What I’ve learned about aliens from Star Trek by reading Star Trek fanfic:

• Every species finds humans who conform to traditional human standards of beauty attractive.
• On any species with ridges, scales, pointy ears, antennae, or other inhuman features, those features will invariably be extremely sensitive (or outright erogenous zones), regardless of how feasible that might be given their stated function and/or their placement.
• Most species have a mating season that induces violent passion
• Two words: delicious semen. 
• Retractable and/or self-lubricating penises are de rigueur.
• Even if the males of a species are unattractive by human standards, the females will be at least moderately sexy.
• All species are sexually compatible with humans.
• All species are sexually compatible with humans.

I think Humans are just sexually compatible with all species. We are the sluts of the universe. (no slut-shaming; everybody loves that about Humans)

Also, erogenous zones - I know, right? If Cardassian ridges are erogenous zones, why does their armour leave them exposed, they could get punched there, wouldn’t that be like getting smacked in the balls?

I FINISHED A THING. I haven’t had time for much non-school stuff lately, but I managed to finally finish this little painting during D&D tonight. Garak and Bashir and Lady’s Cardassian war orphans.

It’s really more of a colored sketch, and there’s a lot of things wrong with it, but we’re doing midnight IHoP now so here it is, as complete as it will ever be.

The highlight of my day is reading Very Long Headcanon Conversations about DS9/DD9

“That’s not what people usually say.”
“What do they usually say?”
“‘Piss off.’”

Learning to Speak (working title: Language Lessons) - tinsnip - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine [Archive of Our Own]

[tinsnip]

Julian Bashir has been on Cardassia for six months. He thinks he’s adapted pretty well. But when it’s time to learn the language, he realizes he’s nowhere near as clever as he thought. Set post-canon, about a year and a half after the series ends. Light stuff, with occasional dips into darker territory.

Completed, ladies and gentlemen; please do have a read, if you like Garak/Bashir and/or Cardassian worldbuilding! Please like if you like, and I would die for comments. This is unbeta’d; I welcome constructive criticism on AO3 or here.

Thanks so much!

[micathemineral]

This is wonderful! I adore your worldbuilding and the way your characterize post-canon Julian! I usually enjoy Garak POV more than Julian POV, but I really loved seeing Garak’s struggle through the lens of Julian’s. Everyone should definitely go read this.

#that rain scene was really vivid too #...if I didn't have a paper to write this week I'd totally draw that #fic rec #deep space boyfriends #garak #Julian Bashir #bookmarked for future re-reading #tinsnip you're wonderful

[tinsnip]

Self indulgent reblog because yessssss, you got it; like Lady Yate-xel says, sometimes you have a thing in your head, and you try to put it on the paper, and you’re not quite sure if it made it over - but it did, it did, hooray! Thanks so much for the rec and the nice comments; I am delighted!

To make up for my last very depressing art post, have some holiday cheer! I even made it pinkish and everything. I think I’m going to continue the light vs dark theme I have going here, it suits them.

thankyouthankyouthankyou

finally some nondepressing Garak/Bashir feels today

thank you

[micathemineral]

Swooping by during my midterm panic to throw some very depressing art at you. Doctor Julian Bashir, shortly after What You Leave Behind.

[micathemineral]

So I spent about an hour creating a mock-up art history textbook excerpt for a fictional culture. This is what my life has become.

[micathemineral]

A practice digital collage piece that is not going to get any less ugly if I fiddle with it more, so I’m posting it now. Yes, he is wearing a carpet, mostly because I find it hilarious.

[teroknortailor]

Dude this is beautiful what are you talking about

Reminds me of that ‘chat noir’ piece for some reason

also saving this one to my ‘awesome fanart’ folder

[micathemineral]

Even if I don’t manage to make much shippy stuff, I’m still going to concentrate on female characters this (Femslash) February. I really really want to draw B’elanna/Janeway but I feel like the fandom would yell at me for not doing Janeway/Seven of Nine.
