I picked DS9, because then they could have ended the war arc at the end of season 7 and spent season 8 dealing with the fallout of going back to 'business as usual'. They could have shown how people coped (and didn't), the various moments that lead them to chose to move on or stay, and given proper attention to the Prophet storyline, and had Sisko join the Prophets a few episodes early and return in time to be there for Kasidy to give birth and keep his promise that he'd be back.
For bonus points share one thing you wish would have happened in that extra season

Great Grandma, that's only like 12.5% DNA in common!
- Bashir, probably
I think we all forgot about Bashir wanting to fuck his grandma a little too quickly

I hated that part of Abyss so much, not just because of the worms thing, but all the food is replicated!
Even if that worm scene had never happened and he *did* refuse to eat animal flesh, there is no reason other than taste for him to be vegetarian when on a fucking starship.
Fanfic pet peeve is when Julian gets written as a vegetarian. This man eats live worms on screen.

Well given that I am DS9ItchtoScratch may I just say thank you for describing my fic as ‘achingly good’, I am delighted to know you enjoyed it.
I also think Bashir was given that uniform, but at the same time there is a canon explanation if you squint really hard.
When do you personally headcanon Julian was kidnapped by the Dominion?
I'm just curious - I personally don't see it happening until For the Uniform, the episode before Purgatory's Shadow, in which Julian doesn't make an appearance. But I know the uniform he's wearing makes it seem like it must have been pre-Rapture, meaning the Julian we see in those episodes would be the changeling.
And even though the changeling fooled everyone in his personal life, I'm kind of like rip i'm different i'd know if that wasn't julian y'know?
So yeah - what do you think?

Picard refused, the crew all died nobly, Q got bored and brought them back with no memory of what happened so that Picard couldn't gloat.
Q would absolutely trap the entire crew of the starship enterprise in some kind of dangerous and fucked up situation which can only be escaped if Picard were to say faggot. You can't tell me this didn't happen

Been thinking of writing another Khan/Julian fic. Maybe where Khan shows up in a ship he built himself and kidnaps Julian because he needs a brain to run it and heard Julian might be up to the task? But I feel like the idea is missing something. If anyone has any ideas please chime in.

My time to shine.
Julian states in 'Inquisition' that he was imprisoned for 37 days, correcting Sloan who states it was 5 weeks (so 5 weeks, 2 days total). The writers seem to stick with earth weeks the whole way through, which is plausible because it's a tv show.
In 'By Inferno's Light' Worf fights three times, the first time he breaks three, maybe four, ribs. The second time Martok announces that Worf won seven out of seven bouts, and the third time he faces the First and almost dies before escaping. It is *fairly* safe to assume these fighting sessions are on successive days, so the start of 'In Purgatory's Shadow' took place on day 34 of Julian's imprisonment.
Next we are going to jump to 'The Darkness and the Light', the episode where Kira is almost killed by a crazed Cardassian.
In that episode he goes to cut the baby out and Kira says: 'You can't bring it into the light! Not yet! Doctor Bashir said if I don't have at least three more weeks.'
This means that, as Kira went safely to term, 'The Begotten' must take place at least three weeks (21 days) after 'The Darkness and the Light'.
In 'In Purgatory's Shadow', Dax states that the O'Brien baby is 'less than a month old'. So that means 'The Begotten' must have taken place between one and four weeks previously. If we take it to be one week, then 34 - 28 = 6 days, making it most likely that Julian was taken just after 'Rapture', assuming that 'The Darkness and the Light' didn't start the day after Sisko's brain surgery. He seemed fully recovered and back at work, so it is likely that at least some time had passed between the two episodes.
If, however, we take the more likely scenario that baby Kirayoshi was closer to three weeks old (making Dax's rounding to 'less than a month' more plausible), then that would mean that 'The Darkness and the Light took place 42 days prior to 'In Purgatory's Shadow', meaning that Julian was still Julian when these events occurred.
He would, in fact, have been taken approximately 8 days after 'The Darkness and the Light' and 13 days before 'The Begotten'.
And finally, in 'If Wishes Were Horses' Julian canonically takes a nap in his uniform, pips, boots, and all. Best explanation for him being suited up despite being nabbed sleeping is that he just likes wearing his old uniform to bed.
Conclusion: Julian pulled on an old uniform to take a nap while at that burn conference sometime after making sure Kira was okay from the events of 'The Darkness and the Light' and his replacement stepped back onto the station just in time to be unable to save a baby Changeling for reasons that remain unclear, perhaps it was always impossible.
I hope it felt really bitter about that.

I'm genuinely confused to the point of respectfully requesting more information. Are these people bothering you specifically or are you seeing a lot of posts generally disparaging beer and the cumulative effect has reached critical point?
It's just as call-out posts go this is not one I was prepared for.
I've never made a post about beer before here or anywhere, but to answer your query, I do not like it because I do not like any beverage that has carbonation. Carbonation hurts my throat when I drink it. I also do not like the underlying taste of beer that exists in every version I have tried, including flavoured sours. I am frequently able to taste individual flavours within mixed flavours in foods and beverages, so perhaps this is the real difference between beer lovers and beer haters. People who love it either can taste that flavour and like it, or cannot taste that flavour among the others. People who hate it can taste it all the time and don't like it.
I can't say I've ever disparaged someone for their drinking choices though. People should drink whatever they like, and all people should stop assuming the 'other side's' motivations and leave each other alone.
I am also very much not 22.
I’m really curious how many of the BEER SUX!!!1!1 people on here a) drink much at all, b) if they do, have had anything beyond your Bud/Coors/Natty Light cheap shit that tastes like piss, c) have had a single microbrew that isn’t an overly hoppy IPA that some pretentious Beer Guy pushed on them
Plenty of you would love fruity and sour beers and sweet stouts! I refuse to believe this is a thing the 22-yros on here whining about beer and “why would you drink it when you can have a chocolate milkshake banana split Frappuccino sugar coma flavored vodka” have actually tried and are factoring into this judgment! A whole bunch of fruity sours basically taste like sour candy in liquid form, for instance. If you like Sour Patch Kids or Warheads or Jolly Ranchers you’d probably like them.

The edges look kind of jagged. Maybe Evil Picard impaled him through the spoon to make a point?
Tumblr media
I have been thinking about gul dukats skull all day and I need a moment alone with the cardassian lovers to discuss why the spoon would have a Hole. Its like the soft spot of a babys skull… what are the anatomical implications here…

I'm re-promoting this one after two years, because I am damn proud of it.
Relationship:
Julian Bashir/Martok
Characters: Julian Bashir, Martok (Star Trek), Worf (Star Trek:TNG/DS9), Enabran Tain, Elim Garak
Additional Tags: PTSD, Post Interment Camp, Nightmares, Facing fear, Angst, Prison Sex, Rough Sex, Fear of sexual violence, Biting, Marking
After the events of In Purgatory’s Shadow and By Inferno’s Light, Bashir is having trouble settling back into his life on Deep Space Nine. It’s hard to fall asleep when you can’t guarantee you won’t wake up somewhere else. It’s hard to talk to your friends when they never even realised you were missing. It’s hard to move on when the nightmares won’t stop.

If you could relive any memory of your past, what would it be?
The day my grandfather took me and my siblings on a bike ride, and my grandmother made us dinner afterwards. They’re both gone now, and it was a truly excellent day. I would like to relive it and make my memories fresh again.
What about you?

It reminds me of the ‘mum friend’ meme, where people get nervous and anxious standing up for themselves but instantly gain confidence and social skills when their friend is the one who needs something.
Julian fears no man, woman, or anyone in between when he’s standing up for someone else (Kai Winn when standing up for Bareil, the Jem’Hadar in camp 371 when everyone’s rations were cut, Odo and Tain during the events of The Wire, etc.) but asking Leeta for his teddy back means admitting he has to admit that when he gave it to her he almost certainly downplayed how much it mattered to him, and that he’s actually been stewing on this for a while, and that means he has to admit he’s more vulnerable than he projected.
In that way it’s easier to just get Jake and Nog to steal it back.
In the Cards is a fantastic episode just for the 1 - 2 combo of 1) Julian without hesitation declaring his childhood teddy bear would be the one thing that would make him happy right now and agreeing to get Jake and Nog what they want if they get him Kukalaka and 2) the reveal that Leeta fucking stole it and has been sleeping with it
