years after the war martok ends up writing the song about their escape. it’s fantastic. garak has never been more angry in his life

Thinking about drink symbolism in Deep Space Nine. The most famous, of course, is root beer, and how it serves as a shorthand for insidious Federation soft power; but then there's also kanar, which gets used to symbolize Damar's moral degradation; raktajino, which symbolizes getting to work / business as usual; bloodwine, which symbolizes the bond between Klingon warriors, and between Worf and O'brien; red-leaf tea, which seems to have connotations of smug Cardassian feelings of cultural superiority; scotch whisky, which emblemizes the friendship between Miles and Julian; probably others.

Raktajino, to me, symbolises just what DS9 is, when it's working right. It runs on Klingon coffee, an enormously popular drink invented by none of the current or former occupying powers, but rather some other guys hundreds of light years away, and even they didn't invent it they only riffed on it. Why? Because it's good. DS9 is where everyone goes to get what everyone's having, and does its best with everything it can get.

remember to bury the dead with a phone, everyone. these days the ferry terminal at the river styx wants you to download a fucking app

Let’s fucking go

Since doctor who is cancelled, it will mean that we will never see Rogue again...

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

Now that RTD is gone I think Ncuti should get a do over season

I mean. RTD wasn't responsible for the racism and homophobia Ncuti had to deal with from certain portions of the fandom as well as the general public. I'm not sure he'd want to go through all of that again, and I wouldn't wish it on him

Well, then.

The first time they meet Garak is immediately fantasing about taking Julian on a honeymoon to his beloved home country okay Garak

Good god who wrote that

Yum, very nice. Raktajino always symbolises multiculturalism to me. And a little of the accommodation of root beer. Rokassa juice is what kids drink when they’re off school sick.

Dont forget the gay symbolism and phallic imagery of that kanar bottle in 'The Wire'

Once seen never forgotten

Ive noticed this trend with queer characters lately where writers use martyrdom and self sacrifice as a way to use the bury your gays trope but at the same time say its not bury your gays because the character(s) chose it and i dont like it

*sigh* fine, fine, i'll be the new doctor who showrunner. bring me two twinks, britain's tallest woman, and 1000 pounds worth of alumininamian foil
