Elim Garak In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 

My loving husband just pitched a DS9 fic at me and said these actual words "and there's only one bucket"

I find Garak intriguing because the concept of some one gentle forced to bé violent fucks. Someone who desperately wants to be good through kindness but was taught that isnt for him. That the only good he could do was carving flesh. But instinctually he feels that its wrong, that in becoming the Sword of god (tain) hé has lost something intrinstic and warped himself into something monstrous and it still wasn't enough.

When I say a character has done nothing wrong, I say it with whimsy and humor in my heart. When some of you say it, I fear you truly believe it

im never gonna be over it, i love them so so much, one of my first ever ships and getting to see that and hear them and know that they really do love each other, and in every universe, truly it means everything to me

Garak lets his hair grow long and stops slicking it back during the hot cardassian summers

drama on DS9 after Martok publicly slaps Bashir's ass and Worf gets mad about it bcuz he doesn't think the doctor deserves "such high an honor"

you have to understand that I got on ds9 tumblr like right before I got to this arc. I had seen a few memes here n there and I honestly thought u guys were joking about dukat’s cosmetic surgery plotline. ds9 is the tv show of all time.

this is literally the only compelling case for doctor kelas parmak being real like

who would win in a fight, the delicious trauma of parmak being dead as hell absolutely nonexistant OR the delectable drama of a man meeting the near-identical younger model he got traded out for

I can never decide!!!! both options are so great!!!!! two absolute cakes!!!

Honestly, if Kelas is real did used to date Garak that makes his POV on Julian even more hilarious.

Like, imagine not seeing your toxic ass ex for years, then he comes back from his state enforced trip abroad with a new boyfriend whose half his age and just happens to be a doctor like you. God he would be so catty, as he should
