also, same kukalaka anon here: is that a real quote from siddig el fadil?? have you interacted with him??
if you mean the quote in my sidebar--?
"[Elmie is] not an un-charming person." - Siddig el Fadil, July 2nd 2021
the answer is yes to both - it's a real quote, and yes, i've interacted with him multiple times on zoom over the last two and a bit years.
he was talking to my mother when he said that. he actually said "she's not an uncharming person" and then corrected his pronoun usage to "they" but i truncated the quote for clarity purposes. c:
i met him through the sid city social club, which are free weekly zoom meetings he and his friend mel host, to talk to fans. he'll chat for 15 minutes to one fan at a time, and ask about their life, interests, and whatever sociological curiosity he's obsessed with at the time. (these last few weeks it's been "what's the best idea you've ever had?")
the meetings are still running if you'd like to join! anyone is welcome. the next meeting is on july 5th 2022, 9pm eastern time. they used to fill up in seconds, but there's usually plenty of space these days!

You were asked this on the Sid City social club and gave a great answer but I also wanted to ask: if DS9 were made today what do you think would be different? IIRC the discussion there was about the Garak/Bashir relationship and the fact that Kira as a sympathetic ex-terrorist would be harder to do post 9/11 but I was curious if you had other things you thought would be different… or wanted to elaborate on those, your choice. (Hope this isn’t too heavy or weird of a question)
I don't like to second-guess DS9. Like you said, I think if we made it now, Bashir/Garak would have an actual relationship or at least that possibility would be on the table. Kira's terrorist background would be a tough sell, but I'd like to think we'd go for it anyway.
In hindsight, I'd have Ziyal there from the start and have her be besties with Jake and Nog, so the duo would become a trio that might turn into a messy triangle as they got older.
I'd make Dax even queerer. A fling with Kira maybe?
But DS9 stands the test of time in my opinion. It ain't broke, so I feel no strong pull to fix it.

In today's episode of 'How Lue Found New Music In A Really Roundabout Way', I present to you, Djoon Am.
And how did I find it? Weeeell... I joined the Sid City Social Club zoom meeting with Siddig el Fadil (Alexander Siddig), and there was a watch party for a different song by Djoon Am.
Why? Because Sid is a very proud dad, and rightfully so. Djoon Am is his sons project.
I was so impressed, I looked up the other songs.
And. Oh. My. God. This music is soothing my brain in a way I haven't felt before. I have listened to nothing else since Monday. My mood is improved. I'm swearing about 50% less at my crochet. I'm getting writing done, when my motivation has previously dipped.
The album dropped today, and it's been on loop since.
Please, do yourself a favour and have a listen.

Unreal: what’s something you’d never thought you would accomplish but you did?
Get to talk to a person I admire, not once but twice. The first time was when the two of us went to the book fair to listen to Maria Turtschaninoff and get her autograph on Breven från Maresi - I'm still so happy the two of us got to do that!!
The second time was when I got to chat in the Sid city social club zoom meeting and just be me and have someone (Mr. Sid) just listen to me and not interrupt me even though I get very intense sometimes. And I got to show off my knittings too, how cool was that! I still feel so surreal about it tbh. Anyway, Sid is a literal human sunshine and I feel so lucky I got to talk to him

EP 1: Is this how life is going to be now?
(friends and social life crisis)
March 11, 2024, 9:45 pm
I always thought of myself as a story-teller. I thought I was this very thoughtful, very depressed old soul, always in my own head. Apparently a lot was wrong with that. My impression of myself is substantially different from how others perceive me.
FIRST LESSON: YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE AND YOUR ACTIONS ARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE. BEING CONCIOUS ABOUT BOTH PERSPECTIVES IS THE WAY TO GO.
I am turning 20 this June, I have no skills, barely any friends, no romantic interests or relationships, no life. For me, my day is get up, go to college, return home, eat, sleep and repeat. Can I do more? Of course I can. But somewhere along the line I forgot to talk to socialize. I went into my cubby hole with a blanket and watched life pass by . I saw my friends going to malls, clubs, restaurants, getting into new relationships, breaking up, launching businesses, failing, experiencing life. I didn't know how I was supposed to feel about that. You see I am not a very happy, cheerful person. I feel like I have this very dark cruel force within me. Every day I see my friends with their other friends and boyfriends and all I feel is not jealousy, not anger nor hatred, just this emptiness. Will I ever be able to show genuine interest in other? I think this feeling is called disappointment.
I'll tell you the social structure in my college. I am studying computer science engineering at a private college in my city. We are 55 students in one class(a lot more in the entire course), 18 of them are girls, the rest men. We (as in my current friend group and I) tried to be friends with everyone and make a large group of girls but it was nearly impossible because we have pretty different personalities. To make it easier to understand you can divide the girls into 3 main groups-one which is very quiet, plain and studious and make up the majority (approx. 10-12ppl), they are not (seemingly) interested in boys or party or just anything in general. Then the next is the exact opposite the party animals (3 ppl)- they barely attend classes and they barely pass them as well, have flunked a lot of them in the first sem. Then the 3rd one is ours- we are 4 ppl including me and we fall right in the center of the spectrum between these two groups. We study and get above average grades and we are also involved on the social side, Or so I thought...
My 3 friends are really confident in themselves, and why shouldn't they be. They are great individuals. They have worked hard to get where they are. But what I do dislike is the part were they diss other people (girls in general). It's always "How is that they only study and score lesser than us?" or "I feel like we are the only good-looking girls in the class, the type you could date you know?" and "WE ARE THE POPULAR GIRLS OF THIS BATCH". But my question is- ARE WE REALLY ALL WHAT WE SAY?
I mean they could be- one of them (Sash) is the daughter of a famous politician, she has her life all planned out for her -she is going to graduate college and help her dad with his business and political party, get married for power and continue helping her husband with the same. The other one (Ann) is really smart( highest scorer of physics, a very tough subject for us), has good social skills, is the class representative(I stood for it as well but lost, a story for another time), a gym freak (we call her muscle mommy), has guys falling over her left and right, the epitome of model student. The third and last one (Sid), the sweetheart, is a very simple minded girl, she is naive, smart although not exactly intelligent, but is very hard working. Recently she had her first situationship, the guy asked her out and it was her first time getting romantically involved with someone. I was genuinely happy to see her evolve through the stages, although as a late-bloomer.
Then there is plain old me. I had taken an year off to retry for the college entrance tests, I did not get into the college I originally wanted and the guilt weighs on me till this day. I have this complex of being older than everyone in my batch, I feel like I wasted my time. I am also pretty non-approachable in terms of looks. I have a resting bitch face which hides the insecure little shit I am. I like to read and watch content in any and all forms (anime, web series, manga, manhua, no matter what language, French, German, Italian, etc.) but I have never experienced anything romantic nor sexual. When I tell this to people a lot of them are shocked to know this. They are like "But you look experienced". I AM SORRY WHAT DO YOU MEAN I LOOK EXPEREINCED. ARE YOU CALLING ME A WHORE? Just because i have fuck-me eyes doesn't mean I have done certain things. I have also been told I have an intimidating presence. So a lot people don't approach me, which I find hard to digest because babies and animals are quiet friendly with me. Whenever I try to explain this to my friend they are like-"WHY ARE YOU INSECURE YOU ARE LITERALLY SO PRETTY?" or "WHAT PROBLEM WOULD YOU HAVE, YOU ARE REALLY SMART?" and most of all "ANYONE WOULD DATE YOU?". Now I don't exactly know if this is true or they telling me this to console me.
LESSON 2: WORDS DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING. ACTION IS ALL THAT MATTERS. YOU CAN ALWAYS CONSOLE A JOKER BY TELLING THEM THEY ARE FUNNY BUT IF THE CROWD DOESN'T LAUGH AT THEIR WORK THEN THEY ARE NOT, HOWEVER BADLY YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO BE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like I cannot talk about certain things with them. I have lost contact with a few friends I was close to, they are either busy or I don't want to disturb them with something this menial. Which is why I am writing about it here. When i was a child my mom read my diary and I have always had this trauma of opening up. But then again I used to feel so much better with writing stuff down, which made me think of giving it a go. This would also let me think about what i want to do with my hobby as a writer.
Next ep-my sexuality, love life, whatever minute up until now and sexual adventures and escapades I have had that I am sort-of embarrassed about but nevertheless helped me grow. I hope you learn something from my mistakes and your feedback would actually help me improve my life. So please don't hold back, both constructive and bad criticism can be given.

Dear #StarTrek fans, I would like to announce that Club IDIC Chronicles: Episode 30 - Fighting For Freedom is now available for viewing in the Club IDIC Chronicles playlist on my #youtubechannel: The Stormin' Latter-Day Saint. In this episode, we look at 'By Inferno's Light' from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and discuss many things, including: *Garak's relationship with Tain, how it affected him as an individual, and how it led him to seek out Julian's company. *Garak and Julian Bashir's friendship and deep connection. *Garak and Ziyal's relationship and Garak's inability to understand why Ziyal loved him when he struggled to love himself. *How Elim Garak is a divergent individual simply because he 'failed' to live up to the expectations that Cardassia and the Cardassian social standards placed on him. *How all people have their stories and they are more than just numbers or statistics. *The sad fact that nobody noticed that the real Julian was missing from the station for a month and had been replaced by a Changeling - How did that make the real Julian feel? *How it takes true courage to face fears, weakness, and their own divergence to the point where you use those things to better yourself, your life, and also attempt to help others. *How accepting yourself and the way you are is not the same as loving yourself. *How Garak and Julian were emotional orphans because of their divergent natures and how they gravitated towards each other quite easily because of that. *How Worf continued to fight during his time in the camp despite being physically broken because he sees giving up as dishonorable. *Worf and Martok's tumultuous relationship. *The famous, fan-created performances 'Alone, Together' and 'Little Achievements' that were performed by Alexander Siddig, Andy Robinson, and other wonderful actors from Sid City Social Club online some time ago. @startrek @startrekonpplus @podsundaydinner @visitornana @deep.space.garak @deepspacepride @syfy.sistas #StarTrekDS9 #episode #series #battle #idic #relationships #diversity #education #conspiracy #MentalHealth #emotion #health #selfworth #battle #impersonation #mentalhealthawareness #resilience #acceptance https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd6Zrv0pTRP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

one of my favorite small details about the little achievements video is this moment right here. in actuality a jokey way to explain the lack of prosthetics, yes, but the fact that they made julian’s reaction to garak asking if he likes the human look be such a firm “no, not a little bit. turn it off.” is so wholesome. no garak, wtf, where is my forehead spoon to kiss :(
