We don’t talk enough about the moment at the beginning of our man bashir where Julian tells Garak not to rain on his parade and Garak looks so thrilled and goes “a PARADE?”

this has me imagining what parades on Cardassia, an incredibly nationalistic and militaristic society, are like. they must be uproarious. imagine the fanfare for state holidays. for memorials. for celebrations of victory. parades on Cardassia must feel like such an outpouring of emotion that is usually kept tightly channeled. to celebrate with such gusto as to throw a parade must be a thing to behold. additionally, garak has such love for drama and fanfare and beautiful decorations. he must love especially love parades. in conclusion: let garak throw a parade on ds9 please.
