I set out to animate him transforming into something but true to character he's just reviewing security footage instead

THE BELL RIOTS
This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.
That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:
I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honoring Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.
Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!
*Tense is tricky for time travel.
High-stakes improv that involves impersonating someone else is to Sisko what stealing the Enterprise is to Spock. He needs to be let out of his enclosure (Deep Space Nine) to covertly take the place of a gun-wielding rebel leader at least once per season for his mental health and wellbeing
Look how much fun he’s having in “Through the Looking Glass.” He’s thriving. That’s a Sisko in his natural habitat
I love how every other character that gets caught in the Mirror Universe is like "uh-oh, these people are evil, I need to get out of here" but Sisko is more like "alright, playtime!" And he also has no hesitation about making out with two of his senior officers.
Spock's eyeshadow this, Spock's eyeshadow that, what about Quark's smokey eye, huh? We need to be talking about this.
This post is kinda like my other one but a bit better lmao. I might make variations of this with other pieces of media but it depends onnn how well this is received
ETA - I'm gonna say that react channels or YouTube videos or podcasts count cause fuck it
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine // S01E07: Q-Less
realized that probably most people haven’t read the daniel martinico ds9 letter. this is classic literature me
I not only read this, I kept it on the cork board in my office for the entire time I was on staff.
"No action"? Come on, man. They let Sisko play baseball.
i want fox mulder and quark ds9 to meet so bad now imagine mulder being like wow. finally. after all these years. i’ve finally found proof of life beyond our world and the life beyond our world immediately tries to scam him out of 20$
You know, I bet the Ferengi have someone like Ea-Nasir and he's like. a saint or something
