garak at stsf :))

[vaguely-concerned]

the way garak looks at bashir as he puts all the clues together at the end of cardassians. the sheer 'look at that little twink go (affectionate, sexual overtones)' energy he manages to convey in the background there as bashir passionately does the presentation of their group project that garak did 80% of the actual work on. immaculate

i adore in fics when people find out about julian’s enhancements and then julian lets down his guard and people can see an actual a change, like suddenly there’s something unfamiliar about him? something much deeper and mature? not because everything about julian before the revelation has been a SHAM or anything, i just like the idea of all these intelligent people having totally underestimated julian, the young, naive doctor, when really julian’s been one step ahead of them the whole time, letting them see him a certain way. the concept of others finally getting to see they had the wrong idea, especially back when they sort of saw julian as somewhat less than, the whole time. it’s about that moment of oh. he’s been the smartest guy in the room the whole time. them suddenly not seeing naivety, but seeing power. that. i like that.

The fact that Garak was not in Dr Bashir I presume is such bullshit. Garak answering interview question? Finding out that Bashir also hates his dad? Complementing Bashir for his duplicity? We were ROBBED

[panicbones]

i feel ppl assume just cuz characters have insane chemistry it means they need to be shipped together. sometimes its better when nothing happens/its unfulfilled. it adds to the flavor. take for example dukat/sisko. there is undeniably something there (one sided) but under no means should they ever actually get together. ever. but dukat wants sisko desperately

Julian's line of "I needed another womb for the baby, and the only two other people on board were Major Kira and me." is already very. That Man Is Trans. and listen yes you can interpret it as him saying Kira was the only choice, but then it's literally followed up by Sisko saying "I think you made the right choice, Doctor." which I know is supposed to be a joke but the implication IS there that there WAS a choice and basically Julian is trans

Gayest baseball team known to man !!!

THEY PUT BASHIR AND BASEBALL TOGETHER, I CAN DIE IN PEACE. I don't even care for baseball in real life, but give me a movie or something that revolves around baseball and I go insane. So you can tell how I feel about this DS9 episode, it's one of my favourites just for that reason :(

GARASHIR FICS I HAVE LOVED RECENTLY

That’s right it’s fic recs o’clock baby! 

This Be The ‘Verse series by Vermin_Disciple

If the end of the show hurt you, this is a soothing balm to ease that pain, and in such smart and enjoyable ways. There are more ensemble-focused installments as well as more Garashir & Cardassia ones, and they all rule. This is technically kid!fic, but I implore you to check it out even if that’s not normally your thing, it really is that good and it’s Playing Around with the form in some ways you might not expect. The first fic in the series, This Be The Verse, sets the stage for how all the characters end up post-show. Tell Me You See Me is set earlier in the timeline, and has an amazing suspense/mystery plot going through it as well as a really interesting exploration of Julian’s relationship with his mother, on top of all the wonderful Garashir stuff, and A Bag Full of God is a *chef’s kiss* perfect deployment of deaging as a trope to examine character development and relationships. Also incredibly funny, in the best and most character-affirming of ways. 

In general I have loved every single fic by this author I’ve had the privilege to read, so just go forth and devour it all and I hope you have as good a time as I did!  

Too Wise To Woo Peaceably series by TakePenAndInk

I hadn’t thought I’d ever be interested in a full human!AU DS9 fic, and never in my LIFE have I been so ecstatic to be proven completely wrong! The pacing of character— and relationship development is immaculate, the prose in general and Garak POV voice in particular is so deeply charming, and it has one of the best and most painful deployments of The Little Julian That Lives In Garak’s Head I’ve ever seen. Add in astonishingly well-written, stupendously well-characterized sex scenes with so much emotional depth and joy and intensity in them, and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had with reading in general in a long, long time. 

primary, secondary by robnauts 

This fic does such cool and interesting things with the epistolary format, and also goes ham on a part of the worldbuilding of Cardassian society that’s always weirdly skirted away from in the canon itself — how queerness would fit into the whole ‘family above all (except the state let’s not get excited here)’ idea. Absolutely nails the tone of Garak’s ‘writing voice’, and builds the other characters so skillfully too. Had me crying like a baby by the end, extremely cathartic.

TL;DR you wanna have feelings about Garashir and the field of queer history? Because you’re gonna and it’s fucking great!!!

[unknownfaceless-ds9]

For some reason, I have grown incredibly fond of Vulcans.

And it doesn't matter if they're well known

Absolutely adorable for whatever reason

In a grey zone of being liked or not

Characters that grew over times

Or petty assholes that are way to obsessed over a human from their youth.

However, come what may, non of them will ever be able to outdo my undying love for this gorgeous man

No, I will not take criticism

(GIFS DO NOT BELING TO ME!!!! CREDIT GOES TO CREATOR!!!)

[ferryfoam]

I take back anything remotely negative I've said about Garak in any of my previous posts he has consumed my mind I cannot stop thinking about this unusual compulsive liar lizard .... he is such an interesting character and every episode he is in is a joy to watch ahhh !!! Today I watched In Purgatory's Shadow and ohhhh I enjoyed it so much ! I love how the tensions slowly rose throughout the episode I think they built suspense reallly well and the reveal that Tain was his father !! Ahhhh I don't even know what to say ! I was shaken ! It was so awesome! I imagine this all sounds a little silly to people who have seen the show before but goodness me I haven't liked an "I'm your father" -esque plot in . Ever probably

But they got me! I actually was surprised by a shock parent twist! And it was delightful! I love genuinely enjoying a show dude I haven't felt such childlike whimsy (for lack of a better term lol) in years .... I don't even care if they somehow completely botch the next two seasons ds9 they could never make me hate you I will consume with 0 critical thought and only naive excitement for the rest of this ridiculous space show

Also I get properly get Garashir now it wasn't really massively capturing me before but OHHH you guys were right I should never have doubted
