"juliannnnnn. The Savior Complex He's Making Me Develop Is Insane" Is Something Close To What I Think

"juliannnnnn. the savior complex he's making me develop is insane" is something close to what I think garak is thinking to himself as he watches Julian get increasingly depressed whenever he has the free space is his brain, even as he tells him to become more cynical for the sake of survival

that's just what julian does to people. one look at his sad face and big wet eyes and I'm already on my knees swearing fealty like a knight to his beloved lady. ready to fight evil in his name. anything for my princess etc.

on a more serious note I find it fascinating how the very thing (one of them at least) that attracts garak to julian–his goodness and idealism–is the thing that he considers to be one of the greatest weaknesses one can have. and admiting that he likes these parts of julian is also a weakness. because of course it is. so, yeah, it very much makes sense that in their conversations he'd chide julian for being naive but in the privacy of his mind he sees julian as like. well. like a Lady or a delicate flower–beautiful *because* it is weak. and for the reason all the more worthy of protection. not to imply that he doesn't respect him or see his strengths but I think it's definitely one of the aspects of their relationship

H-9 for Garak! Imagine it, see it in your mind's eye.

I really wanted to make him more lizard-y but I don't have the skills for it yet so I had to go with what I was able to draw ;_;

I do love me some Plain Simple Garak content~

Especially the lies.

Isn’t it just so funny that the only reason why we have Garashir is because the DS9 writers couldn’t pin down Bashir’s character and started to panic so they got Andrew Robinson on the show just to slap four hours of makeup on him and say “go be a spy” and Andrew Robinson was like “??? HOW” and they were like “and ACTION!” and so Andrew Robinson looked at Alexander Siddig and put his whole palm on his shoulder and bing bang boom Garashir was born

The way he just. Sits there. Potato halfway to his mouth. Little napkin on his lap.
