20, 21 and 26 for Qcard on the headcanon meme s'il tu plaît =D
Thank you for asking darling! ♡♡♡
20. Where do they go on holiday?
They rarely visit the same place twice. Q can take them literally anywhere in the universe, and Jean-Luc is an explorer by nature. Though they learn the hard way that some destinations are a bit overwhelming for humans (visiting the heart of an atom, exploring the space between dimensions,…)
Some of their favorite destinations are: supernovae, Risa, a sentient planet in the Gamma Quadrant, Earth’s 19th century, the nothingness floating over a star cluster, nebulae, Paris (France, Earth)…
21. Where do they get nervous about going with one another?
Answered here.
26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?
Gosh, where do I start? Depending on how far into the relationship they are… there are several serious chats to be had. The obvious one is about trust. They need to learn to trust each other, completely, and I think that takes a lot of time.
And then there’s the unpleasant subject of Jean-Luc Picard’s mortality.
“Don’t tell me,” Jean-Luc always says. “I don’t want to know.”
And he really doesn’t. He doesn’t want to know when it will happen, or why, or how, or what there is after. This puzzles Q - yet another way Jean-Luc manages to surprise him. Humans have been obsessed with death ever since they started walking the Earth, and yet when presented with the answers this wonderful man refuses to listen.
“I have to die, Q. I can’t live forever.”
But he can, just a snap of Q’s fingers and Jean-Luc Picard can be immortal. Q doesn’t understand. He asks, again and again, he asks every day, and every day the answer is the same. “I can’t live forever.” Why not? “Because I don’t want to.” But why? “Because I am human.” And that’s what it is, really. Q can give Jean-Luc immortality, but he will always be human.
Human. Defined by life and death. That’s Jean-Luc Picard. Incapable of being anything but human.
Q doesn’t understand this - doesn’t understand why it’s so important to Jean-Luc. I think they need to sit down and talk about it.
