This commission is a gift from tinsnip to cosmictuesdays inspired by a conversation they had about Deep Dish Nine Julian in some extremely loud pjs. Elim is still deeply fond of him, it turns out, horrific though the spectacle might be~
Here is a commission post, though I’ll be revising that info soon!
‘my life would suck without you’ by kelly clarkson is on my garashir playlist and NO ONE CAN STOP ME
This one is pretty old, but I thought it can belong tumblr as well. xd
My first reaction when Weyoun 4 appeared for the first time xdd
The sultan (Aleaxander Siddig) in the Big Finish Doctor Who adventure ‘1001 nights’ with Peter Davison as the Doctor and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa.
“Do you not wish to please me?”
*me trying no to swoon when Mr Siddig speaks words like these in his sultry voice*
Besides having the opportunity to listen to Mr Siddig delivering threats and other niceties the story is great. Many stories inside the big story, masterfully told and woven together. Nyssa is played beautifully and Peter Davison is just his amazing self.
BIG FINISH IS AWESOME!!! We love stories! Subscribers get more!
Agrippa watches Mr Siddig being gorgeous and takes screen shots for artistic purposes 1/? (tbc)
Spooks Season 2.2 (A nest of angels); Ibhn Khaldun
It is common sense, tahkmar, that aliens can be quite odd. Some are funny, some are angry. Some are greedy, some are shady.
Manilan knew this when he first encountered aliens. His ship was beautiful and sturdy, but space is a dangerous place, nildasi, too dangerous for your soft little scales. The likes of a storm had whirled the beautiful ship to uncharted space, at the confines of known world. Engines disabled, hull breached in places… Oh, my most beloved, it was a sad sight.
Near to the golden ship appeared a silver ship, and like two souanja fishes, they looked at each other with fascination and distrust. Manilan was bold and made contact first, for one must never silence out of fear in the face of an enemy.
The silver fish had a Federation alien for captain. It had noticed the gold fish’s distress, and came to offer help.
“What will it cost us?” asked Manilan.
“Nothing; our help is free,” the alien answered.
Manilan didn’t believe it, but he was in no position to refuse help. And so for days, the aliens helped to repair his beautiful ship. They brought coils and matter, men wearing gold and interphasic spanners. They fixed and mended, jolted and wielded.
“What shall we repay you with?” asked Manilan.
“Nothing, I insist; helping others is its own reward for us,” the alien answered.
Manilan believed it this time.
“Yes, I understand now. Your help was appreciated,” he ended the communication and relaxed in his seat.
As the silver fish prepared to warp away, the beautiful golden fish took a distance to observe how the other ship exploded. Plasma disruptions, warp core breach… Oh, my most beloved, it was a glorious sight.
It is common sense, tahkmar, that it takes balance to walk, and balance to speak. To give and to get is still to have, and nothing is ever free.
Questions for the children:
■ Why didn’t Manilan believe the alien the first time?
> It offered help for free, and nothing is ever free.
■ Why did Manilan believe the alien the second time?
> It said helping others was its own reward; for the given help, the alien was taking something in return, but without disclosing what it was.
■ Why was the silver ship blown up?
> By helping repair Manilan’s ship, the aliens were learning more about Cardassian technology and couldn’t be allowed to leave with that knowledge.
■ What is it that we learned from this story?

I hit 100 followers today, which is like, super cool! Thank you all for watching and ah, I hope you’re enjoying the stuff then!
I thought I’d do a little something to celebrate, and since I’m a boring, nerdy person, I opted for the, probably, least enthusing option (but it’s very enthusing to me), and decided to share a WIP of what I’ve been working on recently:
formatting my kardasi grammar rules \o/
See, when I started rp’ing with @kissmeinkardasi we were far from tumblr, and there came a moment when I needed some kardasi. So I tried to google to see if there was any kardasi out there, and because I suck massive balls at googling, I didn’t find @cardassianlanguage and was like “aw man, I have to make my own”
So I did that. And because I’m a massive language nerd, I’m loving it.
