Julian and his lizards (they're supposed to be in bed or something and I tried SO HARD to make Julian look like Julian but no that's impossible and he ended up looking like an unholy combination of Jesus and iCarly's brother)

Garak's repeated pattern of attracting kind-hearted idealistic doctors who take one look at him and go 'I don't know that it's within the means of modern medicine or indeed psychiatry to fix what's wrong with him, but surely me giving him an ibuprofen and a blowjob about it can't make it any worse'

[ettaberrytea]

So, I was doing some research for fanfic writing and I was looking for real life examples of doctors, in particular surgeons, who use wheelchairs. I don't want this to come across as inspiration porn, but I feel like everybody should know that there are doctors who use wheelchairs. There are surgeons who use wheelchairs. Any medical school or hospital that claims that they can't accommodate wheelchair users just doesn't want to.

Look at Dr. Muraszko doing pediatric brain surgery in her wheelchair. Some able-bodied surgeons operate while sitting down so why should it be such a big deal that a surgeon needs a wheelchair?

She's just doing her job and helping kids. There is so much ablism in medical schools that wheelchair users aren't even given a chance, no matter how intelligent and capable they are. And look! Alls what they had to do is lower the operating table a little. Accommodation achieved.

Here's Dr. Okanlami. Many surgical procedures require the doctor to be able to look down into the patient's body so he uses a type of wheelchair that supports him in a standing position.

I mean, of course it is possible to look down into something from a seated position if it's low enough. Really, he's accommodating everyone else by having the operating table high up.

Here's Dr. Jim Post. He's chief of internal medicine at his hospital. He is an incomplete quadriplegic. Many medical schools rejected him even though he was at the top of his classes at frikin Harvard. How does he practice without the full use of his hands you may ask? It's as simple as having access to an assistant. Here is a picture of him listening to a patient's heart with an assistant holding the stethoscope in place.

Able bodied doctors in the hospital, unlike on tv, are assisted by medical staff all the time and they may not have the particular skills of those staff ex. being able to start an iv line without covering the patient in bruises and then deal with the finicky iv pump. Total double standard.

This is a smaller sample of the article I read about doctors who use wheelchairs. There's a second one linked to it about nurses too!

Again, the point isn't "wow look at what these people have achieved despite their disabilities," it's "look at how fucking doable it is to accommodate doctors who use wheelchairs."

Anyways, back to writing dystopian star trek fan fic about Dr. Parmak with his bad back and heart problems. Poor guy really needs to let himself sit down but he's such a masochist.

[kelasparmakfanclub]

being held/getting to hold someone like this is divine, just saying.

I have this scene idea where they are talking about their families and Garak is coming to terms with how awful Tain was. Parmak has some trauma about wanting to have children but not being allowed to. They start getting a bit silly imagining for a moment that Garak is Parmak's son. Then they get emotional and Parmak cradles Garak in his arms and it's healing.

Let’s be real, the moment Julian wakes up from his coma, it’s all over for Garak, he’s going to have TWO doctors tag teaming him about his books and opinions and it’s going to be absolutely bliss for him

[eco-lite]

Some mostly out of context funny/sweet/heartbreaking moments from Una McCormack’s Enigma Tales:

[Text ID: “Renel took the other chair and the two guls, both big men, perched awkwardly together on the sofa. Garak had asked for the sofa’s dimensions to be just slightly too small to comfortably seat two adult males. His cruel streak always found expression somehow.” End ID]

Garak forcing stuffy military men to squeeze onto a tiny sofa together. Utterly diabolical.

[Text ID: “My real pride is, of course, my garden. I have worked hard here. Parmak helps, although he has a tendency to kill plants on touch—worrying in a doctor (previous sentences underlined in red by me). He can’t do too much damage. The plants are hardy, the flowers have their own agenda, and not even Parmak can kill dry stone monuments.” End ID]

I love that in The Crimson Shadow, it’s implied that Kelas takes care of Garak’s garden while he’s away, yet here we learn that he’s actually terrible at it. First of all hilarious. Second of all, very sweet that Garak trusts him to keep trying.

[Text ID: “’There might be another route to Garak,’ Alden said slowly, at last. ‘Ambassador, what do you know about Kelas Parmak?’

‘He is the castellan’s close friend,’ said T’Rena. ‘Probably one of his closest advisors—not officially, but certainly they are often together.’

‘Are they lovers?’ said Pulaski.

‘I don’t know,’ said T’Rena. ‘I do know that Parmak was interrogated by the Obsidian Order in his youth, and that Garak may have been involved.’

‘Damn,’ muttered Alden, ‘this place is twisted.’” End ID]

Pulaski just assuming that Garak and Kelas are lovers. A perfectly valid assumption--it’s the same assumption I make myself. Also, Peter Alden pointing out how it is frankly fucked up that they should be lovers considering the circumstances of their past encounter. He’s not wrong... Kelas is just a forgiving angel of a man.

[Text ID: “She picked up the parcel she had brought with her. ‘Hey,’ she said. ‘I’ve got to go now. I hope it’s been good to see me. But I brought you a present. Well, it’s not really from me. Several of your friends got together and found this, and when they heard I was coming they asked me to bring it with me. I hope there’s no injunction on importing livestock. I think I got away with it.’

He was hardly going to unwrap the gift, so she pulled at the paper, revealing the small brown bear inside. She reached for Bashir’s hand again, lifting it and pressing it against the toy, in case the touch stirred some memory. She pressed it against his cheek too, so he could catch the scent. Smell and memory were closely intertwined; smells took you back to places more than anything else. Then she put the bear upon the windowsill, half looking out at the city, half looking back at Bashir. She smiled at it; this little guy had been loved, she saw, and someone had done some stitching that would make a surgeon proud. She reached out and rubbed its ears.

‘He’s an old soldier, isn’t he?’ she said. ‘He’s been through some wars. We’ve all been through some wars.’ She stopped and kissed her lost friend gently on the brow. ‘Come back, Julian,’ she said. ‘We miss you.’” End ID]

Pulaski bringing Kukalaka to comfort the comatose Julian are you kIDDING ME? This scene is so bittersweet.

[Text ID: “’My father would say, all the time, how much I was wanted. How much he wanted me.’

(Next paragraph highlighted red by me) Well, he had wanted something, Garak thought. Telek’s father had not wanted the child he got. And that hurt, as Garak had cause to know; yes, that hurt very badly.” End ID]

Hahahahaaa ouchie.

[Text ID: “Garak realized that he was still holding the phaser. He slipped it back into his pocket, for he would no doubt need it again one day, and then he rested his head against the cool of the window. My poor Julian, he thought. He let himself tremble for a while, allowing his body to process the shock. He might have allowed himself some tears then, too, in the dark while nobody could see, for all that had been lost, for all that he had done; for everyone that he had harmed.

Everyone that he had been unable to save.” End ID]

Despite everything, Garak is a very compassionate person. He very kindly talked down Telek, who was about to kill him, and was sensitive and remorseful that Telek’s Bajoran genetics had been eradicated as a child, at the insistance of Telek’s Cardassian father. And then immediately after that assassination attempt--a moment in which you’re surely allowed to think selfishly--he instead thinks of “My poor Julian,” another man whose father did not want him as he was. And that’s not even acknowledging all the other shit Garak is going through here. It’s a lot.

Love to end on a sad note. But seriously, everybody go read this book! These are just a few great moments among many. Lots of angst, lots of tenderness.

I Want a Man With a Short Skant and a Long Jacket (A Post-Canon Cardassia Fic)

https://ift.tt/TBCx05g by CodenameCarrot Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, Lieutenant, shouldn’t have been in charge of the Federation Relief Effort. But here he was: briefing volunteers, dispensing energy credits, arranging marriages, and trying to meet up with Garak for a literary flirtation over a private meal. (There was no such thing as a private meal with the Castellan but Julian was getting used to the security drones and the paparazzi.) He had everything under control - for most definitions of control - when Admiral Jellico arrived to relieve him. And while Jellico’s leadership style might not be a great fit for the relief effort, it was 100% what Julian needed to leverage in an over-the-top bid to get his lizard. Or: the the one where... Julian accidentally encouraged a generation to take up recreational swimming, forced a planet-wide revision of the public decency laws, and then made it up to Garak by recreating the most famous scene from the Cardassian Union’s most pirated porn as a public declaration of love.

KELAS PARMAK doctor, militant, idealist • star trek • he/him • gay, polyamorous • semi- selective shipping

[master-of-the-game]

I just wanted to tell you.. your art is absolutely beautiful! Just stunning! I absolutely love all the soul you put into Parmak, it basically brought me to my figurative knees, you draw him with such love and grace, wonderful!

Thank you very much! I'm so touched 🥹 We both are happy to hear that. It also seems that at the moment doctor has some kind of romantic mood :)

[idonotbitemythumbatyou]

You are so correct @orangexmachina and thank you for providing the perfect segue into my next point: Garak is a liar and I don’t believe a thing he says in that book! Kelas Parmak is the most wish fulfillment ass character imaginable for someone like Garak.

Garak’s like:

Oh, well. Actually, my dear doctor, Kelas Parmak is alive. In fact, he’s doing great. He’s practicing medicine and saving lives and living a fulfilling life. A life which was resolutely not tragically cut short by my actions before he could fulfill his full potential in this war ravaged Cardassia. And in fact he’s… he’s forgiven me. We’re actually best friends now. So.

I think it’s like, emotionally true to Garak that Parmak is alive in that book. It’s something that Garak needs to believe on some level. And I think it’s also a tribute or penance or a gift to his memory delivered in the best way Garak knows how. If he tells a lie about Parmak being alive and well and forgiving him, then in some way it’s true.

I love Parmak and everyone’s takes on him post canon but I’m sorry that dude is dead.

I commissioned the wonderful @prose-n-scripts to draw Parmak, and she did not disappoint. I love everything about this piece.

[volixia669]

Well @tirlaeyn​, ask and you shall receive!

First, this is a continuation of a series I started three years ago. (whoops) Garak ends up adopting the little girl from Cardassians who asks if he’s going to take them home. I named said girl Sunar.

Now, Sunar has a habit of sneaking onto runabouts and in jefferies tubes. Odo knows that if she’s up to no good, that’s probably where she is.

Sunar snuck on to the runabout with Garak and Worf, because she overheard that this mission was into the Gamma Quadrant, which might be where her Baba (Julian) is. (THe changeling Julian matter was...resolved. Resulting in an alive Baby Goo.) She ends up in the internment camp, stuff with Tain, hugs, etc. So, when the Cardassians except for Garak are told to leave? Garak whispers to her to find a ‘Kelas Parmak with backstory delta’. (It’s his kid. And with all the shit going on? He’s going to make sure she has several backstories at hand just in case. Julian called him paranoid.)

So as soon as she’s on Cardassia, Sunar RUNS because Dukat is involved with this and he’s just bad news. She ends up in the district where all the orphans are. Carefully, but with the grace of a 12 year old, she finds out that lo and behold, Kelas Parmak is a doctor with a clinic in this district.

Kelas is of course suspicious, particularly since while ‘Bajoran orphan who snuck on a series of ships to go back to Cardassia’ doesn’t quite seem untrue, Sunar does not seem to want to stay on Cardassia.

Eventually things come to a point where the truth comes out, and while Dr. Parmak would love to keep helping the orphans, they can see the writing on the wall and the jem hadar on the streets. So through some contacts, books it with Sunar to DS9.

Their first meeting with Garak in years involves a slap that can be heard across the station. For many reasons. Including ‘telling your kid to come to me of all people’. Things get worked out eventually. Especially with Kelas working in the infirmary and getting to know Dr. Bashir.

Also yes I am going with nonbinary Kelas! With long silver hair and blue make up. Because I can.

[ettaberrytea-old]

I illustrated a scene from chapter 6 of the fan fiction I’m writing, Burry my Heart  that’s about Parmak and Bashir after the events of Enigma Tales.
