Why is mirror Kira so queer coded? Don’t get me wrong, I’m here for it, but was that something that was intentional?
It was intentional to portray Mirror Kira as Kira without the guard rails. That includes things she could definitely use, like, you know, a conscience, but it also means Mirror Kira doesn't suffer from denial, religious hang-ups, or general self-repression.
Was just watching the first mirror-verse ep in DS9 and I thought it was interesting how the course of events were changed bc of Kirk + co’s visit in “Mirror, Mirror”.
Mirror Kira says how after Kirk talked with mirror Spock, he became a whole different person and rose in the ranks to create something new for the world, which before he never would have. Mirror Spock was like “I just enjoy working in the science department, I don’t want to be a captain” but Kirk changed all of that!!!?!
In every timeline and universe, Kirk and Spock affect each other. In every way. No matter which Kirk and Spock they are.
When your alternate universe counterpart wears slightly taller heels than you....
I've been itching to draw Kira with the Intendant forever and this rewatch finally motivated me.
I also just finished working on a project i can't talk about yet, but I'm very excited!
[Image ID: A digital painting of Kira Nerys and the Intendant from the mirrorverse. They are shown from the shoulders up, they are almost kissing. Kira is just a hair shorter than the Intendant and she's got her eyebrow raised, leaning back just a bit like she's hesitating. The Intendant on the other hand is smirking and leaning forward. The lighting is very dark with barely any light hitting Kira's face. There is harsh blue rim lighting. End ID]
