terry farrell is like So genderful in her performance as dax & it drives me bonkers bc it’s impossible to explain to people without them seeing it. like you show them a picture & she just looks like a beautiful woman & you have to be like no I Swear. she Sells the woman who’s also sort of a man thing. watch her move and talk and you’ll Get It. but then you also feel a bit crazy as you say it

[ID: Ten gifs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine featuring Benjamin Sisko as Benny Russell, a science fiction writer in the 1950s. He is clearly agitated as he speaks.

He says, “I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it.

And every one of you know it. You read it. It’s here. You hear what I’m telling you? You can pulp a story, but you cannot destroy an idea.

Don’t you understand? That’s ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That future, I created it, and it’s real! Don’t you understand? It is real! I created it, and it’s real! It’s real!”
