#obviously I would've preferred Jadzia NOT being iced and Ezri being a temporary mat-leave replacement or smth too

WHY was the fact that Ezri is technically around the same age(ish) as Jake and Nog not really brought up in DS9???? HELLO?????? We missed peak shenanigans of the three of them hanging out making pillow forts and being young 20-somethings together figuring themselves out despite the horrors of war!!! (Not to mention witnessing that would probably make for some good character moments with Kira) That would’ve been WAY better than watching her struggle to fill Jazia’s boots just because she happens to have the symbiont now and also whatever they thought they were doing with that thing between her and Worf and Bashir which was terrible- comphet really did wreak havoc on especially Ezri and Bashir’s characters in season 7. 

#ezri dax #star trek #deep space nine #ds9 #ezri #listen IK the answer is a lot of the writing in s7 sucks but the fun one off episodes are good! #take me out to the hollosuite and the casino episode? And Nogs's paper moon stuff too! #like the siege and paper moon aren't fun but they did have SOME good writing in s7! #It would've been an easy way to help differentiate her from Jadzia too! #also I don't fucking care if the symbiont emotionally ages the host they could just... not write that #or say because Ezri's a few years younger than normal it doesn't happen for her #yes hi I am full of DS9 thoughts and opinions and feelings rip me #obviously I would've preferred Jadzia NOT being iced and Ezri being a temporary mat-leave replacement or smth too #but this post works with the assumption that she HAS to be a Dax #in my funky ''there's 2 Daxes now!'' fic Ezri gets to be YOUNG!
