Voyager Texting Headcanons

Janeway: her most used emoji is ☕️. Always texts with perfect spelling and grammar, usually keeps things pretty formal (no abbreviations, no “lol”) though sometimes throws in a “haha”. Also fond of using the 👏 emoji.

Tuvok: Will not hesitate to lecture over text. Refuses to use emojis because “Vulcans do not express emotion”. was once caught texting under the table during a meeting (he was arguing with Neelix over something trivial, obviously).

Neelix: grouptexts everyone the menu for the week, loves the 🍽 emoji, has never used any less than three (!!!) exclamation points to end a sentence!!!!!!!!!! Even when giving serious advice!!! Uses the cat emojis for some reason 😺

B’Elanna: often smiles at her phone while replying to texts, frequent use of the 😡😡😡 emojis when angry. Usually has excellent spelling but makes a lot of typos when rage texting.

EMH: has a texting subroutine, giving him knowledge of all abbreviations and emojis. Double, triple, quadruple texts! A big fan of the 😩emoji.

Seven: dictates her texts rather than typing them out so that she doesn’t have to stop working. Doesn’t understand the appeal of texting but does it anyway because the rest of the crew seems to like it. Studied “texting training” taught by the Doctor (of course), but refuses to use hip texting lingo.

Chakotay: has an old flip phone, takes 3 years to type out a text, isn’t familiar with emojis. Always ends texts with a period. Also studied “texting training” with the Doctor and Seven of Nine under Janeway’s orders but it didn’t help.

Kes: sends vague texts with no explanation and doesn’t reply. read at 7:45

Harry: an extremely fast texter, but sometimes forgets to reply for several days. Most commonly used emojis are 😂 and 🤦‍♂️Sends a bunch of “random thoughts” texts at 3am when he wakes up in the night and can’t sleep.

Tom: constantly sends pictures of things (selfies, random things he finds, his holodeck creations, candids of the crew, etc), often texts the wrong person accidentally, uses every variant of lol, lmao, and LOLOLOLOL. Uses the 😉 smiley frequently.
