What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
It’s kind of a shame that “Catholics worship the saints and Mary on the same level as god” is the prevalent thought among non-Catholics because “Catholics treat the saints and Mary as a divine call center” is both more true in my experience and INFINITELY funnier
EDIT okay look. Listen. I’m GOING to fucking block you if you start religious discourse on this fucking post. I’m not even Catholic anymore, I wrote this up thinking like two people would enjoy it. I do not care. Stop.
[id: 7 gifs from season 4, episode 13 “crossfire” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show kira nerys, quark and odo inside odo's office.
1st, 2nd gif: kira is seated, holding a raktajino mug while quark is standing on her left. kira says, "maybe you should change quarters." and takes a sip. quark looks down towards kira as he replies, "maybe he should have a little more consideration." he looks at odo as he says, "shape-shifting in the middle of the night. there ought to be a regulation against it."
3rd gif: camera cuts to odo, he uncrosses his arms and tells quark, "come back in half an hour, i'll be happy to take your complaint then."
4th gif: camera cuts to quark, he says, "oh, i'll be back. you can count on it." he leaves but not before looking at odo one last time.
5th gif: close up of kira, she says, "it's just quark's luck that you would be assigned quarters right above his."
6th gif: "luck had nothing to do with it." odo refutes, chucking to himself.
7th gif: camera cuts to kira, she stares at odo for a second before laughing. /end id]
So this tweet made a real good point and got me thinking about this scene:
As mentioned in their tweet, "you don't 'beg for mercy' for a job," and here he sounds so scared and desperate, like he's had to do this A LOT before with the directors and it's so... sad.
(more under the cut)
Before he finds out the truth about Eden, he believed they saved him from his former life and gave him new opportunities to continue his dreams, but do you think having to needlessly beg to keep your position as literally being the face of Eden out of fear you'll be replaced and thrown right back out to your old life is a so called dream come true?
Eden even made a trailer for a movie about his life to fame, showing how everyone was rejecting him as a person, which they definitely made it more simplified like I KNOW he was getting way worse treatment than what was shown.
My main point is that despite believing in Eden's motives (before knowing the truth), he still wasn't truly happy deep down. He was STILL getting rejected and slandered by society, and he knew that deep down, so it's not surprising how the possibility of him losing his job made him have a whole breakdown and do the things he did to try and cope.
He quite literally has no one to lean to and hasn't had anyone since showing up to Eden besides the directors (because he probably believed they were treating him fairly and with respect), but... yeah.
He wanted to make a difference, to give hope to hybrids, and he thought he was doing just that. Despite the way the directors and everyone thought of him, despite how alone he felt, he still thought he was achieving his dreams and sharing that onto others
and yet... he was being used this entire time. None of it was true, all the hard work and the things he went through was for nothing.
Everything that Eden has done, and he was the face of it all... it's just devastating.
