A tiny fragment of life

Thinking about how ds9 came out on the tail end of the AIDs crisis. How Garak and Bashir represent two very different types of gay men in that landscape: an older gay man who has watched so many people die, is riddled with guilt and PTSD; and a young man just finding himself, bright and full of hope.

How Garak looks at Bashir and sees everything the world has stripped from him: his ability to trust, his hope, his gentleness. How Garak has been forced to harden himself to survive. How he looks at all of Bashir's goodness and is terrified for for him. And how much of that is how I feel when I look at younger gays.

Anyway this is Garak.

Mulder: Damn, you played me like fiddle

Krychek: Oh no, Mulder. Fiddles are actually difficult to play. I played you like the cheap kazoo you are.
