in defense of ludger cherish being referenced in most AUPs narratives instead of heathcliff van bretus despite the revelation of his true name since long time ago:

heathcliff van bretus: although this is his (second) birth name, he spent most of his time under this identity getting thrown around by everyone around him. from lumensis to the bretus royalty, and sometimes even grander, his choice was completely stripped from him since his birth: being reborn as the holy grail, being branded and going through many assassination attempts for being an illegitimate child, and getting picked up and raised to live a harsh wanderer life by the legendary vampire. he never had his true freedom until he finally ran away in his 20s and threw away his birth name like it was his dead name.

his cosplay identities: although these identities were chosen by him with obvious deliberation, they were him but also not him. if anything, he certainly got a tad too carried away with the projecting and roleplaying, which makes one wonder if this is how he copes with his identity crisis while trying to find his true self in the strange new world — by taking comfort in cloaking himself in familiarities from the old world. in other words, one could say this was his questioning phase.

ludger cherish: unlike his previously fake identities, this one was unexpectedly forced upon him. despite so, this turns out to be the one that gives him the most freedom of self thanks to "ludgers" suspiciously convenient, fake background. if HvB is the godly vessel that he unintendedly fills up with his own soul and shapes for his own needs, ludger cherish is the human vessel that he subconsciously fills up with his own humanity. ludger cherish is a blank canvas — as this identity is not an earthly literature character, he has no references for how he must act or what he must do. what else can tell better about a person if not the way they fuck around and find out? coincidentally, ludger cherish just happens to be the peak of HvBs fucking around and finding out. despite his desperate need to hide himself, his talents, his kindness, his philosophy, his rationale, his emotions, his desires, his personal choices and acts — his everything cannot help but gradually leak out and become the essence that makes ludger cherish who he is to this day, to the point that it wouldnt be incorrect to say ludger cherishs personality is his true personality and ludger cherishs self is his true self. ironically, his most authentic self after his first life might have been the supposedly fake ludger cherish after all.

#ludger cherish aka. HvB finally makes his own dnd OC for once that aint blatant plagiarism #related theory: what if his true desire is simply to be able to live as his true self #but whatever his true self is is currently unknown/unexpected to him #unintentional trans metaphors in aup? more likely than you think #anyway i dont believe the title and how HvB is mainly referred to in the narratives are completely unrelated to aups ending #academy's undercover professor #academy's undercover professor spoilers #ludger cherish

no one asked but if i had to give elucien a government assigned hozier song i think a classic wasteland, baby! would be theirs. it’s literally a song comparing falling in love to a apocalyptic event and how it can be terrifying but so rewarding and delightful in the end. And i think that fits them very well :)

#acotar #a court of thorns and roses #pro elucien #pro lucien vanserra #pro elain #listen elain aint my favorite but i get her #i understand her and i think she deserves better than whatever the fuck azriel is #she is not a bat boy girlie #personally none of the bat boys should have ended up with any of the archeron sisters but well im not the author #lucien is such a good character too i need to keep him safe from sjm ols

Don't know if it's needed, but TW for mentions of suicide. (It's not really that big, but I still put it just in case.)

If Sans Undertale were to judge them (plus Whole) based on what happened throughout the series, I think it would go something like this:

Heart: Sans would let him pass, but he's most definitely keeping an eye on him. (Trying to shoot Mind)

Mind: Judgement when completing Pacifist, yet you were rude. (Mocking Heart, yet not really committing any acts that would potentially have him earn EXP.) [Is there even a different judgement for being rude during a Pacifist run? I seriously don't even know–]

Soul: Would probably be given a bad time. (Threatening Heart and Mind, threatening suicide, probably killing the two in a few timelines, etc.)

Whole: Would be given a lecture to STOP RESETTING TIMELINES. (Obvious; he would forget five seconds later.)

Headcanon #230

#chonny jash #submission #cj mind #cj heart #cj soul #cj whole #i love this idea #i think they'd be p much how they are in the album [like you said basically] #like Mind & Heart wouldn't end up with any exp [well prolly a low amount rlly] #even if they try or act like it. they never actually kill the other. at most just harm them #soul is the only one that has the will to do so but only if he's pushed that far #if Mind & Heart were to kill anyone. they'd both immediately reset afterward #heart does so accidentally either like. accidentally harming a monster or in self defense an kinda an emotional outburst [like the gunshot] #mind would end up taking it *just* too far & do too much damage [again like in the album] #both feel HORRIBLE after it all & immediately reset #Soul would only do it outta self defense rlly. and it would be against a strong enemy like the CORE monsters or like Undyne or smthin #i feel like a total worst possible scenario. like if a genocide route were even a thing for any of them. it would be from Soul #like maybe no matter how many times they get an ending they cant get “the right one”. like say they're all stuck doing neutral endings #[cos they aint whole or whatever] #so he just empties the whole underground hoping that #in the end he'd have enough control over the timeline or M&H that he can get the good ending or at least try somthin different #again that's like a rlly big maybe tho lol. if a geno route were to ever occur. dunno if soul would even get through it all #cos 1. he'd still feel horrible about it & 2. mind & heart would at some point work together against him. #In short. none of them would actually kill with malicious intent. just by accident or outta self preservation #As for Whole. Hes just like. A guy™ Wouldnt kill no matter what. Like when he knows he can reset. He'll just come back & do smthin differen #Also yes he would def reset a shit ton. Both from dying & wanting to see different paths [also definitely learned sans' secret passwords] #whether you see him as a separate entity from HMS or not. He's the only one that can get the pacifist ending. or at least start it. #sans views on em basically; M&H-ur aight just like. chill out sometimes. Soul-def relate on the whole “there's no going back/give up” thing #but also take a breather my guy.

Husk's ears twitched as that new clock in the new hotel lobby told him it was past two in the morning. If he were topside, he'd be stumbling home from the casino bar, maybe some hot thing on his arm, maybe he'd be alone. Alone. It was a state Husk got used to in Hell. It felt ironic considering his best friend never left him alone now. Friendship is funny like that. There's no set time at which it forms. It just slowly is.

The ringing of the clock brought him back out of his head. He winced. Stupid sensitive cat ears. Angel Dust gave him a sympathetic smile. Any smile looked good on him, but Husk hated that one the most.

He stared into that amber liquid glass, then back up at his companion. It'd been a quiet night of drinking. Normally they shoot the shit, but tonight they just sat with each other.

"Do you think I'm a good person, Angel?" Husk felt the words tumble out of his mouth before he could stop them.

He studied the bar top, running a claw lightly over it. What a stupid drunken thing to say. He heard Angel hum in thought. No immediate denial or immediate agreement. It was the silence that felt worse. Was it really such a hard question, or were they both that drunk?

"I guess I've never really thought about it," Angel started, and Husk saw a pink gloved finger join his shapeless tracing, "but why do you ask?"

Husk shrugged his shoulders. His claw ran into Angel's finger. He kept there. Angel didn't move away either. Accidental lingering touches, the two of them had a lot of those these days.

"When you eventually get redeemed," Husk said, pausing to roll his eyes at Angel's indignant snort, "I just wonder if that's something I could ever..."

Husk let his words trail off. There was something unspoken there. He knew Angel would figure he meant 'if I could get redeemed too,' but that was the thing with words unsaid. It was easy to manipulate them so that no one could ever tell what Husk was really feeling.

"I mean, I don't know, Husk," Angel said with a sigh, "I don't think about you in terms of good and bad."

Husk raised an eyebrow at that. He looked up at his best friend who was studying their touching fingers. Angel's thinking face was almost as cute as his angry face, the rat bastard.

"So how do you think of me?" Husk asked.

Angel moved his finger to interlock with Husk's claw. Husk tried to keep his face neutral and controlled. He took a sip from his glass. He saw Angel's mouth quirk up into a smile out of the corner of his eye.

"I think about you, in terms, of the things you do," Angel said softly, taking a deep breath then continuing "the things you do that make me happy."

Husk didn't have a response for that. He supposed he should. He just nodded, like he knew what he meant, even if he didn't. He met Angel's eyes. He loved to study them. They were unfairly pretty, like the rest of Angel. Unfair. It was a word that described a lot of how Husk felt these days.

"You don't get what I mean do you?" Angel teased.

Husk chuckled at that statement. It was nights like tonight where he felt his age, topside and in hell, that everything felt heavier and darker. Angel made him feel lighter.

"I mean, it was vague as hell, kid," Husk said.

Angel rolled his eyes. He unhooked his finger from Husk's claw, and instead slid his hand into his palm. He interlocked their fingers. Husk glanced up at Angel warily. Angel just laughed.

"Always so suspicious," Angel muttered.

Husk just gave him a glare, but from the way Angel was smiling at him, he knew it held no heat. Angel took a deep breath and told him about the time Husk found him relapsed a couple days after the hotel was rebuilt. Husk was as trashed as Angel was. Sir Pentious was all Husk had said, and Angel had nodded in response. Husk remembered this well. He remembered how if he were a better man, he would've cleaned Angel up, and he wouldn't have been so drunk himself. From Angels point of view, Husk was surprised to learn that Angel was comforted by the sight of him. The two had leaned against each other, back to back, hand in hand. They felt the grief of a lost friend, a lost friend that had more good in the two of them combined, lost to a blast of angelic power.

"You remember what you said before you snoozed on my shoulder, old man?" Angel asked.

Husk snorted and shook his head.

"I'm surprised you remember given how high you were," Husk replied.

Angel hummed in response. He drank the last of his pink drink.

"You said, 'it ain't always gonna be like this, kid. Hell may be forever, but grief ain't,'" Angel said wistfully.

Husk grimaced.

"Ain't no way I said that cheesy shit," Husk teased.

Angel laughed and then one of his gloved hands slipped into Husk's other hand. He squeezed both hands before letting go. An unspoken assurance. Angel leaned back in his seat smiling at Husk.

"Well, it's getting late," Angel said, "I should probably get back to my lonely, lonely bed."

Husk rolled his eyes at that. He offered out a hand, and Angel raised his eyebrows. Angel placed a gloved hand in his. Husk pulled it up to his lips and gave a gentle kiss. He let Angel's hand go, and looked up to a very pink spider.

"Night, kid," Husk said.

He winked and then grabbed the glasses remaining on the bar. When he placed the glasses in the sink, he looked up to see the spider had made his way half up the stairs, but had stopped.

"Hey Husk?" Angel asked.

Husk hummed in reply, wiping the counter top with a rag.

"I changed my mind," Angel continued, "I think you're a pretty good guy."

Husk stopped, and looked back up at Angel. The guy was smiling at him, a goofy fond smile. Husk felt the hollowness in his chest start to fill with something he hadn't felt in a while.

Yeah, maybe the path to redemption ain't so bad.

thinking abt bellum v hard. (fyi there are 1658 words under this cut)

there's not a lot of concrete stuff to think abt but there ideas. he's kind of already won by the time link shows up on the scene. he's not really actively antagonizing the world of the ocean king, he mostly just has the ghost ship to go around collecting prey for him while he has the yook and anouki turned against each other and seems to have infested the different temples and whatever with monsters to delay any opposition. is he the one who destroyed the cobble kingdom? they're meant to be supporters of the ocean king so i think we can guess that bellum is the one who tried to eradicate them.

maybe he was the one who... mind controlled? or otherwise meddled with the yook to keep them from checking out the ice temple and keeping the anouki occupied with dealing with them. (tbh theres some untapped potential in the relationship between the yook and anouki) he doesn't really do anything to the gorons but maybe he doesn't see them as a worthwhile threat since they see the crimsonine as more of an artifact and not something they should really do anything with, and link has to pass a test to even be allowed to go to the temple. the cobble kingdom is already destroyed, and it can be assumed that he mightve mimicked their engineering based on eox being the hostile boss of the last temple and turning into sand, suggesting a relationship to bellum, and maybe that he's trying to hide the fact that he's the one fucking with everyone. i'm not even sure if characters (besides the main group) even know that bellum exists until link's quest is more known.

taking a note from the manga, where bellum says something along the lines of feelings of love and friendship creating more worthwhile life force for him, so taking that into account with stuff in the game suggests that he maybe doesnt make his presence well-known to avoid something like a mass panic or a persistent fear in people, which could downplay positive emotions that makes their life forces more worth taking to him along with other worthwhile forces maybe being ones connected to divine power (like his taking of tetra and seeming desperation to keep her specifically, since she's most likely a descendant of hylia's mortal form), so he likely is very hands-off with how he's affected the world in order to preserve the value of his prey, somehow. idk why he turns people into statues maybe its a preservation method. maybe hes saving tetra for some reason or maybe trying to bait link in as well. maybe he wants to grab link, too, but failed to catch him the first time and resorted to allowing him to go down the path of dismantling bellum's work all so that bellum can try and capture him himself.

the spirits he does manage to capture and left alive and instead just sealed away within their temples, which i believe is because spirits and gods and whatever in loz can't really die unless they explicitly permanently become mortal (hylia) and can only really be sealed away temporarily in some form, mostly due to a lot of them being a sort of representation of some part of the world (i like to imagine that demise is the god or whatever who created monsters, he's the father of monsters and opposes hylia due to the way her favored creatures [hylians ig] attack and kill monsters and he wants the world to be habitable and safe only for his creations)

it's probably safe to say that the ghost ship (like. the whole thing) was created by bellum, and in some form is perhaps some kind of living being, hence why bellum is capable of effectively possessing it the way he does, since it's an extension of himself like the boss monsters, it just maybe takes parts from some existing ships, or maybe it's not alive and bellum is capable of creating large structures like that he is compatible with.

bellum himself turns to sand when he is defeated, as well as most of the other boss monsters, but the cubus sisters (who certainly have a relationship with bellum due to having the same eyes and being connected to the ghost ship) do not turn into sand, which makes me think that bellum didn't actually create them; maybe they're corpses or something being remotely puppeted by bellum.

bellum is clearly made up of the sand of hours, a crystallization of life force, and oshus is said to have used those sands to create the phantom hourglass, and the sands are also mentioned to have been created from the force gems connected back to oshus himself, so bellum was probably created from those force gems and therefore those sands of hours at some point somehow (i enjoy the idea that oshus was the one who created bellum; with oshus being our main source of info on bellum, i think it'd be interesting if he was the one who originally made bellum but obscures this fact by just talking about how he 'appeared' and whatnot).

bellum seems to have a weird sort of... inverted? perverted? ability to create life (perhaps a sort of parallel to the one we can assume the ocean king has if we assume that he created the three spirits as well as bellum maybe) but only in a hivemind or derivative sort of way, only able to create things that follow simple commands and when he possesses something else he takes it over. (i like to take him in a more biological or physiological way rather than magical, when he is removed so is the control, but there might be little remnants, but his influence is gone. i take bellumbeck aftereffects to be terrible sickness rather than others going with the idea of taking on some bellum-like traits or residual controls. the things bellum creates can only follow simple rules unless he is directly in control therefore he can use it as he wishes, but if he takes control of something he did not create, it's a bit more of a battle, he has to contend with that other being's subconscious or whatnot and has no effect unless he is physically connected. his control is more limited and ends up incorporating some of the hosts' subconscious desires with some guiding from bellum himself to achieve a favorable outcome.)

with the world of the ocean king being a sort of parallel/separate world to link n tetra's great sea, it's interesting that the ghost ship can be physically present outside the world in which it was created. definitely there can be contact between different worlds in loz (like hyrule and the dark world/lorule in alttp/albw and a little bit with termina if you take that as a literal place and a little bit with koholint and then the twili realm and whatever i'm missing) but it's interesting to see bellum as a villain capable of (in some way) contact and interact within other worlds and drag inhabitants of those other worlds into his own (oshus can send people out of his world, so i assume he can also bring them in, maybe that's how link gets in despite falling off of the ghost ship, unless somehow the ghost ship is still within the world of the ocean king but is also present in the great sea but the area around it is a fragment of whatever part of the world of the ocean king its in superimposed over the great sea... idk) so it's interesting that bellum could bc considered a villain able to tamper with or at least interact with world boundaries to let things in and out, maybe it's something that he is only capable of with whatever power he's attained by the start of the game.

whatever relationship he may have to oshus and the other spirits is not at all a part of the game, but at the same time we don't learn a whole lot about them anyways. there's also stuff with the chief of the golden frogs as another ally of oshus, but i imagine bellum didn't bother with him because he has no relation to the spirits' locations and the pure metals, and zuaz was left alone perhaps because his location is secret, while astrid and kayo were maybe found due to living on a more populated island (more prey for bellum to go after, more people to know about astrid and kayo). a lot of the monsters in the dungeons were probably already there, while the bosses were specifically made to protect what was hidden there, or maybe the bosses came first and their presences attracted other monsters.

i think bellum created the two monsters you fight overseas on the spot; they existed specifically to try and kill link because at those two times (link going to get the final spirit and link going to get the first pure metal) bellum suddenly panics and decides to try and eliminate link at the cost of the loss of a possible worthwhile piece of prey. bellum was probably also the one to begin the rumor of the ghost ship; i imagine he can take a sort of human form the same way oshus can, and spent a bit of time after defeating oshus and creating the ghost ship integrating him within some pirate crew and using them to grow and spread the rumor of the ghost ship, eventaully leading them towards it and taking them has his first victims (and along the way taking the time to foster good relationships with them in the hopes that their positive emotions and feelings would make them more worthwhile prey, back to the manga snippet idea of feelings of friendship and love [and probably positive emotions in general] being another form of better life force).

bellum's cool

back on my bullshit reading the twilight saga for the fanfic and i feel a crit analysis a-brewin and i kEP THE FUCKMEYER HANDLE JUST IN CASE THIS EVER HAPPENED BOYS WE'RE BACK AT IT AGAIN-

#no im just kidding crit lit aint back on the menu boys #haha unless #no but i really am breaking down the points of narrative failure in Eclipse bc i feel this is where things really took A Turn in the series #there were A Lot of literal and metaphoric conversations that needed to be had in this book - developed and continued - and instead #there just *wasn't* any of that. #if you're going to have your series set up as a discussion of vampirism vs humanity #ok #here it goes: #(fuck) #twilight is pro-vamp/pro-death/pro-immortality #whatever you want to label it as in the narrative #now in New Moon we have the introduction of the other side of the coin: humanity. this is where jacob really shines #Eclipse should have been a “dig your hands into the dirt” book & really break down the rebuttal of “well Bella *should* choose vampirism” #like- have it hurt! have it be messy! have bella *really* weigh the consequences of losing everyone except edward forever. have doubt! #what feels so unsatisfying is that the narrative leans so blatantly towards immortality - it downplays the pro-humanity argument #and it does it in such a way where the downplaying is noticeable and it sort of ruins the whole discussion #this is how you give your readers a satisfying ending to your series. you do not have to answer the question 'which is better: #immortality as a monster? or mortal life as a perfectly OK human?' #what it DOES have to do is allow your readers to really think about the discussion at hand. #and when you don't give your readers the space to do that - when you corral them into a choice without letting them come up with their #own opinions and answers - they're going to feel as though there's something missing. because there is. #(now: this is *different* from Bella being a biased narrator. in fact - Bella *should* be biased because this is written in 1st person #(but having the writer's hand so blatantly in the book is akin to having a photographer's hand in the shot. you ruin the immersion) #i'm marking up a PDF right now with a bunch of commentary on Eclipse and honestly..... it's been fun. #..........uh. #if i came back as fuckmeyer would yall support me LMAO

[findafight]

Saw an earnest yet completely inaccurate or misinformed take and it's like okay fine fine just ignore that even tho they're out to lunch on what happened in that scene no need to comment keep it to yourself. Or at least your own post's tags

#as tho being fifteen and asking your friends to ask a favour for you is a personal slight #or that the bb game was planned weeks in advance when im pretty sure they said they found out the night bfor bc they won that game #at most it would have a week notice #that that was the schedule. and hlfre was a weekly club. not an event. a weekly activity #so like ya i gues ls could have asked for the reschedule but it was already clear eddie held no love for jocks so why would he think eddie #would do that for him? mike and dustin had better chances considering Dustin's closeness to eddie. #also playing a major session let alone a finale without one of your players sucks bc you play to have fun with friends #literally like. eddie is 19/20. lucas is 15. and already an outsider in hlfre as demod by the distain for 'jocks' #this aint all on him #and acting like lucas feeling like ddie doesnt like him is irrational is just. idk. insulting #i was trying to be vague and then wasnt lmao #basically if i were lucas i would have absolutely asked mynfriend who was club leaders fave to ask to reschedule dnd bc #i wasnt expecting our team to get to the finals but still wanted to play the FINALE SESSION #i get the other members would have been bummed but like. 'we cant reschedule bc this guy graduates in three months and-' #'mike is gone for a week' comes off very 'you picked your side and i dont like it so now deal with it' to me #but the other members would just have a night off. it was already clear for hlfre. because it was hlfre night. #so itd be disappointing for them and maybe frustrating having to wait two weeks but. #idk id rather wait two weeks than have a missing party member. or a REPLACEMENT??? for the FINALE #like whatever you can think eddie was right for not rescheduling but it wouldn't have been the end of the world #tbh no wonder lucas didnt sit with all of them. i dont blame him at all #sorry for the tag rant its just. cannot believe folls think its lucas' fault. #also where is the teacher advisor for this club. why were they not making this decision. #also what if some of the other hlfr members wanted to go to the game? #they set up an interesting parallel of eddie ALSO being stuck in his veiw of the world and how one should act but did nothing with it #idk if i should tag this st or not for my own benefit or jsut. let it sit #finda's rambles #finda writes stuff #there. ill be able to find it maybe #idk feel free to reply to this post #i just got worked up into a protective rage on Lucas' behalf

also. as sponsored by the song featured in my last post. cheers to all the other kids who went through a ~serial killer phase~ that had literally fucking nothing in the world to do with any sense of ‘oooh ohhh theyre so FASCINATING i wonder why they would DO THAT’ or whatever these true crime bitches are going on about. here’s to all of us who saw our own monstrosity as an inevitability and had some vain hope that if we stopped resisting we wouldn’t hurt so bad all the time.

#to be UTTERLY fucking clear: i am far from proud of that phase #but i dont pretend it never happened #and ngl #i think that my reason was FAR more valid than what those true crime shitheads are on #i never WANTED to be like them. i thought i had no choice in the matter. #but hey guess what!!! i didnt end up being a domestic terrorist ^-^ #<- and THATS as much detail as ur getting folks. the specifics are locked in a vault and i aint showin it off to anyone #whatever the fuck #ask to tag

On Finishing DS9...

I have now finished Deep Space 9.

And I am extremely.... utterly....

d i s a p p o i n t e d .

HOW IT SHOULDVE ENDED BASICALLY:

jadzia never dies

there is NO "ezri" because jadzia never dies.

worf gets to redeem himself with being a better father this time

alexander jadzia and worf get to be happy together as a family of four

did i say jadzia never dies?

jadzia never dies.

we get to see some happy rom justice From being nagus

but also wait even NOT AS NAGUS itd be SO COOL to see him be A CHIEF ENGINEER TOO OR SOMETHING CUZ HES EPIC AT THAT AND LOVES THAT STUFF, BEYOND JUST A SMALL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN A PRIOR EPISODE??

quark gets to get some kind of reward and staple growth rather than barely budging from his bartender status since s1e1

quark MORE EXPLICITLY shouldve grown out of his sexism and traditional ferengi ways better than they "had" him in the show - like i get not EVERYTHING has to be "dynamic" but come ON.

wouldnt mind if quark actually gave at least a totally clean pat on the back for rom - but i wont emphasise this too much. even vice versa wouldve been cute...

quark and odo should have an even better friendship now, with at least a DIRECT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO EACH OTHER

odo never leaves

odo and kira stay together, happy and beyond the need for the accursed link - as odo HIMSELF SAID HE FINALLY FELT HE FOUND SOMEWHERE TO BELONG VIA KIRA AND DS9 LIKE IDC HOW MUCH CONNECTION HE FELT WITH THE LINK HE'S LITERALLY REFUSED IT A BILLION TIMES JUST TO COME BACK TO KIRA LET IT STAY THIS WAY GOD DMNNNIT

kiras had so much DEATH around her throughout her life, let her be HAPPY WITH ODO???

the link gets f'cked.

odo decides to GET the link f'cked as he DECISIVELY MOVES ON FROM IT CUZ THIS IS WHAT ODO WOULD DO ESPECIALLY SINCE HE GOT DS9 AND KIRA LIKE WHAT WAS THE POINT???

the founders LITERALLY KILLED 800 MILLION + LIVES FROM THIS WAR THEY SHOULD GET FAT F'D TO DEATH WTF

female changeling shouldve died - BARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT

Vic Fontaine should've gotten his own permanent holo-suite so he can live his life continuously.

keiko should have gotten ACTUAL STUFF TO DO (not even just ending)

o'brien never leaves ds9

o'brien and bashir should be better friends now TOGETHER ON DS9 especially after that kind of confession from bashir when in Sloan's mind

maybe through o'brien bashir can find happiness in not necessarily having a "boyfriend" relationship - same goes for quark and odo

BENJAMIN SISKO DOES NOT GO OFF INTO PROPHET REALM/BASICALLY DEATH UH NO NO NO

YOU CANT JUST LEAVE JAKE, WHO HAS ALREADY LOST HIS MOM, TO NOW LOSE HIS DAD TOO, EVEN IFFF KASIDY IS THERE NOW LIKE WTF???

the long awaited gul dukat vs ben sisko end-showdown was a LET-down - there should've been 20 MINUTES TO IT AT LEAST INSTEAD OF LIKE 2 SECONDS???

there should have been a real engagement between kira and gul dukat where kira gets some DAMN JUSTICE FOR HERSELF AND BAJOR

SAME WITH KAI WINN - kira shouldve HAD HER WAY against kai winn besides the passive alternative they went with - not saying violence and fighting is necessarily always the better kind of ending but let's be real this was deserved bro ugh.

the ending conflict SHOULD NOT EVER EVER EVER have been THAT EASY with a single linkage making the female founder just "oop nevermind im done with war lets go be happy together and stop killing people hahaha no biggie" LIKE BTCH WE NEEDED TO SEE THE END OF THE JEM'HADAR OR LIKE BETTER YET MAYBE EVEN A LEGITIMATE INTERNAL IMPLOSION OF AN UPRISING OF THE JEM'HADAR REVOLTING AGAINST ITSELF AND THE VORTA AND THE FOUNDER LIKE WE BEEN SEEING THEM HAVE THIS CAPACITY AND DEFECTION IDK IF THIS WAS A DEVELOPED ARC THIS SO COULD HAVE WORKED - the cardassians took this role instead, which i dont mind terribly but man ugh

the ending was so STUPIDLY rushed like WTF IS THAT - idc if there were network issues or conflicts or paramount exec disputes or cancelation - makes me so sad it ended like this like HORRENDOUSLY rushed

the ending flashback montage of each character in ds9 only featured clips from MOSTLY the later 2 MAYBE 3 seasons, NOT very well comprehensive through seasons 1-7 - but main issue is that IT IS NOT EARNED. NOT. EARNED. WITH SUCH A HAMFISTED SHORT AF ENDING.

i know you can complain and be like "well at least this show GOT an ending, unlike unfinished TOS cancelation at S3" but like bro ds9 got a greenlight for an ending 25th episode so why structure the arcs to be this long and drawn out and have almost next to NO pay-off ugh

ALSO TOS GOT A WONDERFUL CONTINUATION IN THE CINEMATIC SEASON AND ENDING IN STAR TREK VI

WHY TF IS E V E R Y O N E LEAVING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

NO ONE LEAVES.

ONE BIG HAPPY DS9 FAMILY.

In conclusion, Deep Space 9 did not have a canonic ending,

and F u, Berman.

#what a HORRENDOUS ending #all characters were done dirty #extremely rushed #idc if it is because of possible cancelations or execs or paramount or whatever #what is this fat BS. #this is a T E R R I B L E ending. #nah #i am 100000%%% ignoring this ending. #ds9 DID NOT end this way. #nope. #f the canon #this aint canon no more #disgusting #wtf #ds9 what you leave behind #ds9 #deep space nine #deep space 9 #star trek #almalvo #i hate all of this. #all of it. #zero chance of redemption. #this episode does not exist. #so pointless. #the ACTUAL ending is: #nobody dies #nobody LEAVES #i got through 7 seasons for this. #this ending never happened.

just when you think a failed lesbian talking stage is the worst thing that could happen to you this year your best friend makes sure to be on top by lying to you and hiding having a boyfriend for 6 months for no reason whatsoever 🤣

#i literally feel like the situationship aint even that serious like now shes an angel compared to this #shit like this literally has me realizing that literally nothing matters i should be out doing stupid things for the plot #whatever happens no matter how it ends it wont be upsetting as this sooooo #live laugh love or whatever #honestly seeing the guy was eye opening #i too would not tell my closest friends if i were dating /that/
