He's like an anime girl to me

Sisko definitely manipulated Kasidy's cargo run schedule just to have her play baseball. He promised he wouldn't do that anymore, but I know in my bones that he did it. And he can live with it.

DS9 really did stumble onto the best cast members for emerging online fandom, didn't they? Rene and Andrew must have blown UP the messageboards.

the only time it was actually funny and entertaining when a "ship" was "confirmed" by someone who worked on the show was when someone asked rene auberjonois at a panel what the nature of quark and odo's relationship was and he replied "sexual." without elaboration

@garaks-padded-bra told me to post it

He has an aura to him previously only seen in depictions of Mary holding baby Jesus

[abigmessofablog]

was thinking about Julian "Jules Bashir died, you killed him!" Bashir and Elim "I once had a friend named Elim" Garak again and eventually got to thinking that Julian at least has Kukalaka as a tether to his child self, to "Jules." It's like the one facet of his past identity that he really holds on to and how it's kinda sad that Garak doesn't have something like that

And then I got to really thinking about it. Garak's Kukalaka is just the entire concept of Cardassia, isn't it? His dedication and constant praise to Cardassia as this idealized version of his home is the thing that he holds on to from his days as "Elim." I mean you can argue that the persona he puts on with the whole "A spy???? Who, meee????? Noooooo ;)" bit is his tether to his "Elim" identity but those two things are linked. The idea that Garak holds onto the concept of Cardassia the same way someone holds onto their childhood teddybear is just very striking to me. Except he can't literally hold onto it and take comfort in it the same way because. It's a concept. You can't hold a concept. It's not real.

Bajoran clapping is superior. It allows you to clap for longer without hurting your palms because you can alternate back and forth.

And Quark there is doing the Ferengi clap, which is otherwise known as sending an invoice.

Tamarian: Garak, grovelling in a corner

English: One who lives a life of violence and oppression might incorrectly identify with their former prey.

So what do we think Cardassia looks like? All we ever really see is a big city in important government areas. What about where the labouring people live? What are their desserts like? Does the sky go funky colours-during the day, is it even blue? What colour is the water?

My head canon is that Cardassia is really colourful when we get away from the government areas. I guess that's because when Garak is describing his time on Romulus he says it's grey. He must be used to more colour. Does Cardassia have lots of open air markets with colourful fabric canopies? Does Cardassia use colourful tiles on older buildings? I imagine the labouring class in the country living in older cottages which still have colourful artistic tiling on them.

And are the desserts like what we have on Earth? Sure there would be lots of yellow, orange and red toned sands, but it's another planet, They must have other colours too. Imagine a dessert the colour of rose quartz, or purple, or blue.

Imagine Garak taking Bashir on their first holiday out of the city after they've been rebuilding for a while. He picks the blue dessert because it's scenic, but it isn't all that unusual for Cardassia. And Bashir is just astonished by the blue sand.

I'm curious what other people think about what Cardassia looks like! We never really get to explore worlds as much as we would like.
