I need every non-Human Star Trek character to start talking about their countries and hometowns NOW!! Tuvok definitely roots for his local sports team internally even though they suck and are horrible. He's gonna watch the game and he's gonna be frustrated with their performance every time.

Vulcans posting shit like this ☝️is commonplace in my mind

#I've seen people call Neelix calling Tuvok 'Mr Vulcan' like...offensive to Tuvok???#Or go 'does he not know that's not his name?? omg' like Yeah. He knows. v_v it's a nickname.#But back to the topic at hand - I view Neelix calling him 'Mr Vulcan' as akin to being called 'Mr Human' or 'Miss Bolian'#not offensive and never (that I've seen) framed as such?? (Think of Spock telling Bones off for calling him a green blooded computer etc -#that definitely IS framed as being aggressive and offensive to him)#I love Neelix but also there's definitely canon reasons to dislike him - you don't need to make any up #Star Trek is very..?? homogenous when it comes to aliens #Like aliens aren't FROM anywhere except their home planet (as opposed to Humans)#But I do believe that Vulcan and other planets have different regions and cultures #Both bc it'd be wild if they didn't and also bc we hear Vulcans with accents in TOS and with different skin tones in other series #The only Star Trek Planet I'd believe doesn't have that sort of thing is like...Bynar #comix page #Tuvok #and a well meaning security ensign #I know Tuvok to be a guy who's very proud of either where he was born or where he lives #not just 'Vulcan' but also his specific town #Elieth: This is a boring town where nothing happens I despise it here.#Tuvok: Boring? I see. Have you never visited the yun'ah temple?#Elieth: Father... / Asil: Please don't tell us about the temple again.#Tuvok: -driving them- The Yun'ah temple is one of the most sacred-#Tuvok isn't from ShiKahr - that's Spock's thing #I don't imagine Tuvok being a fan of sports in general but he IS root root rooting for the home team #I do have headcanons about the main three vulcan's hometowns #(mostly Tuvok and Spock - I haven't seen enough of T'Pol)#<- But I /have/ seen her house
