#let Tuvok have relationships outside of being a mentor to others

[bumblingbabooshka]

Tuvok-Chakotay dynamic should have gone from two people who are always poking at one another to two people who are always joking with one another - in both cases this is an unspoken thing. They’re playing a game of chicken that gets steadily less hostile. From “I’m not trying to be difficult here.” (lie) to “I’m not trying to be funny here.” (lie)

#let Tuvok have relationships outside of being a mentor to others #let him be so annoying and accidentally have fun #also I believe in this platonically like the show could have really done this canonically if they cared to #but also lets step into my smooth and brilliant mind for a second and consider them kissing about this #A trait of Tuvok's that I like is that he likes teasing people and giving them a hard time...being difficult for the sake of it #(when it doesn't matter of course) and I think if Chakotay discovered that he'd love it bc he is also shown to like that sort of thing #Tuvok and Chakotay having a conversation that they're pretending is serious but is 90% joking around ... yeah -nodnodnod- #The two of them just trying to be barely civil to one another ... Chakotay especially bc that's the woman he likes' bff ... but then #becoming actual friends (or more - both options please me equally) with one another outside of Janeway.... yeah!! -nodnodnod- #[VERY OFF TOPIC] Wouldn't it be funny if Chakotay finally kissed Tuvok and when he opened his eyes slightly to see what Tuvok looked like #Tuvok was just staring at him with his eyes fully open and Chakotay first was startled but then just couldn't stop laughing.... #w HY are your eyes open.....(Why did you close yours?) #Tuvok and T'Pel stare at one another while kissing he doesn't know why humans close their eyes when doing their spitty gross version #<- that isn't part of this post I just didn't want to make a whole other post about it (embarrassed) #st voyager #Tuvok #Chakotay
