DS9 AU: Weyoun 6 survives and meets Ezri Dax

“I am broken, Dax! I am only alive now because I was too defective to even die properly!”
“No. You’re alive because you aren’t broken. You’re alive because they couldn’t kill you.”

something that should have happened in ds9, but didn’t

theusssomeproblem:

senior staff: oh no there is an emergency we need chief obrien

chief obrien: but i need somebody to watch my tiny children oh no

everyone: looks around

everyone: oh no there is nobody to watch the chief’s tiny children

garak: i could watch the tiny children *innocent face*

everyone:…

everyone:…

everyone: no

No, everyone’s forced to say yes, because emergency. And it’s heavily implied that he has some nefarious aim, and we get a build up when the emergency is over and we return to the room where Garak and tiny children are supposed to be. The door opens, and…

Garak has taught them a Cardassian song, and they’ve done some crafts stuff and made a picture. And Garak is all like “what, you don’t trust me? What must you think of me?”

#Star Trek #DS9 #oh look an update

onetobeamup asked: tell me ur headcanons about the klingon food stall owner tell me right now

agatharights:

capriceandwhimsy:

agatharights:

His name is KOGA and he is an HONORABLE WARRIOR of the kitchen. He started his business as a competitive chef, and his family has long since worked in food procurement/services. He’s from a long and noble line of chefs and hunters, they have served emperors and traveled along war-ridden lines to deliver much-needed food!

He has five children, who live on Quo’nos and four of them are also chefs (his youngest daughter is a true warrior) and his operates his restaurant with his wife and some cousins, as well as young klingons training to be NOBLE CHEFS.

He likes getting competitive with other restaurants, and he has a fierce aggression towards a vulcan restaurant nearby. They go back and forth, but secretly will totally get take-out so that they can enjoy Klingon/Vulcan food.

“Why do you express surprise that a Klingon has chosen the path of fine cuisine? Why are you so shocked at my cultured palate?

“Warriors must eat, and a warrior who has eaten well will fight all the better for it. A true Klingon chef knows that any meal he prepares may be the last meal that a warrior may ever eat. Does not every fine warrior deserve to go into battle with a good meal in his belly? Should not a chef do his utmost to ensure that every nuance of that meal is prepared to perfection?

“My grandfather was chef to Admiral Koros. A fine warrior, the Admiral, a man who loved fine food. My grandfather was there when the Admiral died. He was there for the songs sung in the mess hall on the eve of battle against the Romulans. When the battle began, my grandfather put down apron and knife and took up his duty as damage control officer.

“Long did the battle rage. Many Klingon and Romulan ships burned in the void of space. In the end, the sons of Kahless were victorious, but at great cost to ships and men.

“My grandfather was one of the men who found the Admiral on the bridge of his ship, surrounded by his dead and dying men, half of his body burned in disruptor fire. The Admiral spoke of glory, and honor, and expressed no regret for his own death. And yet, the Admiral said, he would have liked one more taste of my grandfather’s Rokheg Blood Pie.

“My grandfather returned to his kitchen. Among the wreckage of his burned ingredients and damaged stoves, he gathered together what few supplies remained unspoiled. Using all of his skill and strength, he prepared, with his hands, one last small Rokheg Blood Pie, as the Admiral lay dying 

“The men served their admiral one last meal. They put the fork to his mouth. The Admiral tasted my grandfather’s Rokheg Blood Pie and smiled. And, without another word, the Admiral went to Sto’Vo’Kor.

“This story is memorable, not not unusual. Countless such stories have been written down in my family history. I come from over two dozen generations of chefs who have served great warriors, and all of us have given their all to provide the best meals possible to these men, always knowing it may be their last.

“SO I WILL KNOW IF YOU EVER ATTEMPT TO PASS OFF CARDASSIAN LILY STAMENS AS GENUINE Q’ONOS SAFFRON AGAIN, AND IF YOU EVER ATTEMPT SUCH TREACHERY, I SHALL GUT YOU WITH MY CHEF’S KNIFE AND USE YOUR INTESTINES AS SAUSAGE CASINGS!”

i like you

[Odo’s communicator bothers me. It seems like it would be part of his body like the rest of his clothes, but it works? So it must be an actual object, but what about when he changes shape? Is he “holding” the communicator somewhere inside his body in liquid state? These are the things I get distracted thinking about!]

Me too, OP. Me too.

(I mostly figure he’s holding it inside his body, but I’m not sure that top at the end of “Shadowplay” had any parts big enough to hide a communicator in. Also, being able to embed objects in your body seems like an ability with a much wider range of applications than just someplace to put your combadge, but shapeshifting is pretty under-utilised in general.)
