I saw all these Eu sem Você edits and "I know I'll lose a true love and a good friend" felt so like Dax and Kira

The way Jadzia is the first Starfleet officer Kira starts to let her guard down around.

The way that Ezri picks things up with Kira almost like Jadzia never left, their bond transcending hosts because not only does Dax know Kira is good people but Ezri can see it too.

The way Kira uses the lessons she learned from Jadzia to be more open, let herself experience joy, open herself to new people, to support and stand by Ezri as she becomes her new self, unflinching loyalty even in the shadow of Jadzia’s death.

I am so normal about them

In case I haven’t made it clear I don’t like Jezri because it comes across as Julian pursuing Ezri solely for a second chance at Jadzia and only superficially because of Ezri herself. Yes I do ship Ezrys but Kira was like, patient with Ezri, and gave her space to get to know herself, and wasn’t constantly thinking about how she used to pine over Jadzia in every interaction they have. And you know what this is kind of Quark’s fault to for reminding Julian at the most awkward moment. I’m not unsympathetic to Julian, his general weirdness with relationships clearly comes from a general struggle to connect, I don’t think he’s a bad person and emotionally it’s understandable that he would take his second shot at the girl who got away. But that doesn’t mean it was gonna work out. And that’s ok, because Julian and Ezri do have a genuine enough connection that they could easily remain friends as exes and probably be better at supporting each other after it’s over. We see it with Julian and Leeta, and Ezri and Worf. Those are strong lasting friendships that can persist past not being lovers anymore and that’s awesome.

For Ezri’s part in the relationship, we see clearly that everyone who mattered to Jadzia does matter to her, independently. It isn’t just the worm. She has assessed those memories and interacted with these people on her own and come to the conclusion “these are MY friends to.”

We see it with Ben, Kira, Leeta, Rom, Julian before the romance, Worf after they fuck and get it out of their system. She’s not a helpless little baby who dated Julian because she was filtering Jadzia feels and didn’t know who she was, he clearly had some kind of appeal, probably in that he was a dork like her and a major change from being with someone as intense as Worf, who she clearly did not love the same way Jadzia did. Totally makes sense, totally her choice. And it always felt like Jadzia never went for Bashir because she was waiting for him to grow up, and season 7 Bashir definitely has, so the part of it does that come from Jadzia makes sense to.

But as much as Bashir has generally matured as a person over the course of the series, his handling of himself in relationships really hasn’t. He’s better at starting romantic conversations and initiating relationships than he was in season 1, but he never gets better at keeping them. Melora, Sarina, shying away from taking things further with Garak until life pulls them apart. Ezri is an extremely kind person but her patience is not infinite, and while she is a counselor, I don’t think she likes her romantic partners to be projects the way Jadzia sort of did. She didn’t have the patience for trying to pull Worf further from his macho Klingon chauvinism the way Jadzia continuously had to, she just bluntly told him that she wasn’t into it and his empire was a joke. Her dates are not her patients, and good, that’s how it should be, she shouldn’t have to take on that emotional labor.

But Julian needs a therapist. Ezri will not be both. At the least, he needs someone who gets him on a very deep level it’s arguable that only Garak does. Likewise, Ezri needs someone who gets her and likes her for her. Kira can offer that, I think if they met Lenara would be able to offer that. Leeta would be able to offer that if she wasn’t in a presumably monogamous marriage.

But Julian can’t. He’s too hung up on Jadzia.

And sooner or later, Ezri is just going to tell him that to his face.

I’m gonna say it

I think “if Worf hadn’t come along it would’ve been you” was Jadzia and Ezri both sparing Julian’s feelings.

Ezri thought dating him was a good idea at the time, Jadzia felt bad for not giving him a chance, and they wanted him to feel good about it

In reality, if it wasn’t for Worf she would’ve finally gotten serious with Nerys or go find Lenara and reassociate like crazy (Ezri will also do this after the inevitable breakup with Julian, possibly both when she realizes she’s poly)

Yes yes it was the 90s they couldn’t really do either of these at the time but in the version of the show in my head this is true
