Obviously Dukat's continued predation on Bajorans is all flavours of deply fucked up but the moment when he ad-libs the "Ah.... It's a miracle!" when the cultist's child turns out to he half-Cardassian is so absurdly funny. You can see his face fall for one moment when he realizes he fucked up real good this time. When he realizes everyone will see what he did the best that he can come up with is "let's all kill ourselves real quick". A true master of improvisation. Always 10 steps ahead.

misread this as justin bieber and was very confused for a minute

Julian Bashir is the perfect modern bisexual twink: spends most of his late 20's pining after an unattainable transgender woman before settling down with an older man who used to work for the CIA.

4.10 • “Homefront” STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993-1999)

So, here we have a saying that goes "Brazilians need to be studied by NASA". It's due to many things, but mostly because of our passive skill: Gambiarra, aka, Advanced Red Neck Engineering.

So, I was thinking, how would the head of engineering of each Star Trek series react to having a Brazilian engineer (because an engineering degree can't stop the Gambiarras. They'll actually become better with it.) in their territory?

Scotty would drink with them, and creates a policy of "if I can't fix it, bring in the Brazilian". He doesn't touch the Gambiarras, and actually likes some of them better than the way the ship was originally designed. When questioned (most likely be Spock), he just says "we're light years from anything else, laddie. You expecting an inspector or something?" Then proceeds to take a swing of a bottle of cachaça.

Geordi, the perfect By-the-book engineer, would be running after them, trying to "fix" their Gambiarras, only to be told not to touch them or something else, that is completely unrelated, will explode. He learns that lesson the hard way, and never again touches anything with a clear Gambiarra. He's still surprised that some have lasted so long (irl, it's normal to find some that are 10+ years old because they just work better)

O'Brian loves them. Living in DS9 and having to engineer a way to make Cardassian and Federation technology work together? They're besties. They're often at Quarks (who disgruntlely learnt to make an actually good Caipirinha), and trying to figure out how to make things work out. The one time O'Brien freaked out, was when his pet Brazilian went on a space walk to fix a docking port, and their suit was 80% tape. They were grounded after that and O'Brien got Keiko to give them a "disappointed Asian mom" glare, the one thing capable of stopping them, in the lack of a Latina mom holding a Havaiana (/Chancla)

B'Ellana is kinda like Geordi, but she's not intimidated by the eventual explosion. She tried to fix every single one "the right way", and only stopped when removing the Gambiarra that was, somehow, keeping the Holodecks working also, somehow, disconnected the sonic showers. After that, she gave them a deadline. Any Gambiarra should be gone within the week. They were actually there for months at a time, and she didn't exactly complain.

Trip is happy to have them there. Someone who can fix a ship with nothing more than a wrench, some bubblegum and tape? That's his dream come true. They keep the shuttlepods functional, and have put a recipe for Brazilian coffee and Caipirinha on the drink replicator. Somehow, the coffee always tastes better when they're the one ordering it, and they have a collection of a specific kind of glass that they'll drink everything from. However, they're the chef's worst nightmare, because they're extremely picky on how their food should be prepared Brazilian style (aka, lots of onion and garlic, well salted and with rice and beans for their lunch every day.)

I love to hate him

I love when a DS9 character gets stuck in a situation with Dukat where they have to work together and then Dukat thinks they're friends now and at the end he's like "so glad we're cool now" and the other person looks at him like he's insane and is like "bro I fucking hate you" it's so great to see him put down over and over

Matching outfits part II. ✨

For the funsies I tried to imagine what jewelry that mimicks Cardassian scale/ridge patterns for Julian might look like. 🌞

With each episode of DS9 I watch, I'm more and more convinced this shows subtitle should have been "Starfleet's most complicated polycule".

Lot of people talk about Cardassians with slit pupils, and Garak looking like A Fool with them dilating at Bashir and this is wonderful!

But I posit: Frilled Cardassians who spread their frill at the smallest surprises and indignation.
