“return To Old Trek,” But It’s The Return Of 20+ Episode Seasons, Of Bringing Contemporary Scifi

It's both of them

put this man in these

Deep Space Nine and U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205 General Plans, from Doug Drexler's Facebook.

I hate that the ao3 tag says "Elim Garak". I am not on a first name basis with that man. Frankly I don't think he is on a first name basis with himself

My favorite thing about Damar is that he’s just a dude. Garak and Dukat are constantly scheming, speaking in euphemisms all the time, never fully honest with anyone around them or even truly with themselves, and Damar is just like, there. Like he proves this isn’t a Cardassian thing, they’re just Like That.

Dukat, talking about killing someone: I’ll make the necessary arrangements to ensure they’re properly taken care of.

Garak, talking about killing someone: You can rest assured I will do all that is in my power to make sure their stay is as pleasant as possible. But,, once they’re back in their own ship, it’s simply out of my hands.

Damar, talking about killing someone: We should have them killed.

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.

I love the Star Trek fandom because everyone has their own little niche. like I love J7 and tos, but i love coming onto someone else's blog and seeing its only ent and ds9. or they only post about miles O'Brien. Or are diehard supporters of tas and also specifically majel barret characters. it feels like going to buffet seeing everyone all sit down together with their random assortment of favorite foods

My faaaaaaavorite thing that Garak calls Julian in the lovely meadow of fics for them is "Impertinent Boy" 😊 makes me all warm and fuzzy inside hehe *kicks feet* 💕

Putting out what sketchiness I can cause like idk if I'm just lazy but EVEN MY STUPID SIMPLE DRAWINGS take like a day to realize. I have 20000000 WIPs rn pls accept this

These boys came in a matching set swear. Same daddy issues HELLO??????

(In Purgatory’s Shadow)

(Doctor Bashir, I Presume?) the way these were aired practically back to back.
