To this day I think my best take is that because of ectoplasm ghost girls and boys are technically slime-girls.

idk i'd never paid much attention to past prologue aside from the opener but it's so fucking funny bc of the context it gives for everything else?? like okay garak cruises julian at the replimat (with unclear success), then gets approached by the sisters and says "shit, i need backup. who can i trust to be chill about black market dealing, yet honest enough to report it if necessary? ah yes the doctor will do nicely" ............aaand then julian flubs it so bad that garak immediately starts a book club called Espionage For Dummies. he says julian you are a baby bird. a tiny kitten. a helpless puppy all alone in a cutthroat world. you must open your eyes and learn to forage or you will never survive the winter and julian says okay 💖 yayy 💖 and by god they hold that book club every fucking tuesday for the next 5 to 7 years? only interrupted when there's an actual war on? the professional outrage was THAT strong

Today's J-fashion wearers are Nana and Elim from Venom Courtship Girl Syndrome! They wear dark and retro girly respectively!

Trektober Day 7 - Academy Era. Not everything needs to be Starfleet - sometimes, it can be murder lizards! I know they wouldn't've trained at the same time, but I like the idea of all these disasters being stuck in a teen movie together with an increasingly miserable Tain as principal.

I’m just feeling a lot of things rn don’t pay attention to this

[aspiringnexu]

Do you think Julian introduces Garak to a few classical Earth musicals and Garak is taken aback at how similar Human and Cardassian high schools are?

Like, the betrayals? The in-fighting? The manipulation? The psychological torture? The public shaming? The Obsidian Order could have used a few of these teenage Human girls when conducting interrogations.

No wonder the Captain's son is so fearful of trying to date Human women, the choosing of mates is clearly a lethal activity.

so I’m about a third of the way into A Stitch In Time and I just have so many thoughts.

this is unexpectedly one of the most fascinating books I have ever read, because the circumstances of its existence (tie-in novel for established tv show, written by the actor, largely taken from his character-dev writing) create a novel that would’ve never existed otherwise.

in any other normal novel, the protagonist with a sad childhood who gets shipped off to train to be a weapon of the state, in a violent, loveless institution, would be… taking a stand against the status quo! that’s what protagonists do, they make unlikely friends and they stand up for what’s right and they change their world etc etc. yahoo. yay !

but as we good and goddamn know: garak’s not a protagonist

these flashback portions follow so many classic sf/f coming of age tropes of a young lad finding himself in a harsh new world, but instead of the main character being guided by a convenient moral compass and growing in defiance of the competitive, cruel environment– garak adapts, learns to outcompete his peers, learns to be crueler.

it’s not so much that you’re reading garak becoming worse (though he is, for sure)

it’s more that garak is drifting from being a mere product of his environment, to a perpetuator of it

I find a new song I can relate to Garashir and I lose my mind

OH YES. I FINALLY DREW IT

Bonus:

[weneedatdcharacterwho]

we need a total drama character that has a surprising amount of dolls and they always leave the dolls in random places so a contestant can go walking in the forest and find a doll in a tree looking directly at their soul

Spy telling secrets, spy that, spy bad...

You can just admit that you're a gossip gurl hater

[misty-feathers]

no thoughts only post canon garak and julian moving to cardassia and going for walks and geeking out over the native plants

i wanted to do a little Garak and I was thinking of that stupid line the whole time I drew this silly fellow in a dress🫰🫰 the background is what it is but it was fun to add the lighting to Garak!!

[aspiringnexu]

So you're telling me 'Cardassians' doesn't end with Garak happily married to Julian and the proud dad of every single Cardassian orphan on Bajor?
