This plays like a really nice ending at first like "aw yeah Garak's a good guy in his own way after all :)" and then you rotate the events of the episode in your head a minute and realize that the only way any of this makes sense is if he was genuinely ready to turn them over to the military dictatorship and only changed course after Gul Dipshit was like "we can murder them and it will be epic and based" and Garak's mental calculus was "the terrorists are less of a threat to the military dictatorship alive than they would be as martyrs".
The quadrant's most charming and affable spook.
Do not doubt my power

Garashir be like: what if I forgave you for all your crimes that arent mine to forgive, my crimes arent even my own anyway?
What if you didn't think the crime of my existence abominable?
What if we were Angels cast down by our fathers, sheltered by foreign gods, defending lands we could never call home?
What if i didn't know how to be good? What if i didn't even know how to be myself?
What if i thought myself fundamentally unloveable? What if I loved you anyway?
What if it didn't matter? What if you were my only constant? What if I couldn't have you so i rebuilt my world in your image?
What if my arms remember the shape of you when all i am is rotted away?
Oh. Okay. At one point the studio literally forbade Siddig and Andy from talking about Garak and Bashir gay stuff. Wow.
(from an old and dated and uhhhhh pretty insulting and homophobic 1998 article about fanfic - https://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/05.07.98/tv-9818.html)
Like duh, it was the 90s, it seems obvious this must have happened and I heard the rumour, and I know this article must be infamous, but damn - seeing that confirmed? Wow.
Lol at Sid and Andy winning all the time. And thank you to Sid and Andy for persisting anyways. ❤️
“return to old trek,” but it’s the return of 20+ episode seasons, of bringing contemporary scifi writers to write episodes, of doing social commentary so acute it blasts the “it’s just escapism” argument to bloody bits, and most important, the return of silly costumes and camp
I'm crying this is SO GOOD AND CUTE
someone was promised a jumja stick before transporting back to the station (at the end of a very long day attending the peldor festival on bajor)
#garak #bashir #garashir #star trek ds9 #ohhh this is so lovely #so warm and all the little details 😍 #fan art
Again, thank you @startrekwintergiftexchange for hosting this again this year :) This is On-station Garashir for @space-dog-from-space
I wanted to try some casual scenes in Garak's shop. It is his shop in spirit and vibes, if not in canon appearance. I imagine Julian went to bother him after work with his vain federation reading of some book and after a nice bit of arguing and discarding of that horrid uniform, they went out for a nice dinner. That's all, praise me lots and lots please and thank you!!! :^)))))
Does Dr. Julian Bashir from Star Trek DS9 eat pussy?
I'm a nerd and I draw and right now I'm so hyperfixated on Star Trek I made a Tumblr, an ao3, and a Pinterest for it. ao3: CharcoalSavvy
