self-love is me resisting the urge to eat the leftovers I have in the fridge as a bedtime snack, out of compassion and adoration for future-me, who deserves to wake up in the morning and eat something delicious without having to cook it first

I always been afraid of losing people I love. Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone out there afraid to lose me.

My headcanon goes that Garak himself put an addendum on the hit that it was his first and off limits to any other assassinat, thug, hit man, bounty hunter etc. Every lowlife in the galaxy knows of Garak the tailor who nearly destroyed the Dominion founders, the man who tricked the Romulans into entering the war *(allegedly) and the man who captured the Queen founder and assassinated the Dominion Supreme Commander Weyoun.

Sure sometimes a strung out upstart with a cool but woefully underrprepared ship will take on this seemingly easy bounty. But they never bothered googling Garak.

Quark is famous enough, his exploits are relatively popular. The hitman enters the bar to scope it out. Soon he realizes he is surrounded. Behind him is a fairly unassuming well dressed and friendly look Cardassian with his hands on shoulders.

Hello the man says as he sits next to you uninvited. My name is Garak, and you see... and your vision starts to fade as Quark walks up to your counter shaking his head and mouthing the word 'amateurs'

And then nothing

in ds9 s4e25 body parts, quark never calls off the assassination onscreen. occam's razor suggests that the discussion with garak isn't notable in any way. but murphys law tells us: he has a permanent hit out on him for the rest of the series

I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.

Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you!  Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting! 

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well. Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.

Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean:  I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company. Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.

It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.

#THIS WHOLE VIDEO IS WORTH WATCHING FOR THE TRAINING SCENES #BUT ESPECIALLY ALL THE CHARACTER WORK THAT WENT INTO THE BODY ACTING #LIKE HOW ANAKIN’S SLOUCHED INSTEAD OF STANDING UP STRAIGHT BECAUSE HE JUST DOESN’T CARE ANYMORE #HIS ARROGANCE MAKES HIM MESSY #ONCE AGAIN HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN DOES NOT GET NEARLY ENOUGH CREDIT FOR HIS ACTING

I don’t know how to describe it but this is exactly what paleontologists are supposed to look like

I have a gripe here, something Disney should have done.

In this scene Obi Wan has gone full on rightous jedi on Vader, we have seen how powerful Vader is up to this point and it stands to reason he, the inquistors, and the Empire realized Obi Wan was more powerful, seeing how he put Vader in that robot suit.

So we see Obi Wan a fully realized Jedi fighting with the might of Yoda and just demolishing Vader. I think the scene should have ended with the Inquistor interrupting the fight to rescue Vader at the last moment. Obi Wan having already cut one arm and force ripping the robot leg off his suit.

The Inquistor full knows what Obi Wan is capable of, as he studied all Jedi in his past career.

So as Obi Wan is kicking Vaders ass with his own leg, punchung him in the gut with his own arm,, Inquistor and a contingent of stormtroopers arrive and distract Obi Wan enough to rescue Vader, and Obi Wan still in the avatar state is decimating their numbers and the single shuttle to make it off was Vader ship... Obi Wan comes out of it...

He jedi messages Vader to never forget who his master was...

And that's why when they next meet, Vader says what he did.

That is why Vader stopped looking for Obi Wan... because he knew he might not survive the next round.
