I don’t really get why people are so critical of the Vezda for being portrayed as inherently evil or evil personified when DS9 did basically the same thing with the pah-wraiths

I wish Gul Dukat a very Eternal Suffering In The Fire Caves

I hope the Pah-Wraiths are subjecting him to unimaginable agony for failing them

I can’t tell you how hard it is to stop myself from rewriting every pop song with words to make it about Star Trek: Deep Space 9 

I’m not in the trenches I’m in the fire caves and it’s not the brain worms it’s the pah-wraiths but either way HELP

"The Reckoning" (S06E21, Stardate UNKNOWN) is a solid return to Bajor's spirotual roots. We get a jealous Kai, political posturing, the Prophets and a battle with a Pah-Wraith. And in all of this we get to witness just how strong Ben's faith in the Pophets has grown since his first days on DS9.

My episode poster for is a Prophet-powered Kira. It was going to include a pah-wraith powered Jake, but that was getting too busy.

Hyrule first contact

So I just had a brainwave about an idea I've had on the backburner for a while now: a Star trek/Zelda crossover heavily inspired by the TNG episode First Contact.

(The basic plot of the episode is: a race of humanoids have developed warp-capable technology. The federation shows up to them as a courtesy gesture, basically going "hey, you've got warp! Nice! Just a heads up that there's a lot of stuff out there and we are one of the nicer groups you're going to encounter. Here's a heads up about a bunch of things you should maybe be aware of". And of course, shenanigans ensue)

My thought is: The planet Hyrule is on is in the Gamma quadrant. Sometime post-tears of the kingdom, Zelda and the research teams have developed warp-capacity travel. (Maybe through the rediscovery of some ancient zonai or sheikah tech) (I haven't finished the game yet so please don't mention spoilers I will be very sad!!)

Throughout the development of this warp capacity travel, the Federation takes notice. There's some weird-ass energy signals coming from this planet near the wormhole between the alpha and gamma quadrants, and so they do some covert research. Eventually they reveal themselves, cue many excited technobabble conversations between Zelda and the Federation teams.

Fun things about this: Hylia and the Golden Three could be the very same entities as the Prophets. Because the prophets exist outside of time, it would lend itself well to all the time travel shenanigans and strange devices that the gods have left Hyrule (just like Bajor gets the Orbs, Hyrule has Tears, the master sword, etc). Also, could help explain the fractured timeline - the prophets just being like "a linear temporal existence? what is this?"

I also like the idea that they're blissfully ignorant of the Dominion, because the Founders took one look at the cursed shit going down in Hyrule and went "fuck nope. We're the only spooky goop that we want to deal with. DNI with that planet."

Is Demise a pah-wraith??

Think of the shenanigans that could ensue if Gul Dukat ever met Ganondorf.

Bashir and Jadzia getting up to incredible mischief.

Sisko panicking because oh my GOD am I now the Emissary to these people too???? And Zelda being like nah I think that's my job, you're good man.

I might loop in some TNG characters as well just because I wanna see Purah and Robbie losing their entire shit over Data.

Garak being generally impressed by the Sheikah, especially some of the nastier stuff in their history.

Setting would be pre-dominion war.

Anyways that's all I've got for now, we'll see if this thing gets written someday! If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.

I feel like when we finally see Mika’s baby, it’s gonna be half-cardassian, “as the pah-wraiths willed it” or some bs that furthers Dukat’s control over the Bajorans there. I’m really hoping it’s not, but honestly I can’t put anything past Dukat right now. Especially since couples already need permission to procreate as it is.
