Odo and Quark NEVER looked more married than in this episode!
They’re the total opposites of their DS9’s selves:
Odo is a big submissive to hierarchy twat who doesn’t care about what’s right, almost actual fascist, who let himself getting fucked by bigger fascists cause they have more power than him,
Quark is a revolted, almost up in arms, and progressive as fuck electric battery who can’t stand any kind of injustice, like not letting women be published writers or impeding Black people from writing.
Btw, I suspect these 50’s New York Odo and Quark are an actual gay couple, that no one except their colleagues know, and while Quark wants to yell it on the rooftops, because GAY RIGHTS, Odo refuses at all costs to let the world know. Maybe that’s why he’s so bitter, so submissive and so pessimistic.
While his cute social justice warrior is combative and unyielding. X)
Also that end, wow! Such a meta end!
“What if Benny exists and we are the dream?” says the guy who actually wrote that episode.
hey since changelings can survive without an atmosphere what if odo just yote himself out the airlock sometimes when he Needed A Minute and just kinda hung onto the side of the station and vibed. feels in character for him
I need some art of Quark in his Onesie jammies in his quarters and all of a sudden Odo just slowly floats by with his arms crossed and an “I’m watching you” look on his face and Quark is just befuddled.
