the thing about joe hills of nashville tennessee is that on a server of folks roleplaying mad scientists and zombies and kings and creeper-goats and kakashi of naruto and mayors and businessmen and slimes and iskall and dungeon masters and doom guy and dwarves and elves and aliens and whatever the gigaverse is, you have Joe Hills The Regular Human Guy From Nashville (Tennessee), and yet his normalcy is frequently more bizarre somehow than whatever else is going on. and this never ever fails to enchant and delight me.

#many of my most favourite episodes of hermitcraft are of joe just doin joe things #the entire empires arc where he writes his resume and hands it out and gets a job with pix is just SO so good #ive rewatched it at least twice #and im beyond excited to get my Official Signed Joe Hills TCG card im gonna frame it with my signed Cleo card n keep them on my desk #joe hills #hermitcraft season 9

With the announcement of the new movie starring Michelle Yeoh, it seems I have to go on my Section 31 rant again.

Section 31 was only done well in Deep Space Nine because the writers of Deep Space Nine understood that SECTION 31 ARE THE BAD GUYS.

They were used as a foil for the grey morality of the show as a warning of "This is where you will go if you continue on this path". Section 31 was the logical endpoint of the show's themes of sacrificing your ethics, morality, and principles in a pragmatic "the ends justify the means" mentality in order to defend those ethics, morals, and principles.

Because you CAN'T.

If you compromise your ethics, morals, and principles in an attempt to defend those very same things, what exactly are you defending? Things you yourself tossed aside when they became inconvenient.

All three (yes, there were only three) episodes of DS9 centering on Section 31 featured Bashir resolving the conflict of that episode WITHOUT compromising his integrity as a citizen of the Federation and a Starfleet officer.

Up to and including preventing Section 31 from committing genocide. Yeah, remember that? When Section 31 infected Odo with a degenerative virus so that he would spread it to the Great Link and kill all of the Changelings? Then specifically stonewalled Bashir when he attempted to find a cure?

Section 31 is not just a tool for telling happy funtime spy stories in Star Trek. That organization is called Starfleet Intelligence and was already around long before DS9. Section 31 is an unauthorized unelected black ops group that functions outside any chain of command or authority that can place any checks on their use and abuse of power. You know, just like EVERY OTHER evil Starfleet officer in every other episode where some Admiral goes off the deep end and starts doing shady shit the Enterprise then has to stop.

Section 31 are the bad guys. They are not antiheroes. They are not just the darker side of Starfleet. They are not the people who must do the evil things that have to be done. They are just evil. Period.

#star trek #section 31 #deep space nine #ds9 #star trek deep space 9 #Don't you think there was a reason that Sloan showed up in all black looking like the Gestapo once it was revealed who he was?#BECAUSE HE WAS EVIL #If you want to do 'Sometimes we must do evil things for the greater good' that episode was called In the Pale Moonlight #The episode's framing device is Sisko baring his soul in confessional because he knows what he did was evil

[ID: 13 gifs from season 3, episode 1 “the search, part 1” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show benjamin sisko and jadzia dax in the wardroom. jadzia is seated while sisko is standing in front of a monitor.

1st gif: “you know, after jennifer died, i never thought i would see you this passionate about something again.” jadzia tells sisko.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th gif: the camera shifts to sisko, who has his arms are crossed in front of him and takes a couple of steps forward, the camera moves with him, “two months ago, i would have agreed with you.” he takes a seat, and the camera focuses on him. “then i went back to earth and i spent all those weeks debriefing at starfleet headquarters. and i… i used to get a thrill just walking into that building. i'd look around at the admirals and think, "one day, that's going to be me." "one day, i'm the one that's going to be making the big decisions."” sisko is slightly smiling at the end.

7th gif: jadzia laughs as she recalls, “curzon always thought that was very funny.”

8th, 9th gif: the camera cuts to sisko, “did he?” then back to jadzia as she explains, “what i mean is he could never see a set of admiral stars on your collar. he thought that just making the decisions would never satisfy you. you had to implement them – “

10th gif: a shift to show sisko listening to jadzia, “see the results, face the consequences.”

11th gif: “curzon always thought you were the kind of man who had to be in the thick of things -- not behind some desk at headquarters.”

12th gif: “he was a smart old man, wasn't he?” sisko gets up and returns to the monitor.

13th gif: “he'd like to think so.” jadzia confirms. /end ID]

hi. if you like weirdly intense mentor-protégé relationships, War of Faith (追风者) might be for you.

the protégé: Wei Ruolai, a little potato, a poor, brilliant, idealistic boy whose n:o 1 ambition in life is to... work for advisor Shen Tunan of Central Bank. apparently. as his personal assistant.

"My life is not worth much anyway," Wei Ruolai says,

wow. ok.

and this is Shen Tunan, Wei Ruolai's boss and mentor. here he's looking at Wei Ruolai who has just said something very smart.

i'm going to eat that little potato for breakfast —Shen Tunan, probably.

people. these two have Chemistry. Shen Tunan keeps looking at Wei Ruolai like he can't quite believe his luck at having found such a sweet potato and can't make up his mind about which part to bite into first. and Wei Ruolai is just *incoherent noises* he's just so earnest. he's quiet and smart (and also very stupid) and tenacious and a tiny bit of a brat, and he lights up under Shen Tunan's attention.

Shen Tunan: "You spoke well earlier."

Wei Ruolai, having looked bashfully away:

ahem.

praise kink, anyone?

#to be fair anything can still happen #i'm only 10 episodes in and there are only 12/38 out as of writing this #but so far this show has been so good #the story is intriguing (and so far very nuanced re: propaganda)#and the side characters are interesting and complex #so it doesn't feel as if there are yibo scenes to look forward to and non-yibo scenes to suffer through #i sincerely recommend. please everyone watch this and scream about it with me and also write fic about these two #shen tunan #wei ruolai #shenwei #(i decided that's the ship name)#war of faith #追风者 #wof ep 9 #spoilers
