Icon from a picrew by grgikau. Call me Tir or Julian. 37. He/They. Queer. Twitter: @tirlaeyn. ao3: tirlaeyn. 18+ Only. Star Trek. Sandman. IwtV. OMFD. Definitionless in this Strict Atmosphere.
Leeta was never given a full name in course of the TV series, only ever referred to as Leeta. The novel Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed explained that this was because Leeta never knew her family name – she was an orphan brought up without a family during the Bajoran Occupation.
Just thinking about the fact that Leeta and Julian had like… objectively the healthiest breakup in TV history.
They dated for a while, decided they weren’t right for each other, went to Risa, fucked out their feelings, had a break up ceremony and parted ways on good terms.
No jealousy, Bashir would be like “Leeta he’s a hottie, go get that ass.” And Leeta would be like “she’s gorgeous Julian you need a wing girl?” And then they’d get flustered and do a healthy break up smash to get each other out of their system.
Wholesome as fuck, good for them! Thank you Star Trek for having the bravery to depict mature healthy adults, in mature healthy relationships ❤️
And then Leeta went on to date Rom, which seems like it could’ve been a joke, especially how the reactions from quark and bashir were played for laughs, but they legitimately had like… maybe THE healthiest relationship ever depicted in star trek?? They had arguments, sure, but every time they solve them, they do so with their love totally renewed for each other, and Leeta even becomes sort of a surrogate mom for Nog. Good Shit
