Prev anon here (feel free to remove or edit this if you don't want to share, but just thought I'd mention in case you were curious), the last response was really interesting and thought provoking. I've sent a few questions and found you often come at questions with an angle I wouldn't expect, which is fun (and something I've noticed with your writing as well). Anyway, thanks for giving it the thought you do :)
Now to ask another, shamelessly stolen from the Truth or Dare going around: share a head canon from one of your favourite ships or pairings.
Awww, thank you, anon! ❤️ I appreciate your questions and am deeply honored that you like my takes, even if they’re unexpected. 🙈💕
For headcanons, I’m kind of a pain about those because I usually have multiple, conflicting headcanons about any character or pairing. (Do Chris and Una have a romantic past the way the actors have described? Sure. Do they have no romantic past but want a romantic present or future? Yup. Is their romantic past or lack of a romantic past absolutely key or totally immaterial to their romantic present or future? You betcha, all of the above. How can these mutually exclusive headcanons co-exist? Because I love the multiverse.)
But in terms of consistent headcanons:
Kathryn Janeway and Tom Paris understand each other on a cellular level of “Admiral Daddy, look at me! Look at me, Admiral Daddy!”
Una Chin-Riley is fully aware of the blushy, pleased-from-the-bottoms-of-his-toes-to-the-tippy-top-of-his-pompadour effect that praise has on Christopher Pike and that’s why she so often busts his chops … because praising him can lead to, um, complicated feelings.
Seven of Nine runs her partners’ names through Borg nomenclature and it’s totally not a zodiac thing so don’t judge her if you’re not into that — even though decoding the alphanumeric characters suggests the most probable outcome every time.
Deanna Troi does a Jean-Luc Picard imitation so good that it has made Will Riker fall out of bed laughing.
Oops, you said to share a headcanon from just one ship.

lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.
Virtually every survivor of trauma, whether or not they experience diagnosable post-traumatic stress, returns to the regular world and quickly recognizes that things are not as they were. People behave differently. There is an element of strangeness, a sense, often uncommunicated, of being marked by a kind of scarlet letter, even if one has not violated any moral code. In fact, in these situations, one’s degree of innocence or complicity in events can seem almost beside the point, as if one’s luck or simple fate is what is at stake. Often this change of perception is expressed in physical, spatial terms, as if the scope of what has transpired is so vast that it serves to alter one’s material position in the world.
Tbh I'm not sure I really see why Paul would be waiting for Yoko's passing to say whatever he wants to when she's the one who outed John as queer and attracted to him in the first place and Paul has always brushed it off. If anything I feel like, if he is holding onto something he either knows or was involved with, his reasons for denying it would be entirely his own personal comfort, which would be very reasonable given how painful and vicious and under constant public scrutiny everything got between them. I just hope that if some confirmation ever does come out that it's on his terms and not done behind his back or something he's cornered into addressing, or worse, after he's no longer with us and can't address it for himself or push back at sensationalism and misinformation. Poor guy's been through enough, right?
Hi!! @myplasticadversary i'm sorry for the late reply, i was too lazy to do it before lmao
Thanks for your ask i love getting new point of views in the topic because it really helps me to ask myself if i'm reaching or something :D
I can't really assure that's the thing Paul would like to talk about after Yoko's passing, maybe he's refering to something completely different, can't really know. But if it is, the reason for why i think it would make sense is not because i think that Paul is worried of outing John as queer, but because he doesn't want to bother Yoko. Even if Paul says the slightest thing that could confirm that John had that type of interest for him, or that maaaaaybe they had something going on, it would probably overshadow John and Yoko's relationship and story, which even if Paul wasn't #1 fan of them as a couple, i can see why he wouldn't like to make her go throught that.
Besides media would probably try to reach out to have her say something about it, sensationalist news and articles would be shoved to her face, even if he doesn't mention her at all she will be involved.
i also wish whatever comes out does from Paul's mouth, or at least with Paul's consentment, like you said he had to tolerate media bullshit for way too long.
Paul confirms the theory that Hey Jude is not entirely written about Julian on the recent episode of a Life in Lyrics.
Paul: So then I start moving, "you were made to go out and get her." So now he's sad about, a break up, or something. "And any time you feel the pain-" so now it's mixed. It could be about Julian, or it could be this new woman-relationship.
