You are AMAZING! As a fellow nerdy black girl, your thoughts on Spock/Uhura echo mine exactly. When that elevator scene happened, my heart stopped. You've beautifully spelled out why as a pairing they are so meaningful, and how elevated and worthy her character is as opposed to so many other representations of black women. THANK YOU!
Thank you! And you're welcome, haha. Ugh Spock/Uhura kindred spirits <3333333
I love her so much, and her relationship with Spock was such an amazing, gorgeous, tender surprise, and I guess... I know so many people in and out of fandom whose response to S/U was a kind of neutral "...huh" before they picked a side, and I just wanted to put a different first reaction out there. I COULD NOT BELIEVE what I was seeing when they kissed. I will never be over it, haha.
