I’m a big fan of the “fuck you, Cardassians have tails now” trope to come from the DS9 crowd. Enlightened.

But why? Why the fuck do they suddenly have tails? They aren’t reptiles. No where in TNG or DS9 is it said they are reptiles or used to have tails. Or that they have tails and are chopped off for whatever reason. Why the fuck do people think they have tails or should have tails? Is it some weird ass furry crap infringing on Trek lore or what?

I mean look in terms of character design I think it actually makes sense beyond trolling. Stepping away from anthromorphising aliens in star trek is good because “human aliens everywhere” is one of the ways star trek feels less embedded in it’s universe.

i mean i could take it either way tails seem to fit with cardassian design star trek deep space nine ds9 deep space 9 garak dukat cardassian yes i am giving less credence to the whole a bunch of races came from one place thing cause i think that was a convenient canon for saving on costuming and alien design

i don’t know what the ds9 writers were going for here, but having julian flounce around, with a posh attitude, and a pipe constantly in his mouth did not read to me as umm straight.

HEY, WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T THINK ABOUT JULIUS EATON GOING OUT ON HIS LUNCHBREAK TO HAVE A QUEER RENDEZVOUS WITH ELIS GARRICK, AN OBVIOUS TRUMAN CAPOTE OR TENNESSEE WILLIAMS EXPY.

You wrang?

(Also maybe Elis was a war vet as well as a writer and has some scars to prove it. Maybe he was a cynical and torn up and thought no-one could love him and then he met Julian and it all changed)
