Una McCormack flawlessly pulling off the first known instance of Chekhov's Sofa
been thinking a lot lately about the existence of Siskoβs Creole Kitchen and what it means for 24th century Earth.
because on one hand, narratively, itβs an important piece of establishing the character of Benjamin Sisko - it tells us where he comes from and what kind of family raised him. the family restaurant situates him in a particular historical and cultural context by showing us that the Creole food he cooks on the station is something he and his son quite literally inherited and is part of a continuation of Creole culture in New Orleans centuries ahead of the here and now. it is the antithesis of Star Trekβs usual watered-down and whitewashed approach to various Earth cultures, where established characters of color are stripped of their culture in order to fit into the homogeneous Human.jpg box Star Trek likes to put its human characters in to contrast with the aliens of the week - all under the guise of equality. textbook allegorical storytelling. what sets Sisko apart from this tendency is that he is not just a Starfleet captain who happens to be Black, he is explicitly written as a Black American captain whose identity and family history is deeply rooted in the legacy of his ancestors. on this hand, Siskoβs Creole Kitchen is a vessel of cultural preservation.
and on a sort of different hand, Siskoβs Creole Kitchen is a very clear example of community-based food sovereignty on a post-capitalist Earth. on this Earth, Joseph serves his patrons without any expectation of compensation for his and his kitchen staffβs labor, which means that heβs likely not paying for anything that allows him to keep running the restaurant. might seem a bit contrary to the whole concept of a restaurant, but thatβs what iβm trying to get at, here.
in a future where every starship and probably most homes are equipped with replicators that can create pretty much anything for you, farms and restaurants and even the act of cooking might seem a bit redundant. so why continue those traditions at all?
well, the concept of a restaurant in the world of today is, essentially, to eat a meal that you donβt have to prepare for yourself, as well as for chefs to share cultural ties through food and creativity with others. itβs both a time-saver for consumers and a platform for culinary art. but it also commodifies food, the act of cultivating it, the act of consuming it and the act of making it.
in a post-scarcity society, where, presumably, no one is required to work long hours at the expense of their physical and mental health just to keep a roof over their head, everyone should, in theory, have enough time to put as much effort as they choose into preparing their own food. of course, cooking is not everybodyβs particular love or strong suit, so the appeal of restaurants as access to good, fresh food remains.
the fact that Siskoβs even exists is indicative of, once again, the act of cultural preservation and also of the necessity of establishments that feed their surrounding communities through a labor of love. the best reason to cook is because you love doing it and Joseph clearly values culinary artistry and the cultivation of fresh ingredients, so he must not only be supporting those who come to his restaurant but also those who fish, rear livestock, grow produce and those who help prepare them to be served. in this way, his restaurant could be a very direct system by which he keeps other foodways alive. and, again, presumably - because none of this is based on a system of currency or capital and food is not a product but a facet of the community - it's plausible and, in fact, necessary that all of this is done on the terms of those involved. so on that hand, Siskoβs Creole Kitchen is a cornerstone of food sovereignty on 24th century Earth.

So⦠I decked the halls. I caroled. I gifted presents to men to cover up the presents of other men. I am an accessory to merriment. But the most jolly thing of all⦠I think I can live with it.
unfortunately i do go a little wild every time I can see garak's or odo's hair come out of its stiff gelled back look, which is why the episode when garak is trying to bomb a planet and gets his ass handed to him and the episode where odo is slowly dying of exposure on a mountain are both porn to me.

I have this hc that Cardassians collected Bajoran tails as trophies and used amputation as a further way to terrorize the Bajoran population.
Tails of (prominent) resistance members who were caught/killed were displayed publically. Some Cardassians collected as many different colors/fur patterns as they could.
Kai Winn was in a Cardassian prison camp for 5 years, and was canonically beaten repeatedly for practicing her faith. It is not a far leap from that to the Cardassians amputating her tail to try to make her lose her faith. I also have a little hc that they would cut off (part of) religious leaders' ears to remove the ability to feel their Pagh.
I love the concept of Bajorans with tails but that of course also gives the Cardassians more ways to hurt them :')
Looking at this now the Ro Laren design seems to fall a bit outside the topic but idc bc she!!!
One day I will write down all my Bajoran/Kira headcanons bc my head is very full
Julian Bashir is the perfect modern bisexual twink: spends most of his late 20's pining after an unattainable transgender woman before settling down with an older man who used to work for the CIA.

Everyone talks about the Bajoran space ship as proof that Sisko belongs in a hardware store but no one mentions that time he got possessed by a ghost who showed him clock blueprints and the first thing he did after preventing destruction of the station was build the clock. He was so excited.
Not enough goth Cardassians I think
i really do want to see what the alpha quadrant yelp reviews for quark's bar are like. do they fuck with him. does he get 100% negative reviews from bajorans for working for cardassians

I was informed this was a family establishment, but to my suprise my young sons were exposed to absolute DEPRAVITY! I wanted to take them to witness gambling and how to profit off it, but the females attending were FULLY CLOTHED! To add on to that, I heard the waiters mentioning the uni*n word in front of my children! I will not be returning.

even the forces of two wars blowing through the station this bar is located in wasn't enough to dislodge the stickiness off the tables that probably was there since terok nor. two stars because the dabo girls were nice to me
