The funniest thing about Star Trek: The Original Series is William Shatner being completely unaware of how bisexual his portrayal of Kirk was coming across – especially when you look up interviews with the rest of the cast and it becomes clear that Shatner was literally the only person on set who didn’t pick up on it.

The second funniest thing about Star Trek: The Original Series is how angry Shatner gets when people bring this up.

no but why does quark have the best one-episode-romances out of any character in star trek?

Pel? Has a fascinating arc, an adventurer, incredibly queer on multiple levels, introducing the broader narrative of Female Independence on Ferenginar

Natima? The first time we encounter internal Cardassian resistance, pivotal to understanding later developments, highly respected by her students

Grilka? An icon amongst Klingon Women, just wants a good time, uses him and he’s a-okay with it, and then after that they’re still great Friends-With-Benefits


I wonder if it’s because all of their narratives are so much about independence? They all have narratives beyond Quark but then he enters those stories like a Ferengi Mad Max or smthin????

he loves people who are more powerful than him so fucking much???? the horniness is constantly off the damn charts!!!
