harry kim gets janeway a birthday gift. he’s very proud, wraps it in a bow and everything. she opens it in her ready room.

it’s a black t-shirt with bad graphic art of a wolf howling at the moon and it says “throw me to the wolves and I’ll come back leading the pack”. you know, the kind of thing boomer dads that imagine themselves protectors eat up.

she loves it. has to wipe a tear from her eye. it becomes the new pajama shirt. kathryn Janeway working until two in the morning in her quarters in the stupid wolf shirt with a mug that says “quadrant’s best captain” on it.

🎵oh, on the starship Enterprise…🎵

janeway is sick when she cradles people's faces lovingly in her hands, sick i say

Kathryn Janeway done as That Picture of Katharine Hepburn. Maybe this is some more Killing Game stuff where Katrine is a dashing pilot during the interwar period idk

for a while now i've been thinking about rewatching picard and making gifs but honestly the biggest thing holding me back is i don't want to tag the show asffghjjkl

i don't even use the "star trek" tag anymore what if i didn't use the show tag either

my most controversial janeway shipping opinion is that i like basically any ship with her but i like it even more when its unrequited (or requited but unable to be acted upon) on her part. seven especially i think it’s so compelling for her to have all these weird complicated feelings of love and desire and admiration she can’t even begin to make sense of, and god knows madame repression herself kathryn janeway isn’t going to be any help with any of that!

more broadly there’s something so compelling to me about characters like seven, b’elanna, and tom having an unrequited thing for characters like harry and janeway in terms of what that says about the former and their relationships to the so-called starfleet ideal as represented by the latter. you know, something they’re chasing but can’t quite achieve, and what a part of them can’t help but feel like they’re never going to achieve. and yet they adore those two and at the end of the day are ready to follow them to the ends of the universe no matter what reservations they may have. it’s just fun to figure out what a character wants more than anything and then dangle that in from of them in the shape of a person they can’t have ya know

i just think that if seven, b’elanna, and tom were trapped on a desert island together it wouldn’t take long for them to go a bit loopy and start some sort of starfleet/voyager cult based on these feelings
