Mirrorverse is the best thing ever.

Yes, I’m reblogging Worf.  Can’t be helped.  Sacrifices must be made for Garak.  (and Bashir)

cardassianprincess:

I’m reading A Stitch in Time, and for some reason Garak talking about his boner threw me off. I mean of all things Garak getting a boner should not shock me… especially since he’s writing this for Julian…

4x9 Our man Bashir

They look so fancy.

Garak:  You act as if you haven’t a care in the world.  It’s exactly that kind of smug, superior attitude that makes people like you so…unpopular.

Bashir:  Are you trying to insult me?

Garak:  A 32.7% chance of survival - I call that insulting.

Bashir:  Don’t take it so personally, Garak.

The crew of ds9 o_o

Left to Right,

O’Brien, Garak, Bashir, Worf, Dax, Sisco, Jake, Kira, Quark, Odo, Ducat, and Weyoun.

How’s the spice pudding? Is that all you have to say for yourself? How can you just sit there and pretend that the last ten days never happened? 

misereremei:

Garak: *snerk*

Damar: I fail to see what is so funny, Garak.

Garak: Well isn’t it obvious? Here we are, ready to storm the castle, willing to sacrifice our lives in the noble effort to slay the Dominion beast in its lair, and we can’t even get inside the gate!

Kira and Garak: LOL

Kira: Maybe - maybe we can go up to the door and ask the Jem’Hadar to let us in!

Damar: Or let’s just have them send the shapeshifter out to us.

Everyone: LOL

DS9 7.25 What You Leave Behind

Kira in stitches and Garak breathless with laughter = priceless.

Also, I really, really needed this moment after Garak’s abject monologue in his previous scene. Damn.

misereremei:

Garak: All during the years of my exile, I imagined what it would be like to come home. I even thought of living in this house again, with Mila. But now she’s dead. And this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble. My Cardassia is gone.

Kira: Then fight for a new Cardassia.

Garak: I have an even better reason, Commander: revenge.

Kira: That works too.

DS9 7.24 What You Leave Behind

Goddammit, Garak. You’re breaking my heart.

My my Garak, you’re looking shiny today… :D

I wonder if work and after hour drinking was how Garak and Tain ‘bonded’ over the years. For some reason, I think Tain must have been a very wild party drunk back in his younger years. 

 #precious face ridiculous face want to hug that face etcetera

I imagine that when he walked into an interrogation room, the subject would be confused by the slightly ridiculous, good humored man who surely must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. It must have made it all the more terrible when said man started Eyeing them into submission.

I bet he’d often fake them out by initially pretending to be some minor functionary who they might start to hope would be sympathetic.

Only Garak could play Good Cop and Bad Cop within the same interrogation.

Tain said that he use to have to restrain Garak from interrogating subjects for even the most lightest of suspicions, even Garak he had to drum up charges to do it, because he was good at it and it was fun. And then, when he gets his chance, he can’t do it. Five or six years, four of them with the crew, and he barely go through with Odo’s interrogation.

What changed? It can’t have all been Julian, though goodness knows that boy will wear you down given enough time. Did Federation ideals of the sacredness of life seep in? Did he realize that it was empty power and unnecessary cruelty for its own sake, like in the story with the Bajoran children? Was it having to put a face and personal history instead of dry records and lifeless pictures to a subject that made him want to stop? Was it sympathizing with Odo as a fellow exile? Tain losing his luster as the center of his universe? Losing his desensitization of violence after living in relative peace for so long?

Some combination of the above? 

He really just might be the most complex character of all Star Trek.

I have nothing to add, I’m just reblogging because yay Garak analysis.

also I still want to hug his face

You know I love you and I will always second the notion of wanting you as a life coach.

But I highly doubt this.
