were y'all aware that andrew robinson kept a diary written in character as garak to help him develop his acting. were you aware he turned it into a full length novel and published it. were you aware the entire “diary” is actually a series of letters each formatted as “my dear doctor,”
Honestly the Cardassian cultural breeding kink + the possibility that Barkan’s only child is actually Garak’s is deeply funny. TFW you’re less virile than the service class nancy boy you personally made wash out of military school
Garak’s Suits as Cardassian Xenoorchids (3/?) - S2E22 The Wire
I took the Edosian orchid from Father and slowly lowered the pale, dangling feelers over the prepared soil. These orchids were his favorite flowers, and somehow he was able to make them grow in this section of the Tarlak Grounds. -
A Stitch in Time, Andrew Robinson
This particular suit has a lot going on but I think it’s my favorite and maybe one of the costumes with the most echoes of orchid spotting patterns yet. There’s some lovely striping in these purple panels that is only visible in the lucky spots on the set lighting. The petals on this design are mixed and mashed from two types of Earth orchids.

i know that ASIT enjoyers generally presume it’s all or mostly true in the beta canon world at least, but you have to admit it’s funny if garak invented tolan because he wished he had a better dad. just, y'know. listen doctor i know you met my dad but i actually have a much cooler dad. you don’t know him because he goes to school in canada
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fucking gorgeous the German cover of A Stitch in Time is? That’s a a great picture of Garak, but, more importantly – the background! Deep Space Nine, Cardassia at its height, and then after the Fire, hastily stitched together, edges not quite brought together. Garak’s life consists of disparate pieces – he has played many roles, worn many masks. Only his memories tie them all together into one life, but even then, they are scattered and disjointed.
Of all the insights into Garak’s psyche I expected to have through reading A Stitch In Time, “Garak has a fondness for Rom because Rom means exactly what he says,” was not anywhere on the list. I’m here for it though.
Anyway I think the ASIT fandom should talk more about how it is very heavily implied that Palandine attended an officers’ wives club that doubled as an orgy
This is all she says. You tell me if I’m reading this correctly or if my mind is in the gutter:
“It’s either [The Oralian Way] or a meeting of the Bajoran Occupation Support Group,” she laughed with a delight I hadn’t heard in a long time.
“It was a while ago, Palandine. I don’t know if they’re in the same place … or if they even meet tonight.” Her enthusiasm rendered me as helpless as it did when I first met her.
“We’ll find out, won’t we?” She started to leave. I had no choice but to follow. “What is this … support group?” I asked.
“Abandoned women whose children are either grown or away at school. We’re supposed to support our heroes, but we end up supporting each other.”
