DS9 scene. Bashir and Garak are both in tuxedos in a ballroom/gala looking space. Bashir is leaning in close to Garak like he's making a point with emphasis. Garak is just chilling and listening. Closed caption reads, "This is a fantasy."

This needs to be one of those tongue-in-cheek, hang-on-the-wall cross-stitches.
Post thread from ‪@solomonmissouri.bsky.social‬ that says: Remember guys … when someone is annoying… you get to walk away… But they are trapped in there Because an annoying person is also annoying to themselves Being annoying is the gift that never stops giving You get to walk away… they get to walk with it The thread ends with a still of Jenny Ortega as Wednesday Addams with flamenco snapping arms during her creepy cool dance routine.
