lots of reasons why post-canon garashir feels right to me, but the fact that julian is already sooooo trophy husband coded is a huge part of it. he’s so beautiful and so strange and you can picture him in so many fancy cardassian outfits, but when he’s home he wears scandalously little and everyone is just like. oh he’s an alien he doesn’t know better. (but they are looking. respectfully 👀👀) he’s arrogant and a bit patronizing as a doctor which you know cardassians would be SO into. but at the end of the day he’s just making garak look better bc he left for a decade and came back with a sexy alien that argues with him in public like a slut. the locals don’t really get it but they’re happy for him

listen i know Tekeny Ghemor canonically hates garak’s guts but like. he IS still the father of an obsidian order operative whilst himself being a dissident, presumably he and Iliana actually had some pretty significant ideological differences, and ultimately he didn’t give a shit bc he’s A Dad™.
and the fact that he is A Dad keeps making part of me think about. some contrivance where he SOMEHOW discovers the circumstances of why garak was in the order in the first place (idk like, a Ghemor Lives au or something so post Inferno’s Light) and from then on it’s basically “kira, this is your new brother, i found him in the trash”. both garak and kira are horrified by this development.
