Ok, so I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I just gotta let this out. You know how Cardassians are more susceptible to the cold then other “humanoids”, so they’d defiantly wanna conserve what warmth they do have. Then I started thinking about the “cuddle-for-warmth trope” and how cute it would be to see some Cardassians cuddling on a particularly chilly day. Then it hit me like a vision from the Prophets themselves; what if that’s a normal thing they did? Before easy artificial heating they’d only really get heat from the sun or a fire, so wouldn’t it make sense for them to lay with each other while they’re sleeping or just trying to get warm? I feel like it would also turn into a whole dang social gathering for close friends and family. So I thought, “this would become part of their culture.” I was also thinking there would even be a room dedicated to this in Cardassian homes. A nice cozy, warm room with a big bed where children, parents, siblings or close family-friends can all sleep together. There would be nice heated blankets and everyone would be all snug. As for “guest rooms” it depends on the household. One family might not get many guest or not even allow others to stay over so they don’t see the need for one. Another family may have one because they often have “acquaintances” over. Either way Cardassians that are neither CLOSE family friends nor part of the family would not sleep in the “family bedroom”.
Do tell me your thoughts on this or just any small addtions to this.
THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT
I would imagine too that they wouldn’t use the same kinds of beds that other humanoids do, since “regular” beds are designed more for laying flat with your head on a pillow, and they would probably sleep curled up in a pile together!! my idea for that is that their beds would be kinda round, and have raised edges so that they wouldn’t roll off
okok hear me out: bed pit
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CONCEPT OF A LIZARD (cardassian) SNUGGLE PIT OH MY GOD
