#julian bashir headcanons

[walkingstackofbooks]

The trauma of Inquisition leading to Julian starting to dissociate at times when he's alone... He realises he's losing time and starts to wonder how real everything actually is, and if Sloan has done something more to him, or if Sloan had a point and maybe he really was reprogrammed by the Dominion...

Alternatively, Julian having experienced periods of dissociation fairly often *before* Inquisition, and when Sloan asks him "have you ever found periods of time unaccounted for?" Julian has to answer "yes" and finds he really can't be certain that the Dominion didn't get to him... Especially since his answer means that *Sloan* is even more convinced his hypothesis is correct.

My TNG poll is over (Data won and I should not be surprised lmao; proud of dealer's choice Will Riker for pulling a solid third) so let's do another one!

Dax and Odo don't get to be in it because that feels like cheating. they're actually trans.

[hyperlexichypatia]

This is the kind of thing I do instead of sleeping.

Also tag yourself I'm Sarek I guess?

[idonotbitemythumbatyou]

Whenever a fic has Bashir going “what? A man? I’ve never been attracted to a man before! I’ve never had sex with a man before!” I’m always just like you fucking liar. Like As though you and Jadzia don’t have weekly drinks competing to see who was more bisexual this week.

As though Julian Bashir the guy is lying to me and not just, you know, that the author has a different headcanon than I do.

julian bashir stutters !!!

which yknow he was kinda upset about because he felt so dumb to people. he knew he was intelligent, but he just couldn’t articulate it in a way that other people could understand. he always paused during his sentences, letting his words catch up to his thoughts. tripped over words, tongue going to the next syllable before he even got to the first.

and when people hear those pauses and breaks, it’s like they forget about everything else. screw theoretical hyperbolic geometry applications to worldly development, it wouldn’t fucking matter if he mixed the words up.

but, it does hide him. hides him well. because no matter how smart you are, how enhanced or augmented, it doesn’t matter if you have a stutter.

Why does it seem that so many people think Julian Bashir is cis on here? Your cisgender king canonically has a womb and a deadname

[honeybadger-who-gives-a-shit]

My headcanon is that Bashir is not autistic but has an intellectual disability. This read is more interesting, imo, because it goes to the roots of both the diagnosis itself and the ideology of meritocracy in starfleet and the Federation.

Obviously, he could be both, but when we hear his mother explaining how he had difficulties as a child, it reads to me to be a more accurate explanation.

Also, we often times see autistic characters as geniuses, and maybe it's more interesting for me to see this character in a different light, beacuse we don't get to see a lot of characters with a learning disability as more than a cute sidekick or the butt of the joke.

if julian and garak were to have children (and i imagine they do), i think the kid(s) would have the last name "garak". not only does it continue mila's last name, but it destroys richard bashir's oh so precious legacy

[timongerart]

When your Husband is the ideal temperature for sleeping, naps come easy (this goes both ways)

[the swooshes on Garak's side are my own indulgent headcanon for Cardassians - they're Salt Glands! On earth, birds and reptiles have them to help expel excess salt and take some of the strain off their kidneys]

[walkingstackofbooks]

During away missions, Julian makes a point of recording his logs frequently, sometimes almost to the point of noting every small detail as he goes along. He says it's because he doesn't want to forget anything, and it definitely adds to his reputation of being more than a little obsessive over his work - but really it's too avoid the guilt of having to intentionally leave details out if he were recording them from memory at the end of the day, so as to avoid suspicion.

Alright guys bc everybody was so nice and rabid about the last one here's DS9 Poll: Ultimate Trans Edition

calling this the oops!alltrans poll

[ikementally-deficient]

Okay, hear me out:

Bashir gets Garak to read the original ACD Sherlock Holmes stories in his ongoing quest to introduce his friend to the Federation's cultural wonders.

Garak finishes the series, and the next time he sees the doctor for coffee, asks "where's the rest of it?"

Bashir: "The rest of what?"

G: "Well, the final reveal, where Watson admits he's been the puppet master all along!"

B: " . . . what."

G: "Obviously he's the true identity of Moriarity, isn't he?"

B: "What? Garak, no! Watson is Holmes' biographer and friend!"

G: "But Holmes dies."

B: " . . . yes?"

G: "History is written by the victors, Doctor, haven't you realised that yet?"

[urbandunsel]

so i like to think nana visitor walked into the writer's room and said "hey guys, just wanna let you know im pregnant so that might affect shooting and whatnot" and the writers are like "oh okay! we didn't know you were involved, who's the father?" and visitor says "okay we're all mature adults that don't judge, it's our good friend alexander siddig" and they say "okay neato congrats"

and then visitor leaves the room and the writers say "okay literally how many jokes and sneaky dialogue can we write for kira and bashir during these months cmon guys go go go"

[xbuggyxboyx]

headcannon that Bashir is and was a theatre kid

[youngpettyqueen]

Julian and Odo should've had more what I like to call "my autism to your autism" moments
