This is a painting of Jacek Malczewski called simply ‘Death’ and it’s my favourite personification of death in any medium. 

She’s not creepy or scary, or sexy, or abstract. She is this thick woman with worn hands, dressed as normal, with a non-stylised scythe and pins in her hair: like a farmer’s wife that just came form the field and rests against the wall, catching some sun. She is not creeping about the dying one holding her scythe over their head, she is just there, calmly waiting her turn. 

This painting always fills me with peace and optimism when I think about death. She is just there, outside the window, in no hurry at all, sensible and down to earth. I can live with that.

Stonn was a male Vulcan who married T'Pring in 2267. Although T'Pring had been bonded to Spock as a child, she preferred Stonn instead. In the Star Trek fan mini-series "Star Trek Of Gods And Men" Uhura is married to Stonn and has several children with him.

Stonn was played by Lawrence Montaigne.

Garak/Bashir set is done~  This set was commissioned by lemonsweetie, who wanted some portraits of these two during three stages of their lives - early years on the station, years after that on a post-canon Cardassia where they’re both active and working to improve things there, and then years after that in which they’re both greying and just old and retired and wearing ridiculous tunics together.

 I loved making this a progression by aging them and moving yellow blue around and fading all the colors out by the end, and then having it also reflect symmetry at the same time.

Fun, fun, fun~   Thanks, Lemonsweetie!

an excerpt from an extended letter from one Elim Garak to Dr. Julian Bashir…

…He’s a very good man, this Dr. Parmak; he reminds me of an older version of you, Doctor. But what is once again ironic is that Dr. Parmak was once marginally involved in an illegal political group, and when he was arrested, guess who was responsible for his interrogation? The man is anything but a coward, but his sensitivity is such that all I had to do was stare at him for four hours and he told us everything he knew. He claims that even today he has a hard time looking me in the eye. I have asked his forgiveness, and he has been kind enough to give it. I hope the new Cardassia will have more people like him.

…I [thought about the] Cardassian sense of duty and how it is largely responsible for bringing those of us are left to these current circumstances. I asked Dr. Parmak how an entire people can come under the sway of this duty and blindly give allegiance to a state that goes mad and murders its own children.

“Poisonous pedagogy, Elim,” he replied. “We believe what we are taught.”

-  from A Stitch In Time by Andrew J. Robinson; this scene is set shortly after “What We Leave Behind”.

here have a Garak gif

The last time I read through it, I hadn’t seen “Improbable Cause” or “The Die is Cast” in ages; the reference to Dr. Parmak (who is brought up by Tain while reminiscing about the good ol’ days of the Obsidian Order) went right over my head.
