Ok, but what do you think Cardassians swim in? Do they swim with their regular clothes on or do they
because showing shoulders=slutty?
I picture them in 1800s-type men’s style bathing suits, but the first option opens up so many new possibilities! Maybe that’s like the speedo of swimsuits - slutty but technically socially acceptable.
Cardassians swim naked.
Well that could make for a hilariously awkward hollosuite date with Garak just stripping without warning leaving Julian all flustered.
Excellent either way
this idea wouldn’t leave me alone so i wrote some fic about it at 3am
flustered Julian & nonchalant Garak under the read more
I know it’s probably just altered but I like to think that Garak has two versions of this outfit with different necklines.
I hope his closet is full of variations on the same outfit arranged by how much neck he wants to show on any given day.
It’s also the same with his yellow and purple suit
And his watermelon suit
It looks like with the watermelon suit that the collar is adjustable from an undershirt layer. The other ones look like they’re entirely 2 separate suits.
Maybe he needs the different collar lengths too for when his neck ridges are swollen/puffing out.
Or maybe he wants to show off that as well?
My headcanon is that – after being super slutty the first time he approached Bashir (in the watermelon suit without the undershirt) and then toning it down – he lowered all his necklines between seasons 3 and 4 either (1) because he started sleeping with Bashir or (2) to try to get Bashir’s attention because the, er, “subtle” approach wasn’t working.
