The thing is, Cardassians don’t even clap like that. Garak is clapping the human way specifically for Julian’s benefit. He wants to make it perfectly clear that his applause is pejorative. It’s every bit as bitchy as his special Cardassian tuxedo.

One of my favorite things about rewatching ds9 is season one Bashir going O.O as a reaction to anything remotely interesting.

Man really just

My partner and I have an annual Christmas tradition of creating a blasphemous nativity scene with our assorted action figures, funko pops, and other random toys joining in on or replacing elements of the traditional version.

This year it commemorates Star Trek: Lower Decks S5E9, with Garak and Bashir taking centre stage.

When Saint Augustine said “evil and sin doesn’t exist, it’s just an absence of good” and when Saint Julian of Norwich said “sin doesn’t exist, everything is love and charity, we just struggle to perceive and embody that love and thus suffer pain and despair” and when Jesus Christ said to be perfect as god is perfect means to love everyone and when Saint Hildegard said all are sick and feeble and rotting and inherently worthy of love and care and do you see the connections love is everything love is all there is, sin is what happens when we suffer because we do not love and do not allow ourselves to be loved and it’s fixed by restoration of the sinner to the love which never leaves them it just lingers there until they are ready to accept it. The great commandment is love. We are loved and we ought to love. Care community charity affection support interdependence THESE are holy and these are what constitute everything and our oneness in god who is love. The attributes of God aren’t separate. God’s justice is love, his holiness is love, his righteousness is love, his power is love, his knowledge is love. He loved us so much he became us so that we could become one with him in a way creation never could otherwise. That’s why sin entered the world. That’s why the cross happened. So that creator and creation could become one in love through the remedying unification of the passion, like when you have to cut a section out of a tree and cut a branch in order to graft it on so that they become one and begin producing fruit.

The body of Christ is like Van Aken’s tree, which grows forty different types of fruit after a process of careful grafting, tending and growth. Look at it—it’s beautiful. That is our relationship to God through Christ.
