phil-the-stone:Okay so I’ve been thinking a lot about Mama!Uhura and her wee little baby girl with tiny sorta-pointed ears and button nose and half-dark skin and silky dark hair that’s always, always done up in braids because of Nyota’s inherent mad braiding skills, and her enormous brown owl eyes always looking at everything with curiosity and being able to speak like four languages by age six and talking to her Baba in Vulcan and her Mama in Swahili and her Uncle Jim in Standard because even though he understands other stuff, they have the most fun in Standard, and Jim loving her more than he loves his own self because that’s what Jim does, and taking her on adventures down to engineering when he’s not on duty and her always correcting him when he calls he “Mandy” saying “My given name is Amanda, Uncle Jim,” and he grins and says “you ever heard of nicknames, kiddo?” and nicknames are a concept that baby Amanda, at the age of six, finds fascinating, so she brings it up with her father and he explains her uncle’s love of nicknames and so Amanda starts giving everyone nicknames. But in a very polite way, of course, because she was raised to have immpecable manners.I’m crying. -- source link
