imagine saying this to someone you just did life-saving surgery on
And another thing I find hilarious about Garak is that - he is such a snob.
Like, Quark's too vulgar and loud for him, close range fighting is "undignified", no one can set a foot on the station without having this middle aged Cardassian criticizing their fashion choice right in front of their Bolinian salads or whatever, he debates epic literature at lunch, he has had Shakespeare for like 5 minutes and he is already quoting it during life or death emergencies.
And it's absolutely hilarious because this man chopped up his countrymen for a living.
I'm watching ds9 and I'm so sorry people who are obsessed with secondary/supporting characters. I get it now I understand your pain I am one of you. every episode I'm like man I hope I see my guy garak this time. I miss my guy garak. and almost every time there is no fucking garak. just watched the ep shadowplay and when bashir MENTIONED garak I leaped into the air and clapped my hands and cheered. crazy behavior. good show though. I am enjoying it
"it doesn't make any logical sense for julian to have hang-ups about being queer in the 2370s" is an objectively, factually correct take.
but I need julian bashir to have just bare minimum enough internalized homophobia for 'one of your girls' to be a garak pov garashir song
I remember saying to a friend somewhere around mid season 2 that like I'm used to enjoying star trek because yanno it's star trek, I'm not used to it also being exceptional television.
I didn't know DS9 was so good. Why did no one tell me? Why did I wait all these years to start watching it?
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
I literally laughed so hard making this edit I almost threw up
like ok ok ok youre telling me that in the episode where one of the major themes was love and friendships transcending realities and being consistent in multiple universes I got to see Julian and Garak (each from a different reality) find each other AND fall in love and get married and flat out say they'll follow each other to any reality and they dont care where they are so long as theyre together and im supposed to just GO ON WITH MY DAY AS NORMAL
weeping and kissing the ground, looking to the sky and raising my hands in praise
I made it through the first three seasons of voyager………. I made it over the other side, to a certain borgian entrance……. alleluia or whatever!!!!!
Can you elaborate on this masculinity isn’t a prison concept? In my experience as a cis man masculinity is just a violence men do to other men in order to try and limit the violence done to them by other men.
I was raised by a theatre guy so to me masculinity also includes putting on weird outfits and singing while doing a funny little dance. Open your horizons, dude. Do gender on purpose instead of just what your dad or the bullies at school told you to do. It’s beautiful in here.
