Learning a language that doesn’t use the same writing system as your native one is so fun because they change the font and you’re doomed
I had a penpal from Greece in high school. She had the neatest handwriting ever. She taught me a bunch of basic stuff, and it got to the point that we’d write our letters almost exclusively in Greek (a big deal, as this was before Google Translate was even a thing).
Cut to junior year of college. I took Classical Greek as part of my degree, and I was feeling like I had a leg up over my classmates, whose Greek handwriting looked like kindergarten chicken scratch, while mine was smooth and quick. I turned in my first assignment feeling pretty damn proud of myself.
About three assignments later, my professor pulled me aside with the goofiest look on his face…
“I appreciate the effort, but…”
You remember that phase I think all little girls go through in middle school/junior high? Where we have swirly tails on our G’s or our Y’s get all swoopy, or we dot all our I’s with little hearts?
Yeah…
Turns out, all the perfect little flourishes I’d been putting on my letters were not, in fact, part of the letters at all. My penpal had just still been in that phase when she taught me the alphabet!

I wouldn’t say ‘When Harry Met Sally’ is my favorite movie in the world, but it pinpointed something that everyone connects to: the I-didn’t-know-I-was-in-love-with-my-best-friend thing. That obviously comes from Emma. Jane Austen pinpointed it in the Emma-Mr. Knightley relationship. It’s been used successfully as a thematic problem in two people’s lives in a lot of stories, and that’s really a testament to Jane Austen’s observation of the romantic human condition. /… / I think everyone has had that best friend where you just argue, you do everything together, and years go by and you wonder if you should have kissed that person. And I think that’s why ‘When Harry Met Sally’ exists, because of Knightley and Emma—and ‘Reality Bites’ with Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke. That’s a totally Mr. Knightley/Emma relationship. /… / The movie is very much supposed to play into everyone’s memory of that best friend that maybe they should have kissed. — Autumn De Wilde

Part of the reason why I’m not more of a Trekkie is that every time I look up “spock/uhura” or “spock & his family” nine out of every ten posts are still about Spirk.
Oh the struggle of Spock fans who don't care about ships, or they like his actual romance in the reboot just fine and/or would like for his actual stories and backstory to get developed more.
It's funny because some people in this fandom concern troll so much about Uhura being "reduced to a love interest" but I actually, ironically, at times find much more fanon gen content about her than about Spock. It's like people essentially project on her the very thing they do with Spock themselves. I mean, try being a Spock fan who doesn't think his role is just being either Kirk's nerdy friend or boyfriend, or one piece of the original trio. Try finding content that isn't, like, about Spock needing to see the light and understand how to human thank to his dudebro (cue the whining when canon doesn't align with such interpretations.. I mean, it's almost as if...Spock is part human himself? And he has a life beyond THAT captain and ship? Whoa).

Interspecies Relationship- Day 22 of Trektober 2021
This can be summed up as Nyota Uhura is a Disney princess and Spock is in awe
Spock awoke to a quiet, overcast morning. The sky was covered with clouds, the sun barely peeking through to the world below.
It was the first day of spring break and he wasn't looking forward to it. Although most of the students would be travelling somewhere else, perhaps Las Vegas or to the swaying palm trees of Florida, there were still plenty on campus to make going anywhere insufferable.
Nyota had laughed when he told her the previous night of his annoyance. He had been offended but her promise to make their first spring break less insufferable was holding true. Today they would be going to the California Academy of Sciences. He'd thoroughly planned their day, if he got up now, they would have time to eat breakfast, prepare lunch and get going before the predicted rush.
He threw an arm over to Nyota's side of the bed and felt the cold sheets instead. Peculiar, he thought. She'd been there when he went to sleep, and when he woke up at three o'clock in the morning.
While he got up to investigate, he heard a song drifting in the air. He opened the door and walked down the corridor. The song got louder.
He stopped and listened for a moment.
