#peldor festival

Self-care is drawing Shaxs doing Bajoran things (I drew him with Kira on DS9 before the season 3 trailer was even out, so as far as I’m concerned I manifested it)

I posted my first Garashir fic on AO3. It's my take on why Garak never noticed the changeling had replaced Bashir. It's some of my best writing yet, and I'm quite proud of it!

Summary:

Deep Space Nine is hosting its fifth annual Peldor Festival. Garak, still struggling to accept the loss of his own home, despises the sound of joy and celebration. All he wants is to be alone.

He fails to notice how thoroughly the changeling that replaces Bashir deceives him.

The Federation reached its long limbs across the ink of space, unendingly planting itself with shallow roots in a thousand worlds. A Cardassian needed nothing outside of the nourishment of the homeland. They sustained the motherland, and in turn, she sustained them. Humans could not truly know isolation, for should they try hard enough, it seemed they could create a home anywhere, fickle creatures that they were.

A Partition of Oaths

This fic grabbed me with the first sentence and did not let go. A Partition of Oaths is one of the best takes on Garak I've read in awhile. The way he knows, and yet will not allow himself to know his own heart is infuriating. Yet the reader is guided to understand how this self deception is so integral to his sense of himself. One is drawn in to his worldview, and left almost impressed by the steadfastness of his loyalty, even as we watch it destroy him.

So we learn basically in Picard that the Voyager crew went their separate ways and that the Enterprise crew kind of kept tabs on each other, but I like to think that the DS9 crew have appointed times of the year they see each other and go on family vacations together (yes Worf too).

the whole reason they're not in Picard is that they're all sipping juice on Bajor during the Gratitude/Peldor Festival and said "peace out"

Bajoran Athiest: I mean, I used to get all up set about people saying 'peldor joi' to me. But I realized that most of them hardly meant anything by it other then hello. There's plenty of secular reasons for Gratitude during the Gratitude Festival. Just let people celebrate. Let's talk about the REAL problems, like how much influence the Vedeks have over the Provisional Government.

Just once I'd like to see an alien who doesn't belong to the one universal religion of their planet.

"I'm sure you think you're being very culturally sensitive by saying peldor joi, but did you know three percent of Bajorans are atheists? To say nothing of our various minority religions and imported belief systems. Just wish me happy holidays!"

Also it would be fun to see a Betazoid who worshipped Kahless or something. Faith is weird, growing up surrounded by one is no guarantee you won't end up something else.

whens the bajoran graditude festival roughly in human calendar days. lunar or gregorian calendars i dont care i'll figure it out from there.

i just want an excuse to yell "peldor joi" that isnt just echolalia

[starry-bite]

Update:

my friend said "happy thanksgiving" to me, and i deadass responded with "peldor joi"

[there-goes-trouble]

wait so Jadzia knew all about Morn's schemes and plans with the latinum in season 3 episode 10 at the peldor joi festival??? When she gives him the advice to burn his problems?? She could helped Quark when he was being hunted down by morns old heist party in later seasons but ???? No??? Go off worm queen lol

Rapture

This is the one where Jake gets possessed by a Pah Wraith, right?

Fine, Netflix, don't work. I'll just watch it on Hulu then

It is a very pretty painting

Benjamin ❤

*puts up a billboard in the middle of town that has its latitude and longitude on it*

I really don't think a computer would be able to enhance an image of a painting of a reflection like that

Jake's cooking!!

Kas!

Kasidy got the same prison sentence for providing medical supplies that Garak got for attempted genocide??????

Worf's got jokes!

What does Peldor translate to if there's a Peldor Festival and you celebrate the Gratitude Festival by saying "peldor joy"?

Winn's not wrong. Granted, I'm a white American so I don't think I'm the best person to speak on it, but only five years out of colonial rule, I wouldn't judge anyone for having reservations about joining Space America

That's a way to say hello

Odo gets one turn on the valid telling Kira good luck dealing with Winn right in front of Winn

Winn, honey, you're great in this episode, but you did bomb a school. Maybe don't get too high up on your horse

This guy's wearing a tng uniform! I can understand not wearing the grey uniform, but you're two behind now, buddy

He's got a special interest, admiral, leave him alone

Oh, speaking of the uniform change, now's a good time to mention I believe the theory that Julian just took a dead guy's uniform in the prison camp and was kidnapped in between episodes, not that the changeling gave Ben brain surgery

The locusts are colonialism? They're leaving Bajor after the Occupation and going to Cardassia for the Dominon Occupation?

Is this the episode where Jake gets possessed? I can't remember

One of the many problems with kiraodo and the only problem with kiradax is I can't see her dating anyone who doesn't believe in the Prophets

Ah, the locusts are colonialism

Jake's a baby, he shouldn't have to make this decision. Space Skype Joseph or something

Jake's so much taller than Kasidy!

It's not the episode where Jake gets possessed! Guess Winn gets two turns on the valid!

I love Benjamin, and this episode gives so much more depth to Winn. 10/10

Peldor joi, Emissary During the Bajoran Gratitude Festival, bateret leaves are traditionally burned, and participants write their problems on renewal scrolls which are then burned so that their troubles symbolically turn to ashes. As the scrolls burn, may our troubles turn to ashes with them

[vintageandroid]

DS9 showed some restraint actually

Why did they never have a Christmas Carol episode of DS9? (Only instead of Christmas it's the Bajoran Peldor festival of gratitude) Quark is Scrooge, obviously Brunt, FCA is Marley Rom is Cratchett (and thus Nog is Tiny Tim) Sisko plays the role of Fred (Scrooge's nephew) by asking Quark to hang out Julian (and Garak) are the charity collectors for the Bajoran orphans Jadzia is the ghost of Peldor past Odo is old Fezziwig Grilka is Belle Lwaxana Troi is the ghost of Peldor present Morn is the ghost of Peldor future Kira and O'Brien are the ones talkin' shit about dead Quark Jake is the kid who buys the turkey at the end

PROPHETS BLESS US, EVERYONE

So what, did nobody else notice Bareil was trying to propose to Kira in Fascination, or something?

Hear me out: he comes to the station to see Kira, during the Peldor festival - a festival of new beginnings - and tells her he's looking forward to spending time together, and hopes they'll be able to start some new traditions of their own. But, she runs out on him, to make preparations with Dax.

Later, when the Xanthi Fever sinks in, he attempts to propose to Dax, with an ancestral betrothal bracelet, which has been in his family for generations. Which is really interesting, because Bareil lives on Bajor, and must have packed the bracelet for a specific reason - it's not something he bought from the shops on the Promenade.

And why? Because he planned to see his girlfriend, on a date of special significance - a new beginning - because he intended to propose, and start a new life with Kira. What other explanation is there?

Summary:  Happy Gratitude Festival from Garak and Bashir

Notes: I haven’t written for Trek in a while but hey. I think I did okay. Happy holidays.

Word Count: 360

Tagging: @agrippaspoleto @startreksecretsanta for the ST gift exchange~

Despite having experienced the Festival for half a decade, Bashir was always learning something new about it. 

“I’m pretty sure it’s part of the Festival itself to come up with new lore for it,” Garak said, in a conspiratorial tone of voice he often adopted when he actually wasn’t being serious. Or at least, that is what Bashir tended to believe. It was easier that way. 

In all honesty, Julian had stopped trying to figure out where Serious Garak began and where Joking Garak ended. 

The words “Peldor joi“ at least were a constant through the years, and a constant in the background. 

“And yet I’ve never heard that part of it,” Julian said as he pushed aside his drink and tried to ignore the scent of the burning Pateret leaves that permeated the station despite the station’s systems that were meant to scrub the air of such contaminants. 

“You finish writing down whatever problems a Federation doctor can have?” Garak asked, and Julian was jealous he didn’t seem affected by the smell in Quark’s. 

“Just the same problems I had last year, some reason they weren’t fixed in the interim.” 

“Ah yes, the supply issues again. Well, if I recall you did enjoy the prospect of being a frontier doctor. Frontier doctors don’t get proper supplies.” 

“It’s been over five years, Garak! And I’m pretty sure we’re no longer in the frontier.” 

“Maybe you just need to burn your problems a bit harder?” 

“I wasn’t aware tailors owned incinerators.” 

The smile that formed on Garak’s face probably could have scared someone else. As it was, Julian couldn’t help but smile back. 

“I am a man who can get his hand on quite a few things, you know that better than most, doctor.”

“Maybe you could use that skill to get me some non-stained saws.” 

Garak leaned back at that then smiled.

“Peldor joi, doctor.”

The scent of the leaves seemed to intensify as Garak got to his feet and walked away. Julian was pretty sure that was just a trick of the air currents.
