Tuvok & T’Pel at their Koon-ut-la: May peace and bliss follow them forever.

Based on this picture I found:

Love how T’Pau is sitting down for this. Tuvok & T’Pel’s ceremony was presided over by a local but well-respected priestess because not everyone has the sway to get a stateswoman. Also, I count this more as an approximation of engagement than marriage since they’re established to have a whole marriage-or-challenge thing as adults later on. After the ceremony Tuvok and T’Pel were each given a seed and instructed to plant them side by side in the temple’s garden. When they returned to the temple for their marriage proper whatever they’d planted there that day would be in full bloom. After that they played- uh...I mean...bonded with one another until their parents had to drag them away kicking and screaming. A fact which neither pair of parental units will ever let them quite forget much to their joint embarrassment.

#I didn't color this but please imagine that they're not wearing white because I hate alien weddings being so close to human ones #Tuvok can't believe this girl is holding his arm!!! and she's gonna be his wife one day??? her hair is so pretty...#T'Pel is like Where Is Cake....Want To Play....#also these don't look like seven year olds I'm making them like ten #Tuvok/T'Pel #Tuvok/T'Pel art #Tuvok art #T'Pel art #st voyager #st voyager art #I love picking bits and pieces of Vulcan culture especially around marriage and pon farr etc #like noo this is too gendered...no this is stupid.....yes sets my heart aflame....#and other things I make up wholesale #bea art tag

IDs: two digital drawings of Tuvok and T’pel from Star Trek Voyager. The first is of T’pel touching Tuvok’s face with a calm, gentle expression. Tuvok has his eyes closed and has his hand resting on her face as well. There are blue sparks at their temples which are connected by a bolt of lightning. The second picture is of their hands with the fingertips of their index and middle fingers touching in the vulcan kiss. There is another spark on their fingertips with more lightning coming off it. ED.

My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts.

I just really want a Voyager episode where Lwaxana Troi shows up - maybe Q poofs her over. Maybe the temporal investigations dude is her new beau, maybe her consciousness gets sent through a subspace anomaly and shes a hologram for a while. w/e. I am just dying for this to have happened at some point.

She would flirt with EVERYONE

She would take Seven under her wing and tell her one cannot learn the deep arts of romance and sexuality from a photonic being who is still learning his own

She would sense all the complicated tension between Janeway and Chakotay and she would delight in investigating it and delving into it and poking at it.

Harry'd probably fall in love with her.

She'd probably try to fix all Neelix's cooking bc leola root offends the fifth house or something.

Definitely borrows Janeway's bathtub and then stroll around her quarters starkers while Kathryn tried really really hard to read some department briefings.

She would sit in Janeway's chair and definitely comment on how theres been like some kinda a secret command console on the other side of KJ this whole time masquerading as an armrest and she and Chakotay just share the middle one for an excuse to bump hands with eachother

Tuvok and she would just thoroughly and shockingly enjoy each other's company. bc they both old compared to all these spry young humans and they have definitey encountered eachother before like these two have gossip to swap. And they've both loved and lost love and she thinks his devotion to his wife is the damn sweetest thing and offers to go visit T'Pel for him or something

Just imagine this is after Voyager gets video calling with the AQ and Lwaxana cant help herself barging into some meeting that Barclay and Deanna are at and shocking her daughter all the way from the Delta Quadrant

Aight. I’ll ask the obvious. Kathryn Janeway. And the bonus character is... Tuvok.

Kathryn Janeway (also requested by @rikerssexblouse)

----------

How I feel about Kathryn:

My queen, I pledge thee my undying devotion and beg your forgiveness for indulging in a multitude of sordid sexual fantasies about you and then writing about them in detail.

All the people I ship romantically with Kathryn:

How long have you got? My motto is "Janeway x anyone who can get her off", so basically everyone, but I'll focus on my main ships. Buckle in, this could be lengthy.

1. Chakotay. Obvious. Married. Dessert. J/C comprises 84% of my fics. Enough said.

2. Tom Paris. It's just a little bit wrong and that's what makes it so right. They definitely fucked at some point, and I don't mean in salamander form.

3. Kashyk. Because sometimes a girl fancies a snake-hipped, leather-clad xenophobe with a fetish for dominating her.

4. B'Elanna Torres. If you're going to science the science, science it with a scientist who sciences scientifically. Also, warp cores are hot.

5. Mark Johnson. Oh, Mark. The steady, kindhearted nerd who loves her beyond reason. It could've been so beautiful.

6. Ayala. He's Chakotay without the complications, and he doesn't talk. What's not to like?

7. Justin Tighe. First love always cuts deepest, right? And what a noble, tragic figure this man is. This relationship just begs for exploration, and yes, I plan to.

8. Seven of Nine. It took me awhile to come around to this pairing, but I'm convinced. I don't see them having a lasting romantic relationship, but a fling with feels? Yes ma'am.

9. Owen Paris. Obscene, dirty, filthy, immoral. You rang?

10. Honourable mention goes to a tie between Gabriel Lorca (either version) and Christopher Pike, because you know our lady of the temporal headache would have tapped that given the chance.

Because one is never enough, let's talk about my favourite OT3s for Kathryn.

11a. Janeway x Chakotay x Paris. Oh, the uneasy sexual dynamics here. The mix of love/lust/jealousy/antipathy/competitiveness - who's the top? do they all switch? why aren't there more J/C/P fics?

11b. Janeway x Chakotay x Seven. Hell yes, I need more of this too. Are J/C teaming up to initiate 7 in the arts of the bedchamber? Is J a semi-willing intruder into the C/7 marriage bed? Have J/7 invited C to watch them and perchance to join in? I want all these scenarios and more.

My BroTP for Kathryn:

Tuvok, no contest. I love them. But B'Elanna comes in a close second.

My unpopular opinion about Kathryn:

She can't resist temptation... until she meets Chakotay. By which I mean Alpha quadrant Kathryn liked to fuck around because sex is fun and she's all about exploring, and I have various headcanons on how cool Mark was (or wasn't) with this. Delta quadrant Kathryn, though, can't risk it, at least not with Chakotay, because feelings are dangerous and also she doesn't think she deserves fun anymore. I could seriously go on about this for hours but it would probably turn into a treatise on how going from a varied and enthusiastic sex life to complete celibacy messes with her mind so much she almost loses it or possibly how she ties pain and self-denial and submission and control up in a lovely guilt cocktail but I'm pretty sure I've already done that a whole lot so I'll spare you.

One thing I wish had happened with Kathryn in canon:

A J/C KISS. Fuck's sake. I wouldn't even care if it turned out to be a temporal anomaly or an alternate universe or memory loss or alien possession or whateverthefuck. JUST LET THEM KISS.

---------

Tuvok

How I feel about Tuvok:

Ah yes, the salty grandpa with a soft heart for his captaindaughterbuddy and eyebrows that express the emotions he claims not to have. I love him and his stoicism and his sarcasm and his bluntness.

All the people I ship romantically with Tuvok:

T'Pel. That's it. They're perfection. Don't fuck with it.

My BroTP for Tuvok:

See above re: Janeway & Tuvok.

My unpopular opinion about Tuvok:

I think he secretly enjoyed Neelix's buffoonery. To a point, anyway. When he wasn't mind melding with serial killers and simulating various creative ways to murder the kitchen rat.

One thing I wish had happened with Tuvok in canon:

Can I switch this to one thing I wish hadn't happened? Because Kes kissing him should never have happened. I know she was possessed, but that was a thing I never needed to see.

----

Thanks, @tri42! I’ll get to more of these later.

Totally Disco.

Episode 2: Battle at the Binary Stars

I managed to wait almost an entire day before starting this episode. I think the reflection is helping, or maybe I'm just being a reasonable adult (ridiculous thought)...or I was sleeping.

My digression for today is on the nature of bingeable tv-entertainment and streaming services.

It's my understanding that Discovery was released like ye olde television shows of yore, one episode per week. But it isn't structured (or the two episodes I have seen lead me to believe it isn't structured) like ye olde Star Trek series.

Simply put, the Star Trek of my youth (first run TNG not TOS, I'm old...just not quite that old) was episodic rather than serial. Sometimes you would get a two or three-part episode in the middle of the season... is anyone else here old enough to remember sweeps week?...or the classic end of season cliffhanger so you'd be sure to tune in again after summer re-runs. But you generally expected that every episode was its own story. Character development was sprinkled in amongst the plot weeds like wildflowers in a meadow, to be picked and added to the show's ever brightening bouquet as you meandered along. Kids nowadays, boy howdy, with their loud music and dramatic lens flares and streaming whole seasons released at once. It's madness...or just a different kind of storytelling.

It does feel a bit awkward though, when a series takes the serial approach but releases episodically. I felt the same way about watching The Expanse. The story was made for binging and it was actually painful not to be able to do that. I mean I was literally feeling stressed about situations characters were in for weeks at a time and foreknowledge from reading the books made it worse. (I knew what happened to the Agatha King, you bastards. And I just knew you were going to make her watch. Assholes. Deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale - AND I know all about your 'sack of broken glass' imagery. Which she will act the hell out of and be amazing, but you absolute fuckers. Gah! I just - I get so - *snort* - I need to go wash something.)

So...I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about Discovery going that route. Especially because...

Spoilers.

This episode was basically a giant bummer. The worst possible thing to happen on the show has happened. Asshole Klingon guy, (whose name was not Tuvok, the only thing my unhelpful brain is supplying despite it being repeated at least twenty times this episode, a sure sign he was going to bite it) T'Something-or-other, stabbed me in the heart - err stabbed Capt. Georgiou in the heart and killed my desire to watch this show.

T'Somebody gets to be a martyr, just what every Klingon wants and gets his war, which he specifically wanted. Future Michael gets failure and misery while present Michael gets all that plus jail time! Confused? I often am. (Episode 1 might help.) Let's not forget that T'Murderingbastard has deep seated childhood issues too. Do I sense a theme for our show? All the other Klingon kids beat him up. Probably because he has a Vulcan girl's name. Think about it. T'Pring. T'Lar. T'Pel. T'Pol. T'Whichever way you look at it he's dead and so are my dreams after what felt like the shortest fight scene in history.

I get it, Disco creators. You have a limited amount of time to tell your story and you felt Michael's response to Georgiou's death was the important thing to highlight here not the death itself ... Wait a minute, oooh you almost had me there with your episodic releases. This isn't broadcast tv. You don't have an hour long time slot your episodes have to fit. You could linger on Michael's pain AND give us a decent fight scene. Shame on you.

Now, wasn't the whole point of beaming into danger to capture, rather than kill this guy? Do phasers not have a stun setting yet? I am a bit vague on what the canon is at this point, but I’m going with revenge killing on Michael’s part. Girl’s got anger issues...like movie Spock has anger issues...Sarek we need to have a chat about you teaching kids to repress emotion. Don't worry though, T'Kahless-wannabe, Pippin is still there to carry a torch for you.

Other thoughts: → 1. The little nods to TOS that make an appearance are nice. I particularly like the view screen "ding-boing" noise that's played occasionally on the bridge and the captain's chair aboard the Shenzhou. It's a blingy, metallic version of Kirk's! ❤️ → 2. There are a bunch of names in the opening credits and it feels like we've only really met five fleshed out characters, two of whom are already dead. I think I need to keep a running list:

Georgiou, Burnham, Saru, T'What's-his-face, Pippin

Are the writers working on an add three subtract two sort of pattern? How many episodes in will we be when we finally have enough regulars to crew the bridge? → 3. This show is going to be really boring if it's just Michael in jail for the rest of her life. Lol! That's ridiculous. It would be great. Blue With Gold Stripes Is The New Black. Can we have Kate Mulgrew too? → 4. Lateral transporters. The look of the giant satellite dishes behind everyone on the transporter of the Shenzhou is fabulously retro. lt's well...disco. And not a moment after I thought that, the writers put a lampshade on it. They are being phased out. Newer ships don't have them. They require enormous amounts of power. The Shenzhou is then abandoned so there's no reason for us to see them again. Therefore...THEY ARE IMPORTANT. My plot sense is tingling. → 4.5. I mean, aside from holodecks, there's nothing more guaranteed to maim, kill, or send you into an alternate universe than a transporter. (Maybe spores? Lateral transporters + spores = the worst vacation ever?) → 4.75. Can...can we go there right now? The one where Michelle gets to show off a bit more martial arts prowess presumably, and her character is, you know, not killed off in Episode 2?

Excerpts from phweeb’s Vulcan Medical Thing

Source: http://phweeb.tumblr.com/post/73834763365/updated-vulcan-medical-thing

Chose the bits I like the best and added some commentary with my own headcanon-y input.

Vulcans

Males are seen as illogical, unstable (especially unbonded males)

A few things factor into this. Vulcan is a matriarchal society, where women have been in charge and making decisions for literally thousands of years (if not longer). Males are subject to pon farr, but the majority of females do not experience it until they are bonded to someone who does experience it.

Each clan is run by a matriarch or clan elder (maat tela'at). Vulcan is a matriarchal society, so these elders are always female. The maat tela'at is responsible for overseeing betrothal, bonding, and movements of her clan. She sits on the High Council of each province, and help to make up the ruling interplanetary government. The majority of these positions are based on a democratic, 'meritocratic’ system whereby those with the skill for the job are the only ones requested for the job. Only a few matriarchs span over each province, and very rarely in the same city.

The majority of Vulcan is separated along clan lines, a throwback from pre-Reform era days where Vulcans fought over land and water rights. For instance, most of Shi'kahr city is under Surak clan rule, the majority aligned with or of the clan itself.

At least in the way I see it, most members of a clan live geographically near one another, and most members of a certain House even closer, and so on. Even in the age of ultra-fast travel, it makes it much easier for family to be a part of each other’s lives and provide for each other.

I do disagree that Shi’Kahr is primarily one clan or house - I think the largest cites would be more of a “melting pot” of everyone. Since Shi’Kahr is the capitol city, that means government offices, embassies, even the center of foreign trade, may all be located there. The staff of those places will live near their workplaces, and because those positions are filled by anyone from any clan, the residents of the city will be just as varied.

We know that Vulcan is generally a meritocracy in cases other than ruling the clans (which is passed down through direct family members), so the governance of these larger metropolitan areas is likely based on that.

Most body language is similar to humans, with some exceptions:

Jerking head to the left sharply - No. Absolute negative. Vulcans don’t really 'nod’ or shake their heads as in confusion but they will indicate 'no’ that way. Moving the head to the left - huh! Err? Hmm. Usually accompanied with raised eyebrows. Blink-forward - Yes. Understood, acknowledged. All right. Okay. Like blinking 'at’ someone. Hands in wrist behind back - very formal/polite. Military 'at attention’ stance. Arms folded over one another behind back - common acceptable resting position. Hands on hips - confrontational. Ta'al - greeting, like one 'shin’ with the dominant hand. El'ru'esta - All five fingertips touch. Like Spock and Sybok in Star Trek V before Sybok jumps in the bluelights. Familial embrace. Like a telepathic hug. Ozh'esta - two fingers touch. Like Sarek and Amanda in Journey to Babel or Tuvok and T'Pel in Body and Soul. Like a telepathic kiss. Touching wrist with open flat of dominant hand - similar to clapping. Open hands - Whatever! Extremely rude. Crossed arms - skeptical. Uh huh. Yeah right. Trololo.

Blink-forward: Romulans do it too!

The 'meld points’ or 'psi-points’ (qui'lara) of a Vulcan are concentrated in many different areas, notably the hands (Vulcans are known for lack of 'shaking hands’ or eating with their fingers, considered extremely rude in Vulcan culture), the occipital bone, the spine, the neck, the temples, et al.

-Vulcans are touch telepaths. Vulcans who work in medical settings or areas where they have to touch people wear specialized tho'san gloves to prevent them from picking up on people. -Out of control Vulcans get the tho'san bracelets AKA psi-clamps.

-There is an old Vulcan proverb: Don’t strike first, but be prepared to strike last. Vulcans are technical pacifists- violence would never be a first resort. But they will defend what is theirs, with their life if necessary. Most of the time it does not come to that, Vulcans are trained from an early age about non-lethal martial arts.

Romulans

-Like Vulcans, Romulans are not gestury/handsy people, they don’t eat food with their hands, etc. This isn’t really because of psionics, more a race-memory holdover. There are quilara in Romulan hands, which are kind of like reflexes, the energy 'exists’ but doesn’t really do anything except fuzz around.

-If a Romulan were raised on Vulcan, they would probably be capable of some telepathy, if they were given the proper training. The Romulan brain is fully capable of being telepathic, but their race-memory is of 2000 years without much need for telepathic training.

-Romulans consider telepathy to be weak. They feel they can achieve the same results with a mind sifter in a far more efficient way. Opening one’s mind to the sensations and emotions of another is, in their view, a way to let yourself be influenced and potentially destroyed by your enemies. Romulans do not trust any telepath.
