Touching Bedside Manners 🥰

When it comes to Chakotay, Janeway has always had a very touching bedside manner...

And years later, Chakotay finally allows himself to touch her, too.

I hope you enjoy! ❤️

It's been a while since I made a Cartoon Voyager, I hope this one makes up for it 😁

[insanewaykathy]

Janeway: I can't have a romantic relationship with my First Officer because that violates protocol. Janeway also: But nothing stops me from touching him whenever and wherever I want, and also from shamelessly flirting with him in front of everyone.

Janeway: We shouldn't interfere with the natural order of this quadrant. Janeway also: But let's make an alliance with Species 8472 to kick the Borg's ass.

Janeway: We shouldn't interact with hostile species without serious reasons. Janeway also: But I'm dying of boredom, so let's invade a Borg cube.

Janeway: Several Starfleet captains feared the Borg more than the devil. Janeway also: But a temporary alliance with them could be fun.

Janeway: All life matters; you all saw how I sacrificed my own ship to get stuck here to ensure the Ocampa had a chance to survive. Janeway also: But now I'm going to hunt down a Borg cube and kill a drone to get its cortical node and save Seven.

Janeway: We always have to respect orders so as not to cause a diplomatic incident. Janeway also: But I'm very angry right now because those children pushed the ship into the Neutral Zone and I'm going in there, yes, I don't care if it causes a war with the Romulans, as long as I save my husband.

Janeway: Time travel gives me a headache and I try to avoid it at all costs. Janeway also: But if everything goes wrong, I'll go back in time to send my ship back home sooner and avoid the worst romantic pairing in history. And I'll do it again if I want to, if I'm very bored or simply annoyed… And, of course, I don't give a damn about the time police who don't like me.

Incorrect The Cloud

Neelix: Captain! I’ve created a new beverage to cure your caffeine addiction! Janeway: Neelix, the last one tasted like a cry for help. Neelix: This one is better! It's a little hug in a mug! Janeway: It feels like I'm drinking an Armus

Chakotay: You seem tense. Janeway: I’m the captain of a lost starship and my coffee has been replaced by something that could be weaponised under the Geneva Convention. I’m absolutely thriving. Chakotay: Well, crew morale is low. Janeway: So is my coffee supply. Coincidence? I think not. Chakotay: You should try talking to a spirit animal like I do, it's healthier for you Janeway: Let me guess - yours is a bear Chakotay, crying: Why would you say that?!

Paris: We found a nebula full of coffee particles. Janeway: Excellent. Let’s fly directly into it without asking any follow‑up questions. Tuvok: A flawless plan.

Kes: Captain, the nebula might be alive. Janeway: Of course it is. Everything out here is alive. Even the replicator is plotting against me.

Janeway: We may have injured the nebula. Paris: We stabbed it with the ship, Captain. Janeway: Yes, but we did it gently. Like a little prod Tuvok: The readings indicate it was not a "little prod"

Chakotay: Captain, you need a spirit guide. Janeway: I need coffee. Chakotay: Your spirit guide might be a coffee- Janeway: Finally, something that makes sense. Chakotay: -beetle. A coffee beetle.

Chakotay: We need to heal the wound we caused. Janeway: Fine. Let’s go apologise to the giant space jellyfish. Torres: We can patch the wound with a warp plasma burst. Janeway: B’Elanna, that sounds like science. Do it.

EMH: If anyone dies, I want it on record that I disapproved of this entire mission. Janeway: Duly noted, Doctor.

Kim: The nebula is stabilising. Janeway: Well thank fuck for that.

Kim: Would you care to visit France this evening? Janeway: I do love France, what's the plan? Kim: A group of us are playing a game called pool Kim: It involves hitting things Janeway: That sounds delightful!

Chakotay: Welcome to France, care to join us for a game of pool? Janeway: It's perfect that you're here, I've been meaning to get my hands on your stick Paris: That's not how this game works, Cap- Chakotay: -No no no she can handle my stick whenever she wants Janeway: *pots everything* Chakotay: …I'm guessing your spirit animal was a pool shark then

Incorrect Phage

Janeway: Would you care to flirt over breakfast? Chakotay: Why wait till breakfast when we can just flirt right here in the corridor? Janeway: I like a man who thinks on his feet. And we can flirt again later on the bridge

Neelix: Surprise! I’ve opened a restaurant. I accept tips, compliments, and emotional validation. Janeway: The fuck Neelix? This was my private dining room! Neelix: Well now it's my kitchen. You'll have to flirt with Commander Chakotay in public now! Janeway: …I'm gonna go organise an away mission so I can replicate stuff and stay away from whatever the fuck is stinking out this room Neelix: Can I come too?

Chakotay: Away team, stay close to me. Neelix: Absolutely. I will immediately do the opposite.

Kim: Sir, he’s wandered off. Chakotay: Of course he has. Why do I even bother..

Neelix: Hello? Who's there? I bring with me only enthusiasm and zero caution!

EMH: His lungs have vanished Chakotay: That's kind of neat, I didn't know Talaxians could do that. Does this mean he'll be quieter from now on?

Kes: Can’t he have artificial lungs? EMH: Well that's a stupid idea... but actually…

Janeway: We’re going back down there with phasers, cos I'm hella pissed. Tuvok: Captain, the rock wall is fake. Janeway: Shoot it until it stops lying.

EMH: With hololungs he might live forever in a tube, unable to move, unable to leave this room. Kes: So… like a very sad houseplant. EMH: Precisely.

Neelix: Kes, Tom Paris is trying to steal you from me. Kes: Neelix, he’s literally just standing there. Neelix: Where? All I see is a big, ugly hormone looming over you

Paris, flying into the asteroid: Captain, this tunnel is getting narrow. Janeway: Use your judgement. Paris: My judgement says ‘no.’ Janeway: Override your judgement.

Tuvok: We appear to be in a hall of mirrors. Paris: I’ve always wanted to drive a starship through a funhouse. Chakotay: Let’s fire phasers at minimum power and hope for the best. Janeway: That is the most Starfleet sentence I’ve heard all week.

Janeway: Hey you, yeah you, ugly. Return Neelix’s lungs. Dereth: We can’t. We’ve installed them in my friend. Motura: But we'll make sure to give his species a good review on trustpilot Janeway: I sympathise with your disease, but if you steal organs from my crew again, I will personally end you. Motura: If is makes things better we can save Neelix's life. All it'll cost is another member of the crew a lung

Kes: I volunteer as tribute Dereth: Are we gonna leg it before they figure out her lungs only have a shelf life of like 7 years? Motura: Duh, of course we are

“HE BUILT HER A BATHTUB!” *i scream as they drag me away*

[insanewaykathy]

It's not just the fact that he built a bathtub. But also the fact that the bathtub only fits one person. That kills me because, while it shows that he's in love, it also shows the respect he has for her. It's not an insinuation of desire, but also of respect, respect for her desires. It's as if he's saying that he respects her space. Of course, he would build a bigger bathtub without problems, if necessary 🤭 But the best part is her being naked in the backyard, getting into the bathtub and taking a bath without any covering, and all this just a few meters from the cabin. She trusts him completely, but it's not just about trust, because I'm sure she wouldn't do that if it were Harry, for example. There's a romantic implication in that, trust and exposure of her own body because she knows that the other person will respect that and will never peek.

Oh, these two kill me, seriously!

[the-coffee-nebula]

During season 1:

B'Elanna: Ooh, somebody has a crush Chakotay: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Janeway I just think she's a pretty cool captain, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about her. *Later that night* Chakotay, very much awake: Uh oh.

[toboddly]

yk janeway and chakotay truly make me insane bc whilst chakotay is finding a new sense of purpose and inner peace and working thru his trauma and anger that he's been haunted by literally his whole life, janeway is slowly but surely feeling her identity being chipped away as she grapples with upholding her ideals and morals in the face of the reality of voyager's situation as well as trying to retain who she is outside of her captaincy even as she clings to it as the last vestige of protection against the sheer weight of her duty of care and the responsibility of 150 lives that she holds. and also they want to make out constantly. absolutely insane command duo.

[bizships]

Yes!

This is why I say he’s her rudder. Because he calls her Kathryn to remind her of who she is.

She keeps her ship on the path toward home and Chakotay keeps Kathryn on the path toward home.

They truly are a perfect pair.

[forestgirl19]

This is probably what every j/c shipper was thinking in this moment, because I know I was😂

Star Trek: The Next Generation // S04E10: The Loss

[sherdnerd]

The most accurate thing about Star Trek is starfleet captains' penchant for dramatic speeches about humanity and hope. Turns out astronauts are actually just like that.

[michellee]

whatever you say, miss gorgeous

[the-ghost-fangirl]

That’s captain gorgeous to you (jk jk)💕💕

[we-all-get-hats]

i just know in my heart that lwaxana troi would be a HUGE chappel roan fan

i mean

OBVIOUSLY

[existennialmemes]

Eight episodes is not enough for a season. A proper season should contain no less than:

12 Plot Driven episodes

5 Filler Episodes with vague but crucial references to the main plot

8 Purely Filler episodes

For a total of 25 episodes per season. This is what we deserve. This is our birthright.

Show runners need time to tell their stories. They need to space things out to generate suspense. They need to put their OCs into Silly Little Situations with no plot development just because those situations would be fun to watch.

Please, I'm begging. Restore this storytelling medium to its former glory. It's not too late.

[startrekprodigyfan]

One of the most common complaints about Star Trek I saw growing up was “why don’t they use the holodeck more? If you were living in that time period and you could just make anything you wanted anytime you wanted and live out fantasies forever, why aren’t more people addicted to the holodeck?”

And then generative ai was created.

And now I get it. I get why nobody on Star Trek spends all their free time in the holodeck. I get why all the crew are putting on stage plays, and holding music recitals, and building models, and playing poker. I get why everyone was so skeptical and mean to the Doctor on Voyager. I get why the ONE TIME we see someone obsessed with the holodeck it infringes on people’s likeness rights and permissions.

Because fundamentally at the end of the day we are human beings and we ENJOY working with our hands and making REAL human connections. A person who learns to play an instrument is always going to be viewed as an artist over someone who asks the computer to generate music for them.

Even as recent as Lower Decks they were making fun of the fact that the crew were putting on amateurish plays and holding music recitals. But after living with Ai for so long and seeing how detrimental it’s been to the world… I’d much rather watch my friends put on a stage play than “participate” in a holodeck movie.

What’s most amazing about this is that it was completely unintentional. I do not for one second think that the writers of the time in the 90’s were really thinking about the larger issues that generative ai and chatGTP would cause. How could they? Text to speech back then was still robotic as heck. More likely they wrote that stuff in because it was cheaper to film on sets the owned than try to build, film, or rent out different locations each week.

That’s the down to earth logistical real reason Data is reciting poems about his cat or Riker is in a play put on in ten forward. It’s just cheaper to do that than to build a whole new set or move production to a new location.

Yet at the end of the day, I think that unintentionally speaks to a very human need that ai is making more and more prevalent to us day in and day out.

And that’s the fact nobody wants to deal with generative SLOP.

[startrekprodigyfan]

I don’t know why THIS is the post I’ve made that is going super viral, so I’m gonna use my time to recommend you all watch Star Trek Prodigy. It’s on Netflix. It’s two seasons long. It’s a mix of classic and new Star Trek media and is essentially a continuation of Voyager.

[midnightlovestories]

It's absolutely wild in how many episodes of season 6 and 7 or Voyager, Chakotay is nothing more than a background. Literary, he has like 2-3 lines of dialogues in the entire episodes. And Harry Kim is just there delivering technobabble. 😳

Seven of Nine is given the lines that would be much better suited to any other crew member than her.

Why is she conducting and delivering efficiency reports of the crew in Good Shepherd when this is literally First Officer's JOB, why is delivering this instead of Chakotay?

Or, idk it really bugs me, but there's this one scene in season 7 ep Drive, between Seven and B'Elanna, where Seven says that she's learned that if she embraced some of his interests and supported him in his person goals, it helped then function better as a team (and yadda yadda yadda, she makes B'Elanna realize that spending time with Tom sharing his hobbies would help their romantic relationship. Thank you, Seven.🙄). My point is, why is Seven the one to say those lines which would work better with literally any other member of the crew? It could have been such a nice scene between B'Elanna and Tuvok. Or heart to heart between B'Elanna and Chakotay. Any random Hewie, Loius and Dewey of starship Voyager would be better suited to give a relationship advice than Seven of Nine but nope, it always has to be Seven, or the Doctor. There's literally no one else. Seven is the smartest person is the room, no matter the subject.

It's so obvious that in those last 2 seasons, the writers and producers largely have up on doing anything with this show other than what 'worked' and was easier to write, namely Seven and the Doctor episodes.

[ayalatherobot]

This. S7 is absolutely the Seven and Doctor show. S6 has its moments for Chakotay and Harry and the others but overall they gave a lot of what should have been other people’s lines to Seven. Thanks, I hate it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Seven and the Doctor as characters. But I really don’t like how the writers monopolized the stories throughout those with JUST them. The others, especially Chakotay, deserved more.
