Something I think is compelling and well done about Odo’s storyline is that he is “born” in a dark place, where he is forced to live the first years in a vulnerable state, as an experiment. Then, when he walks out on that, it is still a dark world outside. He becomes very tight and keeps his physical and emotional vulnerability kept inward. He puts a lot of value in keeping up appearances of what is expected of him, or what people are most familiar with. 

When Terok Nor becomes DS9, the world becomes a little lighter as time passes (literally–Terok Nor episodes are dark blue in visual tone). His story starting there is still turbulent, but toward the end, he is asked to show himself as he really is and he turns into light.

Kai Winn is arguably one of the most brilliantly antagonist villains in ds9 and you never agree with her ever.

Except for ONE moment.

Where she’s talking to Weyoun, the slimeball henchman of the Dominion.

And he’s like, “So are you going to sign a non aggression pact with the Dominion? I think we’re very alike, you and i.”

And she smiles this like, typical fakey Kai Winn smile.

And grabs his ear like she always does.

And then, very sweetly, in Umbridge fashion, she says, “No. We’re nothing alike.”

And she just turns and walks right off.

It’s the most hilarious Kai Winn moment where she’s actually the better person in the series.

Like we’ve seen her get curbstomped by Sisko, Kira, and other sassmasters.

But this is the only time she’s dropped a bomb and actually been on the good side for once.

One of the things made most apparent by various DS9 fanfic and discourse and memes is that having Lwaxana Troi and Elim Garak both be on the show but NEVER have them interact was a down right criminal waste of potential

[I liked the earlier seasons of DS9 much more than the later ones.]

“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.”

Nice additions to the crew~

I want to get the recent Spock and Uhura dolls very much, but these two have been things I looked at since I was a kid and they’re feeling very bright and nostalgic to have out like this.

Watercolor and some fun digital additions.
