Do you know what I am not over? That Julian’s genetic engineering included improvements to his height and weight. Even if his parents were, as claimed, trying to cure a learning disability, why mess around with his physical appearance? Because their perfect child had to be attractive too? It’s so messed up, and that’s the kind of thing that would also really damage a person’s psyche. No wonder he’s so upset about aging, if he thinks that he literally only has value in other people’s eyes as long as he can be considered handsome.
There’s a lot to unpack here too in how this ties into his interactions with women and how much of his early “oh please oh please go out with me” behavior is him seeking affirmation of his “value” by confirming that people do find him attractive.
Space Bros in Unisex Space Dresses! Revenge of the Skants!
Featuring the updated Bashir~
This was the original image I intended to make, Tumblr! Now you have me making like 8 variations on the outfits and going, “Wellll, I should do a command skant… and Sisko has a different body shape than either of these two… and three IS a good number for a set…”
Updated Bashir plus more outfit variations coming later, plus, probably, The Sisko.
I thought I was done posting fics for the remainder of 2020 but then SURPRISE, here’s another one. May I present:
Drawn by Heart

4k of Garashir schmoop in which Garak and Julian babysit Molly O’Brien, and they draw each other with crayons. ^u^
This morning I’m thinkin about how Miles dislocated his shoulder on the Enterprise and Crusher was like Ugh Okay I’ll go get the Osteotractor™️ and then Miles dislocated his shoulder on DS9 and Julian just fucking cracked it back into place then and there
sketch turned into: elim getting squimish about coming to his first/welcoming counsil meeting on cardassia once they got the new gov building up and running but realizes he cant scare his husband and child into letting him out of it.
Here’s my cover art for the lovely KahnDax zine Still Rejoined. I was so so happy to get asked to do this since I missed the application period; please go check it out and pick up a copy! I’ve gotten to see a little peek at the inside and everything looks incredible. Preorders are open now! Check out @rejoinedzine for more info.
I took inspiration from the Two of Cups for this cover, since it’s a tarot card symbolizing love, partnership, and unity.
While this piece isn’t available in my shop at the time of posting, it will be as soon as I have permission to do so, so please check back for a link in the notes! 💗🤍🧡 💖💜💙
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
