I guess quark would have an anyerism of the lobes if he knew I got his book free from the library

I'll let Odo tell him. As a treat. On his mudday

Like they say, just scroll on past

There are certain ships that show up on my dash over and over that I do not and never will ship. Because of my interests and who I follow, this is always going to be the case but fortunately none of them squick me out, they just make me go “Really? You can picture that?” This goes for Trek as well as a few other fandoms, although there are few enough fandoms I know well enough to even know who the characters are, because I just don’t watch TV shows.

I will say, though, that even though there are some ships I don’t get, wow, I am very impressed with some of the art. Especially K/S (erm, Spirk just sounds too funny to me) stuff, whatever the style. I’m like, “I don’t believe in that, but wow!” I guess like how I react to art in historic churches? :) It’s testament to the power of fandom, of devotion, what beautiful things people can create.

Data and Bashir get to know each other a little more intimately

Not Garashir but want to recommend this recent fic. Set during the Star Trek: TNG episode “Birthright,” this is written as a missing scene/plot element and definitely a way too much for TV. Though it’s short and in a way, perfunctory, I found it charming, especially as Data’s voice is so well captured. I guess I really like the way they go about it -- Data’s attitude sort of sets the tone and Julian goes with it. 

Excerpt

"Doctor, I cannot fail to notice that you are looking at me frequently."

"Oh," Julian flushed slightly and returned his gaze to the port. "I apologize. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Obviously, I'm a bit fascinated by you."

"I am incapable of being uncomfortable, Doctor"

"Ah, that's….good"

"I have also noticed that you smile frequently at me. You also walk and stand slightly closer to me than is conventional"

"Oh…I….ah…" Julian laughed self-consciously, "I can be a little enthusiastic sometimes. Some people find me a bit…annoying, I'm told."

"I am also incapable of being annoyed."

"That's fortunate" Julian smiled broadly at Data.

Data tipped his head in a friendly nod and they both resumed looking through the viewport.

"I am told," Data said after a few moments, "that I can be annoying, as well. I am told that I talk excessively and that I ask too many questions."

"Oh, that sounds very familiar," Julian replied warmly. "Well, I assure you that I am happy to hear anything that you have to say and would be glad to answer any questions, should you have them."

"In that case, I am curious on one point, Doctor. I know that I am sometimes of interest on a technological front. I am used to that type of scrutiny from people I meet. Your interest seems different. I have made it a point to study human behavior and interactions."

"Oh," Julian feigned nonchalance, "different in what way?"

"From what I have observed, I am wondering if there is romantic or sexual interest on your part."

Julian stuttered out a non-response, flustered.

"I am sorry if I have…made you uncomfortable."

quark comes from a mysoganistic male dominated culture, he probably has had romantic friendship with men before that existed under a guise of "we actually hate each other and are constantly trying to one-up one another and we see each other in a world of pretending and we trust one another despite the risk". ykno. it's wartime.

i'm calling it gay but not like romantic.

Thinking about the Complete Accident of Garashir; Andy’s lack of how to play this damn scene? The attraction to his costar. The Flowers on the Table. The Blue of Julian’s Shoulders. The language of Flirting by Argument. Shoulders being an apparent Erogenous Zone!

This subtle sprinkling of rain turned into a Lightening Storm.

Apparently I’ve reblogged 250 posts this past 2 days, so imma take a break. have fun with my garashir catalogue. I’ll be journaling and seeing where my brain takes me with making content.
