Fun Fact
When “GIF” was named word of the year in 2012, Oxford Dictionaries U.S.A. credited Tumblr for pushing the word.

[TUVOKTOBER: Day 6] Based on this line of dialogue:
#I will forever be like 'what did you mean by that??' jennifer lawrence clip about Tuvok saying he 'spoke out against it'
#He isn't??? A politician?? And never was???
#Is his family one which holds a certain amount of sway??
#I need to know if he 'spoke out' in an official capacity - like a way that mattered to the world at large or if he was just talking shit
#I tend to assume mostly the latter - maybe talking shit to specific people but still. It reminds me of how in Gravity he says
#HE chose to leave Jara and school when in reality he was kicked out and banished - adjusting the facts
#anyway one of the things I sincerely love about Tuvok is that he would be like one of many petty Vulcan antagonists* in another series
#especially when he was younger but it's not like he's THAT much better in canon
#Ex: Though Tuvok agrees & praises the peace treaty he still seems to view B'Elanna unfavorably bc she's Klingon
#<- Like what Neelix says 'That's just it!! You don't feel anything FOR me but you feel things AGAINST me' that's him a nutshell
#<- Another example is how he treats Chakotay in the earlier seasons: Deliberately undermining him and questioning his authority
#He can be very sanctimonious both about him personally and facets of himself without much tolerance for others or deviation
#It's a legit character flaw and I do love highlighting it bc I love him even when I want to choke him to death he's fascinating <3
#It's also VERY interesting bc he WAS more of a rebel punk as a teen then he went to the monastery and now he is shown to be very
#devoted to Vulcan ways and have a keen interest in monastic life.
#I know Vulcan philosophy is NOTHING like christianity or catholicism but like forget that for a second. Ok. Now: 'Tuvok's born again swag?
#off the charts' v_v thank you

#*And this never changes. Unlike Spock or T'Pol he never has moments (that I can recall) where the narrative's like 'GOTCHA!'
#& he's never insecure about his identity as Vulcan. Never desires to feel or be more human. & I /do/ think this is bc he's older! We see
#himas an ensign in 'Flashback' struggling with his identity as its pitted against humanity AND in 'Gravity' where he's shown to have disdai
#for Vulcan culture & customs. It really makes me wish we had gotten more character-building episodes from him rather than character-breakin
#ones where he's not really acting as himself in full. v_v
#also one last thing: I recognize that other characters do try2 'GOTCHA!' Tuvok both seriously and lightheartedly but Tuvok is never framed
#as being actually affected by this unlike Spock or T'Pol where it's a whole like Thing about their characters (humanity - feeling)
