Earlier, Sisko as he's skinny dipping: This is the most wild orgy.

Kasidy knows a thing or two about that.

I'm sure some of those changelings have spent their time being a piece of shit. And also feces.

“No, don’t transform into a piece of shit. Become the piece of shit.”

I always wondered if those rocks they’re sitting on (and the one he was skipping, I guess) were changelings who lost a bet.

Thank you, this made me laugh

What, you think Changelings leave the link to defecate? They're swimming in their own poop constantly already.

They don't even eat. They talk about it a couple times. Odo mentioning how he tried to fake eating very early on just to fit in and it was very messy. And then there was that time he showed off making a glass full of himself so he could pretend to drink to fit in at parties.

They never really did explain the biology of that. How they get by.

They're probably photosensitizing energy from the sun. That would explain why they're spread out in a giant lake, completely exposed.

But then how would Odo survive on a space station for so long? Sunbathing on the roof of DS9?

Or a UV lamp over his bucket, like a lizard

Can a changeling change their waste into whatever form they want, since they can control their own form? Just poop Snickers bars.

I already do, according to my cat

I never understood why changelings were prosecuted so much. I bet you they would be popular on earth. Imagine having one as a DM for a D&D campaign. They can be the miniatures and the terrain, transform into characters you interact with, and do so while being intimately aware of how these things act. They would make for cool friends, not to mention partners. Kira could get as freaky as she wanted.

We killed people for being witches over some moderate herb knowledge. You bet your ass we would be terrified of a being that can turn into whatever they wish at any given time.

When I said "I bet they would be popular on earth" I meant mainly within the federation version of earth. Yes, you're right that we have done such things but in that world we've been able to overcome our past. They've even made allies (and some have made friends) of the Klingon, their previous enemies.

A good show of what I mean is how they treat Odo even after knowing of the Founders.

Meanwhile out the back of Federation HQ they have a big set of scales for checking the weight of witches

Sure, but there is a world of difference between 1700 and today, and an even bigger difference between today and space faring civilizations.

I think the idea that changelings had universally negative experiences is crazy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

The fact that they were murderous, eugenic, tyrants made them a little troublesome. It's difficult to play D&D with a genocidal maniac who is currently seeking to enslave your entire galaxy.

Why don't they just go: "beam my doo doo up Scotty?"
