"it doesn't make any logical sense for julian to have hang-ups about being queer in the 2370s" is an objectively, factually correct take.
but I need julian bashir to have just bare minimum enough internalized homophobia for 'one of your girls' to be a garak pov garashir song
Beach vacay old men Bashir and Garak commission for Nat! An absolute blast to draw. But also while drawing I googled "nude Cardassian" and I should not have done that. One of life's many lessons.
Thinking about my favourite autistic augment burying himself in fantasy. Living through maladaptive daydreaming. Only ever unmasking while ostensibly alone. Of Garak forcing his way inside in Our Man Bashir, demanding Bashir to let himself be seen. Then unmasking so much of himself in that episode as well, doing it to push Bashir away and challenging him because he does think they're too different. Only for Bashir to rise to the occassion, silently saying - it's ok, we're the same.
