I've read a lot of fics where Bashir gains enough self awareness to realize that his little "frontier medicine" spiel was a fucked up thing to say to Kira.
I understand the wish fulfillment. However. Let us be for real for just one moment:
Julian said that and immediately forgot about it.
Kira has logged it in her memory and weighed every new piece of information about the good doctor against that fucked up thing he said about her homeland. But Julian was already three thoughts past it as soon as the words were out of his mouth. He will never think about that sentence again. He will never realize why he made a terrible first impression. Unless someone sits him down and explains point by point why it was a messed up thing to say, he will never understand. And no one is going to do that.

Jim Kirk: Are we allowed to draft Doctor McCoy back into the service for this mission? I feel his expertise will be invaluable.
Admiral Nogura: Well...technically, according to one particular regulation, yes.
Jim (batting his eyelashes): Will you do it?
Nogura: Do I have to be there when he arrives?
Jim: ....no.
Nogura: ...can I watch it on camera from a safe distance?
Jim: Sure.
Nogura: Then yes.

Don’t mind me. Just watching Future’s End and am totally calm about how close they are walking together and how the last shot looks like they are holding hands.

mfw dune has canon morticians in it so I'll never have to argue ever with someone who (incorrectly) thinks that sci-fi doctors deal with funeral and burial in that universe

NSFW mcspirk month - 22 - mirrorverse
Do you want some fem mirror? Because I do. I'm obsessed by Spock wearing a mullet, because this Vulcan is so deep in the queer haircut pipeline and we know it's the next stage!

I’ve been rewatching the og Star Trek recently and I love how, at the time, everything about the show must’ve seemed so cool and futuristic but watching it now it’s so retro and quintessentially 60s and it makes me wonder how people are gonna view our current TV shows in 60 years

it occurred to me recently that maybe the reason we don't see counselors assigned to ships in the tos/snw era is because the loss of life/ship/colony/planet and subsequent mental health crisis following the federation/klingon war was so bad, spreading the remaining counselors so thin, that it took until the 24th century to recover.
