#I truly do believe that a lot of ppl view Neelix as more annoying than he actually is bc the other characters on voyager usually treat him

Tuvok and Neelix are both just guys who can’t read a room for the life of them and respond to that in two completely opposing ways.
#Tuvok doesn't really try to get into social situations bc he doesn't really thrive within them and thus doesn't seek them out
#meanwhile Neelix gets into every social situation he can bc he IS going to be your friend and that's the way he's learned how to endear
#himself to others - just being around always and talking frequently
#and they clash frequently because of that
#I think they could have become much better friends in canon...
#a friendship with a lot of learning and misunderstandings
#bc while Neelix can be annoying Tuvok can also be needlessly standoffish/mean
#and that COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD ARC!!! Of them learning how to talk to each other and coming to appreciate one another for the people
#they are over time!!
#I truly do believe that a lot of ppl view Neelix as more annoying than he actually is bc the other characters on voyager usually treat him
#as being annoying when he's being exuberant or eager or w/e
#Neelix would be eager to learn about Tuvok! and Vulcans! He's never seen a Vulcan before - he doesn't know about their culture or anything
#like that! Episode where Neelix tries to learn more about that stuff but Tuvok is being
#condescending and easily annoyed while teaching him and they get into a fight about it like: I'm TRYING to learn but it's like you've
#already given up on me! And Tuvok apologizes after a bit and they talk about his experiences in the academy and with humans generally - how
#he's learned to expect disrespect and self-centeredness when it comes to Vulcan and himself
#and Neelix says he's sorry that happened but he truly didn't mean to be disrespectful - he'd never want that! He's never
#encountered a Vulcan before - the culture is so different from Talaxia's..he doesn't know what to do and what not to! And Tuvok says he'd
#like the opportunity to try and teach him more again. If that would be acceptable?
#Neelix: -making his face all serious- More than acceptable. -smiles- Was that good?
#Tuvok: We will work on it. / Neelix: Was that a JOKE~?
#Neelix also ends up telling Tuvok more about talaxia and his family and stuff and they bond over the fact that they've
#both lost like...their entire family.
#I want Tuvok to have more tender/emotional moments with Neelix bc Neelix is the most emotional person he knows.
#I have a lot of thoughts on the squandered Tuvok&Neelix friendship
#which also translate to the Tuvok/Neelix ship but not necessarily.
#Neelix is like - if we're giving out forgiveness for being rude about Vulcans he's THE guy bc he's literally NEVER met one unlike humans
#and I love Tuvok bc he's the most Vulcan Vulcan...he's just //A// Vulcan he's just some guy.
