HOWDY BASIL IT WAS YOU??? AHHHH THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THE ENCOURAGING ANON AND FOR YOUR EXCEPTIONALLY SWEET WORDS ON MY MAXWELL ART, I LOVE YOU ROYAL 😭😭😭😭✨💜👑✨💜👑✨💜👑
I wanted to also come ask what are some of kira nerys' favorite topics of discussion?? Does she ever get excited about things? Please think of her running around trying to find you to tell you things she's learned, out of breath because she just HAD to share it with you and also her excited grin when you find something you want to share with her✨💜
(also you're so sweet ;--; fun fact about sharks- out of the ~400 species that exist, 40% of them lay eggs inside what's commonly called a "mermaid's purse"! They're purses with treasure inside i guess :'))
YOU ARE SO SO WELCOME!!!!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PIECES OF ART THAT YOU'VE DONE RECENTLY!!!
aren't there several species of sharks that give live birth? i think nurse sharks are one of those, but i don't remember. i would love to listen to you talk about sharks for a few hours, there's so much that i could learn!
ooh i love this question because kira is such a busy, driven person that it's hard to sit down and be like, "well, what does she do besides her job? what does she like besides her work?"
i think she loves bajoran history & culture. that might be low hanging fruit, but it's easy to imagine her running to ayzra and telling them about pottery found in an archeological dig, or how there's an art gallery opening on bajor that she think ayzra would like, or how she finally found a recording of the song she mentioned a week ago.
she definitely takes a lot of pride in her culture, in her heritage, and i think that's fantastic, especially following something like the cardassian occupation. it's fantastic to see people so unashamed of who they are and to take pride in the fact that, after those 50 odd years, they prevailed. they won. they came out of it. nerys, especially, deserves to be proud, as someone who did things she wasn't proud of in order to come out of that.
i think she also LOVES telling ayzra about bajoran religion. she's very, very religious and her faith is incredibly important to her, and ayzra is more than happy to sit and listen and learn. they have a basic understanding, as a cultural anthropologist who knew they'd be stationed near bajor and did all the learning they could, but it's much more fun to sit there and listen to your girlfriend recite her favourite prophesies and tell you what, exactly, makes her faith so important to her.
she also adores when ayzra talks her ears off about whatever they've been working on or whatever they've learned recently. they definitely collect fun facts throughout the day just to relay them all to nerys at dinner or right before bed. (shrek voice) the real trick is getting him to shut up
