Jabberwock Island

[comic-sans-chan]

cursed modern human garashir au where ds9 is an old ruined resort that was built by some evil rich motherfuckers years ago and was recently seized back by the native people whose land and economy it had destroyed. it's since been converted into an affordable apartment complex sort of situation (just... with a pool, bar, restaraunts, spa and tennis court built into it lol) and is run by sisko and kira. since it is rundown, odo gets hired back on to keep kids from further vandalizing it and o'brien's team gets hired on from the nonprofit organization sisko works for to fix the place up best he can. dukat is the old overseer of the property who drops by sometimes to remind them he and his hospitality business still exist, and my, what a fine job they’ve done renovating the place! it’s actually nice again. sure would be a shame if someone bought the property out from under them (lmao jk kardasi hospitality and starfleet are friends! no hard feelings. they should collaborate on some future projects, actually).

garak's a sad bitch who just lost his amazing morally dubious nepotism career at obsidian corp. (which absorbed kardasi hospitality) and moved into the complex just for the comfortingly familiar architecture. even tho he's not on the payroll for his (secret) dad's evil exploitative company anymore he's still vital to its continued efficiency and is an absolute sucker who still does unpaid shady work for them from time to time. so no one in the complex likes him, but also he's a very pleasant and fastidious queer man who pays his rent on time and has completely taken over the laundry room, to the benefit of everyone, because all the machines actually work now, it's always tidy, and there's a variety of forever-stocked detergents and soaps available, plus an iron?? there was not an iron before garak moved in. which is how it eventually becomes public knowledge that garak has an online tailoring and fashion design business, and he's actually pretty good at restoring clothes that get fucked by the washing machine or eaten by rats, soooo. yeah. they let him stick around.

meanwhile julian's a hot doctor who works at the local hospital and is absolutely buried in student debt that he refuses to let his moderately-wealthy family help him with because they're awful people who had him on illegal drugs without his knowledge since he was a little kid. they were afraid he had something wrong with him, apparently. he was too far behind in his class or w/e. they couldn't handle having a kid with special needs, so they pumped him full of dangerous experimental stimulants. only reason he found out is because he snuck off somewhere to start transitioning and had some tests done that revealed all the crazy shit in his system. he's insanely lucky he didn't end up in the hospital with seizures or fall into a coma or worse. not to mention his parents still dead-name him left and right over a decade later. it's a whole mess and a huge secret, because he technically has a history with illegal drug abuse, and it's a partially ongoing history because going cold turkey off drugs he's been on since he was six is Not A Good Idea, so??? fuck his life, actually. he lives in the apartment just down the hall from garak's. 

garak hates the country his dad's company expanded into and would like nothing better than to move back home, but it's not really logistically possible. especially since everyone there hates him cuz his (secret) dad's company is a mega-corporation that's completely taken over everything p much and is a complete monopoly nightmare, and he did... kinda... work there for decades. no one would hire him if he went back. it would be an extreme conflict of interest, since everyone wants to stay on tain's good side, including garak. but starfleet is interested in him, so he does some begrudging contract work for them sometimes, but he really has no desire to join them. he just wants to resume his old career and reclaim his assets.

julian's hospital is owned by starfleet, tho. his scholarship into medical school was also from starfleet, in fact--they're the only reason he was able to (sort of) afford becoming a doctor at all. so he's a big fan, even tho they are pretty hardcore anti-drugs in a way that's made him have to forge medical records and risk serious legal charges and prison time. julian comes across as a squeaky clean medical professional and an adorable idiot, but he's intimately familiar with back-alley dealings. which is kind of how he ends up helping garak with his drug addiction, and keeps said addiction off the record.

but basically, how it begins is julian likes to support the local restaurants in the complex and garak finds him there and thinks he's gorgeous, and it proceeds as expected. they fuck nasty and become codependent. ten years later, julian lives in a modest house with garak in his home country and garak irons all his old university hoodies.

Vivienne making Alastor ace because "He only cares about himself" like woman do you even know what ace actually is ffs I think we aaaaall know people that are not ace at all, that can be either straight or gay or bi and are selfish as hell and only care about themselves. What the eff is she even talking about

That’s bigotry for you.

Viv is a good example of someone that makes a fashion statement out of social consciousness.

She’ll make bank off of people that think just including characters with varying sexual identities means an IP is a gold-star standard but do you think she actually understands what she’s putting out or even thinks about trying to?

Nope.

re: the discussion about pr relationships

I don't know if you know the band Tokio Hotel, but they were the talk of the town when I was growing up in Germany. It's twin brothers, Bill and Tom, and two of their friends. They were so young when they were first successful, similar to 1D. Even in the very beginning, there were always rumours about Bill being gay because he was just very flamboyant, dressed more feminine and so on. By now he has come out publicly but he was in the closet for a very long time. Bill and Tom have a podcast and a Netflix show where they address some of what they went through especially in the early days. One thing really stood out to me: When they were still teenagers, there was a dating contest where girls and young women could apply to date them. They were literally looking for a girlfriend for each of the boys. They had to go through a whole casting process, some speed dating events and then publicly date for a little while. Now in the podcast they revealed that of course Bill wasn't even interested in girls and that some of the other boys were in actual relationships at the time. When Bill talked about this situation, he said that he feels nauseous about it to this day and that it really messed him up, how heavily he was pressured to appear straight and to have his dating life so much in the public eye. He said that so much of their marketing was focussed on appealing to young girls as potential boyfriends - now, doesn't that sound very familiar?

And we hear so many stories like this nowadays, I cannot comprehend why you would question the concept of pr relationships so much.

I remember Tokio Hotel. But not enough to know any of this. That’s awful. I often wonder how much damage Harry and Louis’ closeting has done to them—not just as a couple, but individually as well.

Given how many celebrities have come out and talked about it, I’m honestly shocked people still question the concept of closeting.

[bigothteddies]

they’re getting on my ass to RSVP to the company party in two months and my partner’s not gonna be able to come and I just really really don’t wanna go without them, I have no desire to go to a fancy upper class party all alone with hundreds of people richer than me and older than me who’ve spent their entire lives caring about financial services and care about nothing else but I KNOW if I say I can’t go they’re gonna get on my ass for the next two months about it too cause I’m a newhire and all anyone talks about is this party and how great it is and blah blah blah blah
