bashir x garak is good in my head and literally nowhere else.

#this isnt ship hate btw i love them both and i love the very touching and sweet dynamic they could have #that is sometimes alluded to in the show. #but i hate how this fandom treats them as just fetishised gay twink y/a/o/i ship 2638252 #you people are so gross and seem to have no regard for them as individual characters #PARTICULARLY white people with julian. i trust like 2 white people with julian. #and these same people definitely have no regard for real gay/bi men and their experiences #at least not from what i can tell #(obviously not referring to shippers who are mlm themselves) #but yeah #theres no one else i would rather ship either of them with but this fandom makes that suck a little you know #op #anyway i heard there was some kind of “ship war” against g*rashir happening right now so i just wanted to put in my two cents #i hate shipping and fandom culture but i do enjoy hypothetical (gay) relationships between characters i like so i felt i should comment #since i do reblog art of them (but im picky enough about that as it is) #sorry if this is just. adding to the fire
