Star Trek: Voyager

That's five series cast pieces down! Some of the more challenging characters to capture were in this one. B'Elanna and, believe it or not, Seven Of Nine were the most difficult.

middle of thee night and im reading way too much into how worf and b'elanna's names are both bad anglicisations. it's obvious how wo'rIv became worf (you pull a six year old out of the rubble, ask him his name and write down his answer phonetically) but how does beylana become b'elanna? my moneys on john torres not being familiar enough with the klingon alphabet to transcribe it right on her federation birth certificate but nonetheless wanting it to "look" klingon so he threw a qaghwI' in there kind of at random. the unhinged point that im getting to being that worf's name is a reflection of his violent seperation from Klingon culture and imperfect attempts to reconstruct it from memory whereas b'elanna's is a reflection of how other people's warped perceptions and expectations of "klingonness" have been projected onto her overlapping and obscuring her own sense of identity since birth

Seven learns about how praising others when they do good work makes them feel better and more motivated (and internalizes it as 'this will make them more productive') so when B'Elanna does good work one day Seven pats her head and says "Good job." which irritates and flusters B'Elanna and she accuses her of being insincere and not needing Seven looking down on her! The next time Seven does good work, B'Elanna ruffles her hair and says "Good job!" in an attempt to 'get back at her' and Seven remarks that she doesn't require praise to be efficient. "You're saying I do!?" This creates a system in which they both continue to pat each other's heads and say "Good job!" when one or the other does something good. Eventually this stops being an irritant or even really noticeable and just a facet of them working together. One day B'Elanna just says "Thanks" when Seven hands her The All Important Report and Seven stands there, waiting. B'Elanna looks up, confused. Seven blinks, straightening, realizing that she's waiting for it and becoming a bit embarrassed but B'Elanna grins and pats her head before she can escape. "Good job!"

Neelix: ...and the next thing I knew, I was being boiled alive in a pot of my own leola root stew.

B'Elanna, chin propped on hand: Talk about a nightmare.

Neelix: Well, it was perfectly seasoned.

Voyager Christmas Traditions

Janeway: Is the one who decides the senior staff should do Christmas together, but never actually organises it or cooks anything. She does however always give everyone the best presents before knocking back several brandies and going to sleep while everyone else is still talking.

Chakotay: Turns up even though he doesn't want to be there, gives fairly benign gifts like new coffee cups and photo frames. Picks at the food and moans about it (especially the carrots), bring his own alcohol from his secret stash and waits late to make sure Kathryn actually gets a proper sleep before she takes the morning shift.

Tuvok: Feigns indifference about the whole thing but hovers round the food like a vulture and always clears his plate. Gives thoughtful gifts like books of quotes, handmade ceramics he's picked up while on away missions, or crafts made by his own hand.

B'Elanna: Is cagey around the Christmas party for the first year or so since she only celebrated Christmas when she was really little and it makes her miss her dad. After she fails to get everyone to agree to a Secret Santa, she starts to gift people sweets and cakes, and usually ropes everyone into an after-dinner game of some sort (like charades) because even though she loves the senior crew, she still has a really low tolerance for small talk.

Tom: Arrives carrying copious amounts of booze and sweets he's stashed somewhere. Replicates Christmas crackers just so everyone has to wear a stupid hat at the dinner table. Tries and fails each year to turn Christmas dinner into a potluck to save them all from Neelix's cooking.

Harry: Goes overboard with the gift giving, giving everyone bags full of presents all the while apologising because he's convinced everyone will hate their presents. Gets tipsy and then maudlin at the dinner table, talking about everything his parents used to do at Christmas. Once properly drunk he disappears for a while and comes back with his clarinet and/or saxophone and plays a song or two before Tom distracts him with cookies. He's usually the first one to leave due to being an alcohol lightweight.

Neelix: Is in charge of the cooking for most of their Christmas dinners together. The first year he adds leola root to the stuffing. And decides mashed leola root is far more flavourful than mashed potatoes. He quickly learns he shouldn't do this, but every year after that he makes sure to add leola root to something... just for the nutritional value. Every year he's shocked the crew can pinpoint what he added it to. He almost got airlocked by Kathryn one year and putting mistletoe over her and Chakotay when they were standing talking. He still doesn't understand why she took exception to that because everyone else seemed to find it particularly amusing (especially Tom and drunk Harry who both shouted " just kiss already!").

Seven: Shows up as ordered to her first Christmas dinner with the senior crew, criticises the food and leaves. The next year she does slightly better, by criticising the food and staying. By their last Christmas together she manages to wrestle control of the kitchen from Neelix by claiming that her present to him is to give him the afternoon off. She puts on an extravagant multi-course banquet for her long-suffering friends, even making leola root mash specifically for Neelix.

The Doctor: After getting his mobile emitter, he's a no-show unless he's guaranteed the opportunity to present a slideshow educating the senior staff about different Christmas traditions around the world. He argues that since he can't eat then this is the least they can do to make him feel included. Every year he focuses on a different country or region, but the crew think he's making some of the facts up, especially the Catalan traditions!

Everyone on Voyager were fucking and dating you cannot convince me otherwise. But also with all the issues everyone keeps mentioning. It was the most unhealthy and co-dependent, mommy issues, daddy issues, power imbalance space, and poly relationships to ever exist.

Silly Voyager Trends

There’s a throwaway line in one of Voyager’s episodes where Captain Janeway remarks that Tom had been behind a lot of fads on Voyager, so here are my silly headcanons for some of them :)

Fidget Spinners (Janeway and Tuvok are especially into these but Chakotay takes Janeway’s away because she keeps trying to do tricks she’s seen Tom do and failing and the sound of it constantly dropping gets on his nerves.)

Heelys (Janeway is really excited about these, but Tuvok points out that her heeled boots are too tall to include wheels and she pouts. Seven spends a ridiculous amount of time drawing up plans for high heeled heelys that would not lead to Kathryn breaking her ankles and enlists Harry to help. They give them to Kathryn for her birthday. She is delighted but Tuvok and the Doctor are not convinced of their safety. Tuvok decides to let it go, but the Doctor is angry that Janeway isn’t taking his advice, so he keeps coming up with schemes to take them away. He tries to convince Kes to help him but she refuses because the Captain looks like she’s having so much fun. All is well until the Captain stumbles and is unable to stop as she barrels down a very slanted street while making first contact. Seven has to pick her up and carry her to the sick bay because she refuses to go because she knows the Doctor is going to be infuriatingly smug. He makes Kes take a picture of him with a very disgruntled Kathryn Janeway and it hangs above his desk)

Among Us (The trend starts out relatively harmless, but Tuvok declares it a security risk and bans it after Harry and B'elanna get into a physical fight in the mess hall because Harry claimed B’elanna was peeking at his screen. Tom takes advantage of this and starts selling bootleg copies of the game for replicator rations. Chakotay finds out and tries desperately to get Janeway to throw him in the brig, but Janeway refuses)

Silly Bandz (Neelix’s food is more popular than ever after everyone uses up their replicator rations on collecting as many Silly Bandz as they can. Tuvok is infuriated by the bandz not being up to Starfleet uniform standards. The trend dies out after everyone gets sick of Neelix’s cooking. Naomi Wildman is overjoyed after everyone gives their leftover Silly Bandz to her. Tom Paris approaches her and tries to convince her to help him restart the trend so she and him can trade all of her bandz for replicator rations and split the profits. She pretends to agree, but takes all the rations for herself. Tom complains to Janeway, but Naomi tells him that their contract doesn’t count because she’s a minor. Tom regrets teaching her too well.

Stress Balls (This trend was mostly harmless. It briefly got out of hand when some of the engineering ensigns started tossing them at each other and a couple ended up in the warp core. They were banned from engineering and most people forgot about them. However, Tuvok still uses his, he finds it helps with his intrusive thoughts.)

Jigsaw Puzzles (The Doctor, Kes, and B’elanna take a shine to the puzzles and spend hours in the mess hall on a 3,000 piece Voyager schematic puzzle. Everytime they’re about to finish, Voyager gets caught up in some anomaly or space fight and their puzzle is dashed to pieces. They finally give up when five tries in, the Doctor is about to place the final piece when the ship lurches and the whole thing falls off the table. Kes burns the whole thing with her powers and they refuse to ever mention it again.)

Tamagotchis (Tom learns about them from one of his history books on 1990s Earth culture and is immediately obsessed. Everyone has a good time until Tuvok points out to Kathryn that nothing is getting done because people keep stopping to feed their tamagotchis. Janeway bans them for use outside of quarters but Seven keeps hers hidden with her in the Astrometrics lab. She finds taking care of something calms her down. Naomi knows about her hidden tamagotchi but has sworn to secrecy.) 

Slime (A short lived trend after a distracted Neelix accidentally puts slime in the food and the Doctor demands it be banned after pumping the stomachs of a dozen ensigns unlucky enough to eat the slime. One of the victims, Vorik, refuses to talk to Neelix for a week.)

[traxanaxanos]

Quite frankly, Lwaxana Troi should have been in Voyager. If not simply to complete her appearances on all the 90s treks, but also just for the fun shenanigans and earnest emotions the episode could have had.

Like Q just fucking beams her aboard to cause chaos. She immediately gravitates towards B’Elanna, Tuvok, and Seven, as the most aloof and grumpiest members of the crew.

Her and Tuvok share photos (holoimages?) of their kids with each other. She promises to get in touch with T’Pel whenever Q sends her back to the alpha quadrant (which Lwaxana knows he will, because who is he to leave her stranded?). The episode ends with her getting off a shuttle on Vulcan and walking towards a serene T’Pel, as Lwaxana just launches into a “So! Your husband, absolutely charming! Let me tell you, I have never had a more pleasant voyage across the quadrants...”

Her and B’Elanna bond over their shared loneliness, even if the feeling comes from very different sources for each of them. Lwaxana does agree to go rock climbing in the holodeck, because its something she’s never tried before, but then just hangs in the climbing harness a few feet off the ground and alternates between non-stop complaining and complimenting B’Elanna’s climbing abilities in a way that are secretly insightful and positive remarks on her character, the things B’Elanna tries to hide.

Naomi and Lwaxana team up to encourage Seven to have fun, early in her time on Voyager. Seven is not actually averse to doing a fun activity with Naomi, and Lwaxana knows this, and Seven knows Lwaxana knows this, but they’re both doing an act to allow Naomi to feel triumphant when she successfully “convinces” Seven to do something fun with them.

Lwaxana returns briefly in a Barclay episode and is like “oh yeah The Voyager crew? I talked to them. Lovely. A bit tightly wound,” and Barclay just looses it.

love how much of b'elanna's out of uniform clothes use cool browns and purples and muted autumnul colours it's such a fascinating palette for her. kind of gently morose, closest you can get to street casual poetic goth without going the whole all-black route. again with the way her whole angry-feisty reputation is complete bullshit - she's a cool colours autumn girl at heart, a bit melancholy but graceful with it.

[voysubplots]

Seven confides in B'Elanna that she doesn't feel at home in her own body bc she didn't grow up there. Torres scoffs and mutters that the Doctor was trying to build a vacation house. Seeing that Seven is serious, she offers to help make it feel more her own with a bold haircut.

Janeway calls Torres and Seven to her readyroom just as they're staring to realize that engineering skills don't transfer very well to hair styling. Reluctantly, they agree to meet the Captain, but Torres insists that they transport in so nobody sees Seven's hair-in-progress.

Janeway prepares to remind them of the chain of command, but when Torres+Seven appear, she orders a transport to the holodeck instead. As he beams them over, Harry wonders aloud why they're not walking. Tom guesses that they're in costumes and Chakotay tells him not to speculate.

Janeway calls up a program of a French salon with a stylist, Marie, who she knew back on Earth. Upon seeing Seven's hair, Marie declares that "zis will not weurk!" Seven eventually decides to get a buzzcut as a comfortable compromise between her Borg baldness and her Human hair. 

Upon seeing Seven's buzzcut, the Doctor becomes irate that nobody consulted him. B'Elanna threatens to give him long, feminine, blonde hair. He insists "that would be different" but won't clarify how. Janeway orders him kindly but firmly to "get over it" and eventually he does.
