Man if I heard that shit while descending upon a strange land with my brethren I'd straight up dig a hole to die in right the and there, fuck the emperor fuck the gods that's a warning straight from the bones of an older evil and whatever is coming is worse than death
Oh, OP this picture is at Nara Park Bus Terminal! so even if you feel super awkward in the social situation, this is actually a picture of a deer chilling at the place where everyone is expecting to see some deer. The deer is a normal part of Nara. Also this deer is totally used to being here! If it felt uncomfortable, it would leave, since the Nara deer free roam.
You just gotta remind yourself that just like this deer, you are in the situation (social) where everyone is expecting this situation to occur (social situationing), and many other people may even be expressly looking forward to it (seeing you/the deer). Seeing the deer (you) may be the best part of the situation for them.
and even if it wasn't the sole or only reason they are there, they came KNOWING there are 1,300-1,400 deer (you) free roaming in Nara Park (in social situations) and you're going to be a delightful part of the experience. (As long as you don't bite anyone for crackers. Or headbutt them.)
This is the map of Nara Park area, btw. The bus terminal is literally right on the entrance to the park. Also the city mascot is a sika deer named Shikamaro-kun. The little blue path from the terminal is where I bought deer crackers to feed the deer in the photo on the approach to Todaiji temple. (The deer enclosure I think is Rokuen which is where the sick or pregnant deer are cared for in safety.)
Anyways! The deer are expected and beloved and also protected as messengers of the gods within Nara.
(look at this guy!! Imagine he is the same deer as in the first photo, it's just months later with his antlers grown in more and he's napping in the sun in front of a sign that says deer! he was never out of place, he just needed a sunshine nap!)
Deer (you) isn't actually out place at all! deer is important and appreciated. Also if people make deer (you) feel like you don't belong in their (your) own house, you can tell them to leave.
Thinking about when the Stone of Nightsong began to glow, Vaelus held onto it in order to protect it, as it was the only thing she knew how to do. Yet when Hannan reached out to take it, she let it go. The stone immediately created a trinity of bridges between Faerie, Araman, and and an afterlife.
There’s something beautiful about two disparate elves who fought on opposite sides of a long-ended war bridging the distance between them and literally creating pathways to closed and lost realms.

Hi my name is Elim (Tain) Garak and I have ebony black hair as soft as a regnar’s (that's how I got my code name) with gray streaks that reaches my chin and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Enabran Tain (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Preloc but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie and an amazing author. I'm half Hebitian but I pass as full Cardassian. I have pale gray scales. I'm also a spy, and I live in a space station called DS9 in Bajoran space where I’m a tailor (I'm 49). I'm a patriot (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly cardassian styles. I love the National State Clothiers and I illegally import all my fabrics from there. For example today I was wearing a brown shirt with matching brown pants and a shoulder pads, purple accents and a leopard print undershirt. I had gel in my hair, blue ridge blush and forehead blush. I was walking around the promenade. The temperature controls were malfunctioning so it was warmer than usual, which I was very happy about. A lot of federajis stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
if there's one thing the ds9 finale did, it was completely convince me that the only satisfying conclusion to julian bashir's arc would be him eventually ending up on cardassia
a small disclaimer: despite believing in garashir wholeheartedly and adoring the romantic undertones that would accompany julian's moving to cardassia, the narrative elements are the things making me so insane about this, and so convinced there can be no other fate for julian.
the focus on the characters who moved on (sisko, odo, o'brien, worf) made it all the more stark just how unmoored julian is in the wake of this episode, and how much of his connection to the station as home was based on the people around him rather than the physical location. he looks absolutely gutted with each departure and, unlike kira with sisko's baseball, he doesn't really have a moment of acceptance or get to fill a role that was left. in fact, the conversation he does have with ezri just emphasises how, for julian, things are never going to be as good as they used to be.
with this in mind (as well as the likelihood of things calming down professionally for him due to the war being over), it would make much more sense for him to leave the station either after helping with war casualties or staying on for longer. so the question is: where would he go?
given what i've argued about his sense of belonging being strongly tied to people, it stands to reason that the places he would feel drawn to would be the places his friends live. o'brien, of course, is on earth, but considering his tenuous relationship with his parents and his past trauma, and how much he has been able to let go of all that and actually be himself on ds9, i can't imagine it being a place he would be drawn to return to long term. what's more, a human dominated post-scarcity planet would hardly be a challenging environment for him medically. turning to his other strongest relationship brings us to garak on cardassia.
i think cardassia itself would appeal to julian somewhat after spending years slowly learning about their literature and culture through garak. i also think an alien planet would be oddly freeing for him, giving him a chance to live among a population who consider him strange by virtue of being human rather than because he's an augment or because he is (unbeknownst to them) quite an odd human so to speak. I've always seen julian and garak as providing each other a space free of the typical judgements they face from everyone else, and i can totally imagine julian having that association with the planet because of it.
my favourite reason, however, goes back to the ds9 pilot and julian's infamous 'frontier medicine' line. because post-war cardassia, with its bombed out infrastructure and millions dead and displaced, is exactly the kind of situation that would challenge him in that way. except now, julian is older, wiser, and has years of combat experience under his belt. his time on ds9 is what changed him into the person he dreamed of being, and while the reality is much grimmer than he ever imagined, he's now ready to be the person who can go to this devastated planet and help them rebuild from the ground up. in the Our Man Bashir episode of the Delta Flyers podcast, alexander siddig mentioned how the show watches julian grow up over its course. ds9 was a transitional period for julian, and moving on to cardassia is exactly the sort of thing that would allow those changes to be put to use.
i haven't properly got into beta canon (yet), but based on watching the show and the vision of bashir and his arc i've been slowly developing over these past 4-5 months of watching, i can't believe there's any other end for him. his professional satisfaction, social liberation, and emotional fulfilment all point in one direction. and if there's anything i've learnt about julian bashir, it's that he has never been put off by 'uncertain times'.
Comments on this lovely post remind me that I did pitch a book taking Bashir to postwar Cardassia, but Control was already commissioned. So we did Enigma Tales instead.
It never got much more beyond a “this is what I’d like to do next”, “sorry, there’s a story ahead of you”, but I imagine I would’ve done something with the plot of Enigma Tales (but Bashir instead of Pulaski) and many of the emotional beats of The End of This Day’s Business.
As much as I can recall from a brief rejected pitch a decade ago, the central story “engine” would’ve been Bashir heading deeper into covert ops while Garak has been heading in the other direction.
(Bashir doctoring on postwar Cardassia is my personal preferred option, for all the narrative reasons in the original post.)
