This scene above it’s the reason of why I detest so much the arc of Julian being so in love with Jadzia in the late sixth season and during all seventh season. The scene above belongs to “Starship Down” - a fourth season episode - and it deals perfectly with their feelings.
As they huddle together for warmth, Julian remembers his younger fantasies, from the time that he had a hard crush on Jadzia, and he actually agrees with Jadzia when she says that he just tried too hard and never gave her a chance of getting to know him. Better yet; not even Julian acknowledges his crush and his almost forceful approach, he says that he got over it and that he didn’t feel that way anymore. There’s a bit of teasing at the end, but it’s playful, and it’s a perfect close for his behavior with Jadzia in the first season.
That’s why it’s really annoying when Julian started to mope around because Jadzia didn’t love him in the sixth season. It felt so off and coming out of nowhere, and it pisses me off that they cheapened their friendship like this and the character’s development of six seasons.

So I livestreamed this tonight, and it was super fun and you should all come to the stream next time. swordfern and I flailed about star trek a lot and henryiiofficial was very patient with our ds9 feelings.
and since I’ve been nostalgic about ds9 lately, obviously I had to draw some Garak/Bashir for old time’s sake.

“Julian snuck a look at him, from the corner of his eye – oh – and apparently that was what an aroused Cardassian looked like. Garak’s eyes had widened, pupils dilating, and Julian saw a flush of dark grey spreading from between the scales on his neck, highlighting his ridges, and ye gods, he must be far gone, because it was just about the most attractive thing he could imagine, but he was not going to touch, not now – “
For tinsnip’s absolutely lovely “Your Love Is My Drug” oh my dog everybody shold read this one (and all the others) *Д*

I can’t wait until the new Game of Thrones season comes out and Doran Martell starts getting some fan love and all these young whippersnappers who know nothing of Julian Bashir start seeing him all over the Alexander Siddig tag.
Like they’re only going to know him as this suave looking motherfucker
But soon
they will know
the adorable doofyness
of Julian Bashir
Because he is a giraffe.
My friend Altovar here is looking to purchase a small quantity of - er, biomemetic gel. And I was wondering if you might be able to tell him where he can find, let’s say, a few hundred millilitres?
I always find it funny that Quark apologizes to Garak in this scene. I mean, if he was going to apologize, he should have apologized to Julian; after all, Quark brought Altovar to their table and he tried to make Julian sell prohibited medical substances; they literally didn’t look at Garak’s direction once. Yet, Quark apologizes to him in a “Sorry to interrupt your date” kind of way that always amuses me.
