#Autism guy - Panic guy#I will probably draw more of this bc this scene means everything to me#Tuvok#st voyager#st voyager art#Tuvok being upset to the point he almost throws up....has to do self soothing rituals to calm down.......pressure stimming#In my mind Tuvok eventually rationalizes that obeying his parents and going to Starfleet is essentially penance for his teenage years#So while he doesn't like it and is sort of miserable more often than not he tries not to complain (much)#Tuvok art#//self harm#It's so funny how Tuvok's parents are characterized in the novels they appear in#Like - in this one they apparently applied to Starfleet academy FOR him??? HEHEHE..HOW???#Did they forge a college essay??? Like what are you guys DOING??HEHEHE#can you imagine if you're like 'I can't wait to become a priest' and your parents say 'You're going to Yale. You're already accepted.'#T'Meni and Sunak are PRIMED for a college admissions scandal#bea art tag#autistic Tuvok#Picturing Tuvok who struggles with science and has no real interest in it but is still a science officer (misery hours)#This isn't how I characterize his mother acting...so in your mind please switch 'mother' to 'father' - then this scene is canon to me#<- Bc in the show he specifically says it's his father who disowned him and sent him to a Vulcan temple which seems more in line with this#Duality of a guy who is obviously struggling but also incredibly difficult to get along with + doesn't really /want/ to get along withanyone#Younger Tuvok is a bit more stubborn....brasher...gritting his teeth and trying his best to show his parents that he's a good son#but that ends up making his cadet/ensign years more like an endurance test than anything he can actually find enjoyable#THOUGH I do think his ensign years ARE more enjoyable than his cadet years...just you know. /More/ enjoyable doesn't mean enjoyable.#<- He likes actually being in action more than sitting around on campus studying science. This is where his interest in security comes in#He actually has people he considers friends in his ensign years~!!#me while drawing these and writing this out: IamcringebutIamfreeIamcringebutIamfreekillwhatcringeskillwhatcringes#uughhhimstill not very satisfied with thiss.....but! say la v.#I love Tuvok...old man's lived a lot of life hHEHE#I headcanon he's on good terms with his parents now but it was rocky as hell for a while there
