Ok I need to talk about how this is another of DJenks subverted trope power moves that makes me feel like we’ve won a battle here.
I HATE the “saying I love you as a source for turmoil and angst” trope. I hate it in fiction, and I 🔥HATE🔥that I’ve seen it used to manipulate——

the way ed says he won't say it back and stede still continues, 'i should of just told him how i feel' and he fucking does, he expects nothing back, he just has to tell ed that he is there and that he loves him
*grumble* goddamn transphobe motherfucker with a Relevant Username getting all kinds of 🔥S🔥H🔥I🔥T🔥 all over my search results for horny space lizard spy shenanigans……… 😒

Pessimist: The glass is half empty
GARAK: Fascinating. So both the cup and the liquid are merely extensions of your body.
ODO: That is correct. And if I want to, I can even drink the liquid, reabsorb it, and produce new coffee in the cup.
This is a killer of an interview. Siddig saying he's "not quite straight" and then basically saying that Bashir was not just into Garak but also genderqueer?
Hell yeah, Sid, speak your truth! ❤️

Alternately does anyone know where DS9 fandom lives?
fandom has me.
it’s serious this time.
I’ve gone looking for fanfic.
I… haven’t read fanfic my wife didn’t write since people were writing fanfic *about me*.
This is a great question, and one of the answers is a great secret that explains a huge amount of how the world works.
First: We have been cooking food for a long time to free up calories that would otherwise be unavailable. We’ve been doing this long enough that it as affected our physiology.
But the second answer is the big one: Humans are able to behave as if our lives are extremely valuable. Deer and coyotes and pigeons and hawks and bears drop like flies. They die constantly. Humans have the ability to not accept this and so we do all kinds of crazy things to prevent ourselves from puking or shitting our brains out or dying.
We’re perfectly capable of eating and digesting raw meat, but we do not do it because we have the ability to make a different decision that decreases the amount of time we spend suffering.

This might be my favourite line in DS9. Certainly in this season, anyway.
I just love that he knows that word. XD
@edwinhayward@VintageMrHobbes OMG I was on a long-distance bus trip and there was some idiot in the back of the otherwise silent bus making NUMEROUS phone calls to pay bills. By credit card. Reciting the CSV and everything. After obviously having to give their full name.
