Janeway: *chokes on something* Chakotay: Kathryn, don't die on me! Janeway: Don't tell me what to do, I'll die whenever the hell I want!
Janeway: Where’s Tom? Chakotay: Doing stuff. Janeway: I don’t like the sound of that. Where’s B'Elanna? Chakotay: Trying to stop Tom from doing the stuff. Janeway: And Harry? Chakotay: Trying to stop B'Elanna from stopping Tom from doing the stuff. Janeway: I see. And what are you doing here, Chakotay? Chakotay: I’m supposed to stop you from stopping Harry from stopping B'Elanna from stopping Tom from doing the stuff.
Voyager Crew's Bookshelves
Janeway
Classical literature, poetry, and every book Chakotay has ever owned, all “temporarily borrowed”
A few smutty romance novels she swears are “anthropological studies”
A stack of technical manuals she absolutely does not need
1001 Pubs to Visit Before You Die, bookmarked at every Irish one
A half-finished Klingon cookbook she keeps meaning to return to B’Elanna
A tiny notebook titled Coffee: A Love Story (self-authored)
Chakotay
A bunch of empty shelves
A couple of newly replicated self-help books
Tuvok
Vulcan poetry (the kind that makes humans cry from boredom)
Dealing With Humans: A Survival Guide - Expanded and Revised Vulcan Language Edition, which he has personally annotated with the intent of contacting the publisher one day with his recommendations
When Nasal Inhibitors Fail: A Tactical Response Manual
Vulcan recipe books, with recipes bookmarked for Neelix's interest in the hopes they'll be "zesty" enough to avoid alteration
War and Peace, because Janeway gave him it, insisting he “broaden his horizons”
He has read it. He did not enjoy it. It was originally Chakotay’s.
B’Elanna
Technical manuals, half of them annotated with “Tom, stop touching this”
Several smutty romance novels, and some steamy classical literature, loaned to her by Janeway, who cannot remember where she got them from...
A secret stash of poetry she will deny exists
Tom Paris
Technical Manuals for Dummies, all with sarcastic notes from B’Elanna
The Pop-Up Kamasutra (he claims it’s “for educational purposes”)
The Guinness Book of Galactic Records
A collection of pulp sci-fi novels he pretends are ironic
A holo-novel script titled Captain Proton and the Curse of the Spider Queen
Harry Kim
Sheet music. So much sheet music. Enough to build a small fort.
A self-help book Janeway gave him, filled with handwritten notes that look suspiciously like Chakotay’s attempts at encouragement
A book titled How to Advance your Starfleet Career that he keeps “for motivation”
A copy he was given by Megan Delaney as a gift
A third copy Tom got him as a joke
The Doctor
Photons Be Free
One poetry collection gifted by Janeway
Chakotay swears it’s his
A medical textbook he wrote himself, titled I’m Surrounded by Organics
A holo-novel manuscript called The Doctor’s Odyssey, which he insists is “not autobiographical”
A single romance novel he claims is “research”
Neelix
A few Vulcan books because he thinks the script is pretty
Every cookbook in the database, including ones he definitely shouldn’t be using
Books on herbology and home remedies, half of which contradict each other
A Talaxian children’s picture book called The Happy Leola Root
Kes
Horticultural books, many with pressed flowers inside
Fantasy novels and fairytales she reads to calm her mind
Anthropology books Janeway thought she’d like, but she's certain they belonged to Chakotay one upon a time
A meditation guide she borrowed from Tuvok and actually returned
Seven of Nine
She does not require books
She has perfectly memorised the entire database
B’Elanna gave her How to Win Friends and Influence People
She read it, annotated it, and returned it with a 47-page appendix explaining why it is “ineffectual”
She keeps one physical item: a tiny engineering manual Harry gave her, because he looked so hopeful
Ayala
Several of Chakotay's books he's spotted while in various peoples' quarters
He's feigned interest in them and plans to return them to Chakotay
Once he's read them himself, but he's a slow reader
Janeway has already borrowed one back from him
EMILIA CLARKE — Me Before You, 2016 — costume design: Jill Taylor
I need her wardrobe. Idc that I'm a boy, i just want to wear whatever she's wearing.
Aight so TNG had the Captain in a situationship with his CMO, DS9 had a gay situationship including the CMO., Voy had a Captain in a situationship with her XO.
Meanwhile TOS has the captain in a gay situationship with his CMO and XO who are also in a gay situationship with each other

*Chakotay is casually searching around the bridge* Tom: Chakotay, what’re you looking for? Chakotay: My will to live. *Janeway walks onto the bridge* Chakotay: Oh, there it is.
unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.
Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.
Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.
By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.
There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.
That's queerbaiting.
Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.
The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.
Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.
Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world
Chakotay: I have a bad feeling about this. Janeway: Oh don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Tuvok: Indeed. What is the worst that could happen? Chakotay, being bailed out of jail the next morning: I hate you all.
Your problem is you are trying much too hard to be respectful.

Chakotay: Kathryn, you can do anything! Janeway: Anything? Chakotay: Anything! Janeway, holding a torch: ANYTHING?!?! Chakotay: Wait, not that!

Janeway: I am the most responsible person in the group. Chakotay: …You just set the kitchen on fire. Janeway: Yes, and I take full responsibility for that.
Incorrect State of Flux
Carey: Commander! I found apples! Neelix: Those are death apples. Carey: Neelix: They'll kill you while making you feel like you've been stabbed in the testicles! Chakotay: Why are you smiling while explaining this? Neelix: I dunno, try eating this ugly little bastard instead! Neelix: *hands Chakotay a Leola root* Chakotay: *takes a bite, spits out out, narrowly avoids vomiting* Chakotay: Are you trying to kill us? Neelix: The gag reflex subsides if you cook it Chakotay: Will cooking it improve the taste? Neelix: Nope!
Paris: Captain, something’s lurking. Tuvok: Cloaked ship. Janeway: Great. Who’s stalking us now? Tuvok: Kazon. Janeway: Of course it is.
Chakotay: Where’s Seska? Kim: Probably in a cave doing crimes. Kim: Or picking berries.
Seska: Oh thank the Prophets, it’s you. Chakotay: Why are you here? Seska: Mushrooms. I wanted to get you high, I mean, make you soup. Chakotay: We’re being shot at. Seska: But I found shrooms.
Seska: Here you go sweetheart, one steaming hot bowl of perfectly normal soup Seska: Neelix tried to add leola root. I fought him. Chakotay: Nice Seska: Then a few folks started crying to distract Neelix and then I stole the shrooms! Neelix: Neelix to Chakotay! I am a reporting a serious crime! Chakotay: I know Neelix: It was that bitch Seska! Neelix: The soup's actually quite good, but how did Ayala put it? It's making him trip balls Ayala: I CAN SEE SOUNDS Chakotay: Understood, I'll punish the criminals myself Seska, grinning: Chakotay: Not like that, you're on bread and water for two days Seska: I don't like the sound of that, how about you spank me instead? Chakotay: No Seska: You're no fun anymore. I’ll flirt with Harry instead.
Kazon: Help us. We’re dying. Neelix: It’s a trap. Janeway: Probably. Let’s go anyway.
Torres: Why are there Kazon melted into the walls? Tuvok: Radiation. Torres: This panel reads "Property of the USS Voyager. No stealing." Tuvok: How predictable of the Kazon to not know how to read
Tuvok: Someone betrayed Voyager. Janeway: Evidence? Tuvok: Not yet. Janeway: Then why are we standing here? Tuvok: Vibes.
Torres: It'll be done tomorrow. Janeway: Today. Torres: No. Janeway: Excuse me? Torres: I am an engineer, not a wizard. Seska: I'll gladly give my life to sort out this minor inconvenience Torres: Sounds sus but okay Chakotay: No that does sound sus, better conspicuously stick Seska on the bridge instead Chakotay: And Janeway enjoys glaring at her so I'll get brownie points
Seska: Why did you pull me off the mission? Chakotay: Divas don't get away missions. Seska: Does being a diva make me a traitor? Chakotay: I’m protecting you. Seska: You're the worst husband ever. Chakotay: I'm not even your boyfriend anymore!
Kes: Your blood isn’t Bajoran. Seska: Childhood disease. EMH: We need your blood sample. Seska: Sorry, I’m busy being dramatic.
Torres: Seska's beamed over to the Kazon ship Tuvok: Her behaviour remains…sus Chakotay: Seska, I told you to quit being a diva! Seska: Fuck off dearest, don't get in the way of my selfish selflessness Seska: Also I want B'Elanna and Carey to look bad Kim: Beaming her back Janeway: Don't - you might kill her! Tuvok: That would actually solve some problems for us Seska: *screams*
Janeway: Did you contact the Kazon? Carey: No! Ask Seska! Janeway: You’re confined to quarters. Carey: This is bullshit.
Culluh: Show me the survivor. EMH: We replaced his blood. Culluh: Cool. *stabs him* EMH: He’s dead. Janeway: Get off my ship.
EMH: Seska isn’t Bajoran. EMH: She’s Cardassian. Janeway: Oh for fuck’s sake. Janeway: I fucking hate the Alpha Quadrant.
Janeway: We'll interrogate her once we get our stuff back. Let's do it! Torres: I did it already, because I'm the competent one, not the dramatic one Torres: Get this, it was a food replicator, and they were trying to replicate.. Yamok Sauce and Kanar? Torres: Losers
Chakotay: You’re Cardassian. Seska: Childhood virus! Bone marrow transplant! Drama! Chakotay: I don’t know what to believe. Seska: Believe that I love you. Chakotay: I believe I’m confused.
Tuvok: Gin. Chakotay: I'd really prefer tequila during this stakeout.
Seska: Chakotay, what’s wrong? Chakotay: We know who gave the Kazon our tech. Seska: Who? Chakotay: You, and you framed yourself. Seska: Why would I frame myself? Chakotay: Because you knew we’d think you weren’t that stupid, but you are that stupid. Seska: Ever consider someone else framed me? Chakotay: We traced it. Sickbay. Nice try. Chakotay: Also, you’re Cardassian. EMH: Yup. Your blood says “Spoonhead” in big neon letters. Chakotay: Why’d you do it? Seska: Because you went from badass Maquis who showed me a good time to Janeway's fucking simp Janeway: You tried to politically destabilise an entire quadrant because you found out Chakotay likes redheads? Seska: Pretty much. Seska: Anyway, this ships sucks ass. Byeee
Paris: Kazon ship going to warp. Janeway: We’ll deal with Seska later, if they don't accidentally kill her while they heat up soup or something. Janeway: The heck did you see in her anyway? Chakotay: Uhm… Chakotay: I have a weakness for crazy people?
Chakotay: Tuvok, was I just stupid? Tuvok: Yes Chakotay: Did you suspect her? Tuvok: No. Chakotay: That actually helps. Tuvok: I fail to see how. Chakotay: Because now we're both stupid.
