#Kira/Odo

Okay, the first time I watched DS9 I was no fan of Kira/Odo - I hadn't been expecting it, and thought she could do better XD

But now I've rewatched most of the show, it's actually grown to be one of my favourite canon ships. And this line from Covenant just really got to me with how lovely it is:

[ID: 2 gifs of Odo talking to Kira in Quark's, saying "It's just that, uh, you spend so much time in services-"]

And I have to admit, I fully thought he was going to say something along the lines of "I wish you would spend that time with me". BUT NO. I should have trusted you Odo, because he actually says:

[ID: same scene, Odo says, "that sometimes it makes me wish I were a believer, so that we could go together."]

And like, there's just so many layers of his care for her??

He's saying, "I want to spend more time with you, even if it's in a space where it wouldn't be about spending time together, just because I like being near you."

And also, "If I could, I'd give up my own time, just to be in the same place you've chosen to be."

But despite wanting to, he won't, because there's also an unspoken element of "I respect your beliefs and wouldn't want to intrude on them without having the same belief."

[ID: First GIF is of Ezri saying "That really is so sweet," while Julian nods in the background. Second GIF is of Kira looking at Odo and smiling/laughing.]

Ezri's reaction is spot-on, and as always, Kira's smile is everything.

Oop! Uh... hello, Kira? Sorry for interrupting. When did you sneak in here?

Hey now! No need for that! Alright, I'll leave you two alone.

She calmed down a little later, and they are being sweet 🥰

A couple close ups

Bonus: Because this made me laugh when I read everyone's heights awhile ago, and now we can do an accurate visual. Even if you made them barefoot to take away her stompy boots advantage, she'd still be taller than Geordi 😜

shipping kira / odo after his slimy ass betrays the entire alpha quadrant for some sub-par amorphous pussy is …….. beyond incomprehensible

"we saw you across the bar and we hate your vibe. but he still wants you for some reason."

kira/odo/quark is potentially the funniest poly relationship

"i'm nerys and this is my boyfriend odo and that's odo's boyfriend quark. i can't stand him. no, odo kinda can't stand him either" (quark shouting from across the room: IT'S MUTUAL <3)

Do I think the residents of DS9 celebrate Christmas? No. Did I want an excuse to draw them giving presents to each other? Of course.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
