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.

It's Done!
Tumblr media
Three months of work from start to finish! All so I could finally present to the world:
Pocket, Minecraft Edition:
Tumblr media
Some standard rambles and fun progress images under the cut :)
So, I started this project in early August, mostly as something I could do during downtime of a then upcoming trip.
I had seen some absolutely amazing art pieces by @royalnaym which kinda gave me the idea that minecraft rendered in pixel art has a pretty interesting while still very recognizable look. At the same time I came across @groupcritpowerdynamics 's speedrun pastel pieces and those really inspired me to try depicting my favourite game in one of my favourite mediums!
In the middle of August 6th, while in the middle of packing for my trip to the UK, I decided I wanted to do this and I wanted to have it to work on during the trip, so I loaded up minecraft and went looking for a screenshot worthy of immortalization. Unfortunately I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I made a brand new world and started looking around for the right vibes.
I knew I wanted a lone tree, and that if I ended up including the hot bar I wanted some hearts and food missing, so after running around for a few minutes I decided I would just do it myself and planted a sapling to serve as my centrepiece.
Tumblr media
I gotta say I think the resemblance is striking!
And now as promised, the progress gif: mind the slight flashing, I did take these in all manner of different places including but not limited to: a plane, a handful of buses, and a small inn on the shores of England (not in that order).
Tumblr media
It's pretty neat to me that you can see how different tones of lighting affect the perceived colour of the thread, I definitely noticed it more on this piece verses other larger stitch projects.

Me, for the first chunk of today's @re-dracula entry: :)
Me, when This Shit Happens:
Mina, in hypno-mode, Dracula's consciousness and voice overlapping hers: "This is the way." Van Helsing: "How know you it?" I ask. Mina-Dracula, smug as hell: "Of course I know it," she answer, and with a pause, add: "Have not my Jonathan travelled it and wrote of his travel?"
:)
In all ways but physical, I am ripping Dracula out of his dirt box and washing his mouth out with a loaf of garlic bread
Whose? Fucking whose Jonathan??

Tails is missing.
Those three words echoed in Amy's mind as she paced around the Restoration’s control room and to say she was stressed out was a huge understatement.
Not only was Tails one of her closest friends, his big brother didn’t know about it…
And said big brother would be here any second.
They had sent the fox on a simple solo mission. It was easy. Just check out a spot that had a signal where a signal shouldn’t be. He’d done it plenty of times with Sonic so there couldn’t have been any harm in sending him off alone, right?
Wrong. Somehow his comm went offline and his location just vanished. Vanished! Tails never took off his communicator and would make a huge fuss about whenever someone did! He almost glued the watch onto Knuckles’ wrist for crying out loud! Why would he suddenly take his off?
It didn’t make any sense. Tails was way too cautious of this situation to be happening at all.
It was entirely possible that he accidentally turned off his communicator, but the fact that it hadn’t responded for almost 30 minutes shed some doubt on that optimistic train of thought.
Luckily, they had his last known location, which was a few feet away from the point, and that’s why Sonic was on his way over. If anyone could get to that point fast enough, it was him.
Only problem is that Sonic didn’t even know about the kit’s solo mission. Amy didn’t think they had to tell him because Tails was growing into his own hero and, again, it was a simple mission that shouldn’t have even taken him an hour! But, of course, the one time Sonic isn’t involved in any missions that Tails has, it all goes horribly wrong and now she has to explain that to the blue hedgehog who was rapidly approaching her location.
The familiar sound of a dash and volunteers getting angry came from outside the room and her breath hitched.
Chaos, he was here way too soon.
“Hey Ames! Sorry I’m late! Saw a chilidog stand on the way and you know me! Just couldn’t resist.” Sure enough, there was a chilidog in his hand. He took a bite before continuing, “So, what d’you need? What's up?”
If Amy wasn’t sweating before, she sure was now. The way Sonic was staring at her was enough to make her start crying right there. His usual grin and friendly emerald eyes unknowingly stabbing daggers right through her.
It felt like she had betrayed him. His little brother was missing and it was partially her fault. She should’ve just gone with her gut and told him about everything.
She just knew that Tails was working really hard to grow out of Sonic’s shadow (or at least that’s how he phrased it) and she just thought that maybe he’d appreciate getting a solo mission! Show him that the Restoration didn’t just see him as Sonic’s sidekick, but as his own person!
How she wished she could turn back time and stop herself.
“Ames?”
She had been staring.
“Ah! I-I’m sorry, must’ve just spaced out for a second haha!” She laughed nervously leading him over to the computers.
“Ooooookay. So what’s this all about? You said something about checking up on someone?” He asked.
Her heart sank. She had to tell him, there was no dancing around it.
“Yeah… about that,” She anxiously tapped her thumbs together.
Sonic cocked a brow at her, a teasing grin appearing on his muzzle. “Yeah, about that.” The hand not holding the chilidog went to his hip as he leaned into it.
She inhaled sharply.
Just get it over with, he needs to know.
“The person you need to check on is Tails.”
Sonic just stared at her for a few seconds before chuckling a bit. It felt so out of place but he didn’t know that.
“I saw him yesterday. He’s at his workshop.” He took a bite of his food, “Y’know, you should really visit sometime! It’s been awhile!”
When he noticed that Amy wasn’t smiling or looking at all relieved, his grin faltered, “Ames, he’s fine, I’m serious! If you need proof, just check his location!” He brought up his wrist, “Look, I’ll even check it no—“
“Sonic, he’s not at his workshop.” She blurted out before he could check.
The blue hedgehog stared at her as he slowly lowered his wrist. His grin was completely gone, a confused stare taking its place.
“What are you talking about?” He asked.
Amy took a shaky breath, “Please…please don’t get mad…”
Now he looked worried. “What? Amy? I won’t, just tell me what’s going on? Where’s Tails?”
You could always tell when Sonic’s patented “Big Brother Mode” was activating. He just had a certain stare he gave you when you even hinted that his little brother may be in trouble. It was a look of worry, fear, and worst of all, anger.
An angry Sonic was a Sonic you didn’t want to mess with. Not much really made him mad, his chill personality was definitely not just a public opinion, but there were a few things in life that really set him off…
and something happening to his little brother was at the very top of that list.
“Sonic, I..” Her voice shook, “I don’t know.”
—————
Sonic had been having a great day. A fantastic day, even.
He had spent it checking out old spots he and Tails used to make camp at, making mental notes that they should spend the night at a few of these locations for old times sake. It could be a week-long camping trip for them! It had been some time since the two of them slept under the stars together!
Visiting these places made him nostalgic in ways he never knew he could feel. He missed the days when all he and his brother had were a backpack and a few heroic deeds to their name. When their biggest worries were Scratch and Grounder, not gods and wars.
Back when his little brother was the sweetest, most adorable little four year old to ever exist (that was a fact, not an opinion).
They were simpler times.
He was so excited to get back home and tell his brother all about his idea so imagine his surprise when he gets a call from the Restoration saying something about needing to check up on someone who wasn’t responding to any calls only to find out that person is supposedly Tails.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” He didn’t want to get mad right after he told Amy he wouldn’t, but the hedgehog had no idea how long he’d be able to keep his cool. “Just…just tell me what’s going on.”
Amy turned her gaze to the floor for a few beats, tears pricked her eyes. He started tapping his foot impatiently.
He really didn’t want to be mad at Amy. She was twelve years old and, while she wasn’t in charge of the Restoration anymore, she played a huge part in making sure it stayed afloat. She was already under a lot of stress and raising his voice would not help that.
She inhaled before speaking. “We sent him on a solo mission and his comm suddenly went offline.”
She must’ve seen the look on his face because words came flooding out of her mouth to attempt to explain.
“Sonic, I swear it was nothing dangerous. We just had him go check something out! A weird signal! That’s all!” She cried out. “He’d done it plenty of times before! I-I just thought this wouldn’t be any different! I-“
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He cut her off. His tone was harsh and he almost cringed at the way it made her wince. The only thing that stopped him was the fact that his worry for his little brother’s safety was strongly overpowering his worry about hurting his friend’s feelings.
It sucked, but he was a big brother first and foremost.
“Because I didn’t think it was a big deal! He's gone to check Chaos Emerald reading on his own, this wasn’t any different! He probably would’ve even been back by now!” The pink hedgehog reasoned, a few tears had slipped down her muzzle.
“Yea, ‘not very different’. Except it’s very different because it was an unknown signal! Not a Chaos Emerald reading! That signal could’ve been anything!” He didn’t mean to raise his voice but damn it, he was stressing out. “And even when he goes to look for Emerald readings on his own, I still know where he is in case of situations like these! I always know where he is because he’s eight years old, Amy! He shouldn’t even be looking for readings alone but he does anyway!”
He didn’t even realize he had thrown his free hand up, still holding onto the chilidog in the other, and walked a few steps away from her. His free hand was on his forehead as his mind flooded with all the scenarios his baby brother could be in right now. Images of Tails being scared and/or hurt and his screams of pain played over and over again.
Finally, he turned to look at Amy. For a lack of better words, she looked awful. Her quills were a mess and she looked seconds away from breaking down.
“How long?” He asked
“W-what?”
“How long has his communicator been offline?”
It took a few beats for her to finally respond. “Around 30 minutes ago…”
All Sonic could do was stare. The chilidog in his hand fell to the floor with a disgusting splat.
30 minutes. 30 whole minutes. Chaos knows what happened to his little brother and it took them 30 minutes to call him?! Why was he even told to come to the Restoration HQ? He should’ve been at his last known location by now figuring out what happened!
Oh Chaos what if it was too late. It had to be, right? Sure, 48 hours was usually the crucial time when it came to missing children, but in this line of work, even just 5 minutes alone could spell disaster, let alone 30!
“30 minutes…why didn’t you just send me the coordinates?! Why did you ask me to come here?!”
“I don’t know! I- I just panicked! This has never happened before and I didn’t know what to do!” She collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her muzzle as she held her face in her hands.
He felt bad for yelling at her, he hated yelling at his younger friends, but self control was something that was in limited supply at the moment. He looked at the floor, his quills raised as if the knowledge of Tails possibly being in danger meant that the hedgehog was in danger as well.
His legs were itching to just get out of this damn room.
“I’m so sorry, Sonic…Tails could be hurt and it’s all my fault…I should’ve told you…I shouldn’t have even sent him alone…I’m so sorry…” She cried into her hands.
Sonic didn’t respond to her.
Instead, he looked around the room at all the Mobians who were staring at him in fear. None of them had ever seen the hero this upset before.
“Someone send me his last known coordinates.” He demanded. “Now.”
One of the volunteers at the computer quickly typed something into the device and clicked the mouse a few times. His own communicator in his wrist lit up with a notification.
A set of coordinates on the outskirts of White Park Zone.
With the location already memorized, he gave a nod to the Mobian at the computer who sent him a shaky thumbs up back.
He looked back down at Amy. He wanted to say something, wanted to say that it wasn’t her fault and that everything would be okay, but he couldn’t find his voice.
He ran out of the HQ, pushing himself to go faster and faster. He’d already wasted too much time talking.
‘Hang tight, keed. I’m on my way.’ He thought as the boom of a broken sound barrier shook the area around him.
—————
Somewhere far from White Park Zone, a little fox slowly opened his blue eyes. A headache pounding against his skull as he tried to make sense of the area around him through his concussion.
He didn’t remember much, only the feeling of something hard hitting the back of his head and blacking out. He remembered he was checking something out for Amy, it had been his first solo mission for the Restoration! Except that mission seemed to have gone wrong.
He just hoped his brother wasn’t mad at him.

I'm really not vibing with whatever staff is doing now. Not only does there seem to be a total internal communication breakdown, there also seems to be an absolute disregard for how the players are affected by this.
Like, ignoring the fact that the consistency argument doesn't even hold water, their takeaway from the Fern/Paisley thread seems to have been "oh we gotta change Breakup and Hypnotic too!!"
And then completely reversing Sandsurge Blend on top of that? A gene that's been out for over half a year and was only listed as having the gradient softened, not reversed? Just a total failure to communicate and an absolute bullheadedness in pushing the changes through despite the very reasonable player concerns?
To top it all off, none of these are bug changes, they are style changes. Someone saw these genes before they went live, greenlighted them, and put them in the game. And now, months upon months later, someone else (presumably) says "fuck that, I want the gene to look like this instead" and that complete change is just... pushed through??
Like. Did they learn nothing from the Butterfly debacle, from Obelisk Flair, hell, from the Eyepocalypse?
What the fuck is going on behind the scenes?
