all take him so seriously, never even questioning his intelligence. and deal with Serina, and how they just accept her even though she’s different and can’t talk as much. Lauren is a bit much for me, but that’s okay. like i meet these characters and it’s just like “Wow those are my friends. Like i’m in a discord server with all of these people.” it’s representation of me and people like me (though i’m certainly not at their level of intelligence).

i kind of loathe how the story treats them. but i’m also remind myself that ds9 is a future written thirty years ago. every day i spend taking about my disability, not being afraid of it, spreading education about it, is another day I help make sure the future Statistical Probabilities depicted will never come to pass.

Because it was a crime that Tim Ransom was never in The Lost Boys. Presenting...

Jack: Oh I get it, you want to take all of the credit.

Jack: Mmm change the cosmological constant, yes yes...

Patrick: That'd do the trick!

Intercepted while going to meet the Dominion. Jack looked so nervous the entire time, walking down the hall agitated and uncomfortable, fidgeting with the PADD but so determined to do what he thought was right. Poor Patrick in the background looks like he just saw a ghost when Julian appears.
