Fans celebrate the casting of Nichelle Nichols as Uhura as a moment for actors of color, which they should be.

But I also wanted to spotlight the casting of these iconic guest starring characters, seen in episodes of TOS.

Percy Rodriguez was cast as flag officer Commodore Stone, who was Kirk's superior in the chain of command. Stone is one of the officers that presides over Kirk's court martial.

Booker Bradshaw was the original Dr. M'Benga, seen in two episodes of TOS. at the time, M'Benga was Starfleet's first and only medical specialist in Vulcan Physiology, having spent a year's residency on Vulcan.

One of the finest minds in computer technology in the 23rd century, and creator of the duotronic computer, Dr. Richard Daystrom, was played by William Marshall, whose work in Shakespeare, and his roles as Paul Robeson and Frederick Douglass, added to the gravitas of his portrayal.

A flag officer, a specialist in Vulcan medicine, and one of the finest minds in a field of technology, played by actors of color, during the turbulent 1960s.

[facts-i-just-made-up]

You should give the kidney stone a name. And write call out posts about it

The stones are named "Keith Richshard" and "Mick Jagged." Had it been only one I'd have called it "The Penile Asteroid of Rura Penthe."

Why do I get crushes on the most obscure characters?

Like Anthony (the angel of death) on Touched by an Angel

Look at this cutie patooti!! How can I not love him!!

Or Chris Halliwell from Charmed

He’s a smart ass and I love him for it! He just wants to save his brothers soul

Or Ambassador Tos from Star Trek Enterprise

THERE ARE NO GIFS OF HIM!!!!

Why are there no GIFs he’s adorable

Or Judge Harry Stone from Night Court

Or Dan fielding also from Night Court (the second guy in the above gif)

Or Jenkins from The Librarians

But to be fair I might just have a crush on the actor

Or Dr Phlox also from Enterprise

He’s a family man!! He got 3 wives and so much love to give, towards the end of the series when he can’t save T’Pols, and Tuckers baby’s life he cries and says it hurts like it’s one of his own. So much love in this man that when his friends hurt he hurts

And he feels insulted when Tucker doesn’t want to sleep with one of his wives after she pursues him so we know he’s good with sharing lol

Or Ringo Langley from X-Files and The Lone Gunmen

(The blonde one in the middle here)

He’s such a sweetheart cutie pie!! How can one not love him! He plays dungeons and dragons and dresses up like his character when he does and writes for a newspaper. He matches my freak lol

Or Graverobber from Repo the Genetic Opera

He’s so dramatic!! I love him. He sings ! And I love his hair!

Or Odo from Deep Space Nine

WHY CANT I FIND A GOOD GIF OF HIM!!!

And finally (at the risk of being called a furry

Why is the no reader inserts for Skimbleshanks, Mr mistoffles, or Rum Tum Tugger!!!

THERE IS NO GOOD GIFS OF SKIMBLSHANKS!!

But look at my boi mistofflees hop and dance, he’s a tuxedo cat that’s also a magician!!

And look a tugger go! He’s a bad boi stereotype

I ran out of room for gifs but those are the main ones anyway

I’m gonna have to make an appreciation post for each of these guys individually, hell I used to write fanfic for a couple of them before I got locked out of my old tumblr account

The TikTokers may proclaim that Fandom culture is dead, that a media's community disappears overnight with the final episode/chapter's release, but I know the truth. This website is full of you abandonment-issue-having-monster-fuckers so hurry up and drop the link to your recent wips before I send my ass back in time to Qoutev and FF.net

[obsessive-daydreamer]

Lore might have been evil and homicidal, but can we just talk about what an icon he was? It was very obvious that he was constantly put down by the colonists, yet he took all of their insults like "weird", "freak", "unnatural" etc and went no❤️.

And then proceeded to declare himself a superior species that's above all life forms and develop a god complex? Absolute girlboss behaviour.

Feel free to add other popular material you see this with, but sometimes I just see intolerant folk using memes from popular media as templates for their homophobic/transphobic agendas. However, maybe the thing they're a fan of doesn't so much agree with what they're saying. So how about we look at some of them?

On 16 March 1992 Star Trek: The Next Generation aired an episode called "The Outcast" which indirectly addressed the topic of transphobia and homophobia, where the villains of the episode was the system trying to oppress and convert the LGBT character of the episode. Gene Roddenberry, creator of Trek himself, even gave his blessing to let LGBT subjects and characters be discussed in Star Trek.

On 16 February 1997 The Simpson's aired an episode titled "Homer's Phobia", in which Homer is shown to be homophobic. By the end of the episode, however, he apologizes for his assumptions and discrimination, and tells Bart (who he was trying to force into being hypermasculine) that if he were gay, that he'd be perfectly fine with it.

On 3 September 1997 South Park aired "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" where Stan is told by an adult that homosexuality is wrong and tries to force his dog to be heterosexual. He, however, learns by the end that it's not wrong to be gay, and gives a speech to the town in opposition of homophobia.

So, people who want to post memes of these shows to suit their discriminatory values ought to know that the very thing they're hiding behind is in opposition of them, and that they didn't suddenly "go woke" in the 2010s. It says a lot that the creatives you laud think you're wrong.

Neelix/T'Pel! An alternate idea is that T'Pel is a person who's difficult to like and one by one every member of the crew encounters her and has a poor experience but Neelix can't help but like her and even feel he understands her intimately because of his experience seeing her through Tuvok's eyes as 'Tuvix'. He finds her in the mess hall alone one night and hears her complain about how the replicated tea tastes and how Kathryn is as usual hopeless at such domestic tasks and Tuvok is off somewhere. [Oh, he's probably doing something very important Mrs. Vulcan!] Yes, no doubt. There's a long pause then Neelix gets up and tells her to stay right there! And he makes her a cup of tea and she takes a sip after careful inspection and finds that it's just how she likes it - exactly how she likes it, and it's the first compliment she gives anyone on the crew in the time we've seen her - including Janeway. Neelix smiles, watching her drink it, as if remembering something. "My pleasure!" he says. Zoom out as soft music plays.
