Yeah yeah Garak is an intensely selfless person who has as strong a sense of nobility as any character I’ve seen and I wonder daily what he could have accomplished if Enabrain Tain wasn’t his father and if the nation he was born into wasn’t rotten to its core and ready to pass its poison onto him. What’s it to you?
Alright, I did it, I put my Garashir playlist together for the world to see
It’s in no particular order and covers everything from dancing around each other’s flirtations to pining to reuniting on post-canon Cardassia
There’s some joke entries as well- which ones? Whichever ones you find most embarrassing! (my music taste is all over the place and I make no apologies)
Tumblr won’t let me post the link for some gotdang reason, but feel free to search it up!
(Note: some of these are more about vibe than 1:1 connection with the lyrics)
i don’t know how to insert a readmore in mobile so you’re going to have to deal with this post. bear with me. i don’t understand why ds9 fandom casts garak as some sort of suave oscar wilde daddy dom when he’s clearly the kind of older man who gets trashed at a casino at 3pm on thursdays and tips dabo boys extra to hold him while he cries
the first thing we ever see him do is beeline over to the very shiniest twink from a nation comprised solely of shiny twinks (while he’s fucked up on space oxy btw) like “hey, i usually don’t approach people from space grindr in crowded public places before noon like this, but i haven’t had sex in nine years, so hmu if you ever want to…. ‘visit my tailoring shop’……… as they say.” he’s not that smooth.
imo that’s the very thing that makes g/b so great. like while garak IS technically a dangerous feminine powerful enemy spy, which as we all know is julian bashir’s charmingly bisexual fetish, even when bashir runs into ops for the first time like “I THINK GARAK IS A SPY AND WE CAN LEARN ALL MANNER OF SPY SECRETS FROM HIM” jadzia is immediately like “bro maybe but i’m pretty sure he mostly just wants to s your d.” and it’s actually incredibly magical that it even works!! ONLY fucking julian “teach for america” bashir would look at this portly middle-aged disaster of lizard man like “holy shit, i finally found my very own bond girl, holy shit, my dream.“ i honestly honestly just don’t think people understand the central themes of star trek: deep space nine at all
things elim now knows about that starfleet ensign who accosted him from the moment his transport docked to when he managed to catch a hovercar to the embassy: 1. that he hadn’t heard of cardassia prime before today (and that he hoped elim wasn’t upset by that–it’s just that he’s a medical student, you see, so he finds his stellar cartography and diplomacy courses he rather dull… but he thought, when he heard the docking announcement, that maybe this could be like his own personal ‘first contact’ moment) 2. that he very much liked elim’s coat and (while holding the lapel between his thumb and forefinger) thought he could guess the material (he couldn’t) 3. that he offered repeatedly to take elim’s bag while they were walking through the terminal, 4. that he knows the best place to get sushi (what that is elim isn’t sure, but he’d been assured that he’d like it) and 5. that he has plans to meet him there at 21 hundred hours tomorrow
