Isabel/anotherfallenchild /All things DS9/ Who knew a beautiful young doctor and his Cardassian boyfriend would ruin me, but then again why am I even surprised anymore.
She was ‘girl as plot point’ - in a show that touts its complex characters. I find her one of the most disappointing aspects of DS9 so far… so much more could have been done with her.

yeah exactly my point tbh i'm thinking the producers were like 'oh welp can't have more than like 2 main well written female characters at one time shitttttt' 

All Leeta’s story lines involve Bashir or Rom.I guess it frustrates me that you’re frustrated at Ziyal in this scenario instead of being frustrated by the misogynistic writers who couldn’t think to give her her own story and just used her for mangst.

 lmao i AM frustrated at the writers / that's why i'm frustrated by the character??? Cause they wrote in the elements about her that disappoint me. Im not frustrated AT Ziyal cause that's kindaaaa impossible cause she is not a real person that exists like she IS only how she is written so being frustrated by her character is in essence being frustrated at the writers? cause she doesn't exist without them and that being said  i've at no point blamed her as an individual character for the 'sins' of her writers anyway?

I'm just expressing dismay that we never get to know her character as anything other than a male angst prop / fawning teen stereotype - cause she could be a really interesting character if she was written well

Leeta is the same definitely and I don't like how she's written either it doesn't sit right with me AT all ( the number of '''jokes''' about her boobs like wtf ) which is my point about Ziyal, the entire way they've constructed her charater is off not to mention the creepiness surrounding her ''''relationship'''' interactions with Garak 

She’s not a mary sue she’s an undervalued underdeveloped female character as par for the 90’s T_T. In the very end of Indiscretion she says some really interesting things to Dukat who’s come to kill her, and she gets a cute one liner in now and then.

well that's encouraging i guess but i can't help but notice that all her storylines so far (like 2 tbh) revolve around either Garak or Dukat and not her soooooooo 

"Security Chief Odo

The alien shapeshifter known as Odo performs the duties of Security Chief on board space station Deep Space Nine. Odo is one of a kind, found alone in the Denorios Belt many years ago. In his natural state, Odo is a viscous liquid; he maintains a humanoid shape in order to better work with the crew and visitors on the station. Once every sixteen hours, Odo must revert to his fluid form, much like humans sleep at night — though Odo “sleeps” in a bucket! Odo rarely uses phasers or other weapons — instead he chooses to use his shape-shifting talent and keen detective’s mind to maintain the peace on the station.”
