Reason #1,324,789 of why I love this show.

This was a casual side conversation between Bashir and Sisko about a fellow crew member, completely unrelated to the episode’s plot, and its just so sweet.

It’s nice to know that if you’re a pregnant father-to-be on DS9, your buddies Julian and Miles will build you a hatchling pond, buy you baby clothes, and throw you a shower eagerly attended by the station’s commanding officer (who was practically beaming with joy when he found out that you were expecting).

How wonderful.

And they speak of it so casually with no judgement! Love this!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD. I DID NOT KNOW THIS.

Vilix’pran gets mentioned a couple more times on the show, and we find out that:

A) he buds twice more, and had quadruplets during his second budding and an unspecified number for his third, bringing the total number of babies to between eight and 18

B) Kira says she’ll have to assign him bigger quarters after the third budding

C) and the babies have wings that can get tangled up with each other when they play together

D) AND ALSO that Vilix’pran gets promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant (so clearly Starfleet has some rockin’ maternity/paternity policies and thus parenthood is not an obstacle to career advancement)

The more you know. 😀

Well that got exponentially more adorable and awesome quickly.

No seriously, things like this are why DS9 is my favorite of all the series (sorry, TOS and TNG), and why Sisko is my favorite of all the captains (sorry, Kirk and Picard).

Figures that in a show focused on a BIG-ASS SPACE STATION, you would find out more about individuals than you do on a comparatively tiny starship.

Also I have the most immense respect for Sisko. He’s really the only captain who finds the balance between his duty and his humanity. He’s also just THE BESTEST DAD, scenes like this, and his relationship with Jake, and even how he gets all mushy and glowy over the infant Jem’Hadar in “The Abandoned.”

Also OMFG the dinner with Jake and Mardah, with Sisko being all freaked out, protective dad and then starting to warm up to her when he actually starts talking with her. 

THIS SHOW I LOVE IT.

So much yes.

Clu walks up behind Rinzler with a polishing cloth and starts wiping down the other little program’s helmet.

Rinzler doesn’t move, quite used to the other program’s assaults on his person. The broken noise he constantly emits…

Clu carefully folds the polishing cloth and sets it down, and then strides off, a backward glance asking Rinzler to come along.

He is kneeling, so he stands up.
“You are Clu” says a voice, and there are no feelings of rage, or fear, or bitterness…in fact, there are no feelings at all. Just a purity of consciousness, a clarity that seemed at once foreign and distantly familiar.

“I am Clu.” Clu speaks quietly, his memory…

Shameless promoting of my own RP blog. Kai-ni’s too.

“Flynn!”

Clu’s familiar voice rings out across the square, but he’s not calling Rinzler’s name. The enforcer becomes aware of someone else walking beside him, and the program… no, user, stops.

“Am I still to create the…

Fucking hell how did Spark talk me into this

Strange how often I hear that…huh.

My Clu army.

And yes, I have a one-handed Clu. No one is allowed to tell him that he is not perfect.

Thank’s to you, I’ve had the name “Clu” stuck in my head all afternoon and I was trying to figure out where I heard it from and brought myself to believe it’s a rover on Mars or something xD Whoops.

actual LMAO I think I just woke up the house XD
Clu is from Tron.

Take the hand off the one handed Rinzler

Clu demands to be perfect

The thought had occurred to me. Several times. But then they wouldn’t match. And then I thought how similar the Guard’s hand was to Rinzler’s. And then I wondered if I could make a mold of it, and my Perfect Clu, and just make spare hands. And then I realized it was prohibitively expensive and they could just stay handless.

I’d also yanked Quorra’s head off and given it to Headless Sam, but…Headless Sam is funnier Headless.

Just a little project I’m working on.

Crochet beanbag plush Clu. Because I wanted one.

I’m so glad there’s someone else who considers crocheting Clu to be a legitimate activity. I thought I was the only one. (ISN’T IT SO MUCH FUN PUTTING ALL THAT CIRCUITRY IN. T_T)

Oh yes. Such fun! And he isn’t even -finished- XD

Oh trust me, I know aaaaaaall about the circuits and the hair and the everything. Fucking Clu and his fucking need to be fucking perfect: http://coraregina.tumblr.com/post/35688302811/never-again-by-which-i-mean-im-drawing-up-plans

Also hey, are you on Ravelry? We don’t really have a lot of TRON folks there but it would be cool to have more, mine is here: http://www.ravelry.com/people/queenofcrows

And my projects are here, though there’s a lot of stuff that’s not updated yet since it’s packed in storage waiting for studio space: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/queenofcrows

YES. Making a character that has to be -perfect- and is demanding it in my head is like…oh shut up I am doing what I can here XD Two days of intense crocheting and circuit-embroidery though, and then my friend decided she absolutely needs an Uprising Tron so back to manic crochet mode. I swear I am going to run the town out of black yarn at this rate.

I love your Clu ^^ I’m not sure what to do about my Clu’s face. I’m used to making cartoon characters and animals, not people.

I’m not on Ravelry. Strange, I have been crocheting for almost 2 decades and I don’t think of it as something I would show off. Pff. Maybe I should. As I sit here literally wrapped up in yarn, surrounded by crochet hooks.
