The Symbolism Of Garak Being An Assassin Who Has Taken Many Lives And Bashir Forgiving Him For It.

Something I picked up on while rewatching “Little Green Men” S4:E7

When the humans go to greet the Ferengi and we see that their UT’s aren’t working and they all do the head bangy thing Rom and Nog only do it to one side of their head with one hand while Quark uses both hands and hits both sides of his head/both his ears

And when we turn and see the humans copying them all the men copy Rom and Nog and only use one hand, but the lady copy’s Quark and uses both her hands, and only later when Quark switches to use just one hand does she follow and they all use one hand.

Again later in the episode the nurse and her fiancée have a conversation about the three of them possibly being family. They correctly identify Rom and Nog as being father and son but then she points out that Quark could be the mother to which he immediately agrees, switches pronouns, and calls Quark out saying, “If she is the mother, she’s quite a shrew.”

Idk if I had a genuine point to all this aside from a shout out to this legend of a couple and specifically nurse Garland for recognizing the pure feminine energy radiating off of Quark at all times.

Side note: Love that she absolutely clocks Quark's “My hero” moment towards Odo with that look on her face, meanwhile her fiancé is just freaking out trying to wrap his mind around whatever the hell Odo is in the background

Genuinely believe they'd start barking if someone got too flirty or touchy with their cat-coded boyfriends <3 Then just smile and nuzzle them close like nothing ever happened, meanwhile Sam and Cas are like "TF was that???"

If the fandom agreed with me on the idea that it does not matter what they look like they'd act like in a relationship, Dean & Gabriel would follow their boyfriends Castiel & Sam like dogs and absolutely would follow them any time they leave a room no matter why. Gabriel would even whine if Sam was going to the bathroom and didn't let him in. Dean would hover if Castiel made food and practically beg for some. Like he'd start doing tricks.

Can the world agree with me I think this'd be a nice little tidbit

For the public's consideration:

i love midam sharing a body. i cannot get enough of it. its honestly one of my major dislikes when an author has them in seperate bodies.

no shame to anyone who does like them in seperate bodies, but it is so not for me.

like. that is THEIR body. its THEIR house.

youre telling me, after like 1200 years in the cage, where they were each others only solstice, they arent just a little codependent. they arent just a little bit nervous whenever they're seperate. that they dont find inherent safety and comfort in being able to feel each other's essence at all times.

and thats even before they were forcibly ripped apart by chuck. i cant even fathom how much worse it is after.

I need all the Destiel tiktokers to stop using the Dangerously Yours audios to edits of them, please its hurts too much i can't I'm crying I'm begging I'm sobbing please-

I wake up to rant about my favourite little guys to only find out that everyone else is asleep✌️😔

Your activism shouldn't start and end at drawing your blorbos with a watermelon

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Crazy how in the "Facets" episode they made Quark take on the motherly feminine host and Odo got Curzon the notoriously masc womanizer who later actually A. Grabs Quark's genitals B. Lip kisses him and C. Flusters Quark to the point he loses his balance and goes non-verbal. Wonder what they were trying to imply here. Hmmm.
