Archiving/crossposting from Tumblr:

So in response to this poll on how many Quark ships I have, I was talking about the fact that, while I do ship Quark with everyone, Quodo is definitely "OTP" for me, both in the sense that it's the Quark pairing I spend most of my time thinking about and also in the sense that I do think Odo is Quark's one "True Love," so to speak. Not like I think True Love is a thing that makes sense in real life but in terms of narrative, I think Quark and Odo are set up as having long-term compatibility and being made for each other, more so than most ships involving Quark.

So then this inspired me to go through Quark's various love interests and rate them in terms of their long-term compatibility with him. No one asked for this but here we go:
