Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rejoined Through The Looking Glass

I know how you feel about Lenara.

Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

There should have been an episode where Odo gets zapped while shifted into an object and the zap does something to his morphogenic matrix so he's stuck like that and the whole episode is everyone doing their best acting scenes with a mug or perhaps a bag

babe wakeup, new lower decks season five trailer just dropped

please learn how to code

like, if you're bored today, and not doing anything,

learn a little bit of coding please

or just. im scared of bugs. i really am. but. i don't think they deserve to die for just being bugs. i have to beg people for the lives of bugs every day and then they still kill them :(

I hate being a person who loves bugs, I can't say anything without the person I'm talking to reacting with disgust. Today I had to literally beg a coworker for the life of a spider, and then after I put it in a nook outside she thought it'd be funny to show me a video she took of her killing one. Like idk man. Birds scare the shit out of me but I still get why people love them. They come in pretty colors and they sound nice and they're interesting to observe. I don't understand why people don't feel the same about bugs. The rich amber color of a cockroach, the iridescent glow of a fly, the intricate hydraulics that power their little legs, the chirp of a beetle, the art of the spider's web... It's all so beautiful. Why is it the habit of so many to destroy?

Man, it's almost like Sisko is the Emissary to the Prophets or something

vs

Why did he say this????? HEHEHE Tuvok I love you so much

I made this literally two years ago and just found it in my camera roll :p

why does archer behave like the surveillance system on p'jem is personally t'pol's fault. what the fuck

actually i'd love to hear your elaborated thoughts on sam wildman and seven, sounds very compelling frankly

(In reference to this answer)

I think Sam Wildman/Seven is one of those ships that came up more often years ago, but it always interested me, partly as a way to correct one of Voyager's oversights—why do Seven and Sam only interact on screen once (in “Mortal Coil” I think) but then never again, especially after Seven and Naomi start hanging out? You'd think that Sam would have a long talk with Seven on how she expect Seven to interact with Naomi and lay down a few firm rules. And the show hints at the fact that that has actually happened at some point! Here's a line from “Survival Instinct”:

I don't think Seven would say this if Sam hadn't warned her against teaching Naomi “Borg stuff” (and Seven, at least by early season 6, agrees with Sam too—her next lines are “I don't approve either. We've discussed the impropriety of you emulating the Borg.”) So I've personally always been interested in thinking about how those interactions between them could have gone.

It's particularly notable to me that Sam lets Seven be around Naomi so much, despite their one interaction being a complete disaster and Sam obviously being aware that Seven is dangerous. At the very least Seven is unused to being around people, least of all young children. Hell the first time Seven and Naomi truly hang out is when Seven was not herself for Borg crap reasons in “Infinite Regress”! So Sam's motivations for letting this go on anyway really interest me. I suppose on one hand it was difficult to curb Naomi's enthusiasm (especially right after Sam almost died far away from her in “Once Upon A Time”) but on the other it's not that hard to jump to the conclusion that Sam herself kinda likes Seven despite the fact that (or maybe because) she's so odd. We don't know much about Samantha Wildman but I figure she's a lot tougher and a lot more unflappable than the show overtly says, given everything that's happened to her since boarding Voyager.

And I think Seven respects Sam in return. I don't have much to go on to (again, Voyager gives us very little here), but she does seem to follow some rules, rules she agreed to and sees the wisdom of, with Naomi. I always wondered if Sam telling her straight up what her expectation and boundaries are re: Seven interacting with Naomi wasn't actually... refreshingly direct, compared to all the other relationships Seven has on the ship which are confusing at best, and often without clear boundaries (just think of the Doctor and the Captain). I think Seven could really appreciate having ground rules she can follow when interacting with others, especially someone as unpredictable as a young girl. Ultimately I think Seven might like Sam because she gets along so well with Naomi, but maybe there's true regard for Sam as well.

So I think there is something implied here and then you have this single parent situation plus the difficult, traumatized adult that the little kid has decided she will befriend no matter what... The trope writes itself. Seven realizing that it's so much easier to be around Sam and talking about niche work subjects (Sam is a xenobiologist)... The angst about Greskrendtregk being far away and Naomi never having even met him and thinking of Seven as the other adult she looks up to... Idk I think there's a lot here to work with!!

you ever think about the fact that from trip's perspective t'pol's a milf

Sci-fi shows nowadays are dramatic and realistic. Give me the artistic lighting, give me awkward fight scenes, let aliens wear drag queen level eyeshadows, convince me that the same decoration in every episode is a different planet, make a whole Alice in Wonderland subplot just because you found a big bunny costume in the garage, let the space pirates wear pirate costumes, dress the dog in the secondhand unicorn costume and say it’s an alien species, give me the most angsty episode I’ve seen right after the episode about some moving mama rock, give me the bROMANCE, give me HONOR, LOYALTY, DIGNITY, and some cool unrealistic but beautiful spaceships, give me flip phones as the coolest device ever, give me dramatic zoom-ins, give me thoughtful stares in the distance with dramatic music. Then we’ll talk.

im like [discovers song] and my brains like ok u will listen to nothing but this for at least three days straight

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
