doesn't anybody ever get it right?

I love that Kira is bad at playing. I love that she makes bad art and doesn't know how to play pretend with jadzia. That she fails at everything feminine. I love that she doesn't know how to relax. My beautiful princess who never got to grow up and is still figuring it out. Like eldest daughter syndrome on steroids. My favouritest girl with everything wrong with her.

I’ve seen a post talking about Deep Space Nine being pre-9/11 show and I’ve never felt that more than Kira talking to Tom Riker and literally going “dude you’re so bad at being a terrorist, you don’t have that dog in you, if I was in your shoes right now I would’ve been murdering everyone I could because I was a an effective terrorist and that’s what an effective terrorist would do”, and it’s not presented as Kira being evil or unhinged, she’s just making a (correct!) observation about the situation.

sometimes I see people put kira into the “tiny but mighty” character category and say “she’s small but full of rage !!!” and I just feel the need to gently remind everyone she actually isn’t small. nana visitor is a whole 5’8 (~172cm). everyone else in the cast are just giants so she ends up looking short but she’s not!!! she is objectively tall herself!!!
