Soulmates, but with the British meaning of “mate.” Two homies bound by a platonic string of fate.
After a long shift in a Cardassian hospital Dr. Bashir is finally home.
I don’t think the Arkenstone is a Silmaril but I do think that Thranduil “son of an Elf from Doriath” Elvenking looked at this little mortal who had stolen a marvelous gem from a king—not to keep, apparently, but to freely give to strangers—who was sacrificing this treasure, his safety, and perhaps even his honor, but to prevent bloodshed—and drew some definite Silmarillion associations.
(And when he said “You are more worthy to wear the armour of elf-princes than many that have looked more comely in it,” he may not just have been speaking of metaphorical, abstract elf-princes.)
i think star trek should write an in universe reason why some series don’t have swearing and some do. make it a universal translator glitch or something.
the captain of each ship can turn the swears on or off when they want to
Kirk would have kept the swears on but any ship carrying Dr. Leonard McCoy is required by Starfleet regulations to turn them off

Followed by a screencap from Star Trek: The Original Series showing Spock raising an eyebrow, it is captioned in all caps, "Fucking Nuts Dude."

A pair of turquoise-throated puffleg hummingbirds, illustrated alongside a flower of the genus Vriesea, by English ornithologist John Gould for the fourth volume of “A Monograph of the Trochilidæ, Or Family of Humming-Birds Volume”.

Everybody drawing Hua cheng and then there’s me … drawing this rat and his son 🙃✨💚
Because I can't stop thinking about it now. Nielan is compelling in a tragic way if you take into account the *multiple* ways they were doomed from the start. Specifically, in ways they would both be painfully aware of.
