â Donnie Darko (2001) Donnie:Â I promise that one day, everythingâs gonna be better for you.
ever since i found out that peter capaldi auditioned to be sisko ive been desperate to see his version of the "in the pale moonlight" speech. avery brooks did it best but still i know capaldi would have acted his heart out on that. he plays guilt and pent up anger so well he would have been perfect. somebody that still has a twitter tell him we need this
^^^ People have probably seen this before, but thereâs an audition call sheet for the UK casting they did: Peter Capaldi, Anthony Head, Keith Allen, Ralph Brown (of Withnail & I fame), Peter Firth, Pip Torrens (Tommy Lascelles in the Crown) are all there for Sisko...
ANTHONY HEAD !!....!!!!
Also, I think this is alternative Bashir. Not 100% sure because the actor hasnât done much since and then went on to be a director/ teacher at RADA... but itâs the name on IMDb and, lets face it, this photo does sort of scream â FRONTIER MEDICINE with no clue what Iâm doing and oh crap, Iâm in love with a lizardâ.
I cant with this

On December 6th 1989, fourteen young women, many of them engineering students, were murdered in the mass shooting at Montrealâs EĚcole Polytechnique that was prompted by the killerâs hatred of women and what he said was âfighting feminismâ. Â On December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we remember: GenevieĚve Bergeron HeĚleĚne Colgan Nathalie Croteau Barbara Daigneault Anne-Marie Edward Maud Haviernick Maryse LaganieĚre Maryse Leclair Anne-Marie Lemay Sonia Pelletier MicheĚle Richard Annie St-Arneault Annie Turcotte Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz
Sisko is awesome. Heâs a quiet, one man 24th Century equal access revolution. Heâs the Captain who:
Wrote a letter of recommendation to allow the first (and only) Ferengi to join Starfleet
Had the first (and only) Klingon in Starfleet as his Commander. AT THE TIME that it seemed very likely the Federation and the Klingons were about to go to war.
Pulled strings to keep the first (and only) openly Augmented Officer in Starfleet from losing his commission and kept him on as his Doctor even though he was illegal. ALL WHILE never once mentioning that Bashir had lied to him for five years.
Had the only Changeling in the quadrant as his Chief of Security. AT THE SAME TIME as there was a mass-panic about Changelings and the Federation were at war with them. AND never once suggested Odo try and become more humanoidâŚ
Half of his senior staff are exceptions. He supports them quietly and, presumably, behind the scenes defends their right to be there, mostly without them knowing it. Sisko rocks.
Aged up Garak and Bashir because I was playing around with how to do a cheap, cheerful & quick way to do Deep Fake videos but with gifs. Really simple to do, you just have to find an image that itâll work for.
1.) Put through still image from DS9 or another show actors are in through FaceApp and either age them up and/or use beard filters.
2.) Put aged-up still image through My Heritage Deep Nostalgia app, which animates it to make it move.
3.) Convert that video into gif and cut out the bits that work.
Whole thing takes about 10 minutes per gif.
Bad Dreams Deep Space Nine Fic: Chapter Twelve: Nothing Comes From Nothing.
Story summary: After losing his Federation citizenship, Julian Bashir is stuck in utopia. He canât get a job or a home. Heâs not allowed to leave Earth. He has no future in a society that doesnât want Augments to exist.
Section 31 make Bashir an offer. Complete one mission for them and theyâll give him his citizenship back. Heâll be accepted into paradise. Theyâll even allow him to be a doctor again.
What could be simpler? All he has to do is travel to Cardassia and persuade Garak, High Castellan of the Union, to take his people into the FederationâŚ.
In this chapter: Garak finally gets to talk to Kel and Bashir is ship-wrecked in a salt desert:Â https://archiveofourown.org/works/20655953/chapters/98189883
i miss when you could make political art without placing personal identity (and the self) at the center of everything
this piece (âartist bioâ by anna daliza) sort of perfectly sums it up. the emphasis on identity politics and tokenization in art/music/performance spaces feels reductive and exploitative- like it offers a sort of racial tourism for the wealthy white patrons. none of what im saying are original thoughts btw go see White by james ijames
[ID: the piece of art âartist bioâ by Anna Daliza. Itâs a white plaque on a brick wall. The text on the plaque reads âThe writer (she/her) is a trans woman and Lebanese Canadian who also identifies as queer. Her work is about End ID]

if ur politics are centered in any way on rooting out the "bad" people in the world and then being able to live in a utopia then congratulations, uve ended up at fascism and I am not in any way exaggerating
the only way to truly and genuinely prevent harm is by first acknowledging that all human beings are capable of causing harm to others if given the right circumstances, including u
u genuinely must first understand and accept that if given the right circumstances u personally would harm others and that the only way to prevent that is to be constantly checking ur own behavior and making sure there are safeguards in place to protect people against harm. none of us are immune to propaganda, neither are we immune to causing harm
otherwise, if u believe that any innate part of u (being a woman, gay, a person of color, ect.) means that u couldn't possibly be capable of harm, then it is only a matter of time and circumstance before u hurt another person, if u aren't already
Alexander Siddig as Yousef in The Big Battalions, Episode 1 (1992)
A 26 (maybe 25 at time of filming) year old Alexander Siddigâs (credited here as Sid El Fadil) first major TV role and second major role of any kind (his only previous credits being as an unnamed party guest in an obscure film and as Prince Feisal in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia), The Big Battalions aired on UK TV in 1992 and disappeared, never getting any kind of home video or streaming release and essentially becoming lost media. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of members of the Sid City Social Club and with the help of series writer Hugh Stoddart, The Big Battalions is now available to stream, for free, to UK residents (and, wink nudge, UK IP addresses generally) here on All4. This is the first time the series, and Sidâs performance in it, have been seen in 20+ years.
Writer Tag Game
Thanks for @conceptadecency for tagging me. Iâm going tag @damnhardwork @syaunei, @alphacygni-8 and @agrippaspoleto plus anyone else whoâd like to do this.
How many works do you have on AO3?
Eight.
Whatâs your total AO3 word count?
88878
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1.     In Times Of War
2.     The Chameleon & The Magpie
3.     Bad Dreams (still a WIP though, sequel to In Times Of War)
4.     Garakâs Letter Back
5.     My Friend
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Yes. I tend to write back unless life and work has gotten super busy. Itâs always nice to chat to people and talk about ideas.
Whatâs the fic youâve written with the angstiest ending?
Garakâs Letter Back. More bittersweet than angsty though.
Whatâs the fic youâve written with the happiest ending?
Chameleon & The Magpie. DS9 but with His Dark Materials style animal daemons. Â
Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one youâve ever written?
A Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead/ DS9 crossover called Incredible Tales. Basic plot: Bashir and OâBrien realise theyâre actually characters in one of Bennyâs stories and try and fail to change the course of events from In The Pale Moonlight. Itâs definitely a crazy tripâŚ
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Depends on the definition of hate. 99% of people in the fandom are lovely, generous, and kind.  Iâve received a couple of comments from people who one aspect of my writing was problematic ( basically I described Bashir as âthe Englishmanâ and that was taken to somehow to be whitewashing? Apparently you canât be English and not white or something⌠I dunno, it was baffling.)
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
No.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes. Someone asked ages ago if they could translated into Russian for a Russian fic website. I said yes, itâs all cool and stuff.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. Iâve had a lot of help from other people though in terms of ideas and plot points for my fics, but nothing where we wrote it together.
Whatâs your all-time favourite ship?
Depends on what Iâm writing to be honest. I donât really focus on the ships.
Whatâs a WIP that you want to finish but donât think you ever will?
I have one WIP in progress at the moment which is Bad Dreams. Itâs been a while but Iâm sure Iâll finish it. I write slowly and usually only one fic at a time, but I do always eventually finish stuff Iâve started.Â
What are your writing strengths?
Structure, ideas, jokes.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Writing speed. I write very, very slow. It takes me literal years to finish a multi-chapter fic. Also description of movements, people getting from one place to another in a scene, Really struggle with that. I have discovered from beta editors that I donât know how to correctly use semi-colons (does anyone?) Also sometimes because Iâm more used to writing or editing scripts for work, I forget to put in a characterâs internal dialogue, emotions and thoughts when writing prose. Sort of figure âwell itâs the actors jobâ and then am like âoh no, wait â this is a story, thereâs no actorâ.
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
I was going to say DS9, but I *did* write a story for a Big Finish Doctor Who submission when I was about eighteen that got rejected, so I turned it into a fic and put it on fanfiction.net. Then there was a 10 year gap before I got into fanfic proper with DS9. Â
Whatâs your favourite fic youâve written?
Iâm pretty happy with In Times of War and itâs sequel Bad Dreams. Thereâs stuff Iâd do differently now in terms of writing In Times of War if I did it again ( itâs all written in the present tense and I would change that now, but hey-ho) but I think the ideas, characters and plots of both those stories are really strong.
Do you consider your script for Curse from the Prophets to be fanfiction? Maybe not, because Sid actually performed in it, but I think it deserves an honourable mention!
I do consider it fanfiction/ fanscript, yes :-) Although I figured it didnât really fit into the answers of any of the questions. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to plug it though: Sid and Django did such a great job. Iâve changed how I write Giel in Bad Dreams to be more like Djangoâs performance now.Â

Christopher Eccleston: Why my Doctor had to be northern
âIf youâre an alien how comes you sound like youâre from the north?â Billie Piperâs Rose Tyler asked The Doctor ten years ago â now Christopher Eccleston has finally revealed why his Time Lord had a northern accent.
âLots of planet have a northâ the Doctor told Rose way back then, but Eccleston (who returns to our TV screens in ITVâs new thriller Safe House on Monday April 20th at 9pm) gives a rather different answer in this weekâs edition of Radio Times.
âI wanted to move him away from the RP (received pronunciation) for the first time because we shouldnât make a correlation between intellect and accentâ he says, âalthough that still needs addressingâ.
The self-described working-class actor also says that cultural inequality is âmuch more pronouncedâ in Britain than it used to be, and that it would be difficult for a young actor with his background to succeed in the industry today.
âYou canât blame Eddie Redmayne or Benedict Cumberbatch but inequality will lead to a milky, anodyne culture. To an extent thatâs already happened,â he argues.
Eccleston stresses that itâs not just about the working class though. âThereâs not enough writing for women or people of colourâ he says. âIt frustrates me when they insist on doing all-male Shakespearean productions â a wonderful intellectual exercise, maybe, but itâs outrageous because itâs putting a lot of women out of work.â
When I Say Heâs My Favorite Doctor This Is Why
Noble sentiments and all that, and I really love how he brought Doctor Who back and played the Doctor, but neither Sylvester McCoy nor Paul McGann spoke with RP accents either.
perspective
One day Garak talks to Chief OâBrien and he learns a lot.Â
Or to Bashir, given that heâs likely the descendant of people(s) colonized by the British just as OâBrien is
Or, ideally in a utopia, Garak would also learn a lot talking to Bashir because heâs the descendant of the British people who did the colonising... just as much heâs the descendant of the people colonised?
I think in a utopian society, youâd hope the British part of Bashir would be able to accept that part of his inherited history. Youâd hope heâd be able to face that and it was integrated into his national identity.Â
