headcanon time

Okay, so @supernovacoffee and I were discussing Janeway’s super corny one-liners, like “Out-Ferengi the Ferengi” or “Who’s hunting the hunters?” and we kinda agreed on a new headcanon:

Janeway makes these really bad puns, thinking they are so funny/badass/clever in an attempt to get closer to the crew. But they are just so bad, and no one dares to tell her (which @supernovacoffee pointed out is super sad.) Until some day, Chuckles loses it and starts laughing (he’s allowed to, they are finally banging), “Really Kathryn?” and says one back to her and she realizes that last one was really cringeworthy.

But the crew loves her for the bad “Dad joke” vibey puns, because their space mom is just a giant space dork and they would totally miss her crooked sense of humour (and they do when she stops with the puns for a while because she’s embarrassed. But with crew morale low someone finally musters the courage to make a really bad pun when she’s there, so she picks her habit back up.)

And sometimes she makes these science puns that no one really gets (except for Tuvok, who doesn’t find them funny at all, and Harry, but he’s usually to busy blushing), and sometimes B’Elanna overhears one and tries really hard not to giggle. But when their eyes meet they grin like idiots and those are just really sweet girl bonding moments.

And sometimes Kathryn will search the room after she made another bad pun just to see if B’Elanna is there and heard it. And if B’E isn’t there, she’ll make a mental note to tell the joke again when B’E is coincidentally present…

this is all perfection, the only thing I thought to add is imagine her inside being like:

I had to reblog again because I love the tags.

“If I ever encounter your kind again, I will do whatever is necessary to protect my people from this harvesting of yours. Any aggressive actions against this ship and its crew will be met by the deadliest force. Is that clear?”
