love reading an older fic (10-20 years+) because you get these hilarious author’s notes but ALSO because you get the occasional “shout out to Jessica….without you telling me to write this fic it wouldn’t exist” and then the author proceeds to write the best 100k fic you’ve ever read and the whole time you’re thinking to yourself, where is Jessica these days? does she know she sparked this amazing fic? shout out to Jessica hope you’re doing well girl

i’m looking at the way data interacts with children and i think he’s completely meant to be a parent, or a parent figure. this isn’t a claim i have made about literally any character ever, but i feel like it’s true for him. he’s just so kind, and so willing to connect and explain and protect. he doesn’t take offense to children acting childishly, nor does he restrict them because they’re “only children”. he’s patient, but not condescending. he won’t dumb anything down, but he’ll elaborate as much as they need as long as they ask. he makes genuine effort to understand their perspectives and thoughts, and treats children as actual, sentient, intelligent beings. he’s willing to have actual engaging conversations with them. he’s never dismissive, and you can tell he’s genuinely interested in what kids have to say. however, he’s not overly lenient. he’s willing to admit his faults, but he will make a kid take accountability for their own actions. he’ll establish rules and boundaries, teach important life lessons, provide guidance and mentorship - in fewer words, he is literally the best father figure a kid could ask for.

Fun fact, Uhura wasn't a linguist in TOS, she was the communications switchboard operator. The languages thing came about in the series bible for the unmade Phase II TV series (the pilot of which eventually became The Motion Picture), in order to give Nichelle/Uhura more to do. It subsequently became a staple of the novels and part of the character in the 2009 reboot and now in Strange New Worlds. IIRC, Nichelle wasn't happy in STVI that her character didn't know Klingon (something Into Darkness explictly fixed)

Growing up reading old novels (which took on the Phase II concepts as gospel), I had no idea Uhura didn't start off as a linguist until certain fans cried foul in '09.

daforge is so beyond platonic beyond romantic beyond sexual. here you have a man made of metal and wires who is always seeking to understand organic life and hopefully, one day, be understood. here you have a human who relies on technology to experience the world in his own unique way, who is socially awkward and forms his deepest connections with computers and holograms. this human is the only one on the ship who can come close to understanding data. the only one who can fix him when he malfunctions. who literally knows him inside and out. and data is the only one who can give geordi his ideal relationship. the best parts of a human companion and a machine, who doesn't pass judgement on geordi for anything. i'm gonna throw up
