Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

ididthistoconfuseyouhahaha asked: [headcannon caused by listening to the song from the end of episode 4] so the resistance is giving finn and rey medals and it's the big hall full of all the resistance fighters and Leia gives them the medals just like originally and poe is standing there in his fancy uniform and finn looks over at him with a huge smile and poe winks at him like han winked at Leia and finn just keeps the huge smile on his face and smiles at Rey and BB-8 and R2 and CPO and Chewie are all there and it’s awesome.

WOW I LOVE THIS.  Oh, it’s so great, oh wow, 100% yes.

primtheamazing asked: I'm actually interested in what you talked about yesterday, namely Finn and his relationship to pain meds + stormpilot.

leupagus:

The first thing Finn asks when he wakes up is, “Where’s Rey?”

The second thing he asks is, “Shouldn’t you be doing something important?”

The third thing he asks is, “Why aren’t they letting me get out of bed?”

Poe holds onto his hand and answers. “She’s coming back in a few days. I’m doing something important right now. They’re not letting you get up because you’re still healing.”

Finn clearly wants to argue with all three of those; for someone who grew up obeying orders, Poe thinks, the guy’s got a contrary streak a parsec wide. But after a minute he settles back into the bed. “I must be all better, though,” he says. “Nothing hurts.”

Poe’s eyebrows are climbing halfway up his forehead before he remembers about the Stormtrooper Acclimatization Protocols. He’s not supposed to say, nothing’s supposed to hurt, what the hell, Finn. “Do things usually hurt when you’re injured?”

“Pain is good for focus,” Finn says slowly, watching Poe carefully. “Did – you not know that?”

“I did,” says Poe, instead of saying something like what the fuck. “But it also makes life a lot less pleasant.”

Finn seems to consider this seriously. “So – what, you guys use pain meds even when you don’t need to? What if you run out? What happens if someone else is in pain and I used it all up, or–”

Poe has a flash to the bombing of their first Resistance base, a few years ago; General Organa had dragged a half-dozen people out of the wreckage before getting caught in a blast herself. Han had shown up less than three days later, frantic and awful and every bit the asshole Leia had described, and he’d sat at her bedside for two weeks until she woke up. She summoned Poe and Statura for a sitrep and had asked a million and one questions, with her leg still wrapped up and her arm in a sling, and Han slouched in a chair beside her, smiling faintly.

“I’ll have the doctor let you know just how much pain medication we’ve got,” he says to Finn. “Suffice to say, we’ve got plenty. And our supply lines are secure. And Finn,” he adds, leaning forward, Finn’s hand clutching at his, “You’re worth the expenditure, okay? The Resistance wants you healthy, but we’re not just an army, okay? We want you feeling feeling good, too.”

And Finn smiles, his hand warm in Poe’s.

the only way a han/leia Empire Strikes Back romance plot for finn/poe could work is if one of them is completely oblivious about whats going on (i’d like to think it’s poe) like “come on admit it. you want me to stay because you have feelings for me” “of COURSE i have feelings for you! you’re my best buddy in the whole galaxy” “THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW IT” classic poe

Nah, I think Poe is fully aware of his feelings for Finn what with the whole jacket giving, lip biting thing.

If anyone is oblivious it’s Finn.

“Finn, I love you.”

“I love you too! I’ve never had a best friend before!”

*Rey facepalms in the background and Poe starts to cry because he doesn’t know how to make it any more obvious.*

You know what, I totally love the setup in force awakens for any romantic subplot that could come out of it. The apparent options are:

1. Finn and Rey: an interracial straight couple where the man is black and the woman is white, a setup done almost always the other way around in movies

2. Finn and Poe: an interracial gay couple (with two people of color) that would be the first of its kind in a major motion picture like this

3. Finn and Rey and Poe: a potentially healthy polyamorous, interracial relationship. Unheard of ever.

4. No romantic subplot at all: A sci-fi film without a pointless romance that has no relevance to the plot??? Whaaaaaatttttt?????

I mean whichever way you swing it, it turns out pretty fantastic!

How is Poe a POC???

dude

Oscar Isaac is Latino (specifically Guatemalan/Cuban)

forestbucky:

while trying to get finn’s attention after he’s joined the resistance, poe has:

- done a low flyby that terrified everyone on the runway, earning a stern talking to by general organa (2 times)
- sent bb-8 to be his wing-droid which didn’t work bc finn doesn’t speak droid (17 times)
- somehow convinced rey to go with bb-8 to translate, outcome awkward and unsuccessful (1 time)
- left random articles of his clothing in convenient places (29 times)
- flirted over his comm during battle (8 times)
- touched finn’s shoulder/chest/abdominal area in passing (41 times)
- kissed finn in a grandeur fashion before battle, which wouldn’t be embarrassing if he hadn’t said ‘okaygreatgottagobye’ and half jogged to his x wing in shame (1 time, yesterday, and hasn’t talked to finn since please help him jessika)

ok so like. obviously the whole scene with finn and poe on the tie fighter is one of the most important things of our time, but what I especially love about it is their mutual giddy enthusiasm? like, I guess just because finn had just finished being an evil storm trooper and poe had shown himself to be a smartass I was expecting some like, growly banter and gruff dislike-but-I’ll-work-with-you dynamic, but instead they’re both just sunshine and puppies right off the bat. poe gives finn his name and finn is like “I love it :DDDD” and poe is like “I love you :DDDD” and when finn makes the shot and flips out about it poe doesn’t mock him for being excited he’s just like “YEAH WHOO THAT WAS AWESOME!!” and then they tell each other they’re both awesome and laugh a lot and it’s all smiles and giddiness and a romcom escape from the First Order and I just. they’re both so happy to meet each other and IT KILLS ME.

i’m such a sucker for this thing where people meet and are immediately like oh, finally, thank god, it’s YOU.
