Voyager's obsession with every female character being a mother either literally or metaphorically is so dire like even SESKA got pregnant. Someone put a planned parenthood in the Delta Quadrant PLEASE. Someone start handing out condoms, this is an EMERGENCY.

#Kes barely got out of there alive #Janeway also got out in CANON but in FANDOM she's liiiike everyone's mom <3 like the ship's mommy <3 Hey. C'MON NOW. #I (in general - not in every case) hate when people say 'well X is like a mom/dad to Y' bc more often than not it's just left at that #as if being a parent is just like an uncomplicated and homogenous thing that lets you not have to think about that relationship #in any more depth #ESPECIALLY with mothers and motherhood which I assume is from the notion that motherhood is 'natural' for women. #Like a fish to water!!! Yaaay yippee!!!! #I find it hard to describe my frustration with this both in fandom and in mainstream media but it deeply deeply frustrates me
