(they call me!)

I would say we need to start shipping Vedek Bareil/Shakaar but I know half of you would say you thought those were the same guy

🌟HAPPY WEDNESDAY FROM VEDEK BAREIL🌟

#271

"I actually like Kira/Bareil and Kira/Shakar. Yes, they were incredibly boring, but she has enough excitement in her life, she doesn't need it in her love life, and they both clearly cared about her. And then when she broke up with Shakar she went on to date Odo, who desperately wanted to be boring but the Founders just wouldn't let him. Let Kira have a boring-ass no-drama relationship that makes her happy! She's earned it."

if i were kira i would be religious too ngl

"no rapping tonight"

why?

"you rap about vedek bareil everytime, it's embarrassing"

ok

[after one beer]

buh bareil, buh buh bareil

I love Vedek Bareil dude always sound like he’s high as fucking kite and just rolling with it man I bet he always has the best weed and shares it with anyone for the small price of staying to smoke it with him and listening to whatever enlightened shit spews from his mouth for the next 3 hours

playing around with the ungulate bajoran coloration+markings :)

I am not impressed with "Resurrection" (S06E08, Stardate UNKNOWN). Mirror Bareil is intriguing, but Kira is really messed up by/with him. Dax is too encouraging and Ben should have been firmer. The whole intendant/endgame angle could have been cut for a deeper exploration of a refugee Mirror Bareil.

(me, at Vedek Bareil) yes girl, give us nothing!

the time for loving random cardassians is over . the time for loving random bajorans is IN

Confession #64

"Why are Kira's Bajoran love interests, Shakaar and Bareil, so fucking boring? I swear to God, Odo was the only love interest of Kira's that had a personality, wasn't boring, and whose character wasn't dependent on being Kira's love interest. Heck, if I was gonna ship Kira with a Bajoran man, I'd sooner pick her friend Shaxs who is a more fun character than Shakaar and Bareil."

We all know that the DS9 writers obviously had favorites *COUGH COUGH O’BRIEN COUGH COUGH* when it came time to emotionally invoke the audience, but I don’t think we talk about Odo enough…

Sure, his name literally means “nothing” and he was experimented on in a lab during his upbringing and he was practically forced to betray his people during the Dominion War (he was even the first Changling to kill another) and he had his abilities taken from him as punishment and he was given a disease to spread to the entire Link (almost making him responsible for a Changling genocide)… buts that’s not what I’m getting at.

As if all of that wasn’t sad enough, they just had to make him hopelessly in love with Kira. Odo had to watch her bonds with Bareil, Shakaar, Julian, and even O’Brien, believing that she’d probably never love him because of who he was and how unlikeable he seemed. And after all of that, Kira was still oblivious to Odo’s feelings for her. It took Vic to finally get them together!!

And they still went their separate ways in the end…

buh...bareil? ba ba bareil?
