@3to5secondrush replied to your photo “he’s coming back to the nhl next year, but he signed with the wild...”

Aww :{ I have mixed feelings about this - the Wild is my local team, so that's my only consolation. (I wish I could say I found them as endearing as the Pens!) We'll try to treat you right Cully ;__;

i eat turkey bacon allll the time. such good shit

yeahhhhh glad it went well dude!!

Thanks! Me too!

 I can’t believe I didn’t remember to put...

good shit op ;)

I think I saw you mention somewhere that you were studying Japanese Vyc, and though my Japanese is super rusty I guess a similar comparison would be ’-san’ versus ’-sensei’ though I don’t know how broadly ‘sensei’ is used outside of doctors and teachers? Anyway I’d really be interested in any rambling about titles or honorific suffixes you might have :) all I can think of is ’-lin’ for an endearment of sorts (if I’m remembering *that* right, haha).

Hiya! Thanks for this lovely PM–and good on you for remember that I (Vyc) am on-and-off studying Japanese!

You’re right in that Kardasi currently only has -lin as a honourific suffix. Most of its honourific words are appended to the front of a person’s name like in English. There’s also i’, an honourific prefix that I neglected to add to the dictionary. Here’s a list of what we currently have:i'ruxt (Ms/Miss/Mrs)i'duxt (Mr)i'ces (Mx)s'h'iosr'ha (Doctor, courtesy of prairiecrow)parmani (guardian of children)jasi (other person who is superior in social status to me)atsi (other person who is inferior in social status to me)te’alakec (teacher)peld’kec (professor, rendered as “Inquisitor” by the Universal Translator)garac (approximately a defence attorney, rendered as “Nestor” by the Universal Translator)ja-ketUntgat (prefect)ja-kal-jonak (chief magistrate)kal-jonak (magistrate, rendered as “Archon” by the Universal Translator)ketUntgat (provincial leader of Kardassia’s colonies, rendered as “Exarch” by the Universal Translator)kUruntefkec (approximately a prosecutor)

And the military ranks, which I’m still pinning down but are currently:

jagat (rendered as “Legate” by the Universal Translator)jagul (commodore; general)gul (captain)dal (commander)dalin (lieutenant commander)glinn (lieutenant)gil/kel (ensign)garrec (crew member)

Most of these didn’t make the dictionary, as I’m thinking about making a separate document for specifically cultural words and concepts that don’t translate easily out of Kardasi.

As for how you’d use them as titles, most of them follow the format of [Title] [Name], similar to the use of Gul Dukat in DS9, or Parmani IThas, to pick a name at random. You can also combine i’ with civilian titles, like i’kal-jonak, or “Madame Archon” in the episode “Tribunal.”

Will there be more honourific suffixes? Probably! @tinsnip and I just haven’t discussed them yet.

when or if I started shipping it: somewhere in season 2 i think, maybe earlier I don’t remember the specific episode i started shipping it but I recall thinking huh I’m totally femslash trash why haven’t I started shipping Kira and Dax and then I started picking up on how much chemistry they had and then there I was. 

my thoughts: They are honestly so great together, Kira is my absolute favorite ds9 character and I really love Dax and I love their little holosuite dates and overall very very cute.

What makes me happy about them: Their adorable smiles for each other and how Kira hated holosuites and would only enter one with Dax and yeah they are very cute

What makes me sad about them: Knowing it will never happen and just thinking about how much angst Kira probably has about romance in general. 

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I haven’t read any star trek fanfic

Things I look for in fanfic: same 

My kinks: ???? wtf

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Well I haven’t actually finished ds9 but Bariel and Kira were nice though now he’s dead I don’t really have any other ships for Kira. Jadzia and Lenara were really great together so I would be super happy if that happened but I’m also ok with Worf and Dax.
