Bashir Action Figure Before and After!
So Tinsnip sent me her Bashir figure to fix up, because his face was kind of terrifying!
He got some more dimension in his skin tone, new eye on one side, modified eye on the other, new eyebrows in a location where eyebrows should actually be, and a new hairline!
Progress shots at some point!
You guys, you really must appreciate how dramatic a change this is. I was really quite upset and stompy about his face; he was an eBay purchase and his face wasn’t clearly visible in the pictures. So disappointing, especially after the super-cute face on the TOS Julian figure I already owned.
But Lady has fixed him! He’s been nip-tucked to perfection! He’s been plucked and reseeded! He’s adorable!
I am tremendously pleased~~~
DS9 was amazing. I loved almost every episode. The characters have so much depth and while you don’t always love all of them, they grow on you.
And I admit it. I cried at the end when they were all split up.
Because it took them so long to get where they were! From Kira and Sisko not liking each other to Kira staying on board when the Dominion were attacking and showing her loyalty to the Federation because they’d become her friends and not just a necessary evil to Julian going from an arrogant, shallow smartass to an intelligent and sensible, reasonable, and deep individual with experience and his own inner strength.
And Quark and Odo actually being friends? Odo is constantly thwarting Quark’s money-grubbing schemes, but they do genuinely care about each other (in a kind of hostile way, I suppose). They go through a lot together and when push comes to shove, they might heckle each other, but they are willing to work together (sometimes… when it’s serious).
Actually, Quark had more depth than I thought he ever would. I always assumed he was comic relief, but I was wrong. He’s amusing and he’s a believable as a person.
Kira and Odo…. I shipped the fuck out of that. Poor Odo. His pining was… depressing.
And the political backdrop! I loved it! So fascinating! So many rich and culturally intense ideas! I loved DS9.
Come at me, Star Trek fans. I know you guys didn’t like it.
I loved it. Hell, I got my own name from that series.
It’s just… it’s intense. It’s a sci-fi, but primarily, it’s philosophical and dramatic at its heart and you really grow to love the characters.
I watched it when I was a kid and all I wanted out of life at the time (besides going to Hogwarts that is), was to live on the promenade of Deep Space Nine.
My best childhood memories revolve around DS9. That’s how much I loved it. I can still watch it now and love it, NO NOSTALGIA FILTER.
It’s just that awesome.
At some times, it can be scary. Heart-breaking. Devastating. Sob-your-eyes-out. But that’s the best part of a story. Becoming emotionally involved.
DS9 is the most underrated Star Trek series.
And that… makes me sad.
Are Trekkies nice? I don’t want to walk into a new fandom and then get made fun of for being new, get called fake, and the such.
welcome!!
New fan new fan new fan new fan!!!!!

I’m an apprentice tattoo artist. An artist who owns a few shops invited me to their team.
I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still learning basic shading techniques. Working with a tattoo pen adds depth to the traditional flat plane I’m used to working on.
One is never too old to learn a new skill.
At times I feel like a complete newb.
So, here is a meme that I love. I’m sharing it for everyone who is learning something new.
