Robert Beltran: This Show Sucks I’m Done Pretending To Give A Shit

"Dune Starlight"

A while back jmsaw2 suggested that I add illustrations to some of my fics - that's a fun thought because most of them are extremely vivid in my head (providing ample inspiration) and they offer interesting technical challenges. I'm finally at the point in my learning-how-to-draw journey where I feel I can do a decent job of it, so here's a set for you!

Hopefully they capture your imagination too, even if you haven't read the story!

This set is from The Boomerang Effect, one of my favorite happy places (aside from the show itself)! Check out the story if you are so inclined and share JC's journey of discovery of a strange new world (and each other) 😁 Enjoy! 🖖❤️

What Janeway and Chakotay is up on the holodeck all the time! 🥰😍

This is amazing art & and as always, so cute!

Concerning Flight (of Fancy) 🪂🪽- Epilogue

"Care to go for a spin, Commander?" 😉❤️

A truly wondrous flight (in a holodeck program that looks suspiciously like the Santa Monica Mountains)...

Until they realized neither of them knew how to land this thing... 😆

After a bit of fumbling and tumbling *cough* to get out of their entanglement, Chakotay helped Janeway fix the glider, knowing she would never wish to disappoint her childhood hero.

I hope this brightens your day! ❤️🥰

Thanks to @queenarachniajaneway for bringing up Da Vinci's holoprogram during one of our chats a while back! It inspired the final frame 😁

I also made one with Da Vinci instead of Chakotay 👇🏼, just because 😉:

Enjoy! ❤️ Feel free to use as desktop wallpapers too! 😁

These are so great!!!!! Thank you! 🙏❤️😍

Cartoon Voyager - Phone wallpaper editions!

I'm always on the lookout for new phone wallpapers, so I thought I'd share some of mine! ❤️ I made some for Iphone 6/7/8+, Iphone X/XS, and Android - simply click to enlarge and take as many screen caps as you'd like!

If your phone has a different resolution or if you have a special request, just let me know and I'll get right on it 😁 I'm also always happy to share higher resolution files if you need them!

Iphone 6/7/8+

Iphone X/XS (I think this is roughly the resolution for iphones 11 and up too... Do correct me if I'm wrong though!)

Android

I hope you enjoy! ❤️

I think JC would have not wanted to stay on New Earth for long, because one other person for the rest of their lives is too little, even if they love each other. I mean, would you want to live in isolation for the rest of your life with only one person to talk to? I think at the end of the episode they were sad about their romantic relationship end, but definitely happy to be back again with their friends and potentially see their family members again. I love Resolutions fanfics, but I always find unrealistic when authors describe a long happy life together just the 2 of them for 30+ years... Chances are, even if they love each other, they will be saturated with each other and bored even after just a year (what could they tell each other eventually, if all past stories are told and if all their present life happenings they both are always there?). What are your thoughts?

Memorial - Shoe Polish, Remembrance and True Love 🤭🥰

Janeway exchanges a bit of flirty banter with Chakotay before she starts remembering fighting in a brutal conflict...

...and needs to be sedated. Luckily her loyal first officer is always there to catch her...

Because in the end true love is finding it endearing when your captain drools in her sleep (and of course insisting to carry her to sickbay yourself).

Hehe, I hope this brightens your day! ❤️

"Memorial" is not a particularly JC-heavy episode, but I like the concept of this ep and every time I watch this scene (which I like a lot) THIS is what it goes on in my head 😆

Enjoy! ❤️

I love the complexity of feelings in Resolutions. In my opinion, they were happy to return to the ship, because even if they were stranded with their Love of their Lives, they still need & want other human interactions e.g. with friends and family. (I think being condemned to see only one person for the rest of your life is a torture, even if you love that person). I interpreted their sadness at the end of the episode as being sad that they didn't have enough time to experience and build up their romantic relationship. Do you think it is reasonable to be sad not being stranded with only 1 person for the rest of your life?

"The Thought of You..." 🥹❤️

"Is what kept me going..." ❤️

I hope you enjoy (in a 'damn that's angsty' kind of way)! 😉 🥹🖖

Click to see images in full size as I've conveniently made them desktop wallpaper size 😉🥰

They both welcomed it a lot and couldn't stop for the next 10 minutes 🤭😊🥰

Caught him on the fly to plant an unexpected (but oh-so-welcome) one on him! 😆🥰❤️

Hope this brightens your day! ❤️

Endgame actual ending (in my head, that is! 😋😆🥰)...

... in which Chakotay obviously got distracted on the way to the helm 😆🥰

I couldn’t decide which version to post, so why not share both? 😉 They’re very similar but the slight variation in the hand-touching conveys different emotions between them, which I like a lot! 

(From a technical point of view, I have to say I’m rather pleased with the way the helm console and earth and moon came out! A lot of different challenges in this one! Always learning! Feel free to click to enlarge, the details seem a little blurry in the "thumbnail" view! )

Hope you enjoy! ❤️

Asylum - "Wardrobe malfunction" ❤️

Still getting used to his new uniform (and Janeway's promotion) Chakotay mistakingly wore his combadge on the other side... 😆

❤️ 🥰😆

This one's even sillier than usual, but I think we can all use a bit of that this week! *hugs* If it made you smile even a little (even an internal smile) this will have served its purpose! 😘
