I’m usually glad that star trek didn’t get consumed by franchise capitalism the way some other beloved sf/f stories did
but
last night I lay awake, thinking about how sick a civil defense ds9 inspired interactive theme park ride would be………..
todays the only/last day you can reblog this lol
Ok but can u imagine being a straight actor vehemently playing a character as gay and spending the next 30 years talking about how the character is gay in every single interview/comicon/video and even writing two plays and a novel about it, to finally get to voice act the character at the ripe age of 82 and canonically make them gay.
This is the life of andrew robinson. Winning out here for all of us.
What I love about this is that it confirms what we've always known : That if Garak and Bashir actually got together they'd be completely insufferable
i just hope from the bottom of my heart that rick berman is having a terrible time
I hope my dash never goes back to normal
been thinking about this nonstop. garashir isn’t like spirk where the characters have gradually transcended their original grounding in shatner and nimoy– julian and garak ARE sid and andy. they have been so instrumental and so generous to this fandom, I could cry knowing they finally got to do this. I could cry knowing THEY got to come back as these characters, THEY got to be the ones writing the canon.
not to be morbid but andy is 82 and im so glad they did this now. even if it wasn't literally prime universe canon or 'real' julian or whatever, im just so glad they did this while they still can.
like ok ok ok youre telling me that in the episode where one of the major themes was love and friendships transcending realities and being consistent in multiple universes I got to see Julian and Garak (each from a different reality) find each other AND fall in love and get married and flat out say they'll follow each other to any reality and they dont care where they are so long as theyre together and im supposed to just GO ON WITH MY DAY AS NORMAL
im never gonna be over it, i love them so so much, one of my first ever ships and getting to see that and hear them and know that they really do love each other, and in every universe, truly it means everything to me
Sorry everyone a 30+ year old star trek ship finally became canon and im joining the festivities in the streets
i joined the ds9/garashir fandom mainly because the show and the ship live up to the hype, but also because I knew a 30 year old fandom wasn't going to burn itself out any time soon. i knew i could trust a community this established to hold steady, to keep finding new results tumbling these guys around in our brains ad infinitum.
brother i did not come here expecting new content.
no part of me was prepared for today's events.
i am dizzy.
waking up this morning to find out the thing i saw at 3am last night wasn't dtiys edit
my unpopular ds9 headcanon is that garak eats whole eggs like a monitor lizard
sisko is such a dad with a camera guy. dad with a padd, whatever. guy who films jake's first steps and first words and first time spitting all over curzon's diplomatic robes. hours and hours of jennifer working and dancing and swimming and smiling at him, just for him. the year after her death there are no family sisko records, but he makes up for it with a will afterwards: jake awkward and impatient in front of the wormhole, kira and dax distributing scrolls during the gratitude festival, the first time odo whisked a proper omelet. candids during his team dinners, that time the chief and the doctor got drunk and decided to play darts blinfolded and hopping on one leg. that time jake and nog had a paintball battle all over the station. the promenade at night during a slow month, some people wandering around still, light seeping from quark at the end of the corridor, store fronts glinting light eyes. an edge in the corner where the photographer's fingertip smudges the lens. no self-portraits. no need for them, really.
More trekposting— assorted ds9 brainrot and etc
A couple of these will be prints!!!
Garak lets his hair grow long and stops slicking it back during the hot cardassian summers
on my (scarse) free time I’ve been watching a lot of DS9 and of course he is my favorite
Thinking about my favourite autistic augment burying himself in fantasy. Living through maladaptive daydreaming. Only ever unmasking while ostensibly alone. Of Garak forcing his way inside in Our Man Bashir, demanding Bashir to let himself be seen. Then unmasking so much of himself in that episode as well, doing it to push Bashir away and challenging him because he does think they're too different. Only for Bashir to rise to the occassion, silently saying - it's ok, we're the same.
the word you're looking for is 'unnatural' meaning not from nature
what is julian texting our favourite simple tailor?
never, ever, ever let the the stress of this bitch of an earth and its torment nexus stop you from making time for yaoi
