GODDAMMIT DUKAT I WAS JUST STARTING TO YOU LIKE YOU YOU LITTLE SHITLOOOOOORRRRRDDDDD /flips Cardassia 

[tinsnip]

hearken to the song of my people~~

thoughts on Dukat and Garak both believing what they’re told, and on the past as a poisoned cookie

(Aka: cosmictuesdays is on fire tonight.)

Hannah (cosmictuesdays): This reminds me how part of Dukat’s tragedy is he can’t separate himself from the narrative he’s crafted.
peach: yusssss.
peach: ahh?
Hannah (cosmictuesdays): The Bajorans didn’t care about him; they’d have attacked ANY Cardassian prefect of Bajor.
Hannah (cosmictuesdays): Dukat took it personally.
peach: mmm. that’s true.
Hannah (cosmictuesdays): Someone else - who might in fact have abolished child labor and suchlike - would have been able to see that. How it’s not about the individual so much as it is the position. Sure, they’d have been angry about it, but they’d have seen it’s not them specifically.

But think about it, though.

The majority of the time Damar knew Dukat was when Dukat was at his absolute best. He was leading a small crew against the Klingons to save Cardassia. He was the underdog, so the negative aspects of his personality, which seem to come out most when he’s in power, were hidden. He must have seemed like such a hero, and so inspiring, and exactly what Cardassia needed to become strong again.

And then he allied them with the Dominion.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the first time we see Damar drink is when they’re on Terok Nor. He’s seeing his hero becoming more and more tarnished. He could shift the blame onto Kira and Ziyal as much as he wants, but eventually he would have to face that the real Dukat wasn’t the one on the Bird of Prey, but the one who sold out his people to regain the power that he craved.

Even after all of that, though, Dukat was still enough of a catalyst in Damar’s life that he did probably the best thing he’d ever do in his life—he inspired Damar to become the selfless leader and hero that Dukat never could’ve been.

Cardassian culinary philosophy - if it ain’t got Yamok sauce on it, it ain’t food.

Dukat is suuuuuch a piece of shit but one of my favorite characters in all of Star Trek. 

There’s a rather striking difference in the paint jobs of these figures.

Dukat is sharp-edged. He looks well-put-together. Blue eyes. Hawk-like features. Whatever he wanted to happen is happening.

Garak, on the other hand, woke up, put in brown contacts, and went to town on his face with gray eyeliner.
