(being a great dad means making the tough calls, like whether to encourage your child’s creative side even when they shapeshift into a deeply unsettling combination of yourself and your worst enemy-sorta-kinda-it’s complicated)

(aunt nerys is just the sweetest, the most caring, and, importantly, the most capable of vaporizing your enemies.)

Okay, my need for Garak & cat has suddenly gone from zero to redline, like–

claws? but scales tho?

and so we get, like, kitten climbing Garak’s calf with tiny piton claws and Garak just kind of idly reaching down and scratching its head, “stop that, you’re tickling.”

and cat curled up on Julian (because of course Julian) because he’s warm and Garak doing much the same and Julian just being like fml

and Garak and cat making slow blinks at each other because affection and cat and Cardassian

and also, also cat sharpening its claws on Garak’s scales, like, on his elbow, and Julian looking over in bemusement.

“Doesn’t that hurt?”

“It’s a trifle ticklish.”

“God. Ooh, that looks like it’s got to hurt just a little…?”

“I assure you it doesn’t.”

Rrrr, the cat corroborates.

“If she did that to me I’d jump a meter.”

“I honestly do not understand how cats and Humans have managed to peaceably co-exist. There must have been some mistake… yes, my dear, you agree,” and the cat rubs her head against his finger and redoubles her pleasant skritching. “Clearly the Progenitors made an error… you were supposed to be Cardassian, weren’t you… mmm, well, we shall pretend…”

“She’s not a reptile, Garak.”

“Oh, she very nearly is… look at you, yes, you are a heartless little killing machine, aren’t you…”

Brrrrrrrrt, says the cat.

(help)

If he were better educated, not so damaged, he would have made an ideal spy, a deep-penetration mole. He’s a chameleon. A mirror. He becomes whatever is required of him. Not a conscious process, I don’t think. Piotr expects a loyal retainer, and Bothari plays the part, deadpan as you please. Vorrutyer wanted a monster, and Bothari became his torturer. And victim. I demanded a good soldier, and he became one for me. You …” his voice softened, “you are the only person I know who looks at Bothari and sees a hero. So he becomes one for you. He clings to you because you create him a greater man than he ever dreamed of being.

On ‘Amok Time’ I don’t remember if it was Gene Roddenberry, Gene Coon or [writer] Ted Sturgeon who came up with the idea of the Vulcan seven-year mating cycle, but the way we established it, Vulcans mate normally anytime they want to. However, every seven years you do the ritual, the ceremony, the whole thing. It’s a biological urge. This every seven-years business was taken literally by too many people who aren’t stopping and understanding. I mean, every seven years would be a little bad, and it would not explain the Vulcans of many different ages, which are not seven years apart.

baby changeling anon sketchdump [1/3]

So ages ago (sorry!) I got these asks [1],[2] about the baby changeling from ‘the begotten’ essentially coming back to life, and also weyoun 6 is there (the asks explain better than i can). Anyway obviously i was super into that and wanted to draw some fanart, so I used it as an excuse to go to town messing about with a bunch of different art styles

image

(Julian’s going to have to completely rewrite several papers on changeling biology after this… also my hands aren’t capable of drawing a sufficiently starry eyed weyoun for this one)

(They’re in the holosuite, Quark is trying to do… something legitimate probably, 5 seconds later the baby dishes on all sorts of repressed quark feelings picked up from odo while linking, then shapeshifts into a bar of latinum with legs and waddles off. The magic of parenthood!)
