Julian Bashir is the perfect modern bisexual twink: spends most of his late 20's pining after an unattainable transgender woman before settling down with an older man who used to work for the CIA.

My idea of Amanda Grayson is this double nature because she needs to be in a certain way to enjoy life on Vulcan but she also becomes much more fun as a character if you imagine her as being very human in certain aspects of her life and personality. Having that garden full of gnomes, occasionally calling Sarek “babe” and wearing party hats etc.

What I’m saying is: She made finger guns at Spock all the time while he grew up and he always viewed it as a strange and embarrassing yet seemingly necessary part of human culture. Which caused some initial confusion the first time he visited Earth. 

This plays like a really nice ending at first like "aw yeah Garak's a good guy in his own way after all :)" and then you rotate the events of the episode in your head a minute and realize that the only way any of this makes sense is if he was genuinely ready to turn them over to the military dictatorship and only changed course after Gul Dipshit was like "we can murder them and it will be epic and based" and Garak's mental calculus was "the terrorists are less of a threat to the military dictatorship alive than they would be as martyrs".

The quadrant's most charming and affable spook.

odo cute outfit came to me in vision will not elaborate

very fond of “julian ends up becoming close friends with over half the people he was trying to hit on” as a character trait for him.

he just strikes me as someone who tends to stay in good standing with most of his exes or casual hook ups and is being invited to their weddings and it’s not awkward in the least because julian is just happy for them.

no six sentence sunday from me today

had a bad stomach-flu like reaction to some new medication I was taking and am currently watching DS9 while in a brain fog and having feelings about how Lwaxana Troi uses romantic overtures to avoid true intimacy or vulnerability with others and how Kira is such an amazing character whose growth over even just season one is impressive to watch. And remembering how much I enjoy hating Dukat. Honestly he's such a delightful villain because he does have layers and most of them are more arrogance and genocidal condescension.

Seriously, though. Lwaxana clearly uses romantic overtures to build walls around her. We see her do it with Picard, whom she genuinely likes but cannot connect with because she probably doesn't even realize that she's subconsciously protecting herself from suffering more losses by shoving people away. But when she, quite literally, lets her hair down with Odo - whom she initially behaves towards similarly to how she does with Picard - her choice to allow herself to be vulnerable with him in order to help him be more comfortable being vulnerable around her, something he isn't getting a choice in due to their unforeseen circumstances, is actually quite lovely. I know a lot of people don't like Lwaxana or her friendship with Odo but... I actually really adore it.
