#star trek ds9 #julian bashir #odo ds9 #elim garak #miles o’brien #REALLY SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT #julian would learn to be more careful/delicate social-cues-wise and odo would learn to be more relaxed and lighthearted #(quark does that a little but since their jobs are necessarily opposed it doesn’t happen often) #i think. odo n julian would engage in puns battles. about soup #julian with his xenophobia and awesome doctor tendencies: you are so cool?? you are so cool #odo who is not regularly faced with open admiration: my body temperature is whatever i want it to be #julian: THATS ALSO VERY COOL #not to mention they ofc have amazingly compatible trauma parallels #i just wish they’d been friends #i sorta feel like a lot of characters had predetermined relationship and weren’t often allowed to mingle beyond their sorta-cliques #so i like exploring noncanon friendships. like julodo. odolian #oh well i’m not shipping them i don’t need a ship name #yknow what? no. platonic ship names for the win #there u go pizza there’s ur miles are u convinced i don’t hate irish people get/j
