julian bashir arrives on cardassia speaking a very mismatch of classical high kardassi. straight up the equivalent of someone speaking like they learned english by reading anything between chaucer and sheakespeare and beowulf.

he's using thee and thou with old-fashioned class-denominating pronouns every which way. he's making grandiloquent statements as per a character in a classical cyclical epic. an expected shipment of red leaf tea is late and he recites the final tragic act of the neverending sacrifice like it's a normal oh shucks kinda thing.

no one can tell if he's messing with them or not. no one in his team wants to tell upper management or be the one to point out the guy in charge of their local federation relief aid chapter attends his patients with the traditional phrases for offering succor in ancient hebitian poetry.

does it count as dissident ancient hebitian poetry these days? no one wants to venture a guess.

for one thing, this is their weird federation aid doctor and at least he's already properly trained in cultural norms, more or less, even if he does eat rudely fast and he does keep comparing a well-done surgery to the blooming structure of the kanar bush rather floridly.

for another, his husband's in charge of the local textile warehouse and you don't want to get on the bad side of someone who is in charge of clothing the whole district and wields a pair of scissors like he does.

something about how garak and julian both lead with their worst foot forward as the first impression.

which is why The Wire works so well for them, because it’s both of them on full display in a way that forces them both to accept they either like each other at their most infuriating or they don’t. and turns out, they do like each other, even when they’re both being incredibly aggravating to each other.

julian contends with the reality that garak has likely killed and tortured countless innocent people, will likely never be truly honest with julian about anything ever, and that he can be incredibly venomous and cruel at his worst, and julian decides he still cares about garak and will still be his friend in the aftermath.

garak gets to see how impossibly stubborn and reckless julian can be, how frustratingly dedicated to his ideals of looking after other people he is, how utterly annoying julian can be when he’s got his mind set on something… and garak absolutely walks away deciding these are also julian’s best traits, even if garak thinks they might need tempering for julian’s own good.

they don’t actively consider each other proper friends until they have been forced to look at the parts of each other they might find most off-putting, and they both see that and go ���… yeah, i still like him, even more now actually.”

idk there’s something about how they find themselves endeared to each other for the exact same traits that would normally drive others away. they fall in love with the whole picture right from the start. of course, julian can joke about garak having murdered people. he knew that from the word go and decided he liked garak anyway. of course, garak falls deeper in love with julian when he demonstrates his near-suicidal levels of dedication to protecting others, that determination was what sparked garak falling in love to start with.

and they can still dislike parts of that whole, garak definitely wishes julian would be more selfish (for the sake of self-preservation, mostly), and julian doesn’t exactly *approve* of garak doing morally reprehensible things, but… they knew exactly who they were falling in love with and went all in anyway.

something about falling in love with someone from their worst parts so that every time you have to reassess your view of them, it only makes them more lovable.

really fascinated by how betazoid-vulcan diplomacy would work as two supremely different telepathic species. the touch telepaths with an intense culture of repression and secrecy vs the most free wheeling shameless least secretive species in the galaxy that has a tradition of nude weddings. if a vulcan accidentally made skin-to-skin contact with a betazoid it would be the psychic equivalent of a flash bang going off.

Can’t believe there’s homophobic Star Trek fans. Like. Are we watching the same show. Because im watching the “in the future all of humanity will put aside their differences and accept everyone and everybody, to create a better future” show, you seem to be watching the “everybody hates each other and everything and people still all hate everyone else and this is very good and beneficial to humans” show.

“Gene Roddenberry wouldn’t have wanted Star Trek to be gay!” He also did want Dianna Troi to have 4 breasts but I don’t see anybody talking about that now do we

This episode is on season 7, at the height of the war with the Dominion. This is what made TV good.

like i know there are a lot of fics out there where other vulcans are all “oh man, jim kirk’s so freakin HOT how’d spock get in his pants” but IF ANYTHING it’s actually the reverse. spock shows up on vulcan one day with Jim on his arm and all the other vulcans are OUTRAGED. They’ve spent years mooning (logically) over spock’s flaxen bowl cut. his dark eyes. his slightly lax emotional control that gives him just a hint of the “bad boy” vibe that we all know vulcans secretly go wild for. Sarek receives like a thousand bonding proposals a year from VSA graduates who all have google alerts set to notify them when spock gets a new xeniobiology article published. and then they find out. that the object of their (totally logical) affections. had the equivalent of a las vegas wedding with the human captain of his starfleet ship while in the middle of a five year mission. vulcans may be too logical to riot but on that day, a good many vulcans had to meditate for an extra hour or two just to contain their rage

Star date 55000.7- The enterprise is currently suffering a blackout at the hands of an electricity-eating creature. Unfortunately, it has been difficult to tell my first officer and the creature apart.

So funny how Spock is like "affection is alien to me, love is unobtainable, I have no idea how I would ever approach a woman" and then you see his parents and their comfortable open PDA, that is the first FIRST thing you see about Sarek and Amanda. It just really puts into perspective how broken and queer Spock really is. Bro is FUCKED up. Spock my black metal queen
