STAR TREK: VOYAGER 5.23 “Relativity”

#definitely my favourite scene in this episode #literally just finished watching relativity #unfortunately i wasn’t paying enough attention to this bit #i was too busy making coffee

[ebonysolcum]

i love how janeway slides in with a phaser rifle and just starts shooting, then tuvok, her chief of security, slides in behind her with a tiny handheld phaser, saying "hands on your heads"

like, good thing he's there, because janeway clearly didn't have the situation under control already 🤣🤣

Tuvok also didn't get any smoke for his ride down the chute lmao

#this one scene is the reason i watch this episode #she’s so awesome #kathryn janeway

Not my literature teacher asking me what I think the most important episode of Star Trek is …

#we’re discussing sci-fi on thursday and she apparently wants to show an episode #i’ll be thrilled if she does #but how do you pick the most important?? #she mentioned let this be our last battlefield. the measure of a man. or author author #so obviously she’s thinking of episodes that deal with rights #but still …

Mind melds: Tuvok’s solution to everything.

#like i don’t really care #but i’ve always thought of mind melds as something kinda personal #and only to be used in extreme circumstances #but tuvok is often very quick to suggest one #star trek #star trek voyager #st voyager #tuvok

Me staring at the drawing I’m working on: “I’m going insane. I’m going insane. I’m going insane. I’m going insane. I’m going insane. I’m going insa—”

#i brought this on myself #i could have chosen a different reference photo #this is entirely my fault

Just rewatched Star Trek Voyager's Scorpion, so I'm reposting something I put in someone else's comments a while ago.

Scorpion is just great storytelling from top to bottom, with excellent character work and a winning introduction for Seven of Nine. It's also the perfect example of everything I find captivating about the Janeway/Chakotay relationship.

The two-parter demonstrates that their trust and respect borders on need, and that the lines between professional courtesy and personal affection are decidedly blurred. It proves that Chakotay, often criticized as a doormat, is willing and able to vigorously disagree with Kathryn's judgment and give orders contrary to hers. We see Kathryn repeatedly taking professional disagreements with Chakotay as personal betrayals. It shows Chakotay's discomfort with Kathryn putting her life on the line when safer options exist. Even the twist ending exploits other characters underestimating Janeway's and Chakotay's ability to work past disagreements to find common ground. This is all in addition to the touches and meaningful looks and the "I can't imagine a day without you" and "Are you with me?" "Always" of it all.

Most notably: it demonstrates that, for two people who never openly explore their feelings for each other because they don't want their judgment compromised in a dangerous work environment, they are already compromised. Deeply so. And that's not conjecture; the actors have admitted that they worked with each other and the directors to put that subtext there on purpose.

What we get is a personal and professional relationship that feels real, in all its unglamorous glory. And it's why J/C, in my opinion, is the most beautiful love story in TV history. Which is astonishing for a couple who never even hugged onscreen during Voyager's original run.

🌿 Describe your favorite outfit.

I was gonna say I don’t really have a favourite outfit, more of a general style, but then I realised there is one outfit I wear every weekend, and I’d say that definitely qualifies as a favourite.

It’s a red, long-sleeved t-shirt tucked into black jeans with long, black boots and usually a black beret.

#thanks for the ask! #sorry for taking so long. i had a concert

Admiral Kathryn Janeway

We’re just gonna call this one done. When I say it gave me no end of trouble … Remind me never to draw hands again.

(Quickly hides the four already sketched drawings including hands.)

Digital drawing done in Procreate. HB Pencil on white background.

what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? don't try and be all edgy and cool and say like tetsuo: the iron man. be honest.

talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip

#this is why i bring a cup of tea to one on one meetings

Currently have 68 clips of Kathryn and Chakotay in my camera roll. They’re all short, but still, my poor phone storage.

#also the phone was at 3% #but we’re up to 11!
