Sisko at the Disco 2.0

Now in gif form

Sisko at the Disco

[mistylacrimosa]

I know jack shit about baseball but this the best filler episode on all tv and i can prove it:

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Exhibit C:

Need I say more? I don't think so

[hrshl-soong-laforge]

Sisko ma dude, you're working, stop flirting with the pretty captain.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

Jim Kirk would beat up William Shatner in a 7-11 parking lot

Jean-Luc Picard and Patrick Stewart would write non-fiction bestsellers together

Benjamin Sisko would have Avery Brooks over for dinner, cook him the best meal of his life, and they'd talk animatedly about racial justice until 2am and then say "so, same time next year?"

Kate Mulgrew and Kathryn Janeway would go on a coast-to-coast road trip and take a selfie kissing in front of the world's largest ball of yarn

Gul dukat funniest character on tv actually. he's all "my 11 year old son who i'm emotionally neglecting will blame YOU for me neglecting him sisko" and then in the next episode he sits in sisko's chair and plays around with his ball and giggles to himself writing mr. dukat-sisko in his diary over and over like fiona in shrek

[tboyautism]

dukat: ah! captian sisko. it seems like you have seized cardassia by the balls once again. if only we were on the same side. cardassia cluld use a man like you

sisko: ah but dukat, cardassia has no balls, on the fact that the federation removed them. you are out numbered out played and outballed. and the question is. what now?

julian in the back of ops (he isnt supposed to be there):

[searchingforserendipity25]

fascinated by the possibility of a surge of augment panic in the news and in screening texts (jack makes the news?) causing julian not to follow a medical or starfleet career.

a couple of suspected or confirmed augments are identified in positions of influence, federation representatives and famous athletes and maybe, yes, a successful researcher or two.

there are breaking news cases; there are trials, charges of treason and fraud mostly. desperate chases, family turning in family. self-administered falls from the great heights of government buildings. suspicious deaths in custody.

julian bashir keeps going to school. julian bashir fails a number of assignments, drops out of spring ball and manages to get mild but persistent bad habits at tennis thing after another. perhaps a little too fast, and even that could be suspicious, but the bashirs for once all agree - it would be more suspicious to move planets now.

too many burned trails, too many burned bridges. it is a momentous time for him, a terrible time.

he still leaves home as soon as possible. leaves earth as soon as possible; that's where most augments have been found, and where suspicion is highest, prejudice strongest. better to stick to outer space, the frontier. better not to stick out. find something discreet to do, low-profile.

unexceptional. that is the word, always.

mr. bashir, federaji civilian, makes his way to the bajoran station of deep space nine. technically not federation territory; a liminal place, and not an easy one to make a living. and it's no illegal, in bajoran space, for augmented individuals to start a business, hold a lease, own property.

bashir's books and holos appears one day to the next. a small place, tucked in between the tailor's and the klingon eatery. rows of bajoran scrolls and andorians carved tables and trill holopuzzles, old hardback books. lines and lines of isolinear rods, nestled carefully by genre.

some of them not quite permitted in every corner of the quadrant, but goodness, what's life without a little bit of censured literature?

he's fond of the censured authors, mr. bashir. a sentimental man, mr. bashir, head half-caught in the clouds most of the time. whoever decides to travel the quadrant collecting books, really? the federation must be truly a great boring idyll, if its people are so desperate for escapism as that.

sisko looks into it; odo looks into it. there's not much to see. well, nothing bad, really; probably starfleet can turn a blind eye, if any dissident speeches make their way beneath the counter, as long as they're cardassian and romulan and klingon dissident texts.

but mostly his is only a narrow shop, a place for the open-minded with a few attempts at soirées every once in a while - a recital by a resistance poet here, a book signing there.

there's a book club, as well, which takes some time to find its feet but becomes a station staple once lieutenant dax decides to befriend him.

well. two book clubs, really. but whatever goes on at lunch between storefront neighbors with a passion for the literary is really no one's business, is it?

ds9 a plot sisko and worf are forced to weigh the life of a pow over their own

ds9 b plot O'Brien is turned in to a pig human hybrid and forced to dance on a small ball for the entertainment of a godlike alien

[andyoullhearitagain]

Ok come on a journey with me.

So in "Take Me Out To The Holosuite" they all sign this baseball for Sisko, right? And clearly they had all the actors sign the ball for the character (cute) because frankly no prop department would miss the opportunity to use their alien scripts. I'll buy that Worf usually writes his name in Klingon but was like "oh everyone signed in Standard I guess I'll sign in Standard." But even if Quark can write his name in Standard (for business purposes, sure, I'll buy that) I just don't see him drawing the little ears on the Q! Quark isn't afraid of a little whimsy but I think he's just too toxicly masculine to draw a little picture in his signature. And we've seen Ferengi writing and have even seen Quark's name:

(I would have liked it a lot better if the baseball had the alien names in the alien alphabets but w/e)

So either

a. Quark is like, pfft, these aren't real letters, might as well draw a little picture (maybe?)

or

b. Someone who speaks Standard wrote it for him and drew the little ears. But who? Jake? Something to consider.

Heres a few from star treks baseball episode - ds9 take me out to the holosuite

Generally I feel nothing and know nothing of contemporary baseball. However, nothing can compete with the bliss of seeing a fictional character in one of those funny, archaic-looking uniforms. Truly a strange and wonderful cultural object. "Baseball episode" is the best episode trope there is.

Feel free to add your own favorite examples of this. I love to see funny baseball.

Siskarak bodyswap fic/au - this popped into my head and I had to send it to you in case I forget later, I don't yet have any notion of what it could entail (other than garak being a menace) but I'm going to sleep on it and hopefully have some ideas by the time I come back

as always I would love to hear your take ^_^

-siskarak babytrap anon

Hiii! What a great ask!

I feel like first of all Sisko is NOT letting Garak out of his sight for even a second, for fear that Garak might impersonate him and cause mayhem by assuming the authority of either the Captain or the Emissary.

So this lack of trust means they have to share a bed for the duration, OBVIOUSLY. At some point Garak gets a boner in Sisko’s body and is like hmm so this is interesting what do you want me to do about this, and Sisko rolls his eyes and gives him a handjob to prevent garak from doing anything himself (he imagines that maybe Cardassians use their nails/claws or something when touching themselves or squeeze way too hard, and doesn’t want to get his body back just to discover that his cock and balls have been demolished in an overeager masturbation accident). Garak returns the favor too when Sisko gets (reluctantly) turned on by the situation and everts 🥰

Would love to hear your thoughts too!

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS

I've come to make an announcement. Benjamin Sisko is a bitchass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking space station. That's right, he took his Starfleet fucking bald dick out, and he pissed on my fucking space station, and he said his dick was t h i s b i g. And I said "that's disgusting," so I'm making a callout post on my Empok Nor security system. Benjamin Sisko, you got a small dick. It's the size of this starship except way smaller. And guess what? Here's what my dong looks like. That's right, baby, all scales, no pips, no pillows, look at that it looks like two balls and a bottle of kanar. He fucked my space station, so guess what? I'm gonna fuck Bajor, that's right, this is what you get, MY SUPER LASER PISS! Except I'm not gonna piss on Bajor, I'm gonna go higher. I'm pissing on the WORMHOLE. How do you like that, Kai Opaka? I pissed on the wormhole, you idiot! You have twenty-six hours before the piss drrroppllets hit fucking Bajor, now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too.

for the ST ask game – either the TNG or Voyager crew and who would be the best to worst at playing baseball in a Take Me Out To the Holosuite style episode

I love this question so I’ll do both!

TNG:

Data: He loves playing games with really specific rules and he has super strong physical abilities. Including him almost feels like cheating though, and he might think so too. I can see him being the umpire like Odo was in DS9. I think he would greatly enjoy that as well.

Guinan: This seems exactly like the kind of random thing she’d be unexpectedly really good at, and she did live on Earth for a long time so it’s entirely possible she’s already played the game and gotten really good at it.

Tasha: Really athletic and competitive and would clearly do well.

Beverly: She’s athletic and a good team player. Baseball doesn’t really seem like her kind of sport, but I still think she’d be very competent at it.

Worf: Technically he was in the DS9 episode, but he’s still a TNG main so I’m ranking him here. He’s pretty good at baseball.

Riker: Another fairly good baseball player, and I could see him getting competitive and taking it very seriously too.

Deanna: I think she’d be a pretty average player, not notably bad or good.

Geordi: He doesn’t seem like he’d be that into sports, plus I’m not sure how accessible baseball would be for him with his visor. As a visually disabled person who has technically attempted to play baseball myself, it’s very hard to play without normal vision. That ball is so tiny and moves so fast. (I made an extremely ill-advised attempt to bat in a school PE class. The ball did not hit me in the face but it was a close thing.) I can see an argument that Geordi’s visor might also be an advantage, though, if he can use it to track things like speed, in which case he’d be much higher on this list.

Wesley: He’d try his best, but he really doesn’t seem like he’d enjoy team sports.

Picard: I cannot picture Picard playing baseball. It’s not even that he’s not athletic, his existence as a character just feels in every way antithetical to the concept of baseball. If TNG had a baseball episode, he would somehow find a way to avoid participating, unless of course he was forced to by Q or something. He would hate it very much.

Voyager:

Janeway: Put in a similar situation as the original DS9 episode, I think Janeway would be just as competitive as Sisko, plus she has strong athletic skills. Baseball doesn’t seem like her kind of sport exactly, but she would make it work.

Chakotay: A sports person and generally athletic. I think he’d have a good time.

Tuvok: He could be good at baseball, the question is whether he would take it seriously. I think if it was framed as a tactical exercise and there was some genuine incentive to beat the other team he would do an extremely competent job.

The Doctor: I had a huge amount of difficult ranking him. In theory, he has the capability of being the best player, but he seems to have little interest in physical hobbies (which makes sense for his character and situation), so I don’t know if he would take it seriously. It might theoretically make sense for him to be the umpire. I do think he would like getting to be the final arbiter of all the rules and yelling at everyone so I think he’d go for it.

B’Elanna: She’d be a fairly competent player, but I don’t think she’d enjoy the game very much. She’s more of a solo sports person.

Harry: Baseball doesn’t seem at all like his kind of thing, but he’d try his best and be fairly decent at it.

Seven: She would claim to find the situation ridiculous but actually become super competitive. She has strong physical abilities, but her real downfall is that she would just be really bad at team sports. She would absolutely get kicked out of the game for breaking the rules.

Tom: I can see Tom liking baseball (it actually makes a lot of sense given his 20th century America obsession), I just don’t think he’d be good at it. I think it might actually be really funny if Tom claimed to be an expert at it and then was just absolutely terrible at actually playing.

Kes: I just don’t think she would be interested.

Neelix: He would try his best, but I think the rules would seem silly to him and he’d have trouble learning all of them and then get kicked out of the game for doing something wrong accidentally.

The Boimler Boogie is good, but can I offer The Boimler Butt Wiggle?

It's Sisko Wiggle Wednesday
