i do love how garak keeps up his "spy? what spy? i'm merely a humble tailor!" bit long past the point when it's fooling anybody. he'll go openly do spy shit and rattle off command codes, and then he'll turn around and smile at the camera as though butter wouldn't melt in his mouth and immediately say, "me? a former agent of the obsidian order? why, how preposterous!" and then will go off on his gay little way as though he didn't just murder someone for starfleet.

Rewatching ds9 with my partner and I’m not normal

[garakinator]

You are Tekeny Ghemor, about to go down for dissidence with your not-daughter. Suddenly, in pop some federation nobodies, along with exiled former-Obsidian Order bogeyman Elim Garak with a phaser set to kill, who immediately uses it on his former colleague with nothing more than a pithy one-liner.

How awkward was that ride back to ds9? Ghemor waited until they were on the station before telling Kira to watch out for Garak. How long was that commute? Was it awkward? Was the tension palpable? Did they interact at all? Did Garak put his “humble tailor” schtick back on despite just murdering a guy? These are things I am thinking about

STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS (2020-)

↳ Canon!Garashir in Fissure Quest, 5x09

[simptasia]

julian and garak are often used to show off the differences between federation and cardassian culture and ideals

so it would be rather delicious to juxtapose garak having internalized queerphobia to julian who is comfortable with his sexuality. the slutty open minded bisexual, who forgets such kinds of bigotry even exists. and garak, who on a surface level, seems comfortable with being queer. he'll certainly flirt and imply and swish his wrist

but like with most things garak, it's not so plain and simple

Thank you for giving me a little joy before my shift starts.

I just watched Alone Together on YouTube for the first time and... I'm sorry!?!?!? These two flirting like that?! I think I'm about to faint!

@need-him-pregnant-poll has inspired me to draw this (even though, at this point, Stanford Pines is probably going to become mpregnated and there's no stopping that I guess)

The story is now complete.

We know Starfleet did the equivalent to student exchange programs thanks to Riker serving on the Klingon vessel, what if Julian entered the same program and wound up on a Vulcan ship? Julian is worried because, if he annoys humans this much, how badly will he annoy a ship full of Vulcans? Meanwhile, DS9 can't help feeling a little relieved over getting a 'professional' doctor instead of the hyperactive twink they got in the first place.

Only, the doctor, let's call him Koju, arrives and... he's a typical Vulcan who thinks certain other species are below him and scorns Bajor's 'primitive' ways; Julian may have referred to the area as a 'wilderness', but he was in awe of it and hopeful to do good. Koju does his work, turns in his reports on time, but he has only middling respect for Jadzia as the Dax symbiote has lived so long and Sisko as his 'commanding officer' - everyone else, he talks down to.

Meanwhile, Julian is on the Vulcan ship under Captain T'Sith, someone who was a great admirer of Spock and reminds her crew to be understanding of Julian's human passions as the Enterprise initially tried to be respectful of Spock's boundaries. This is aided when Julian reveals he took a Vulcan class at the academy and knows the language quite well. Julian still tries to rain in his motormouth, only to find the Vulcans aren't annoyed by it; they welcome discussion and debate on topics, and help him with meditation when he feels overwhelmed. He occasionally gets the 'zoomies', but they recognize that some humans have trouble sitting still for too long and let him run around their gym while they are meditating. One of them might find Kukalaka but admit the doctor is little more than a child, especially compared to a Vulcan so it's like T'Pol talking to Porthos.

The time comes when Julian and Koju switch back but T'Sith is a little concerned since Julian let it slip that he annoys people so easily and she offers him a spot on her ship since Koju has been requesting a transfer back to the Science Academy. Julian replies that he'll think about it, especially since Koju would have another six months before the transfer can be finalized. Julian arrives back on DS9 and hears about how professional Koju was and promises to try and be more professional in the future, even mentioning T'Sith's offer of a more permanent transfer, and those like Kira and O'Brien can't help feeling like...

How does Garak respond to all this?
