when you're done with the ds9 viewing notes you should publish them on your blog

okay! 

i’m not going to take up everybody’s dashboards with them because that would definitely be a dick move but here is the ds9 watch guide. heads up it’s very much aimed at a non-tumblr audience - certain elements (like when i tell ppl they can skip our man bashir if they want, or barely mention the mirror universe) are tailored to that. (it’s also ‘cause the mirrorverse sucks. anyway.) and some things, like what qualifies as a “ferengi episode” or as “gay happenings” ended up way more fucked up than i meant for them to be. 

(gay happenings was originally a way to mark out extra gay tos episodes; in the end, i used that symbol to mark out some but not all central texts for garashir, kiradax, quodo, and miles/julian since those are the four most popular same-gender ships on ao3. plus rejoined of course. anyway boy howdy am i overanalyzing this.) 

if anyone’s curious about the tos one, here it is. same disclaimers apply.
