Yeah…. I’m just gonna leave this here.
Welp. I’ve finally done it. I’ve finally gotten to the point of this fandom where I stop in the middle of drawing and go, “What the hell am I doing??” And then I go, “You know what? Screw it. If I’m gonna go down, I’m going to do it in style!” *continues drawing*
Guess who just rewatched The Way of the Warrior (aka The Episode in Which Everyone is a Complete Badass)? I’m pretty sure this is basically how it went down.
Bashir and Garak go ice skating or roller skating
Everyone smiles and laughs to see the happy couple struggling over the ice, Garak supporting a laughing Bashir. Many comments are made “ha ha, you’ll need a doctor soon enough!” But when they’re gone and they don’t have to worry about judgement anymore… well, Bashir’s reflexes and balance were enhanced, weren’t they? so…
This did happen, yes.
And the other side, where it is compositionally unsound? Will have Andrew Robinson on it by the end of the weekend. But the story of the SIddig half is sort of A Thing.
I want to say straight up and with all the sincerity I can, that he was a thrillingly entertaining, sweet, and gracious man. He gave everyone very personal attention and really was a joy to experience. He was so patient and generous with his time, I could not clap enough at his panel.
I angsted about this hardcore for the entire first day, and it was only when my friends reported back about how nice he was at photo ops that I decided to splurge on his autograph.
Needless to say, I was sick about this for two hours, and while I watched the panel he gave, I was screaming inside and out.
I got into the autograph line and was having a lovely little meltdown about it. My new buddy kiranerys was there with me and I wanted to make her go ahead of me, which she pretended to be cool with and then switched us at the last minute. I hated her for this for about 15 minutes. I later got over it.
Sooo I got up to Sid and he picked up the painting and said, “Oh, my, this is lovely!” And I told him -relating to his panel in which he expressed the same sentiment - that Bashir’s relationship with Garak was my favorite thing about the show. He thanked me and smiled and did this lovely little fond smile thing, it was really sweet. And then he really looked at what he was signing.
Straight up, I angsted about the level of gay here. I do not want to be That Person. You know what I’m talking about. I was not about to make him uncomfortable. But he looked at the thing and said, “it looks like you caught a little something-something here”. Complete with like, eyebrows and suggestive face. You need to understand that I had Sid making innuendo faces at me and I am thus not responsible for being rendered sort of in-eloquent. When I was not forthcoming with human speech, he said, “Really, there’s something going on here. There’s something. There’s a sort of *~*~*frisson~*~*.” I need you to understand that he most certainly spoke in sparkly italics.
I managed, “Um, well, yeah, I do like - but I really appreciate ALL aspects of this relationship!” And Renae is behind me flustered and trying not to die as well? He asked us if we were always this bubbly and I just blurted, “I don’t know, I only met her yesterday!”
He assured me we were meant to meet in that case.
And then just looked satisfied with outing my shipper intentions and asked if I’d like black or silver.
I had to stumble out of the curtain and laugh/cry and then move to another room and scream.
And that his how Siddig held my autograph ransom until I sputtered that I was a Garak/Bashir shipper. And HE initiated it. Fucking lovely man.
I told someone I would find this story for them like three streams ago. So here we are.
This is a FANTASTIC story! I LOVE it.
Wanted to draw something for my new art blog so I didn’t feel like I was just spamming everyone with old stuff.
Garak does this weird thing where his hand will hover over something and I wanted to draw that… and Bashir does this weird thing where he will do smoochy smoochy face to Garak’s neck and I wanted to draw that, too. Oh, that last part isn’t true? Well, I don’t believe you.
Who needs life when you can draw otp haha
I swear to god this show is as gay as fucking tos
garak: internal screaming
sad-eyed-lady-of-the-low-lands:
I firmly believe that, instead of writing back to Garak after a stitch, julian just, got on the first transport to Cardassia and turned up unannounced on garak’s doorstep to give him a much needed hug

Passive-agressive Garak is best Garak evah.
For Let’s Draw Star Trek. Job Sawp entry.
Too many silly ones lately. Time for a dark depressing one.
No story to go with it just yet. Tried a slightly different coloring/shading technique. Not sure how I feel about it.

Silly little story under the cut.

Sequel to this picture.
Silly little story under the cut.
After this post, I really really wanted to draw Julian in Khan’s yellow outfit, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t think up a scenario where it would actually happen. So, I drew this instead.
In a secondary note, why didn’t anyone tell me that I misspelled Khan’s name every single time in that other post? Bad me.
Holy crap I found (and bought for a quarter) these con photos of Sid and Andy from back in the day. JFC they are so 90’s and adorable
I WANT TO DRAW A PICTURE OF THAT THIRD ONE AS JULIAN AND GARAK.
I will probably do it soon. (though probably not tonight.)
