ID: the trolley problem meme showing a trolley about run over five people tied on a track, as well as a curved track the trolley could be switched onto with only one person tied on. Benjamin Sisko is holding the lever that could switch the trolley over to that other track. Meanwhile Garak stands to one side, smiling, hand on a dynamite lever.

Text beneath this image reads, "There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have three (and only three) options:

1) Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track.

2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

3) (this option is edited in a different font) Wait long enough that the Morally-Ambiguous Gay Space Lizard that lives on your space station reveals he's planted a bomb on the trolley that he can blow up before it hits anyone" / end id

Reading comments saying how in Deep Space Nine whenever the crew faces a moral dilemma, they often just turn to Garak, and it made me think of this

ID: screencaps from DS9 of Picard speaking to Sisko. Picard is smiling asking, "have we met before?" to which Sisko, face serious, replies "Yes, sir. We met in battle. I was on the Saratoga at Wolf 359." What follows is the meme of Homer Simpson retreating into a hedge until he's completely vanished from view, but with Picard's face photoshopped onto Homer's.

ID: first reblog shows screencaps from DS9, one showing Julian smiling wistfully and the next showing his worn brown teddy, Kukalaka, sitting on a shelf.

Next reblog shows black-and-white fanart. Panel one is Garak holding Kukalaka up proudly, smiling big as a speech bubble shows he's talking about the ribbon now around the teddy's neck. The next three small panels show Garak holding the teddy out to Julian, who swiftly grabs it and then is shown holding it up while smiling, a heart between him and his bear, as Garak walks away, his job done. Final panel is a slightly more detailed style than the rest, showing Julian from the shoulders up holding Kukalaka close, both arms holding the teddy to him, eyes shut. / end id

ID: fanart of a Cardassian baby in overalls and a striped shirt, holding a teddy bear. The baby has a reptilian tail and face, and looks extra small in the center of a white background.

ID: fanart of Julian Bashir and Garak standing in a market draped in fabrics, mostly yellows and oranges. Julian has his arms extended as he looks at the long orange tunic he's trying on. Garak stands near him, in a similar orange outfit, fabric draped over one arm as he smiles fondly at Julian. Garak is stylized to bring out the reptilian elements of Cardassians, his neck longer and face ending in a snout; his hands have claws.

traditional Cardassian outfit

ID: Deep Space Nine fanart showing Jake and Nog sitting and dangling their legs from their favorite place overlooking the promenade. Odo stands behind them, hands on hips.

id: fanart of Julian Bashir from the shoulders up, smiling huge with eyes sparkling; he is looking towards something out of view towards the top right of the image. The background is black with red, blue, and yellow light arcing out from a central point behind Julian's head.

Garak criticizes Shakespeare and the tragedy of Cæsar/Brutus because "He should have seen it coming. He was a military tactician, he should have anticipated it."

But when he's delusional, he says his friend Elim (himself) betrayed him before he could betray Elim. "Elim destroyed me. Before I knew what was going on, I was sentenced to exile".

Of course, Elim >is Garak, and IMO this means he betrayed himself. I think he's the kind of liar who makes it sound convincing by half-believing it.

Did he let the bajorans go? Did he frame himself for it? Is Elim his sense of truth and reason, sometimes horrified by his attitudes, sometimes killed by his blindness to duty, sometimes his judge, jury and executioner, while Garak is the plain and simple muscle, the man who executes orders without thinking?

Is he ashamed of not seeing his own betrayal of himself, because a good tactician sees it coming?

Idk. Just thoughts

ID: DS9 fanart sketched in blue ink on a light yellow background. Kira Nerys calls "Odo!" and looks down towards a mug that is saying "Officer, I'm here..." Kira upends the mug into the palm of her hand, asking "Odo! What are you doing here?" The blob in her hand says "Officer...I...got tuckered out..."

watched the first ep and immediately fell in love

ID: DS9 fanart of the "it ain't much, but it's honest work" farmer meme (RIP to a real one) edited so that it's Elim Garak as the farmer with his overalls and hat and all.

Garak whenever he kills someone who HAS to be killed but the others can‘t kill them for moral-issues

why was bashir a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century? like dude it's fine you can relax. actually wait the tense here is kinda funny. i used past tense because ds9 is from the 90s and i watched it in 2021 so in both cases it's from the past in my view. but when talking about a text you speak in the present: why IS bashir a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century? but the statement is half about how ds9 takes place in the scifi future: why WILL bashir be a closeted homosexual in the 23rd century?

#there are so many funny responses in both replies and reblogs #my brain shorted out i couldn't choose one you're just gonna have to go read them all #but some of my favorite theories in the notes are: 1. being closeted is part of his whole playing-old-timey-secret-agent bit #2. the augmentation made him gay (bi) so he has to keep it secret #3. having a closeted tentative but passionate mlm love affair is essential to the space time Cold War vibes ds9 was going for #fantastic work everyone gonna go ahead and tag this shitpost as #meta #julian bashir #funny #omg also random but anyone ever notice that bashir and queer rhyme? it's like how #hannibal rhymes with cannibal but all the other characters refuse to notice the Obvious Clue #quark brings it up once and someone shuts him the fuck down. 'it's a coincidence it #rhymes with queer!! it's just his name you jerk!!'
