best to worst ds9 characters to gossip with
quark’s is literally the ground zero of gossip on ds9, he knows the most embarrassing holosuite program everyone’s gooned to, the sloppiest shit they’ve done while drunk, and he will tell anyone ANY of it for the right price
like quark, he knows everything about everyone (but not because he's a spy or anything!!! he's just a humble tailor!), but unlike quark, he also has DiscretionTM, and when he does spill the tea, it's out of sheer love of the game. That said, the gossip sessions he has with quark whenever he comes in to get one of his goofy ass outfits tailored are legendary
she loves gossip, she loves drama, she LOVES shit-stirring, but no one ever picks up on it bc she’s cool and everyone loves her, so they tell her EVERYTHING. However, the Dax symbiont does mean she sometimes has a hard time recognizing when the tea is ice cold and there have been multiple times Kira’s had to interrupt one of her stories like “jadzia. I don’t know who any of these people are” “oh yeah, they all died 200 years ago” “😒”
he hates gossip bc it’s dishonorable, but he also hates keeping secrets. Because it’s dishonorable. it’s 50/50 in any given situation if worf is going to spill the tea or not, but when he does, it’s SO worth it
he's got the dirt on everybody, but his sense of justice keeps him from sharing any of it. Unless it involves quark, talking shit about quark is always morally justified
undisputed king of blurting out shit that was SUPPOSED to be a secret at the worst possible moment. No one tells him shit because of it, but 1. He’s a doctor and 2. He’s smart, so he picks up a good amount anyway
this bitch is in everybody’s business but she doesn’t really spread gossip unless she HATES the person she’s talking about and if Kira hates you, you’re probably less worried about gossip than like. her murdering you with a pipe bomb
like bashir, he would also blurt out shit that was supposed to be a secret at inopportune times, but unlike bashir, he actually doesn't know any secrets, so it’s fine
he's the last person on the station to hear about anything ever, and even if he did, he would take it to the grave
