mainblog to two roleplay sideblogs! roleplayers, please see below the cut!!

MUSES / garak of star trek deep space nine on @lietwice and detective constable morse of endeavour on @dccontramundum. you don't need to be familiar with either of their canon shows to write with them!

GARAK / rules. / about. / verses. / navigation. / interest tracker.

garak is a cardassian tailor living on the station deep space nine. he definitely isn’t a spy. or is he? ( yes. ) garak is quite a solitary man, mostly keeping to himself and preferring to sit in the corner and observe rather than socialise with a group. he has only one real friend, doctor bashir, who debates literature with him over lunch. garak can generally be relied upon to lie to you, whether to hide something, deliberately confuse, or just for fun.

MORSE / rules. / about. / verses. / navigation. / interest tracker.

morse is based in oxford and answers to inspector thursday. morse is curious and clever, and very dedicated to his work. if there are answers to be found, morse will find them, no matter what the cost to himself may be. in his spare time he enjoys listening to opera and classical music, singing in choir, doing crosswords, and taking his work home with him. morse tends to overwork himself. he is also a hopeless romantic and can generally be relied upon to fall in love at inconvenient times with inconvenient people.

The trouble with having both ADHD and chronic pain is that I forget I can do things to lessen or treat said pain. Anyway did you know if you put on your knee braces. which you own for the purpose of reducing knee pain. they will reduce knee pain.

I can't stand it.

I fully understand this isn’t everyone, but love the sect of m/m shippers who don’t want to be inserted into the relationship at all. dont want to fuck them, don’t want x/reader. this isn’t about me it’s about my boys being in situations and then fucking about it. I’m barely a fly on the wall im not even here.

Okay, my need for Garak & cat has suddenly gone from zero to redline, like–

claws? but scales tho?

and so we get, like, kitten climbing Garak’s calf with tiny piton claws and Garak just kind of idly reaching down and scratching its head, “stop that, you’re tickling.”

and cat curled up on Julian (because of course Julian) because he’s warm and Garak doing much the same and Julian just being like fml

and Garak and cat making slow blinks at each other because affection and cat and Cardassian

and also, also cat sharpening its claws on Garak’s scales, like, on his elbow, and Julian looking over in bemusement.

“Doesn’t that hurt?”

“It’s a trifle ticklish.”

“God. Ooh, that looks like it’s got to hurt just a little…?”

“I assure you it doesn’t.”

Rrrr, the cat corroborates.

“If she did that to me I’d jump a meter.”

“I honestly do not understand how cats and Humans have managed to peaceably co-exist. There must have been some mistake… yes, my dear, you agree,” and the cat rubs her head against his finger and redoubles her pleasant skritching. “Clearly the Progenitors made an error… you were supposed to be Cardassian, weren’t you… mmm, well, we shall pretend…”

“She’s not a reptile, Garak.”

“Oh, she very nearly is… look at you, yes, you are a heartless little killing machine, aren’t you…”

Brrrrrrrrt, says the cat.

(help)

[unamccormack]

“Mrkgnao!”

“I quite agree. But don’t say that too loudly, the doctor might hear and he’s liable to take offence.”

Garak having a mental breakdown inspired by the guilt of aiding an enemy fight in a war that’s resulting in the death of his people and a week later being asked to make 12 baseball uniforms ASAP

i hate it when the ball is in my court get that shit out of here

[urghblergh]

For "International Asexuality Day" I wanted to share the comic I created for "The invisible A" zine, that "Ace Space London" ( Instagram) put together. 🙌 Go check out the zine, the amazing art and awesome people who participated! 🌞

[urghblergh]

Get the Zine for free or give as much as you can RIGHT HERE! 🙌🫶

so incredibly based of the bones writers to make Brennan autistic as fuck then have every man who meets her attracted as hell to her AND they dont stop being attracted to her when she does her autism thing, in fact most of the time it makes them more attracted to her.

shes blunt, overly serious, she thinks literally and is extremely competent in her field and the men on this show go "wow that was hot"

[exlibra]

whatever (unbackslicks your cardassian)

[dreamerdrop-deactivated20250415]

Garak can posture and play as dominant outwardly when he wants to or has to, but that’s not his inherent nature by any measure.

Garak is submissive to his core. He wants to be good for someone else, wants to live up to their expectations and make them proud of him.

Garak would be willing to do things like tying Julian up, spanking him, dominating him, edging him for hours on end and engaging in any number of rough kinks, but it would be very specifically at Julian’s behest. It would be done with Garak holding a constant awareness of Julian’s wants and needs and where his boundaries are, catalouging every action and whether or not Julian finds it pleasurable or not.

Garak would treat being a dominant in a scene as an act of service, of worship. He would do it in service of pleasuring his partner and being good for them. He might well derive plenty of enjoyment from it himself, specifically in the baffling level of trust Julian would have to place in him to let him do those things to begin with.

But Garak is not a pushy aggressive dominant. He isn’t very dominant at all in his relationships. He is simply a loyal and dedicated man who will do whatever he can to make his partner happy.

For Garak, dominanting someone in bed would just be an extension of his natural inclinations torwards submission.

And I just think that’s kinda neat.

[knivesandteeth]

I also think Garak would slip into a dominant role without being asked, if he thought it was what Bashir needed in a given moment. Like we see in ITPM that Garak will take control in a situation if he knows that he is fulfilling the wishes that the other party isn't able to face themselves. Sisko v clearly engages Garak, as opposed to his senior staff, in the understanding that Garak will do the things he finds distasteful so Garak takes that as permission to accomplish their goals by any means necessary. Even Tain says "I never had to ask him to do anything, that's what made him special". In this understanding, Garak is an incredibly submissive person who seeks to fulfill someone's wishes without them even fully articulating them. So Garak would take on any and all roles not just asked of him but ones he thinks Bashir wants and needs as well.

dealing with code written by scientists who are bad at programming? obnoxious at worst. generally simple enough that you're better off rewriting most of it.

dealing with code written by scientists who are good at programming? absolutely terrifying. you are presented with a hundred thousand lines of python code written by someone who has no formal training and whose first programming experience was teaching themselves fortran 77 on an old mainframe computer. not a single good practice convention is followed. unreadable syntax tricks you've never seen before are used to save like two or three lines here and there. there are absolutely arcane performance optimizations that have never been seen outside of like one paper published in the 90s and make the program like 5% faster. there's also freshman CS student level optimizations that they completely missed. there is basically no documentation. you are left to learn how it works with the source code and a dozen examples which have maybe three or four comments between them. good luck. may god save your soul.

And it goes without saying that this code runs the most important peice of equipment in the lab, and the equipment hasn't been made since the mid 90s because its too niche, so if you fuck up the coding even a little...

[subspaceshenanigans]

This is exactly how the conversation went

The moment Garak fell harddd for Bashir

[washlore]

since i see cardassians as not having pubic hair i think garak would be a #1 bush defender. for unclear reasons but he Likes it.

doesn't matter if it's f or m garashir. garak likes the bush.

every time you shave it you kill a little riding hound. you monster
