ohhhh zar.....

[bijoumikhawal]

also thinking about the ways Hebitian religion and the themes of alienation in ASIT remind me of zar (100% sure this is unintentional there is no way an Agéd white man from the US who doesn't study religion or anthropology knows what zar is unless someone told him, and im not sure Siddig would know anything about it)... the detail that Garak would walk and imitate another person until he took on their personality and memories as he could discern from their behavior... the music at the Hebitian meeting and the altered state it induces... the hiding ceremonies in the basement... the masks used for the purpose of ceasing to be yourself and instead embodying something else

I really need to write that essay about garak being biracial and Indigenous coded from a North African perspective. It makes me so crazy that Andy outright wrote a short story where Garak’s humansona (assigned by subconscious? God? Who knows) is mixed French and North African. I domt know if thats coding anymore. I Am Coptic and Annoying. I must fulfill this tenent.
