For part 5, #8 for K'Rala and her polycule

... Their polycule? The whole polycule??? Ooooh boy, prepare for a whole essay. Be careful what you wish for! I'll only touch on the people K'Rala has a direct line to in my polycule overview and exclude the DS9 branch (because I haven't watched DS9) because this is an OC ask game and not one where I ramble about my thoughts on canon ships.

5. How do they treat the other's insecurities?

If there was a headline to this polycule, it would be "Words of Affirmation". You'll see what I mean.

When K'Rala gets insecure about anything about themselves, be it their heterochromia, how emotional they can get or a mistake they made while working, Data is right there to remind them how illogical that is. He'll either expound every detail of why K'Rala is wrong to put themselves down or accidentally say the most romantic thing in the universe or both. And you best believe that whenever Data laments not being human, K'Rala is there with a 50-page powerpoint on just how human he is and how just because he experiences emotions differently that doesn't mean he doesn't have them. Generally, K'Rala is always there for emotional support for Data, in a huge part because they themselves had to learn to understand emotions and still don't fully do but a huge part of how they got as far is talking about emotions with others - which they are now offering to Data. The two of them can talk about emotions in a way that's extremely logical and extremely romantic at the same time, it's amazing to watch.

Will is a flirt and K'Rala is not used at all to being flirted at, so they melt like ice cream at his words. You best believe he will find a way to make K'Rala forget everything they were complaining about in a matter of minutes. He'll praise them into the stars and give them a kiss on top. K'Rala, in turn, is a grounding force. If things ever get stressful and Will starts getting overwhelmed, K'Rala will hold his hand and share some of their Vulcan emotion suppressing abilities to help him get his brain sorted and figure things out. Anxiety is a bitch, K'Rala knows that and they'll do their best to help Will through whatever he's feeling insecure about, using their telepathy and their words. Sometimes, the two of them will also be found jamming out with their instruments in the holodeck to destress.

Deanna and K'Rala in one room, when they're both happy, is free therapy. They have a deep telepathic bond and are pretty much constantly exchanging good vibes. When one of them is feeling bad, the other can almost always tell and will either send an extra boost of good vibes their way or talk them out of it.

Tasha. Now, Tasha isn't as comfortable being vulnerable and might not always be the best at comforting people, but if there's one thing she knows how to deal with, it's panic attacks - which K'Rala sometimes experiences due to sensory overloads caused by their telepathy and generally heightened senses. Tasha will talk them through it and when they inevitably start complaining about how they're "pathetic" for having them in the first place, she'll tell them they're not, encourage them, and make them feel better. The other way around, if Tasha drifts back to her past, K'Rala will be there to pull her back into reality and ease her guilt and worries. Hand-holding. Lots of hand-holding.

Remember the Klingon therapist post? Yeah, that's Worf. He's super supportive, especially when it comes to K'Rala's sensory issues. He calls it their most honorable battle and whenever K'Rala tries to apologize to him for "making him deal with problems that aren't even his", he calls it his most honorable duty to help them in their struggle. The other way around is a bit tougher because Worf and emotions is a difficult combination but once K'Rala finds out what is going on, they will pull an UNO reverse card on Worf and praise him into the heavens about how great and honorable he is and talk the insecurities out of him. Otherwise, they spar to destress.
