the food aboard the ship is edible, at least, but nothing reminds him of home quite like cooking up a traditional meal or two. on their last shore leave, he spent some credits on fresh ingredients and has been devoting a good portion of his energy to COOKING. whenever chekov decided to cook, the entire deck would typically smell of garlic or onions or some other sort of distinctive aroma. but he’d managed to get his hands on some BEETS at the last starbase. perhaps too many, it seemed, since he had a good deal of excess. while it would be nice to keep some to tide him over until their next stop, he hadn’t yet earned the right to store ALL of his leftovers, so he would have to share. ❝ doctor mccoy, would you like some borscht ?? ❞

eyes alight, their blue glittering like the light catching a cool, clear pool of water, excitement rippling through them. pure joy etches itself into his features, the chance to share his own knowledge enough to work up a thrill in him. ❝ you see, it’s ze domovoye who protect ze home, but only if he is kept happy by ze family with gifts. an unhappy domovoi can be something of a NUISANCE... ❞

Chekov probably celebrates christmas on january 6/7, following the julian calendar.

❝ keptin... ❞ his fingers twist together, weaving and unweaving,interlocking and releasing. confidence is a funny thing. on the bridge, he possesses no shortage of it ; secure in his abilities, it’s rare for a doubt to cross his mind. speaking to his commanding officer, under usual circumstances, offers little to fear. but now... for the briefest of moments, their eyes meet before he averts his gaze once again. ( funny how context changes EVERYTHING. ) ❝ I was hoping to get your advice. ❞

the crew is getting settled aboard the ship under her new captain, their professional relationships developing steadily with each successful mission. his youth has proven no hindrance in the field, knowledge and competence outweighing experience. it’s in the social aspects that he’s struggling slightly, not that the crew has been spiteful or dismissive, but rather he’s felt little connection yet. ( lack of effort, to a degree, played a part, but lack of time was perhaps the real culprit. ) but there’s a moment of downtime now, a moment to make an attempt. ❝ lieutenant uhura, I know your specialty is xenolinguistics, but how many earth languages do you speak ?? ❞

so like. we know that baseball went by the wayside in the trek universe but what about other sports? I think there’s a voyager ep that shows that hockey is also an archaic sport but imagine chekov discovering it and being fascinated by it, especially russia’s accomplishments in the sport. imagine him spouting off these russian hockey players, talking about them with this great respect. imagine him rattling off the rules of the game and talking about how wonderful it was, and the rest of the crew just baffled that he would be so fascinated by a sport so barbaric.

headcanon - accent and language.

to the ear of a modern listener, chekov’s accent sounds fake and/or wrong. however, in the 23rd century, his accent is perfectly natural, given the shift in language over time. his occasional use of the ‘w’ sound in place of the ‘v’ sound when speaking english comes from a form of linguistic overcompensation. russian does not have a ‘w’ sound, so using it in english can be somewhat difficult for a russian speaker learning english. he does not replace every ‘v’ sound with a ‘w’ and vice versa -- it’s something that comes out in certain words.

#☆ — the navigator. ( headcanon )#listen I think a lot about his accent #an unhealthy amount maybe #the w thing always bothered me tbh #but then again I did have a great uncle who said 'wodka'#this is just my best justification for his accent tho

headcanon.

chekov was a vodka guy, originally. he considered himself a connoisseur, drinking only the finest distillations from russia itself. anything less was not worthy of his discerning palette. after shore leave with scotty, however, he changed his tune and became a fan of scotch as well. ( it was invented by a little old lady from leningrad, after all. )
