now imagine how nog probably jokes a lot with his crewmen when he's captain that if they need reminding to hustle, he'll just plant his prosthetic up their ass and hop along

Oh my god no that's so sad
And very like him reslly

hatepig
no no
because it's totally a joke
"do you know how well i can hop"

onetobeamup
I like it

"I used to literally kick cardassians over the wormhole"
"That's a crock of shit" "YOU DON'T KNOW"
"HOW OLD ARE YOU, TWELVE" "I'm eighteen" "YOU'RE A *CHILD*"
"COME BACK WHEN YOU'VE ACCRUED PROFIT" "WE'RE A POST SCARCITY SOCIETY" "PROFIT HAS MANY MEANINGS"

I LOVE

nog isn't the captain who is "a father to his men"

hatepig
nog is the captain who is a dad to his men and they argue a lot, lovingly

👍👍👍

i imagine adult nog is basically a less jerky and sexist quark
you notice how quark shows affection by berating
same deal
BUT *ALSO* IMAGINE OLD QUARK SHOWING UP TO THE CEREMONY WHERE HE BECOMES THE FIRST FERENGI STARFLEET CAPTAIN
JUST KVETCHING THE ENTIRE TIME
"THEY CALL THIS A CEREMONY WHERE ARE THE DANCING GIRLS" "uncle please" "THEY SHOULD BE CRUSHING BEETLES AND FEEDING THEM TO YOU" "uncle just have some food" "IT'S REPLICATED IT AGITATES MY STOMACH"

I LOVE
I must draw later

hatepig
quark is like "you're a good boy, nog, you could've been a great businessman" patting his arm
nog just takes the compliment without comment

onetobeamup
👀👀

hatepig
also imagine nog getting a personal congratulations message...from SIsko
recorded before his vanishment, while nog was in the infirmary
"I can't see the future, so I can't compliment your exact deeds, but I'm proud of you. I'm proud of the man I know you'll become, but I'm even more proud of the scared, angry boy who came in to my office and demanded his shot at a brighter future. I'm glad he got what he worked so hard for."
oh no i made myself a little teary
this backfired badly

onetobeamup
I' may cry
