they spent 20 YEARS, and surprise, it also still looks like a fucking gym, with a roof about to rust through
like, look at the interior of this shithole
what the fuck were they doing for 20 years??
is that a goddamn drop ceiling? who the hell wants to live in a house with a drop ceiling? so you can throw pencils up when you’re bored, like you’re perpetually stuck in hell high school?
gonna start dunking turkeys at the freethrow line? I bet that kitchen smells like feet
I didn’t think the plain, stanky old wood court could be topped until I saw this sad carpet. I bet it’s just plain carpet directly over concrete. no insulation. all cold in winter.
why the fuck are you tired, you barely did anything
i think another good, wholesome permutation of garak/bashir is the one where they both clearly openly want to fuck each other and all of the weird conversations they have about “playing games” and “eating too fast” and “have you tried the cream pie mr garak its exquisite” that sound weirdly euphemistic actually are about sex and intimacy, but they both know that any sort of relationship upgrade would be completely devastating to both of their world-views and value systems, and also a political nightmare, so they’re putting it off indefinitely. it’s neurotic cross-morality courtly love. gay chicken in the time of widespread imperial decay. resigned to the erotic limbo of talking to your brunch buddy with your face awkwardly close to his face forever
Dream fighting Lucifer: epic wizard battle, there is no need for psychical contact, no shapeshifting, beings so powerful they can create its own realm just to manifest their battle while being fully connected to it
Dream about to fight Desire: *cracks knuckles* Dream about to fight Desire: bITCH
Idk i think some people miss the point of someone who’s around my age lamenting that they’ve never dated or done anything or been in love, but really want to be. I saw someone who was 24 ask whether there was still hope for them (which I know is kinda dramatic), and the person who responded was like “do you have friends and family who love you and whom you love? Have you ever read a good book or eaten fruit or sat in the sunlight. Love is everyhwere 🥺❤️🥺❤️” and like yeah yeah I get that little love and platonic love is just as important as romantic and sexual love but really none of that changes the fact that that person and many others like them are desiring a specific kind of love under very specific circumstances and conditions. Loving your parents isn’t the same as loving a significant other lol. And idk it feels patronizing or infantilizing I think, to see someone who’s never been in a relationship and would like to experience that kind of bond with someone only to tell them “no actually you should love your friends and family and eat some good food ❤️” idk idk I understand the intentions but. People desire to be desired in specific ways. People want to feel desired sexually and Romantically and to know that they’re wanted in those capacities. Yes it’s not the only metric by which to measure one’s value, but we’re not being unrealistic or naive by desiring this. Yes all the other stuff is important but you would not tell someone who doesn’t have friends not to worry about platonic love bc maybe they have an SO already and also the sun is shining and their parents love them and people are being kind for no reason. it’s starting to get annoying
