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…

"Confession: Kira and Odo's relationship in DS9 is actually really sweet and compelling (really the only compelling romantic relationship Kira has in the show). It is popular in DS9 fan circles to headcanon Kira as a lesbian or bi (which is cool) I also felt that Kira and Odo's relationship was also quite good storytelling.
(Also Quodo for life)"

DS9 spoilers:
A pointless complaint to the void:
Sometimes the forced straight relationships in shows just make me really sad. Currently season 3 episode 8 made me the most upset. I'm not sure why they got so aggressive with in in season 3 but they really went for it.
I guess maybe they thought they did enough interpersonal relationship stuff in season 1 & 2 and they needed outside characters? idek man. It just makes me saaad cause I just want them to hangout in space togetherrr.
I don't even hate straight relationships I just hate them when they're poorly written.
Jadzia
Like: Ah yes let's all watch Jadzia Dax fall for a guy (a mid one at that) who she's known for 12 days. She will now abandon all her friends and her job/interests so she can exist as a thought cloud polycule for 60 years- SIXTY. And she made that decision in less than 12 days...
Fall in love with him? Fine. Even be tempted? Sure. Idk maybe i'm just missing smth.
Odo/Kira:
I actually don't mind Odo having a crush on Kira cause like... she's a huge part of his life and respectfully he doesn't get out much. I dunno how I feel about her liking him back- but we'll see. (I'm still rooting for Quark x Odo and Kira x Dax) I kinda see Kira friendzoning him. Like they definitely love eachother but I don't know if it needs to be romantic- possibly a hot take.

Tbh, as a polyamorous person, I love thinking about how it would be to be in a relationship with the people from shows and stuff. Like the one's in a relationship or I ship together. For example, Kira and Odo. C'mon, need I say more? Think about it. How fun, neat and healthy it would be to be in a polyamorous relationship with those two. You would literally never feel unloved.
Kira would be more bold then Odo, greeting you with a kiss and a 'hi honey!:D' every time she saw you. She would def give good morning cheek kisses and good night mouth kisses (Cause morning breath). Odo, would be more subtle with his love. Gifting you and Kira little things he thinks you two yould like, keep an eye on you both to be sure you're safe. Of course you and Kira absolutely let him know he's loved, and he gets so soft in private with you both. If Kira is overwhelmed with her duty, Odo is down in his insecurity, or whatever is making you upset, no person in that relationship would be left un-comforted.
Odo and Kira are protective of you in their own ways, and those lines meld together at violence. They will not shy away from violence to keep you safe. You and Kira are protective of Odo, You and Odo are protective of Kira, and they are of you. Nobody's getting hurt in this relationship if the other two have anything to say about it. Communication is a key element in you threes relationship, that's why it works out so well. You three would be the dream team, literally. The three of you together? Unstoppable.
You guys want kids? Here are some scenarios. (Also you're going to have to work with me here, because I'm pretty sure Odo doesn't have a weninei (dick) and if he did, that means he'd have to study it in order to replicate it, I think.)
For female or those with a uterus: Odo is going to be upset that he doesn't have the right...parts, or at least, his parts don't work like a humans parts so that they may impregnate you and kira. (Assuming you're of a species akin to Kira, or a species that can mate with other species.) Will you and Kira reassure him? Oh fuck yeah. In more ways then one~ ANYWAYS. Tbh he would probably research a tone of shit to see if their was a slim chance he could knock you and kira up lol. However, it's a good thing you three are perfectly content with adopting!
AFTER ODO BECOMES HUMAN: Odo is happy he can bow provide you and Kira with a larger family. Even if you can't get pregnant by another species, assuming you're an alien that can't crossbreed, Kira will happily have the children (this applies to if you don't want to bear children. They will not hold it against you). I can see maybe three or four kids? Four at the most, two at the least.
For male, or those with a weninei (penis): Now. You may think, 'oh! Odo might be upset that only you can get kira pregnant!' and I'm shutting that down. A baby that's a mixture of the two most important people in his life? SIGN ODO TF UP. Kira is on board with this, 100%. (Again, assuming if you're a species that can procreate with other species.) Once again, if you're not able to reproduce with Kira, adoption is always on the table.
AFTER ODO BECOMES HUMAN: Kira is happy is can now bear both your children, so is Odo. I think it would be a pleasant suprise to see one of the children come out looking like you and Odo, or a mixture of you three. (Eggs can be fertilized by two men and grow up looking like both of them.)
For those with no gender or ✨parts✨: ADOPTION! A D O P T I O N.
AFTER ODO BECOMES HUMAN: CONGRATS! YOU THREE GORGEOUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING KIDS!
Now then, I think Kira would be the type to want children. No matter how, I think she'd wanna be a mom. I don't think Odo would mind not being, or being a dad.
~~~~~~~
I could expand a lot more on these two, but I didn't sleep last night and it's already 2:04. So yeah. Bye!
(LOOK AT THEM😭🥺♥️)
(I WANT THEM)
