Salty asks! 1., 14. And 18.!

❤ ❤

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?*
An*soka, Ob*kin, and Darkpil*t. None of them quite work for me, and honestly, I don’t quite understand the appeal. I think I just generally don’t like master/padawan ships, though I do kinda like Dooku/Asajj

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
I have many unpopular opinions ;). Here’s one: I don’t really think there’s an in-group of popular people, and I think that everyone is really easy to talk to and friendly! Sometimes, I think people get so preoccupied with being friends with certain people, that they forget to make friends with the people who actually share their interests and are fun to talk to. (look, I have saltier opinions out there… I can keep going)

18. Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?
Heck no. Shipping is a super personal thing. I have no really popular HP ships, but I don’t think I’m in denial or biased. I just think it means you don’t jive with those character interactions!!!

[Salty fandom questions!]

@theweddingofthefoxes and @cosleia tagged me to share my five favorite last lines from my fic. Thanks guys.

The Immaterial Stardust of His Being, Kylux

“We are alive. We are more than mere dreams, we are real.” Ren’s voice is low, the words pressed into the space between them. Hux nods.

“We are more than scattered shards on the solar winds. We are no longer stardust.”

We Have the Bright Sun, finnpoe

Finn looks around at the treetops, at the small, creeping moss working its way slowly through the hilltop, destroying the solid, almost monumental rock. He understands now. Nods.

“Then I will fight with you. Fight for the sun and the stars above us, and the chance to have this.” And he kisses Poe again, the taste of freedom sharp between their lips.

A Sea of Golden Leaves, kylux/benarmie

“What is important?” Ben smiles, predator’s smirk in the darkness.

“You. Me. Nothing else in this fucking world, in this galaxy, but you and me. You can be an ass to everyone in the entire fucking universe, but here, us, we matter. They’re all just leaves in autumn, but us? We’re real. You want to know what matters, Armie? I want you. That’s what matters. Forever, whatever way you’ll have me. And you want me. I know it. I can feel it.” Armie nods, presses his face into Ben’s palm.

“Only us. We’re real. Only us.” And with the dark close around them, the firelight flickering off Ben’s face and the close air under the evergreen, Armitage Hux begins to believe.

a guttering candle to beat back the storm, galennic

The quilts are soft when he finally finds them. He pulls out the largest, a dark blue one he remembers his mother laboring over for hours. She was already thin, drawn from illness, but she’d spent weeks on it, carefully stitching it together with delicate hands. Galen goes to the bedroom, the quilt bundled up in his arms.

He shakes it open with a flourish, draping it across his bed. It falls in heavy folds at the end, reaching nearly to the floor on all sides. When it’s laid out, pattern showing for the first time in years, Galen falls backwards onto it, sprawling out.

It’s his bed now. His, and surely Orson’s. The hole has been filled, the key turned in the lock of his soul, his path set straight. Things are finally as they should be.

…and awe at the power, kalluzeb

“This is comfort,” Zeb says, lips fluttering at the edge of Kallus’s ear. “This is being free.”

And Kallus falls asleep there, curled into Zeb’s arms, silence melted away, calm, the salt of his tears a single memorial for his lost world.

2, 4, and 15

2. If you lived in the Star Wars universe, what would you do? What kind of person would you become?
I’d probably be someone a lot like Lyra Erso to be honest. (And I don’t mean in love with Galen, ok?) I mean I would be an explorer or a surveyor, someone who learns about different planets and different cultures. LOL basically I’d be myself.

4. If you made a Star Wars movie, what would it be about and who would you cast?
HELL I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS.  Right now, what I’d most like is something set during the early years of the Empire based on Catalyst, with all the actors from RO in their respective roles, or something set during the Empire.

Basically, what I’d love would be a film centered around Ahsoka, with Rosario Dawson playing her. I’d love for her to face off against Tarkin and Krennic or against Krennic, because it would give us a chance to see them as manipulative (Krennic) and super competent (Tarkin) while also having us explore what Ahsoka was doing during her time as Fulcrum before Rebels begins.

15. If Star Wars were a musical, which characters would sing which songs in which scenes?
I’m thinking about ANH here: Luke would be a tenor and would sing most of the pieces in the opening. He and Obi-Wan would have a rousing chorus of “Your Father’s Lightsaber” and then switch to more somber “Save the princess” which would get reprised later on on the Death Star. The most tragic moment would be the Alderaan Lament, sang by Leia alone in her cell.
