Every time Odo gets even the slightest papercut, Bashir just goes “well Odo my boy, in my professional opinion…. what the fuck? Hit the bucket and call me in the morning, I guess. or don’t; whomst among us can truly claim to know what medical advice to give a sentient lump of play-dough?” and then he walks out of the room.

Odo and Sisko standing in the background like Garak’s gay dads waiting for him to finish his little date

Garak please

do you ever thinking about how literally everyone takes julian bashir’s infodumping as bragging or lecturing except Garak, who infodumps back

or how Julian never has to guess if Garak is being sarcastic or encoding a double meaning, because EVERYTHING has double meaning

and how if Garak finds that he doesn’t like Julian’s tone, he immediately tells him he doesn’t, rather than silently rolling his eyes or getting quietly irritable

and how Julian and Garak show their affection and respect for each other’s cultures and ideas by. debating them

and how when either of them DOES hurt or insult the other, they draw back and ask how they insulted so they don’t do it again? Garak does it about Julian’s age, Julian does it about Cardassia

and how Odo and Julian often work very well together even though they don’t really LIKE one another because they’re both very obstinate and linear in their thoughts - but Odo and Garak meet each other regularly for breakfast later on and are friends

i just. hhhhhhhh

i have a lot of feelings about how autistic humans respond so WELL to VULCAN communication and to CARDASSIAN communication

and its because allistic humans think cardassians and vulcans are obscure

but they’re NOT obscure. vulcans state things very bluntly, and cardassians state things very floridly, but they share in common a bluntness and directness in their communication that allistic humans often take as rude even when it’s stated it ISN’T

thinking about how Iloja of Prim, the poet, was exiled on Vulcan 👀 and feeling… Feelings
