On my rewatch of "Generations", I wondered if Worf protested having to dress up in a fancy white shirt and beige vest for his promotion... There really is only one person the crew could've sent to talk him into changing his mind iykwim

In the same vein, I believe Riker told him about the plank challenge to appeal to his battle spirit and get him hyped for the whole thing ☆ And maybe Worf then made a thoughtless comment to Riker like back in "Liaisons", that would prompt Riker to later remove the plank? Anyway they all look fantastic in those uniforms

The most Riker/Worf episodes to rewatch?

Great question! Ones that come to mind are definitely "A Matter of Honor", "Peak Performance", "Where Silence has Lease", "Liaisons" and "The Icarus Factor"  — just in general Season 2, lots of great Worfriker episodes there. I'm tagging them so you can go through what I've posted on them before 💖

Once I've made this "Top 50 Worfriker Moments" post where you can find more episodes to rewatch. Check out this post for more detailed ✨vibes✨ of different Worfriker episodes.

compliment your fellow officers! (insp.)

ID: Three gifs from TNG with an incorrect quote. Troi sits next to Riker and compliments Worf: “I love your hair!” Worf replies, “Thank you. It is genetic and unobtainable”, to which Riker says “It’s true” with a smirk at Troi before they both smile at Worf. End ID.

bonus: Worf’s reaction

“and it might get crazier...” (insp.)

ID: Two gifs from TNG, showing Riker and Worf, with a quote laid on top: “And that’s love? -- Actually, love can get crazier than that.” In the first gif, Riker and Worf stare at each other during a bloody calisthenics session. In the second gif, they are wearing dress uniforms and Riker smiles at Worf. End ID.

Star Trek: The Next Generation 1987–2002

[ID: Three black-and-white gifs that show Riker checking out Worf with a smile. The first one is from TNG S2, with Worf wearing a Victorian get-up. The second gif is from S7, with both in dress uniforms. The last gif is from Nemesis, showing them after Picard announced the traditional Betazoid wedding, meaning Worf will have to go naked. End ID.]

ID: A photo from “Liaisons”, showing Riker holding Worf from behind. They are both in uniform and look confused. In the background, there is a single alien watching them. The caption says, “Commander Riker attempts to calm Worf with a hushed lullaby and gentle rocking.” End ID.

@thirdtwin3 sent me this from the Star Trek TNG: Warped book by Mike McMahan (the guy from the Twitter account that posts TNG season 8), and... Well. He DOES want to calm him in that scene, and I bet he would sing him lullabies too, should the occasion arise (◡‿◡✿)
