We all know DS9 is the superior Trek. But what do you hate the most?

Trying to force Garak to be straight by setting him up with a teenage girl

Bashir as a genetically enhanced human

A few too many O’Brien Must Suffer plots

Odo and Lwaxana Troi

Fridging Jadzia Dax and replacing her with a less-interesting character*

The Pah Wraiths storylines

Too many Mirror episodes

Too many holodeck episodes, too much Vic Fontaine

Worf. Just Worf (especially in episodes like Let He Who Is Without Sin)

Trying to force clearly queer characters to be straight

Something else such as…

Just let me see the results

They couldn't let Geordi in on the "does Data count as a person?" discussion because he would have immediately obliterated anyone arguing he doesn't. Geordi would hear someone try to argue Data's perception isn't real because it's electrical signals or whatever and he'd just be like "so like how my visor works?" and then they'd start backpedaling

[tlirsgender]

Geordi would stand there and make them try to define humanity in a way that excludes Data but doesn't have any weird implications about disabled people and just watch them dig their own graves because they CAN'T. And it just keeps sounding worse

I love Gul Dukat. I love how he tries so hard to be the galaxy's first likeable fascist and utterly fails. I love how he pretends not to notice or remember that everyone hates him, and then his mock shock at being told to fuck off in literally every conversation he has. I love his desperation to prove that fascism isn't so bad if you just stop resisting. I love his smug politeness as if his thinly veiled civility gives him the moral high ground while talking about reprehensible actions and beliefs. I love how earnestly he lies. I love how the more someone hates him the more he needs their respect, which makes him double down on the things that make them hate him. I love that he believes everything he says yet has no principles. I love that instead of giving him a redemption arc the show made him a vessel for Satan.

picard touring ds9: um, do you know you have a cardassian spy pretending to be a tailor on your ship?

sisko: ok first of all, his work is impeccable. second of all, we give him a little intrigue as a treat.

picard: ... don't you think that's a little irresponsible....

sisko: he's fucking our doctor

A trait we don't talk nearly enough about with Quark is that he's a very good cook. It's mentioned all the time- he makes Kai Winn a "Kai Winn" which is a dessert he invented, when someone comes to the station who wants to kill him his instinct is to cook them an elaborate meal, he was a cook before he got Quark's.

Idk- I just really think its a lost piece of his characterization that he's a good cook across a huge variety of different alien preferences.

But what I'm REALLY saying is that we deserved a Sisko v Quark cook-off B plot. I'm forever robbed.

don’t get me wrong i do love dsc and the canon queers but why was star trek like. ok gay and trans people are allowed now but they HAVE to be boring. or like One interesting episode abt them. like. give me gay dude vulcan klingon couple. give me lesbian trill betazoid couple. give me a trans andorian going through 5 different sex changes. give me denobulans with unlimited amounts of spouses they can have with no gender restrictions. give me gay aliens that can’t stand the same temperature or atmosphere or pressure or gravity to they have to have a relationship through regulated bubbles. give me nonbinary alien couple where one species has zero pronouns and zero genders and the other species has dozens of genders and pronouns and they have to figure out how the hell their wedding is going to happen. give me lesbian ferengi communists. give me an aroace orion scientist that figures out how to make her hormones into repelling hormones instead of attracting ones. give me a straight trans couple that switched bodies and is like “no don’t fix it this is great actually”. give me a transporter accident that merges a couple and they decide to stay like that. give me gay planets. make the cloud and the teleporter rock from tos to get together. give me shapeshifter couple that always manages to accidentally find each other. give me lesbian romance between a starfleet captain and a space pirate. give me a triad traveling to different planets trying to get divorced because polyam marriage has been legalized most places but not polyam divorce.

Headcanon that because Data doesn't need to eat he really only uses the replicator in his quarters for spot's food so whenever someone replicates something she thinks it's for her. Geordi gets a cup of coffee in the morning and spot hears the replicator sound and just immediately runs up to him meowing

[tlirsgender]

It's so important to me that spot is an absolute menace and also Data's special little baby. She wants a snack so bad. She demands it

[lorenzobane]

Julian Bashir is such a hilarious character conceptually. What if we took one of the most attractive men you’ve ever seen and give him a series of absolutely deranged character traits? 

He’s got a foot fetish. He’s one of the most beautiful men alive, but TERRIBLE with women. He loves tennis but for some reason only plays racquetball. He’s got a teddy bear named Kukalaka. He’s a genetically augmented super genius and an absolute moron. He tried to skip rocks over a sentient puddle. His best friends on the station are 1.) a Cardassian super spy and assassin who wants to fuck him 2.) an emotionally repressed Irishman and 3.) a worm. When presented with aforementioned Cardassian spy the first thing he does is form a book club. He’s obsessed with LARPing. He has a spy kink. He’s physically incapable of shutting the fuck up. Every time he tries to go to an academic conference he gets kidnapped. His job at DS9 is his first fucking job out of college. 

Like sir…. what?

Being a DS9 fan means that sometimes "an unflinching look at the darkest aspects of colonialism and fascism" and "evil lizard zoom calls his crush at 3AM to announce he fucked her mom once, forcing her to verify this via religious-artifact-induced time travel" happen in the same goddamn episode

au where eberytjings the same but they have to go to five guyd

[pussyhoundspock]

yes it’s very funny that spock has not told kirk or indeed anyone on the enterprise that the ambassador and his wife are his parents but it’s even funnier that spock is famously the only human-vulcan hybrid in existence and yet when kirk meets a famous vulcan-human couple he completely fails to put two and two together 

[mystery-stitch-deactivated20220]

My kitten tried to kill my stuffed tribble. My roommate remarked that my tribble killing cat would make a great Klingon pet… and she’s right.

Imagine a Klingon ship having a cat that protects them from tribbles & vermin. They have to get the cat from a shelter run by humans and they’re like “This is the honorable Mr. Chonks”.

“Yes, our ship also has an earth feline. Her name is Carrot and she fights like a warrior.”

There’s absolutely a Klingon out there who lost an eye to a feral cat that he then adopted.

Klingons who go “pspspspsps” to get the Ship Cat to come hang out during break.

Orange Ship Cat that gets lost in the jeffires tubes and Klingon whose sole job is to go fetch the orange cat. He acts like he hates his job but he actually really adores his feline co-worker so much.

Klingon that always hands things to the Ship Cat so it can sniff it.

Klingon that intentionally grabs boxes to enrich Ship Cat’s little life. Sometimes they get multiple boxes and the crew bets on which box will be deemed “best box” by their fluffy little warrior.

Klingon that starts his work shift saying “Qapla'!” to Ship Cat who meows in return.

Newly Minted Ship Kitten climbing up to a Klingon Captain’s shoulder with her tiny needle claws while said Captain is attempting to be intimidating on the viewscreen.

Klingon who gets a head bunt from Ship Cat and gives it a head bunt back.
