I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.

Whoever fucked this up should be stabbed

If I recall, they did used to be the corresponding months.  It was just when Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Augustus came into power, the months July(Julius) and August(Augustus) were added, thus throwing off the numbering of the calender.

Good news, though: whoever fucked it up did in fact get stabbed.

Honestly,  the greatest achievement of “Carol of the Bells” is making the lyric “ding dong, ding dong” sound badass.

@jajarra replied:

It’s a weirdly ominous song for being about holiday cheer.

That’s partly because it originally wasn’t. The melody is taken from a Ukrainian New Year’s carol; the English lyrics are unrelated to the Ukrainian ones (which have nothing to do with bells).

Here, have a very extra performance of the original:

google translate has trouble with Ukrainian apparently

but it seems like a standard ‘let you have prosperity and/or a good harvest in the new year’ type of song, which doesn’t explain why the melody is more evocative of the great old ones rising from the sea to destroy everything you hold dear

“I feel like the best way to earn Garak’s respect is to either pull a gun on him or literally try to kill him. It won’t work, ever, but he’ll appreciate the effort.”

this is such a good

Odo was raised on Bajor by Bajorans, but doesn’t wear an earring.  So he’s not religious, despite religion being a pretty significant part of most Bajoran life.

  • did it never occur to Dr. Mora to raise Odo in the Bajoran religion because on some level he still saw Odo as Not A Real Person?  There’s a story there.
  • did Dr. Mora raise Odo with the religion but Odo never actually felt any connection to what was a Bajoran religion and he, as he keeps being reminded, isn’t Bajoran?  There’s a story there.
  • did the Kai and the council of Veddiks not allow Odo to get Bajoran-baptized or whatever the initiation/confirmation rites are because they decided he’s not enough of a Real Person?  There’s a story there.  (Cardassian war orphans were raised in the Bajoran religion, though, so it’s not like it’s exclusively for Bajorans.)
  • is Odo a Bajoran Atheist like how Ro is a Bajoran Satanist?  Okay I just kinda want to talk about Ro and her Edgy Satanist wearing-the-earring-on-the-wrong-ear, I want to see more of Ro
  • mostly I want to know whether Dr. Mora ever tried to raise Odo religious, and why/why not
  • also for real why doesn’t Odo have nose ridges, by rights he should
  • also also why does Odo have a gender, by rights he shouldn’t
  • I care deeply about Constable Odo
GOOD YES THIS.
