classic twink. the outfit itself is a little too futuristic and uniform to fit to be tacky gay, but the form-fitting fabric shows off a little gay flare 4/10
similar to above, but somehow feels straighter? bulkier fabric and less color. ultimately a very straight look 2/10
i know i said i didnt think this outfit is gay but… i think the popped collar adds another dimension. i dimension that makes me think for .3 seconds, i am a lesbian, right? i based on the look hes giving garak too im going to up this to a 6/10
TACKY FASHION GAY ICON… i mean seriously? imagine a straight man wearing That? he couldnt, hed be arrested by the gay police…. what an icon! that collar! those collars? 9/10 hes gay boys!
heres a little more twink!!! slicked back hair gives the impression of a hipster old fashioned professor with an artsy boyfriend, plus the original tos uniforms are definitely, definitely, a gay look, albeit toned down 7/10
really? tuxedoes ARE GAY!!!! theyre gay!!!! if you wear a tuxedo you are gay!!! adding on the context of this particular outfit which i personally think of as that garashir ds9 episode i think we can all agree 10/10
this is high comfort lesbian fashion. i definitely have this outfit in 10 variations in my closet right now at this moment 8/10
feels a little too disney prince to be truly gay. something about the fake jacket feels a bit heterosexual for me. starfleet is 100% homophobic for having the opportunity to go full twink on a dress uniform and to give me this colorless straight thing 2/10
almost twunk but not quite, ends up feeling a bit awkward. tacked onto the setting of drinks with the boys after 24th century call of duty it doesn’t reach its gay potential. still, definitely has a spark with the color and the weird white tie thing, please expand upon julian bashir in old military uniforms, id like more 4/10
while baseball IS STRAIGHT and i stand by that, this is very Not Straight. the red polo tucked into the white pants? garak 100% picked this out for him and julians like yeah my boyfriend helped me with this :) its the only reason it looks coherent at all. thank you garak 7/10
OK!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE TACKIEST GAY LOOK IVE EVER SEEN…. THIS IS A GAY LOOK!!!!!!!! literally no straight man would EVER. THE POSE!!! hes lounging like yes, i am a twink! the fucking paisley pants! PLEASE! this man is such a twink. everything about this. the purple tank top with a blue stripe right over the nipples. yeah. this. this is gay. 11/10
DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY IT? TWINK! IMAGINE THINKING THIS IS WHAT YOU WEAR TO PLAY SPORTS? GAY POWER MOVE OF THE 24TH CENTURY! NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT THIS TURQUOISE MONSTROSITY 1000/10
I am convinced Leeta tried to give Kukalaka back but she didn’t realize it was the Changeling and he was like “What? I don’t need a stuffed bear. Keep it.” Because Leeta is a good person and YOU DON’T JUST TAKE SOMEONE’S TEDDY BEAR
You especially do not take someone’s teddy bear if they’re an adult. They’ve kept that thing for decades, they love it more than they could ever love you. If you make them choose between you or the bear, prepare to lose.
(Also, Ameera’s headcanon works pretty well timeline-wise. Leeta and Julian break up in “Let He Who Is Without Sin…”, if we assume Julian is replaced before they replace the uniforms then he was probably replaced around “The Ascent” which is two episodes later.)
Okay, sorry to hijack this post but it just reminded one of the main reasons I’m just SO ANNOYED the series didn’t end with Julian going off to Cardassia to help rebuild it, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my little Garashir shipper heart.
No, it’s because we were cheated of the scene of when Julian is saying goodbye to everyone, and someone mentions how tough it’s going to be since Cardassia’s been “bombed back to the stone age” or something like that, and then Kira says, “Well, I guess the Cardassians are lucky one of the best doctors in Starfleet still has a taste for frontier medicine” wink, haha.
but then Julian just gives this self-deprecating little smile and looks her straight in the eye and says, “It’s not a frontier. It’s their home.” And they just smile knowingly at each other, appreciating how much things have changed and how much they’ve both grown and learned and UGH I’M JUST SO M AD I DIDN’T GET TO SEE NANA AND SID ACT THIS SCENE CAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERF
I’ve been wondering about the DS9 Harry Potter AU, and how Julian’s enhancements would translate.
I think I’ve got it, and it’s tragic as hell.
You know how, during Voldemort’s reign, there was all that propaganda about muggleborns and how they clearly couldn’t have been born with magic, so they must have stolen it?
Yeah. So what if Julian was born a squib? And his parents started dabbling in forbidden magic in order to make him magical… and succeeded.
i don’t know how to insert a readmore in mobile so you’re going to have to deal with this post. bear with me. i don’t understand why ds9 fandom casts garak as some sort of suave oscar wilde daddy dom when he’s clearly the kind of older man who gets trashed at a casino at 3pm on thursdays and tips dabo boys extra to hold him while he cries
the first thing we ever see him do is beeline over to the very shiniest twink from a nation comprised solely of shiny twinks (while he’s fucked up on space oxy btw) like “hey, i usually don’t approach people from space grindr in crowded public places before noon like this, but i haven’t had sex in nine years, so hmu if you ever want to…. ‘visit my tailoring shop’……… as they say.” he’s not that smooth.
imo that’s the very thing that makes g/b so great. like while garak IS technically a dangerous feminine powerful enemy spy, which as we all know is julian bashir’s charmingly bisexual fetish, even when bashir runs into ops for the first time like “I THINK GARAK IS A SPY AND WE CAN LEARN ALL MANNER OF SPY SECRETS FROM HIM” jadzia is immediately like “bro maybe but i’m pretty sure he mostly just wants to s your d.” and it’s actually incredibly magical that it even works!! ONLY fucking julian “teach for america” bashir would look at this portly middle-aged disaster of lizard man like “holy shit, i finally found my very own bond girl, holy shit, my dream.“ i honestly honestly just don’t think people understand the central themes of star trek: deep space nine at all
“the only issue I have with The Best Post in the World is that Oscar Wilde, while suave, was also the type of older man to get trashed in a casino at 3pm on a Thursday and pay a young man to hold him while he cried”- me
I’m going through my own ds9 tag because its gold and god, its a fuckin’ tragedy that OP deactivated, because they were a visionary
changed my url but im still here and my posts are worse than ever b4
i missed this the first time around but I want to Endorse This Officially.
julian ‘teach for america’ bashir is the greatest thing i have ever heard, nothing will ever top it
I literally can’t pick a favourite part because I’m too busy crying actual tears of laughter
