I was seduced by the force, I drew some Star Wars fan art yesterday. Finn likes keeping the people he cares about close. Maybe Finn is dreaming about this while he’s [spoilers]
I miss drawing self-indulgent fan art, I am trying to get back into it, hopefully I’ll have more free time in 2016. feel free to drop me a request ;)
Because I desperately needed more of these three together than just one movie. And I reeeeeally thought they were gonna have Finn train to be a Jedi along with Rei in the second one, but nooooooooooo. Sigh. Still loved them and loved when they got to adventure together.
Star Wars university AU x Dark Academia aestetics.
Rey is in the same study group as Poe and Finn and they immediately became friends. They often spend time in the library (they skip some classes there, but please don’t tell Dean Orson Krennic about it!), leaf through books with strange names and study dead languages out of pure interest (they actually study Parseltongue, again, please don’t tell Professor Krennic!)
Why is Rey studying Parseltongue and all that? To scare her older brother Kylo with forbidden spells, of course.
Spoilers tho mostly it’s just my interpretation of the main trio’s relationship dynamic
To me, the FinnPoe was strong. I don’t really care that Disney felt the need to insert a female love interest for Poe. Well, I care in that it was cowardly, but whatever. The story is what *I* make of it. I can easily read Poe as poly. I see him and Finn in a loving but open relationship where they are each other’s primaries. And Rey is obviously openly accepted as part of their family. The “this is my boyfriend Finn, and this is Finn’s boyfriend Poe” parks & rec reference actually works pretty well, except that Finn & Rey are best friends instead. And I love that. Poe and Rey are prickly towards each other at times, but in the way of siblings used to bickering but still ultimately respecting and loving each other.
And while I’m not a fan of Reylo, I’m not going to deny it was canon, but Rey had such a strong relationship with Finn & Poe (& Bb8 & Chewie) as her family of choice that when she ultimately loses Ben it wasn’t a huge blow to her because she barely had him in the first place. I think she had already faced her feelings and come to accept them but also that it was a complicated and shitty situation with little hope for a happy ending. As an orphan used to loss, she had already braced herself in that regard, and is profoundly grateful for who she still has, the people (and droids) who have been supporting and loving her on this journey.
Anyone else out there feeling that w me? I just loved their embrace at the end and felt like it encapsulated their relationship beautifully. I see them having all the cuddles T~T
P.s. I saw an article floating around that seemed like a relationship analysis of the trio but I avoided it since I hadn’t seen the movie yet and now of course I can’t find it anywhere so if anyone knows what I’m talking about off that incredibly vague description and could link me I’d appreciate it.
