metatheatre:also can we talk about how much i want to projectile vomit every time gul dukat has the fucking gall to look kira in the eye? gross gross gross gross i want to hurl just looking at this cap. i don’t do well with sexual power imbalances or rape stuff and i don’t think the show would ever go there explicitly but this is bad enough, him sending her dresses and touching her and actually believing in his twisted little mind that she could feel anything but revulsion for him. i need to go wash my hands.Reading this makes me want to {a} hurl in solidarity with you and with Kira and {b} hug you (with your permission, and only with your permission; alternate expressions of affection available upon request). Because one of the things that I love about this show but hate to experience is how brilliantly and unapologetically it does Dukat’s profoundly disturbing attempts at manipulating Kira into a position of Stockholm-Syndrome servitude. And that she never, ever, ever gives in, no matter how hard it makes her life. It’s a really beautiful allegory of resistance to abuse.Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over here, watching this video on loop. -- source link
