Loves and stratagems

inkblotdemon:

Julian: I’m sad about turning thirty :(

Garak: well Julian my darling in MY opinion getting older makes you even sexier ;)

Julian: Too bad I don’t give a single fuck what you think, Garak. Also your birthday present was bad

Quark, bustling over with some crime to do: Doctor Bashir!

Julian: FUCK YOU TOO, QUARK

Julian Bashir things I Love

sigynpenniman:

• the venom in his voice when he’s forced to use the word “healer” in reference to someone he doesn’t think deserves it
• his complete disregard for everything, including the timeline and his own health and safety, when he is presented with people who are suffering
• and that strong protective energy he’s got. I can’t explain it but you know what I mean
  
• the way everyone uses “bedside manner” as a euphemism while goading various characters about being in love with him
• his pretty, pretty hands
  
• the way he manages to be soft and kind and gentle and compassionate while simultaneously a fearless badass and literal war hero
• those few times he got all his fancy 24th century tech taken away and was still an absolutely fantastic doctor with what whatever was at hand
• Tarkalean tea, extra sweet
• that one time he apologized to a tribble
• the way he reverse fire pole slides down ladders

• Kukalaka.
• he has every possible fantasy available to him and he just wants to be James Bond
• when he gets hyperexcited about complex science things
• when he’s in Doctor Mode™ he tiptoes so perfectly on the line between being no-nonsense and being consoling so he always comes across as concerned and comforting but also not patronizing
• incidentally, the way he is in Doctor Mode™ 100% of the time and if someone so much as sneezes near him he’s gonna fix it or else
• you could just leave your life in his hands and know you’d be okay

In a fit of confusion, I started wondering if Bridget Jones’ singer friend was played by Alexander Siddig. He’s not (he’s played by James Callis), but the characters have the same energy. This led me to this:

Kira Nerys - starts keeping a diary to make sure she doesn’t “die, old and alone, and found four weeks later half-eaten by alsatians”. 

Shakaar Edon - Kira’s boss. “Alcoholic, workaholic, nymphomaniac, peeping-tom”. Kira fancies him. 

Odo - fights for what is right and good. Likes Kira “just the way she is”. 

The interstellar family: 

Dax - says fuck. A lot. 

O’Brien - is chief engineer on a major space station, but spends a lot of his time crying in the loos over his badass botanist wife. (“All I wanted to do was go on a minibreak to Casperian Prime. Am I too clingy?”)

Bashir - realised that becoming salutatorian in Starfleet Medical was enough to get him laid for the rest of the 2370s. 

colonel-kira-nerys:

“This ‘wilderness’ is my home.”

… is still the most brilliant line of any Star Trek series ever, in my humble opinion. They turned the “white savior” trope on its head and made Julian Bashir aka the 1st televised POC Starfleet Medical Doctor clearly in the wrong when he said he wanted to do “frontier medicine” rather than any cushy job, thereby revealing that Starfleet Medical has/had no concept of what the “natives” actually need. (Kira said “natives” sarcastically, and Nana Visitor absolutely blew this scene out of the park)
