me when a well characterized m/f ship that doesn’t downplay the girl’s depth and doesn’t get unnecessarily bashed by fans who prefer a shitty m/m ship with two boring white guys gets popular: awesome

"Worf and Jadzia are the queerest straight couple in this show full of queer straight couples" my friend didn't understand that but I said it so confidently that she nodded looking very scared. Then I tried to explain it but I think I made it worse

Before we drift away: a commemoration of Jadzia's passing into Sto'Vo'Kor

[antiqua-lugar]

wondering if, had garashir been canon, they would have made a whole episode about intercultural&interspecies relationships considering the majority of main couples of the show would have been in one - Kira/Odo, Dax/Worf, Rom/Leeta and Bashir/Garak with Quark also having been in a serious relationship with Natima Lang plus the Grillka thing (also Miles and Keiko are both humans in Starfleet but both are very attached to their human cultures).

Like I feel they only touched briefly upon it in Ferengi Love Songs (and Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places) and despite the premise if just ends with Rom finding a loophole around Ferengi culture and it's more about his issues with his first marriage than anything else truly Ferengi.

Also then Bashir joining Garak on Cardassia would have paralleled Odo leaving Kira and I just made myself sad thinking about it.

ANYWAY

Worf and Jadzia sketch 'cause fuck I'm dying but I just watched the Risa episode and i think theyr'e pretyy...

[free-ds9-fic-ideas]

Fic idea: For some reason Dax gets separated from Jadzia and once her health is stable Worf is worried whether it was only Dax who loved him and how it would affect his relationship with Jadzia (angst or fluff you choose). Basically AU where "Invasive Procedures" took place after "Looking for Par'Mach...". Bonus if there is some introspection into how joined Trills perceive romantic attraction.    — @deepspaceclawstation

This is the most valid post ever made

okay i know that this thought is so in character for me that it verges on predictable, but consider: worfdax and kiradax polyamory. worf and nerys get to develop a beautiful friendship. jadzia gets to have her boyfriend AND her girlfriend. worf and nerys both get to take occasional breaks from the Overwhelming Dating Machine that is jadzia dax, but jadzia still gets to be the Overwhelming Dating Machine 24/7. everyone is happy.

Looking at WorfDax from a cishet perspective: This is a nice couple, I am normal about them.

Looking at at WorfDax from a queer perspective: I am so so so normal about them please I will not bite please

[antiqua-lugar]

if they are already in a relationship I just know that julian goes home at the end of looking for par'mach in all the wrong places being like "I can't believe anyone had the nerve to lecture me about how garak was dangerous"

i was thinking about ds9 ships in the shower. anyway the fundamental thing about worfdax is like. it could never have worked. they were just deeply incompatible people. also to be clear i'm specifically talking about jadzia here.

anyway the thing is that i like, totally buy that they got together, and even stayed together for a while. both worf and jadzia are prone to thinking with their dicks and i buy that they had sexual chemistry. like, worf has a certain melt-the-ice-queen charm about him and i can definitely imagine jadzia seeing him as a challenge. and jadzia definitely fits into a type worf has: expressive, powerful, quick, charming, clever, dangerous, larger-than-life, older or more well-established within their society than worf himself. a lot of the women worf has been attracted to have kind of fit this mold: k'ehleyr and grilka come to mind. you could even read a certain degree of homoerotic subtext into his interactions with garak in broken link, and garak definitely fits that bill. plus she's an icon to him, a hero, and that would definitely draw him to her. it might draw her to him, also, since it's nice to be admired and worshiped. plus they're both like, hot people, and on that grounds alone it makes sense that they're attracted to each other.

but in terms of personality they're simply not each other's type. while worf has certainly demonstrated an attraction towards people like jadzia over the course of his life, we've never really seen him develop meaningful relationships with them. instead, the strongest relationships we've seen him have are his friendships with dr. pulaski and guinan, which were both defined by them meeting him where he was at when other people would have brushed him off for being weird, and him responding to that with loyalty and respect, and his romance-friendship with troi, which involved something similar, plus her being gentle with him and him eventually opening up and giving his reserves of gentleness and earnestness back to her. and then jadzia just isn't compatible with worf at all. what jadzia wants is someone clever, someone who can keep up with her, a partner in crime. somebody to banter with and engage in repartee, someone fun. worf is plenty smart, but he's not clever, and he's weird and uptight and really bad in social situations. he's overly serious with very little sense of humor, and he's not a strong conversationalist. he definitely brings positive things to a relationship: earnestness, loyalty, devotion, care, as well as secret reserves of gentleness and love. but those aren't really things jadzia wants in a partner. they share an interest in klingon culture, but that's really it.

and it makes sense that they got together: we know for a fact that worf tries to marry everyone he fucks, even if he's only known them for like a week. that's canon he does that to k'ehleyr. and it also makes sense that their relationship fails in the ways it does: jadzia is rude and disrespectful because she has no reason to respect worf and little sympathy for his strangeness, and most importantly because she doesn't understand how seriously he takes what she means as lighthearted ribbing. worf is a controlling ass because he doesn't understand jadzia and can't bridge the gap without her help, and because it's a natural aspect of his personality that will come out in a relationship unless he has a partner who would effectively temper it by making him feel emotionally safe.

i act like i’m barely even a trekkie anymore, but this blog is still absolutely 100% a worfdax hatezone

[antiqua-lugar]

AND NOW QUARK SHOWED UP

yeah these are definitely the people I want dating advice from: the augmented human doctor involved with a ex cardassians spy who flirts through riddles, the criminal ferengi bartender with a weird "will they won't they" love-hate relationship with the changeling cop, the trill symbiont who only marries people who could beat her in a fight (either the only russian jewish klingon in starfleet or the ex bajoran freedom fighter apply)

actually when you put it like that I definitely want dating advice from these people if they can make it work who can't

I mean of course Sisko would ask Dax for dating advice but Jadzia and Julian pulling this "omg bestie what did you do" double act is killing me

[autisticandroids]

actually when will worf and martok mutually white knight each other from their bad, Shitty relationships
