Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932 - )

“Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.” — NICHELLE NICHOLS

e 'n su la punta de la rotta lacca l'infamïa di Creti era distesa che fu concetta ne la falsa vacca; e quando vide noi, sé stesso morse, sì come quei cui l'ira dentro fiacca. - Dante Alighieri, Inferno, 12.11-15

more scribbles of Kathryn Janeway trapped in an Angevin holodeck simulation when I should be writing fic but instead I am yearning for a broken monarch crumpling beneath the weight of her own decisions and eroded nobility

i think y'all are missing a trick with Kathryn Janeway and Eleanor of Aquitaine given the Katharine Hepburn/Kate Mulgrew crossovers, but the request was for Janeway with a fuckoff big sword as an Angevin so here we go -- she got stuck in a holodeck program with the rest of the crew and she likes swinging a sword maybe a little too much 🤏

star trek is better than star wars for one reason and that is because the situations it puts its characters in literally cannot be beaten. watch any five classic episodes like it truly makes sense why trek is the cradle of modern fandom. all roads lead to mishnory ass show
