Anyone else think the reason ds9 deeply resonates with Queer people is because, at its Heart, its about a third space created but a group of patriotic people fundamentally alienated from their own people. Like obviously garak and quark but consider how were told in the first episode that Kira has been sent there to get her "out of the way" of the civilian government, how the things shes needed to do to both survive and secure their freedom seem deeply uncomfortable to all the civilian leaders. Dax considering both Joran and her eagerness towards reassociation make her basically a non entity on Trill. Bashir takes a while but the augment reveal puts him firmly in this Category. Obriens difficulty with his ptsd and moving passed personal préjudices puts him at odds with a lot of federation ideals. Siskos deep trauma around the loss of his wife and inability to move pass this, makes him very inconvenient to a federation desperate to pass itself off as a Utopia. He then becomes more and more unacceptable as he leans further into his role as in emissary, with the federation seemingly very uncomfortable with this religious expression. Jesus, Worf begins his tenure by getting himself exiled from klingon space.
Like idk, I dont think its all that shocking a Bunch of Queer people most liked the show about having a complicated relationship with your culture and never being allowed to go home.
(Never thought of it that way. I'll just be in the corner crying into my tea...)
if there's one thing the ds9 finale did, it was completely convince me that the only satisfying conclusion to julian bashir's arc would be him eventually ending up on cardassia
a small disclaimer: despite believing in garashir wholeheartedly and adoring the romantic undertones that would accompany julian's moving to cardassia, the narrative elements are the things making me so insane about this, and so convinced there can be no other fate for julian.
the focus on the characters who moved on (sisko, odo, o'brien, worf) made it all the more stark just how unmoored julian is in the wake of this episode, and how much of his connection to the station as home was based on the people around him rather than the physical location. he looks absolutely gutted with each departure and, unlike kira with sisko's baseball, he doesn't really have a moment of acceptance or get to fill a role that was left. in fact, the conversation he does have with ezri just emphasises how, for julian, things are never going to be as good as they used to be.
with this in mind (as well as the likelihood of things calming down professionally for him due to the war being over), it would make much more sense for him to leave the station either after helping with war casualties or staying on for longer. so the question is: where would he go?
"Now I've shot so many Nazis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat." (From his Wikipedia article).
Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger
June 9, 1911-April 27, 1997.
Bunny Roger killed a bunch of Nazis and then invented Capri pants.
He was expelled from Oxford for his indiscrete gayness (discrete gayness being perfectly fine at Oxford and part of the curriculum until...today probably, at least like 1992?). Then, having been sent down to London, he started his own fashion business, and his first client was Vivien Leigh.
Bunny served in WWII, killing fascists in North Africa and Italy, and often wearing a mauve scarf in the field. Roger claimed that he had gone into a battle brandishing a rolled-up copy of VOGUE and commanding: "When in doubt, powder heavily!"
Roger was known in high society for his themed soirées; Diamond, Amethyst, and Flame Balls were held to celebrate his 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays. He wore a curious plum colored catsuit with a feathered headdress at his 70th birthday ball in 1981. At his 80th, he made his entrance in a catsuit of scarlet sequins with a cape of orange organza, greeting his guests from behind a wall of fire. His parties were covered by the newspapers, including a New Year's Eve Fetish Ball where the proper upper class mixed with young guests in rubber S/M gear.
From an obituary: "Beneath his mauve mannerisms, Bunny was stalwart, frank, dependable and undeceived; to onlookers a passing peacock, to intimates, a life enhancer and exemplary friend."
From another obituary:
He served valiantly in every way.
happy 125th birthday to bunny roger

Here’s a few pictures from Severus Snape’s day.
It’s a little about the teaching style, his relationships with colleagues. And my personal question: why do proffesors ask so much homework, if they check it for half a night?

Did any of you notice the Nausicaans playing darts in the background?
S4 E16 Bar Association
Quark: Doesn't that hurt?
Brunt: I'm sure it does. Most Nausicaan games do. Speaking of pain - did you talk to your brother?
Fun fact, those aren't just any background actors; They're James Lomas and Shawn McConnell, real professional darts players who also worked as "dart advisors" on DS9! McConnell even went on to become a professional stuntman in things like Daredevil (2003) and True Detective.
Moral of the story: It's always a worth it to hire highly skilled pros just to have them perform their job as incorrectly as possible, For The Bit™
ID: Brunt is calculating something on his little hand computer as Quark approaches and they talk. In the background, two Nausicans are taking turns throwing darts literally into each other's chests. The one looks down at his chest and pulls a dart out to throw back at the other

"He called Lily, his best friend, a slur-" When my parents and my then best friend/now girl friend found me, after I was violated and was in the most humiliating position, I called and wished them worser things. Things I didn't actually mean. You'll don't understand, that when you are in such position the last thing you'll want is, people you love witnessing you in one of the most horrifying and embarrassing situation all powerless and violated. Lashing out is NOT uncommon. Because you were powerless in that situation, you take your anger, bitterness and pain out on people you love while trying to hold on to the scraps of dignity and self respect left in you. I don't why you'll act like you'll haven't hurt your loved ones with your words before. If you'll haven't, good for you. Some of us aren't that perfect and we get angry, lash out and say shit we don't mean. What matters is you ask them for forgiveness (if they deserve it) later after you calm down. Which Severus did. You'll shitting on characters for showing realistic, human reactions is wild to me.
Merlin shouldn't have ever left Ealdor. For once, he has a friend that actually provides him some questions for self-reflection. Who actually challenges him and who he can't hide from.
"When I was younger, I was terrified of [doctors]."
i think a central part of my james thesis is that to me the fanon interpretation of him as a happy-go-lucky 'ego the size of a lake but a heart to match it' golden boy is not at all irreconcilable with the canon depictions of his bullying and harassment of snape (and lily). i feel those two things naturally go hand-in-hand
obviously in canon james's story is About how those two things (the dearly departed hero and the bully) can and did exist within one person. the point is that james was multiple things to multiple people and the pathos behind every encounter harry has with the memory of his parents is that it's always jarring and confusing for him bc he will never get to Know his parents
but even beyond the text i feel like operating under the idea that there exists any Contradiction at the heart of james's character is somewhat of a misstep. to HARRY the revelation that james could be obnoxious and cruel upset his worldview bc it shattered the myth he'd been told about his father -- but like, when i as a reader consider james's character i don't see obnoxiousness and cruelty as incongruent with the other characteristics we're told james possessed (even the ones that we as fans have assigned him). for me interpreting james as a sunshiney, loving, charming, and generous friend and husband doesn't mean not interpreting him as someone who sexually harassed his peers -- perpetrators of sexual violence quite literally often are upstanding members of the community with a large network of people willing to support them. they often are people with significant amounts of social power/capital. this is kind of like sexual violence 101 tbh it's kind of funny to see people really staunchly take sides in the "james is a jerk" vs "james is the sun" wars. ten bucks says you've met a really charming funny handsome guy irl who was also a sex pest
was watching a video essay on how grim star trek is nowadays and saw some great comments.
