But Odo and Garak did spend more than 78 hours away while they were caught by the romulan-cardassian ships. So did Bashir go into Garak’s room to search for the “joke” isolinear rod. Like did he have the doubt “what if he wasn’t joking and I actually have to destroy some important spy business”. Did he find a rod. Did he check what was on the rod instead of eating it. Did the rod contain the star trek equivalent of Never Gonna Give You Up

Julian Bashir Playlist Time!!

Apple Music playlist (if you’re a heathen and subscribe to apple music like me) here

I know that there’s plenty of people making playlists, but I really feel like this is an under-utilized brand of fan content. Instead of attempting to create a list of songs that Julian would listen to, or a playlist of songs which were all lyrically directly applicable (though there certainly some of those in here) regardless of genre, I tried to create something which captured, above all, his vibes instead, by choosing songs that balance at least somewhat relevant lyrical content with the energy or feel that I associate with the character. What it means matters, but not as much as how it makes you feel. That said, I signed up for apple music and read a TON of those overwrought iTunes store album review descriptions while I was making this, so I have a whole lot to say about all my choices here. In depth explanation of my symbolism and methodology behind each song under the keep reading. (I love tumblr. I want to write 1,000 words of analysis about why I picked songs to represent Julian Bashir and some of you are gonna read it. This is where I get to pretend to be one of those iTunes music writers. I feel joy.)

Hello, Sigyn, my beloved. Many months ago, I listened to these songs and wrote about my reactions to them, and then I forgot. It’s been in my drafts for forever, so I’m just gonna say ‘screw it’ and post it.


Okay so I know I’m late (my phone is weird and spotify doesn’t like it) but I’m, finally listening to this! (It’s gonna take a while though because I’m making myself do work in between songs.)

And the first song is immediately a mood: “I need to let you in… It’s out of my control.” Yep, sounds like our Julian obsession. “I’m an alien when I’m myself.“ How is this so accurate? I don’t think you could write a more Julian-like song if you did it on purpose, and I’m assuming this artist did NOT do it on purpose because Occam’s Razor.

Sweater Weather is a bit less literal, but very much conveys the warm, safe, caring, protective vibes Julian just radiates.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really know what’s going on with #3. Weird, weird lyrics, but I guess that’s not the point is it? The vibes are nice; that’s all I can say about it. It’s very calm, but also upbeat and feels kind of like hanging out with a good friend.

Ah, a Mika song! (I know @sigynpenniman loves this artist so of course it’s here.) This one almost made me cry in front of my roommate- I was not prepared for the emotions in this song. “I don’t trust rainbows,” ouch that’s relatable. It feels like how after dealing with various mental health shit I’m always expecting it to come back. And that chorus “All this to say that it’s okay/No matter what life throws at you/I will always love the blue in you.“ Stop making me cry, Sigyn. (Just kidding please never change.) I’m gonna listen to this on repeat now. That “it’s okay” is just… exactly what I needed. You said this could be either FROM or AT Julian, but I think for me it’s both. He needs to hear it, and so do the rest of us.

The City: Wow that one line is really extremely uncomfortable despite trying to be reassuring and… yeah. The Vibes. It feels like that fantastic yet awful pic we were all passing around a few months back- the first-person perspective of the infirmary with Julian leaning over the camera. It’s comforting, it’s viscerally terrifying, it’s impossible to explain.

Sit Next To Me: This feels like it’s about the weird undefinable relationship thing. Also: “Just say the word and I’ll part the sea“ immediately made me think of that scene from Adventures In Space Bureaucracy in which Savannah is certain that Julian can help Elias, even though he doesn’t believe it, and then he does it anyways. He absolutely can and would part the sea for somebody he cares about, even if he’d probably doubt himself the entire time.

feeling insane bc it’s such a common fan interpretation, so common that i in fact have fallen prey to it myself, that julian is unaware or unreceptive of garak’s advances. i mean you can read it that julian is just a flirty guy, and he is, and that’s fine, but he does NOT act Like That with everyone. he does make eyes at people sometimes but the overall body language is different. i had forgotten until rewatching some of the classics that he initiates the flirting a lot, or at the very least he is responding to Cardassian flirting with human flirting to demonstrate that he Gets It (I think the boyish smile scene is a PRIME example, and it’s tragic that this scene seems to go down as “wow they’re clearly going through a rough patch in their friendship” when we canonically know how Cardassian flirting works and garak’s parting jab is either a straightforward needling about the fact that he’s aging [weird for them], a playfully sad acknowledgement of how war has changed him [writer intent probably], OR a reference to the fact that something else in their relationship has changed w/r/t julian’s perceived wide-eyed innocence. hhhhhhhhhhhh the subtext baby the subtext)

Biting Commentary

[Written for the drabble prompt “Fruity.” Also on AO3.]

—————————-

“…then the kid grabbed Garak’s hand and bit it, so hard he was millimeters away from hitting bone.”

“Did he taste fruity?” was Jadzia’s response.

“What? Why would he…? Fruity?”

“That outfit—green stripes, black spots on red. He looks like a watermelon!”

“I didn’t notice. I was too busy treating the bite wound.”

“Given how avidly you stare at his chest, I’m surprised you didn’t notice it was watermelon-striped.”

“I do not stare at his—”

“Oh, I don’t blame you. Tits that juicy, I wouldn’t mind taking a bite myself.” She winked. “Let me know if they taste fruity.”

Hi my name is Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir and I have short brown hair with ruffly bits and I’m not related to Bones McCoy but I wish he was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m an Augment. I have deep tan skin. I’m also a doctor, and I live on a space station called Deep Space Nine where I am a chief medical officer (I’m 27). I’m a twink (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly Starfleet uniforms. I love Garak’s Clothiers’ and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black jumpsuit with blue shoulders, black boots, a silver com badge, a purple undershirt, and eyeliner. I was walking along the Promenade. The wormhole opened, so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Jem’hadar stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them and then put it back down because I felt bad.

“Hey Julian!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…Elim Garak!

“What’s up Garak?” I asked.

“Nothing.” he said shyly.

But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.
