“He was beautiful, Julian thought. Not simply because of his youth, but because of the life that seemed to crackle beneath the surface of his skin. His blue eyes sparkled with electricity. His movements spoke of a quiet excitement. Even the scent of him, thin as it was on the breeze, seemed to prickle with spice and static. It was something, Julian unhappily noted, that was missing from the exile he knew. That joy, that freedom had gone.”

(I’m always floored by DHW’s writing but this one has to be one of my favorites. Who can resist a young obsidian order Garak?)

Finally got around to finishing the colouring job on this bad boy. I decided not to draw them full body just because I should realllly be working on commissions right now 😅.

This illustration was inspired by @almaasi and thier amazing fic Little Accomplishments performed beautifully by Alexander Siddig and Andrew Robinson ( https://youtu.be/3Tq8zaSObWU). It’s so romantic I’m STILL reeling and rewatches give me life in these bleak times we live in.

I’m a big fan of the “fuck you, Cardassians have tails now” trope to come from the DS9 crowd. Enlightened.

But why? Why the fuck do they suddenly have tails? They aren’t reptiles. No where in TNG or DS9 is it said they are reptiles or used to have tails. Or that they have tails and are chopped off for whatever reason. Why the fuck do people think they have tails or should have tails? Is it some weird ass furry crap infringing on Trek lore or what?

I mean look in terms of character design I think it actually makes sense beyond trolling. Stepping away from anthromorphising aliens in star trek is good because “human aliens everywhere” is one of the ways star trek feels less embedded in it’s universe.

i mean i could take it either way tails seem to fit with cardassian design star trek deep space nine ds9 deep space 9 garak dukat cardassian yes i am giving less credence to the whole a bunch of races came from one place thing cause i think that was a convenient canon for saving on costuming and alien design
