We need more representation of brooding women. Why are only men allowed to be a haunted stoic type? Let more women be moody violent bad asses.
Vomiting out my Andor wips before S2 can break me <3
I added the red dots/dust? details... because a Taki fell on my screen..... and I was like... 'woah this looks sick' ✋️😔
Funky little accidents or whatever bob ross said
honestly sometimes I think about how did ships like reylo and the fanbase destroy what started out as a excellent star wars story into fanfiction (The Force Awakens had all the set up for an amazing franchise and I still get chills watching it)
then I have days like today and I'm remind of how shit people ESPECIALLY teenagers can be and i realise how we got here(also why that school is satans armpit but thats another conversion)
Anyways stan finnrey and finnpoe and all things sequel trio for clear skin
thinking about bodhi rook
did he accept the death of his family back in Jedha or did he deny it till his own death? do they remember him in the rebellion? did they tell finn about the imperial defector carrying the message that the rebels could destroy the death star? did they tell finn how he was kind? how he was soft? how he did the most difficult thing with as much grace as he could?
in the universe where he lives, does his hands become softer from hours polishing his ship? or are they rough from the many tools he uses to fix the crafts that come in to distract himself? do his hands ever stop shaking when not occupied? does someone (maybe cassian, maybe luke, maybe kes) tell him he can relax, that he is amongst friends now and no one judges him for the past but rather what he does with his present? does he cling to Chirrut and Baze, his last reminders of home? does he hold jyns gaze and see her as his sister? or does he just see the eyes of galen telling him he can make a difference?
he brought his cane back and his itty bitty Toothless
years later, I figured out it wasn’t Reylo I hated, it was the whole canon of the third star wars installment, lol. Or I should say the characterization, because what was really promising in TFA turned into gibberish by the time TLJ came around. Maybe people had actually good headcanons for Reylo, I don’t know because I’m not invested in that ship, but if you go off the actual characterizations and make it somewhat canon compliant: yeah it’s abusive, unrealistic and just plain weird, there’s no way around it.
I loved The Force Awakens, but mostly for it’s ‘fresh’ feeling (new characters, new take on the originals, interesting parallels, gorgeous cinematography) and the potential of it. I loved Rey & her independence, I loved Finn who went against his conditioning as a stormtrooper after he saw his friend die; I was intrigued by the idea that he could be a Jedi. I liked Poe’s and Finn’s friendship (fuck disney for not letting them be the space gays they deserved to be). There’s so much more though.
I actually liked a lot of the ideology & spirituality themes in TLJ (bringing a bit more grey area into the jedi/sith dichotomy, marxist ideology even lmao. Also salty, broken Luke Skywalker was a genius progression imo) but it opened up too many new chapters that couldn’t possibly be resolved in the third part. Also it felt like a weirdly sexualized movie, just felt really uncomfortable to me (but that’s a bone I have to pick with all of Ryan Johnson’s movies I’ve seen so far, too traditionally heteronormative for me). That’s where the Reylo picked up in canon, and how it was portrayed in the movie was problematic and personally, I hated it. Whatever people did on ao3 with it, idc, but it was neither a good setup for a romance in a kid/teen movie nor for a possible redemption (sorry but my measure for a good redemption arc will always be Zuko, and kylo ren did not cut it). It was rushed and poorly made, people defending the writing pissed me off. The third installation of the trilogy was just a scramble to save what’s left, but they failed to the point that I couldn’t even remember the plot or characterization (what characterization??) without reading wiki articles about it. So whatever Disney could conceal with an intriguing opening of the trilogy was destroyed when they showed their true colors with the following two movies. No consistency and a backwards approach to characterization.
Oh and the other thing that was a completely wasted opportunity: a rebellion from within, stormtroopers being freed from their conditioning and therefore dismantling the first order. Wasn’t that the whole point, unshackling an army of abducted children? They hung a gun in TFA but didn’t fire it. I am so fucking mad about that.
