that one salaryman coworker you have who’s up in the office section above the main department store you work at and he’s always kind of quiet and polite but lowkey boring

I don’t talk about my love for Kira Nerys too often because. Look. I think if DS9 handles anything well, it’s Kira, hands down.

Her character development is a work of art. She is so traumatised, so angry, so beaten down and STILL FIGHTING at the start. She struggles so much with her PTSD, with the idea that she is ever allowed to be in anything but attack mode…

And then, slowly, gradually, she becomes a whole new person. She laughs, she smiles, she makes corny jokes, she does dumb fun things for the sake of enjoying herself. She has friends, she has a family, she is surrounded by love and joy and HOPE.

Even in the middle of second war, she’s DIFFERENT now. She’s not the same miserable angry person she was, afraid to let go of the vigilant surivival instincts that kept her alive for so long. She’s come back to life as a person who has something to live for.

She has done terrible things. Her hands are stained with blood. She is never going to be able to forget her trauma or the suffering, both her own and that of her people, nor the suffering she inflicted while fighting for her freedom. But she recovers. She heals. She carves out an existence where she is truly, genuinely happy to be alive.

I don’t need to talk about Kira as much as some other characters because this all happens on screen. It’s right there, and it’s beautiful and perfect.

Kira Nerys goes from a person who cannot conceive of herself outside of the horrors she has suffered, inflicted, and fought against, to someone for whom her trauma is just one part of the larger picture, a piece of a rich and vibrant tapestry that is now filled, overwhelmingly, with joy.

Kira Nerys is like, hands down, bar none, one of, if not THE best characters Star Trek has ever created. I love her so much. She is just, completely and utterly perfect, especially in her flaws.

i saw someone spread hate to Keiko bc they were a Bashir/O'brien shipper, and i do NOT agree with that.

why would you ever say such things when this was always an option?

this is obviously what's happening in the show anyways

[bribinart]

so uh guess what i watched

(prints!)

manga Light: *loses 10 pounds in the first 5 days of using the Death Note and is constantly plagued with nightmares over the guilt of what he is doing*

drama Light: *literally tries to kill himself because he can't come to terms with the fact that he murdered two people who were directly endangering his loved ones*

anime Light, approximately 15 seconds after using the Death Note for the second time: this is great actually now I don't even have to join the police force in order to murder criminals

Near is so unbothered because he has hobbies. literally solved the biggest murder case in human history all while crafting, playing, building, and collecting. actual king of having hobbies. reblog this with a hobby you think Near would have.

good ol' days

[filthyguts]

some particular scrumptious kira expressions from that little animation I did

[chitinleg]

got him off-balance!

[dreamerdrop]

Kira Nerys is practically giddy after watching Julian Bashir knock Dukat down a peg in Cardassians, at Garak's behest.

Kira Nerys smiles like a fond parent when Julian Bashir explains that Garak has been tutoring him in surveillance techniques in Shadow Play.

Kira Nerys is the one who sees Garak snap at Julian Bashir in The Wire and immediately asks what's wrong.

Kira Nerys immediately asks Garak to help evacuate people in Civil Defense. When Julian Bashir explains Garak's thought process in shutting down life support systems, she barely hesitates before doing it.

Garak only jokingly suggests that Kira Nerys would want to kill him in The Die is Cast, and gives her the equivalent of a compliment by stating that if that were true, he would indeed be dead already.

Julian Bashir is completely willing to believe by Our Man Bashir that Garak and Kira Nerys would have coordinated on pranking him together, complete with matching outfits.

In conclusion: Kira Nerys and Garak should have had an episode about them accidentally becoming friends without either of them realizing it.
