we know Dukat and Garak were on terok nor at the same time and tbh though deep & complex headcanons are tremendous and tremendously appreciated, and founded on very canon declarations, to me it is always secretly funniest if they hate each other just, like… because they ran into one another sometimes and just did Not click

#like garak still fucked dukat’s dad but he did not know that at the time

or that’s like beside the point. they hate one another because of petty personal reasons. did garak also blow dukat’s dad? sure. but he only found this out when he was digging up dirt on dukat as part of their pissy feud. “ha ha, his father got executed for crimes against the state! hm and he looks really familiar too /:| “

this is where Dukat got the idea of calling kira at 3am with the “i fucked your mom” speech. he’s not that clever; he had this done to him. recalled as Highly effective

#swiping other people’s mind games (and for getting he didn’t come up with them) is the most in-character dukat thing i’ve ever read#also garak losing track of his honeypots and being like ‘oh i did that one? yikes but it’s a living i guess’
