Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

Thinking about Garak and his horrible eyes. Imagine being Julian and you wake up at 3 AM and fucking Jeff the Killer is staring at you in your quarters.

I think everything that is happening to Doctor Bashir is so much more fun and unhinged when you remember that it's his first job ever. Like he was just writing his finals a week ago and now he's saving people's lives and flirting with a fashionable spy lizard (affectionately) on the edge of the galaxy

Love in Star Trek when there’s a character who’s regularly anywhere but their station. In TNG it’s Data being in engineering (he wants to see Geordi), in ds9 it’s Julian being in ops (he wants to gossip), and in TOS it’s Bones being on the bridge (he wants to instigate and be close to the drama).
