my toxic writing trait is imagining the scene in my head in long, full cinematic detail and then writing: “they fought. it was intense.”

I think if you’ve felt the scene deeply enough, some of that carries into the prose no matter how pared back it is. Or so I fondly imagine. Not that I’ve ever imagined anything cinematically in my life.

Random question: as a curly haired person, how did Daniel get his hair so perfect after the shower? I know vampires don't wake up with perfect hair because...(see: Lestat's distressed hair multiple times) Is there a diffuser on the bus? What's his haircare secret?

He got the rare ‘curl gift’ from Armand

[4.30am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Doctor Bashir, I Presume” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the absence of Garak.

[5.30am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Inquisition” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the absence of Garak.

[5pm] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on work and go and watch “Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the comparative absence of Garak.

[5am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Cardassians” so I can spend the rest of the day vaguely disgruntled at something or other.

This episode is obviously largely a lark, but is there anything sadder than that little Cardassian girl asking Garak of all people to take her back to Cardassia? Sweetheart, he can’t even take himself back. He’s just here to fix the computer and fuck around with Dukat en route to having a breakdown.

I love how we all came out in the reblogs to say canonically he does. How dare you question my boi's honor like that!

Sometimes fandom comes together to do something good in defence of our problematic (allegedly) French fave and his very well educated daughter

going to a conference at a ”new york style” country club which seems to me like an oxymoron. furthermore i thought country clubs were something they made up for american movies. if they ask me to play golf i’ll start swinging and not in the now watch this drive way

update: all of the staff are dressed in orange safari clothes. where am i. what does this have to do with new york.

Literally two of my favourite things. All it needs is Tiny Garak.

It’s a banger scene, BUT. Why don’t they have wrap-up scene with him at the end? Why? It makes no sense. Like, he’s gone before the cast credits. It’s a bait and switch.

And why do S31 have uniforms? “Oh you’re the guys from the ultra-secret covert ops unit, hi guys.”

Every single scene in this episode is absolutely screaming out for Garak’s bitchy commentary we woz robbed.

Oh my GOD the idea of every episode having a Garak commentary track option on the DVD

Imagine all those O’Brien suffering episodes with a commentary that’s mostly Garak bursting out laughing every few minutes.

Garak would have a few things to say about that time O'Brien was put on trial in Cardassia, that's for sure! Surrounded by all these Federaji who don't understand the stern beauty of the Cardassian justice system...

“Oh, but this is barely an interrogation at all! Merely a few probing questions. Surely nothing to trouble any fine and self-respecting member of Starfleet…”
