For Tinsnip.
waaaaaaah i never saw this!
Season 6 Episode 3 Sons and Daughters
/snipped my commentaryOhh, I love this episode!
It’s a chance to see Kira, Dukat, and Ziyal acting like a family, however messed up that is.
I love it when they’re looking at her paintings and they both have the same look in their eyes.
Dukat and Kira are both so genuinely happy for Ziyal and it just gives me the best family feels.
It’s true. They both do love Ziyal.
In a way, Dukat weirds me out even more because he really loves his daughter. When she behaves. Otherwise he abandons her on a space station, because he doesn’t think she’s displayed the proper filial respect. Psychopaaaaath~
Do we know what happened with his marital life, after he reclaimed power on Cardassia? Did his wife come back? I can’t see that being a happy household. Eeeek. Poor seven little Dukats.
tinsnip said: teroknortailor, what is a yamok, anyway?
I’m afraid, my dear Tinsnip, that we are not dealing with a what, but a who.
Pran Yamok was a prominent Legate in the Cardassian Military many years ago who was quite notorious for his gourmet palate. It is said that chefs had more to fear from him than the people he conquered. One day, he happened across a food cart while on one of his customary strolls through the Torr sector of Cardassia City and noticed the most delectable smell coming from it. Naturally, he could not resist a taste.
The woman running the cart gave him a stick of fried lennet smothered in the glossy yellow substance. The fragrant aroma was enough to make Legate Yamok grin, and upon tasting the sauce that grin spread into the widest smile to ever grace a Cardassian’s face. An intricately choreographed dance of flavors, both spicy and bitter, yet sweet and smoky danced on his tongue with a crisp metallic edge. Yamok was so pleased with the sauce that he took the poorer woman as his second wife. He treated her so well, and she bore him many children.
However, the Cardassian health system was still being rebuilt out of the previous decades of religious turmoil and Yamok’s beloved second wife fell grievously ill with a newly discovered terminal condition called Yarim Fel Syndrome. During her shri-tal ritual, she asked only one thing - for her special sauce to be named in the honor of the person who had elevated her from a lowly food cart vendor, Yamok himself, and be distributed throughout the Cardassian Union to inspire others to do well in their work, should they come across another person like her kind Legate.
Since then, the recipe for Yamok sauce has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
Well, that’s headcanon.
DAMMIT.
All this Garak/Bashir on my dash is distracting me from watching a Garak/Bashir episode of Deep Space Nine which in turn is distracting me from writing my Garak/Bashir fanfic.
Okay now I need this:
Female Changeling as Yzma
Weyoun as Kronk
Dukat as Kuzko
Damar as Pacha
Something like ‘The Legate’s New Groove’
“A Bajoran?! He’s supposed to be dead!!”
It has been stated in the canon that Cardassians shed their scales periodically (also known as molting and that’s why their neck ridges often look different onscreen. Sure, they can take sonic showers, but those don’t exactly help to get rid of the dead scales. To aid in this process, most...
SANDBATHS I LOVE IT
/adds to mental headcanon of the public baths on Cardassia Prime
“After Last Unicorn Games closed their doors, several supplements that were in their pipeline were scrapped. Among these was Iron and Ash, a supplement detailing the Cardassians. When this box set was scrapped, some users at the web site Trek-RPG.net came together and created a fan-created sourcebook dedicated to these favorite DS9 adversaries. The sourcebook was released in 2004, for free in PDF format. The first book examines the Cardassian physiology, culture, education, history, technology, ships and language as never before. The second book contains the RPG mechanics for integration into a LUG game. Together, they comprise over 150 pages with all-original artwork.
The Cardassian Sourcebook was edited by Kevin Thomas, and written by Tim Cooke, Jon Crew, Steve Kenson, Eric Rush, Guy Schipp, Paul Sinclair, Alexander Skrabut, Gregory J. Smith and Kevin Thomas.
Several of the Cardassian ranks established in Iron and Ash were used in Pocket Books’ Terok Nor novel trilogy, Fearful Symmetry and The Never-Ending Sacrifice.”
Book 1 is a hundred and twenty-seven pages loooooong~

oh he’s probably just nervous because Major Kira is involved.
You’re not wrong there! It’s so hard to be evil when you just want to be good, poor baby. I did love how he really thought Major Kira was joking with him re: the perverse pleasure he was getting out of twisting the situation around. He deserved a cup to the chufa.
