just gonna go on a quick rant about Kira Nerys. I’ve seen a lot of posts about her being “overshadowed” by sisko and the bajoran provisional government and always being “second in command” but seriously. SERIOUSLY? her character is especially unique because they combine a truly strong, brave, and smart woman along with someone who is feminine and can embrace her sexuality (with bariel, odo, etc). not only that, throughout the show they show men touching her without her consent, and she responded with either beating the shit out of them or pretty much telling them to fuck off. when it comes to big decisions, if she doesn’t agree to them, she doesn’t go along with them like some starfleet graduate, she fights until there are some concessions. she may be reactionary but throughout the show she grows to be such an incredible part of the station and an invaluable member of the fighting force against the dominion (even in the cardassian liberation movement when she’s wearing a starfleet outfit waaaat!!!). so I’d appreciate y’all to give some love to Nerys and what her, along with the other ds9 ladies (dax, kassidy, ishka, etc) did for the franchise. peaceeee
