Studystudystudy…

Oh, come now, Dr. Bashir, don’t you want to do this kinky thing to save Garak’s life? I mean, yes, it’s not exactly consensual, and we could just wake him up and he could take care of it himself, but instead you could do it yourself… purely to help him, of course… no one would know… and also it would be super hot…

Bad fanfic. No biscuit.

• Me: I don't get it. How can Bashir perform surgery by manipulating particles on the subatomic level? Isn't there a little something called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
• My friend: More like the Bashir Certainty Principle.

Tinsnip:

And yes, stupidly into him, like, this is a strange Julian to write, because he is totes into Garak and he is totes aware of it and yet he is not at all sure what to do – like, he’s putting on the sexy jeans, he’s excited for the night, he’s vibrating with it ferchrissakes, and yet he is all ??????

It’s so funny – it’s not canon Julian, who thinks this out much more deliberately. This is Julian just going welp. And yet not quite – he’s not throwing himself at Garak, he’s not propositioning him, and what is going to happen will happen rather spontaneously… and yet not quite? You know? Like, in the same sense that standing in the middle of the road with your eyes shut will probably result one being hit by a car, and yet a plausible argument could be made that you weren’t really sure it was going to happen?

I like it I like writing it I like slightly-sexy Julian and I like weird not quite a tailor Garak I liiiiiiiike it~~~

But srsly I do not know how you keep them off each other? Like, Jesus, I have trouble holding Julian back.  Even when the timing is not right. He keeps trying to get frisky, and I keep going ffs guy wait for the goddamn Ferris wheel at least.

Ah, age difference, how you please me… Here I sit between the two of them, looking back in time and forward in time, and I’m so terribly amused… Garak ass over fucking teakettle in love and showing none of it because a) that would be telling b) that would be vulnerable and c) if Julian does ever actually want to do something (oh my god keep your cool garak), he doesn’t want to feel like he’s pressured him into it…  And Julian on the other end, keeping his head, having fun, with a completely liquid core of wat do?? inside him

SCREEEEEEEEEECHING!!!!!!

/throws back head and makes pterodactyl noises

and the ke$ha soundtrack does not help my state of mind

clearly look at this email it is madness

and man your miles moment

i think i am going to start calling my rare moments of sanity miles moments

it works

Lady Yate-Xel:

I like the standing in the road thing.  It’s definitely not propositioning, but he also seems to have laid some groundwork for slightly more significant nonsense with the jeans and handsqueezing so far, so it’s not like virginal innocence and ‘I have no idea how this happened! how can i possibly be sexy and with this older man in a slightly romantic situation, oh no~’   That’s shoujo manga Julian hardcore, though.  Break out the doilies and the flower petals.

…

ALSO I AM EXCITED THERE WILL BE FERRIS WHEEL

TELLING AND VULNERABLE AND PRESSURE, YES THAT IS IT.   And Julian’s molten core of panic and terror covered by several cooling layers of, 'aww, i weirdly like you’ and a pair of black jeans,   They are the most adorable disaster.

One classy motherfucker

Illogical

I want to know what happens on DS9 when the most important members of the crew are aboard the Defiant. I mean, even the doctor, chief engineer and chief of security tag along on Defiant missions for no apparent reason. Bashir’s at the controls (?) and Odo just stands there saying, “Captain, all commination signals are standing by." Couldn’t some unknown Ensign have said that as well as our dear constable?

Meanwhile, each time the Defiant departs DS9 Ops threatens to blow up, sickbay becomes overrun with patients, and Quark gains so much profit from illegal sales the FCA has to investigate him.

So last week me and my friend were trying out a faceswap app

And for some reason it wouldn’t recognise that there were 2 faces in the picture

So we tried it from a different angle and

I was really confused and kind of offended at what it’d done to my face

BUT THEN

NOT A DAY PASSES WHEN I DON’T LAUGH AT THIS

It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal" races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat," only we’re scarier.

[fan-troll]

oh god, i loved the “made of meat" story so much that i printed it out and gave it to my teacher in third grade. she returned it stapled and with a smiley face.

One of the things I love about Starflight is that it manages to avoid painting humans as that sort of baseline species. Humans are the most skilled species at geological sciences, which strikes me as a fun and oddly surprising field for us to be the best at. Humans of the franchise are also noted for having unnervingly similar males and females, and one other species regards us with fear and contempt for breathing air.
