one thing that really interests me about garashir is the fact that julian will probably never be as important to garak as cardassia. in a world where a lot of romance and people’s ideas of relationships involves completely prioritising the other person, i like seeing people who have their own dreams and priorities that they care equally or more about preserving. that being said, i can’t help but love the idea that, as garak grows to care about julian more and more, he begins to subconsciously align julian with cardassia. whether that’s thinking julian has certain decidedly cardassian traits, or imagining how interesting julian would find cardassia, or even eventually recognising that julian’s support makes him better able to serve cardassia. garak will always have one top priority… but what exactly that means could get muddied somewhere along the way.
