Feel like Odo would spend his entire life telling people that he never collects keepsakes and never puts any decorations up, but one day one of the Bajoran children on DS9 would give him a slightly crumpled piece of paper with a scribbled drawing of them and Odo together. And he would act grateful but very nonchalant about it, being like “this is very nice of you, but I have no need for it”, until Kira or Quark or someone walks into his office and sees it on the corner of his desk, with a little frame around it

Happy pride yall 🌈

i’m So sorry Chappell Roan

ive been told to add a disclaimer to this post that i have only seen the first two garak episodes so far but when bashir randomly mentioned him in shadowplay this was all i could think of

Imagine my surprise to come back from the woods and find that there is heated discourse about eating pussy, or rather, not really about eating pussy (celibacy website) but about fictional characters eating pussy, and about the fact that people On Here have abstracted the act of eating pussy to a moral signifier, turning the gimmick blog poll question of whether a character would eat pussy into a question of whether they think the character is worthy of being liked. There is nothing like an association with virtue to make a pleasure feel like a chore, but aside from that, imagine my surprise after I scrolled a little further, only to find out that the character who started all this discourse is

THIS GUY

doodling in a more cartoony style hrmmm. yuppp Wahoo

Okay okay I'm caught up and ready to add my two slips.

Have we ever seen Quark with a female Ferengi? No. Why? Because as much as he's a misogynist as Ferengi culture demands, he is a lil freak. He gives oral. And they need to keep the clothes on the whole time. Shit, he may even give them a single slip of latinum, but steals it back after once the blood is back in his lobes.

And yes, he should have gotten with Pel but you know why he didn't? Because she was a Ferengi woman. But as a FERENGI MAN??? Oh Quark was ready to go sloppy toppy all day and night. It's all about breaking Ferengi rules behind closed doors.

Ugh I hate thinking about Quark like this. Lord what are y'all doing to me???

Things we know about Quark: -More comfortable with engaging in homosexual activities with Ferengi men than giving Ferengi women rights or treating them as equals

-Has pulled at least one Cardassian woman

-Has a crush on Jadzia Dax who definitely doesn't act like a Ferengi

-I believe in the Betazoid episode showed he had latent attraction to Keiko, also very much not a Ferengi I have no conclusion to draw here I just think this adds to how much of a freak Quark is in the bedroom and I agree with everything above.

Quark is turned on by women who act completely the opposite of how a Ferengi woman 'should' act. Even when he thinks he wants a traditional Ferengi woman, he really doesn't. He can try to perform his culture all he wants, but he still can't stop himself from having that little breath hitch when a fierce woman insults him and slaps him.

When you think about it, it's really no wonder Quark left his homeworld. It's pretty clear by the end of the series that he doesn't like the way women are treated in his society, even though he pretended to be a supporter of it for a long time.

It's also easy for us to forget that he didn't pretend to support it just to maintain clout among his fellow Ferengi. I think that if that's all it was, non-conformist Quark would have had no problem telling the other men of his race to go fuck themselves. But the pressure to keep women subjugated was much worse than that.

It was law that Ferengi men had to maintain control of the women in their family. If a woman was caught breaking the law, the man responsible for her was held accountable for her crimes! This included paying restitution for her crimes, as we see in 'Family Business.'

And what do Ferengi believe about the afterlife? They believe that the more profit they make in life, the more of a reward they'll get in the afterlife.

Ferengi government is also Ferengi religion, and both of them heavily incentivize Ferengi men to keep their women under control.

Quark avoids Ferengi women for three reasons:

No wonder he left his homeworld! He wasn't just going out to seek latinum in the stars - staying on Ferenginar would have been absolutely miserable for his love life and his morals, too.

Y’all are forgetting a crucial and extremely Ferengi aspect of this: money.

A Ferengi marriage is basically a lease of a female from her father. Quark would have to pay some female’s father, then return her once the lease was up.

Quark largely raised his nephew after his idiot brother went and fell in LOVE with his leased female and got his heart broken when he couldn’t convince her and her father to renew the contract. It’s no wonder Quark sees no profit in pursuing women of his own species. He’s quite happy to keep his latinum and teach the dabo girls the finer points of umox.

bbygirls...Thank you @wellntruly for taking this very anime-esque screenshot:

i love how nosy everyone in ds9 is. good luck trying to agonize over your latest war crime or relationship drama or whatever in solitude before at least 5 high-ranking Starfleet officers crawl out of the air vents because they sensed gossip

I call this gifset "Quark Whump"

I was informed this was a family establishment, but to my suprise my young sons were exposed to absolute DEPRAVITY! I wanted to take them to witness gambling and how to profit off it, but the females attending were FULLY CLOTHED! To add on to that, I heard the waiters mentioning the uni*n word in front of my children! I will not be returning.

even the forces of two wars blowing through the station this bar is located in wasn't enough to dislodge the stickiness off the tables that probably was there since terok nor. two stars because the dabo girls were nice to me

The drinks are good but the owner wouldn't do anything about the shapeshifter rudely investigating me for a murder I didn't commit

Whoever thinks that anti-Cardassian racism isn't real hasn't tried their kanar

While the bit is funny, i think the general populace's opinion of Quark's was positive enough, considering by Lower Decks, bitch had an entire chain of those. Maybe they liked the depravity idk
