i love that they had to do a double alternate timeline plot to get canon garashir past the higher-ups (and i’m still impressed that they managed it at all like holy shit) but i bet getting sid and andy, the original actors, to guest star to make this happen was the easiest part. those two were probably the first ones on board. they probably suggested pet names and shit. the absolute legends that are alexander siddig and andrew robinson. no one does it like those two. no one.

one of my favorite things about star trek is how the two biggest garashir shippers are the guys who fucken played garashir

I was listening to an interview that Alexander Siddig did with Trek Geeks and this man said that he stayed up so late playing video games in the 90’s, and was so tired all the time on set, that the producers staged an intervention and were like “We’re going to support you no matter what your answer is but: are you on drugs?”

I don’t watch Lower Decks but I will probably watch this one episode.

Yeah yeah yeah it’s an alt universe. Whatever. As far as Andy, Sid, and I (and many of you) are concerned, it’s been canon since Andy’s first appearance.

They literally performed fan fic on Sid’s YouTube channel to canonise it as best they could. And roped their fellow ds9 actors into joining them.

This is a clip from a YouTube upload by Mary Knasinski of Sid and Nana in Missouri in 2000. They are asked about working with Andy and Nana recounts an outtake of being unable to stop laughing to get a scene done with Andy that then irritates him because (as Sid says) for Garak he was “in a wetsuit glued to his body” and he can’t stand the heat, thus he wants to get his scenes done as soon as possible so he can get out of costume. Sid then goes on to give THE best impersonation of an angry and irritated Andy that only a best friend can do so wonderfully.

anyway garak canonically calls julian “darling” and “my love” let’s all think about that

[5queerducksinatrenchcoat]

y'ever have a 30+ year old ship go canon?

HOLY FUCKEN SHIT, i am losing my mind! genuinely fucken feral rn! SUCK MY DICK, R*CK B*RMAN!

i don't care about the "technically's". elim garak and julian bashir, played by andrew robinson and alexander siddig, are MARRIED and IN LOVE and KISSED square on the fucken MOUTH!!!

that's CANON! GARASHIR is CANON! and the two men who started and carried on the ship got to return to those roles to MAKE IT CANON!

Finished ds9 last night, so, my life is officially over and meaningless, there is a hole in my soul that I will try desperately to fill with Siddig reading fanfic on camera. Hope it goes well, will keep you guys posted.

Also: if anyone want to recommend DS9 books, feel free
