wait speaking of tng and ds9 characters who should meet. I think garak and data would be SUCH a funny pair. like. garak has obviously heard julian speak at length about how kind and handsome and technologically miraculous data is so he’s like oh okay new arch-nemesis just dropped.

but then he actually meets data and data just. does not fall for any of his catty baiting statements, innuendos, or double entendres? he just responds genuinely when garak pointedly asks how tight data wants the collar of his uniform. garak is flummoxed like he’s never been before by this completely guileless extremely polite android.

#“i have studied cardassian culture. according to my research arguments are often seen as romantic or flirtatious. is this correct?”#“it’s faaaar more complicated than that… as im sure you know… but in short. yes”#“ah. i see. so since you have been attempting to agitate me this entire conversation-”#“-am i to understand that you are attempting to engage with me sexually?”#“….for the record no… but my aren’t you forward? no wonder dr. bashir likes you”#“oh. please inform him that i like him too. he is interesting”#“that he is. but never tell him i said so!”#….oh this concept kinda slaps tho#star trek

some different kelim configs i’ve been thinking of

• married
• kelimian polycule
• kelimian polycule + o'briens
• kelim open marriage
• queerplatonic life partners
• the “almost lovers but trauma” ship
• the “dated once, got back together” ship
• the “dated once, it was a disaster but we have too much history to live apart” ship
• the “two queer people looking after each other in old age” ship
• the “both hung up on other people but we like each other” ship
• the “we went through horrific traumatic shit together and now we’re codependant” ship

it’s my firm belief that once upon a time the cardassian thought police were busting up a function (bc what fun is ur 1960 all-american cold war liztopia if they’re not deeply homophobic, right? right.) where one elim garak secret agent was trying 2 find a hookup & he just joined the raid like it was his plan all along…. some awful pimply skink cop was starstruck like “wow sir i had no idea the obsidian order was involved in our little operation 😮😮😮” that genocidal lil scamp was just like haha yeah. this goes deeper than u kno son guls bless the union

Do I need to read the first book in The Fall series, or can I just read Crimson Shadow?

i see garak and my heart goes lizard <3

In the DS9 episode “The Wire”, Garak mentions that the lights on the station are always too bright. Knowing this (and assuming that this is a facet of Cardassian physiology as opposed to a withdrawal syndrome which would make sense since Cardassia Prime always seems a bit dimmer than other planets) and considering that DS9 has slightly dimmer than normal lighting, then the planet that the crew crashes onto in the episode “Rocks and Shoals” must’ve been awful for Garak. I mean, if I get headaches from being outside too long without sunnies on, imagine what it’d be like for a member of a species unequipped to handle bright lights for extended periods of time. 

On a funnier note, I’d think going from bright outside light to dim cave light would be a slower adjustment for a Cardassian, so I imagine Garak just walking into the temporary cave base and just running into everything for a solid five minutes.

for months after in the pale moonlight garak keeps like wandering up to ops or like waving to sisko and trying to politely remind him hes like totally there for him if he needs anyone killed totally off the books nobody would ever know or is up for another fun little espionage adventure and sisko is just trying to not make eye contact with him and takes it that garak is trying to start a diplomatic incident but he is actually just lonely and bored and thinks that killing the romulan ambassador should have made him siskos bff
