#my bestie i am sooo sorry you are happily retired from starfleet and teach history in my head

the thing is that i STILL haven't finished s2 of prodigy, and i think at this point it is not even about j/c. i just can't wrap my head around the abysmal amount of time chakotay had to spend in isolation (apart from holo janeway). the first time i heard about it, i thought that i got something wrong, but 10 years? really? even longer than the time he spent in delta quadrant? all i wanted for my guy was to see him settling down + the exploration of his trauma that was already there (as i happen to relate to it greatly being a two-time refugee who lost their home/struggling with identity issues), not them adding another one on top without actually doing anything about it???
