im thinking about the wire again
#p#ds9#thinking abt.. how julian is often v sensitive to what people think of him (e.g. the b plot in explorers)#but in Doctor Mode pretty horrible verbal abuse just rolls right off him#and that the lengths he goes to in it are objectively like pretty insane AND that he'd have done it for anyone#also about the notion of forgiveness wrt garak. he never said why he needed it and i imagine he never would say it#comparing it w improbable cause/the die is cast i do imagine that compassion like he mentions in one of the stories#and shows for odo has been something he's always had and struggled against to do his work#did he need forgiveness for the weakness of having it and acting on it? for not acting on it more often? for something else entirely?#one of the most interesting things about their dynamic to me is that julian knows he won't get a definitive answer there#and won't know to what degree garak worked for or against the occupation and any number of other things he'd morally condemn#(not to mention how he felt about those things as he did them not that it matters wrt making a moral judgement)#and he doesnt seem to care that much! it's an interesting point of hypocrisy#that last part is less relevant to the wire bc like julian says & demonstrates he would've done it regardless of his guilt#just thinking abt it & them more generally. bc they keep hanging out and julian talks v fondly to him in s3#garak#julian bashir
