#holosuite

Currently watching "our man Bashir" and I'm so glad that I see queer-coding everywhere, because this episode would be so different if I went into this with the conviction that Bashir and Garak are strictly straight

Holosuite guy

normal holosuite use: hmmm what would add to this scene... I've got it! computer, add an aardvark to the simulation

me, if only: computer, generate tripodal or higher limb-based body plan organisms that feed primarily on the earth plant 'Prunus amygdalus' and it's derivative cultivars and species. use xenobiological speculative models. let behavioral models influence but not chiefly dictate design.

This is somewhere between crack and serious.

sisko loving baseball is literally so weird. like imagine your boss was obsessed with like jousting or something. he talks about jousting all the time, when you go into his office he picks up his jousting stick and just kind of holds it while he talks to you, and then as you get to know him he starts inviting you and your coworkers to go watch simulated jousting videos with him. then one day his bitchy rival from college shows up and reveals that he not only learned jousting, but taught it to his employees. like he did this JUST to torment your boss, despite the fact they havent seen each other in YEARS. so your boss challenges the bitch to a jousting tournament and he just??? signs you up??? so you learn how to joust, you joust against the bitch rival and his employees, and then you lose

There are a lot of versions of what it would look like if Garak was included in the Niners team. Here's mine.

Reminder that this in b/w as well as many other pictures are availabe for an order. Check the pinned post :)

Take me out to the Holosuite / I don’t dance-HSM2 MV

[skratchpaper]

This is everything I didn’t know I needed!

Our Man Bashir AU where Julian was sent to DS9 as a counterintelligence operative specifically to keep an eye on any lingering Cardassian security threats (which turned out to primarily mean “Garak”) but he gets periodic updates/instructions from his handler encoded in the holosuite programs “Felix” sends him (because Felix thinks it’s funny and also it ensures that literally no one would ever suspect him).

So when Garak breaks into his holosuite, the reason he’s so hostile at first is because he thinks he’s been made and is privately freaking the fuck out. The whole time he’s steering Garak around insisting that they play through The Right Way it’s because he’s simultaneously trying to get the information he came in for and not give any sign to Garak that this is anything but a cheesy, ridiculous spy holonovel.

Alexander Siddig in Inescapable!!! (screams)

Every time a fascinating little guy in heavy prosthetics shows up on Star Trek and his performance is inexplicably engaging and fun to watch I go google him after and it’s always Jeffrey Combs and yet every time I’m still surprised

Ds9 has an actual therapist/counselor on the station but they all go to Vic the hologram for any type of advice

[sickotheclown]

I don't even care if I get canceled for this but take me out to the holosuit would have been way funnier if Rom was inexplicably great at baseball instead of making his actor pretend to be bad at it

[sporkandpringles]

thinking about "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" again, and like... how do the other Vulcans on Solok's team feel about this? Like, do they enjoy baseball? Are they just following orders? Do they think their captain is being illogically emotionally obsessed with this one particular human but they're keeping it to themselves? Do they understand the rituals are intricate? Do they think they're helping their captain get laid?

finally got started on DS9, thought the crew deserved some pizza

solok being petty pt.1

I re-watched this episode recently and got curious. So I went on here and ao3 only to find out that there are a lot of fics of this obscure character.

Good to know we all had the same vision. Keep up the good work 🫡

Love that we all saw this man (who only appears in this episode and never again in the series) and collectively went: "what if i fixed him/made him worse"

p.s. i'm not that good at editing stuff like this, but someone had to do it
