civilianlifeFrom an interview with John Cho:
"...Asian men are very rarely with Asian men, and I always personally thought that it was because the family thing was a little extra heavy, and so they’re less likely to be with people that look like their family as a result. That was my personal pet theory about why my friends were never with Asian men. So in the future I thought it would be cool that it was totally normalized so that it kind of looked like a heterosexual couple. On the one hand it was very traditional, and on the other hand, from a gay politics side, it was kind of radical.”
“...There was a scene that is not in the film but was written which is very revealing, where Sulu makes a confession to Uhura and says that his husband didn’t want to move out to [starbase] Yorktown, which is this remote outpost, but he made that sacrifice for Sulu’s career. Sulu felt a very heavy sense of guilt about having made that move and now had inadvertently endangered is family, and then Uhura comforts him."
"...I would go further into [the story of Sulu and his family], too. You know, the conversation I talked about that’s not in the movie – THAT conversation. “I[Sulu] want to move to Yorktown, I want to chase this commission, come with me.” “No I don’t want to go that far, I don’t want to take the kid out…”. That kind of scene would be great.”
(Tentative)Headcanons inspired by fanfics:
Their adopted daughter's name is probably Demora, but I'm open to other names if a Hikaru-mun wants something different!
I would love if the crew basically adored their daughter, and they're like aunts and uncles to her. She's particularly smitten with Jim.
I'm not totally 100% decided on Ben's job yet, though I'm thinking he's kind of like a full-time mom in a way, since he takes care of their daughter while Hikaru is off exploring space. But maybe he owns a restaurant he inherited from his family - or a flower shop. Tumblr and fanfic seem to like him working with plants, haha. Could be he owns a flower shop or an extravagant greenhouse?
