Sapphose on AO3

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”

stop medicalizing every person you don't vibe with

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

[4.30am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Doctor Bashir, I Presume” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the absence of Garak.

[5.30am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Inquisition” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the absence of Garak.

[5pm] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on work and go and watch “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the comparative absence of Garak.

[5am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Cardassians” so I can spend the rest of the day vaguely disgruntled at something or other.

This episode is obviously largely a lark, but is there anything sadder than that little Cardassian girl asking Garak of all people to take her back to Cardassia? Sweetheart, he can’t even take himself back. He’s just here to fix the computer and fuck around with Dukat en route to having a breakdown.

i love characters who are like oysters emotionally

as in you need a knife to get them to open up

garak is literally so funny. every time someone is like “hey aren’t you that spy” he goes “whaaaat 😉 of course not! 😏 that would be absurd 🤭 who said i was a spy?” and then julian is like “oh yeah he’s been teaching me how to be a spy”

sleep is stolen time. don't let them take it from you anymore. tonight. we are staying up. til one billion o clock.

Final results are in and this is absolutely the closest to a tie I've ever had a poll come! There are really interesting opinions and theories in the notes, I strongly encourage people to check them out.
