In my head I’m imagining Martok in prison seeing the 3 and a half pound Julian Bashir like “oh great there’s that fucking federation ds9 doctor who’s never been in a fight in his life and is a pacifist probably. Is he even going to be better company than that Cardassian? I hate my life.” And then like 15 minutes later after seeing Tain Julian tells off a Jem Hadar soldier and receives a backhand that quite literally sends him flying across the room only for him to get back up again and undeterred demand medical supplies Martok’s just standing there like. “Hmmm. It appears the string bean has a courage of his own.”

especially too bc like

you can smack julian about quite a bit and he’ll never break, he’ll never stop asking for what he was asking for and/or being a nasty, sarcastic bitch

but also crucially, I’m deeply into the moment where it’s established that julian is perfectly CAPABLE of fighting, he just… won’t. not with the jem'hadar, but julian who breaks up a fight between the breen and one of the Romulans and does it extremely easily, with all that STRENGTH?

my favourite idea of the camp is julian tending to tain bc i die so big over martok looking on as julian effectively ministers to and tends to tain, uses pressure points as much as he can to release pain in the absence of actual analgesics

and the fact that in his lucid moments, tain will be saying the nastiest goddamn stuff to julian… and julian will be saying even nastier stuff right back, while never faltering in offering care or, crucially, pain relief

to his ENEMY! from what martok can gather from the way they treat one another, his MORTAL enemy, and/or possibly father in law! what the fuck!

also God knows that when martok goes “ah, my wife, the light of my life. she’s a demon, she seeks only to ensure my torture and destruction, i would die for her”

julian thinking of Garak just like. “haha big mood”

Ok look we all talk about Sisko being ds9’s biggest best Dad TM (he is), but can we take a moment to appreciate Markot as Ds9’s grandpa.

like he canonically adopts Worf, Alexander and Jadzia into his house, Loves Julian and takes better care and interest in him then Bashir’s own parents. See’s Nog having a hard time and shows him respect and shares wisdom with him (like a cool grandpa). See’s Sisko as good man and they have that bro energy (their bets and wining at him when Sisko got him a promotion). Is proud of Garak for facing his fears (which were put there by Garaks father I might add).

the man just walked into Ds9 and was like, ‘ah guess these are my children/grandchildren now’

all I’m saying is that if it weren’t for Sirella he would have taken the whole Ds9 crew home with him.

i do like martok / bashir actually just in the benign sense where they like sometimes hook up whenever martok swings by the station and doesn’t have anything super apocalyptic to brood about w/ sisko. martok puts up a fuss when bashir frets over his old battle wounds & tests his monocular vision just cause he knows the good doctor gets off on being yelled at during routine checkups, tries to get all his war buddies psyched with tales of the great warrior who SPIT in the face of the jem’hadar and fought with more ferocity and mettle to save lives than the heroes of old did to take them etc etc, and then brings out this twiggy (in both physique and eyelash) little nothing, stuff like that. they spend a weekend at. idk. fuckin klingon fire island or something (i think it’s called Qo'noS in canon) just cause they both happened to be on weirdo missions in the same sector. worf has to hear all about it and he seethes inside because at least when jadzia brags about getting fingerblasted by a surgeon she’s talking about the probably-dead-definitely-retired-from-sex bones mccoy with whom he will never have to share a runabout nor compete for attention.

you might wonder why martok’s crew, a bunch of hardheads who themselves shunned him for not being bloodthirsty enough, would care about this soft handed little prettyman being a good doctor but i yada yada’d past the part where martok breaks a folding chair over bashir’s head and bashir is fine because of his ill defined superpowers and everyone in quark’s loses their shit
