got the green light, so here’s my piece centering around Kix and Finn for the @worldbetweenworldszine
[id: it’s a two page comic of Kix and Finn from Star Wars done in minimal colors of mostly blue and pink. In the first page, the beginning panels are focused on various pieces of armor, Kix’s hands, and then Finn’s face. Back and forth dialogue between them reads: Kix: “How’s that?” Finn: “This is what you guys wore?” Kix: “Mhm. Standard Phase II Gar-issued armor. How’s it fit?” Finn: “A lot better than whatever the First Order put us in. Feels like it might actually protect me from a hit or two. It’s nice.” Kix: “Good. It’s yours now.” Finn: “What?” The next panel focuses on Kix, who is older with long, greying hair. He wears a pair of rectangular glasses and a blue jacket. “What?” Finn asks and Kix repeats himself saying “It’s yours now, kid.” Finn: “Are you serious?” Kix: “Wouldn’t be saying that if I wasn’t, now would I?” Finn continues to argue, “But it’s the last you have of your brothers. I can’t take this.”
The second page first focuses on flashbacks of Kix with his armor, showered in bright pink light as opposed to blue. Saleucami, Umbara, and then Anaxes. The scene changes back to the present where Finn is still speaking as Kix picks up a piece of his armor and a mug of caf cools off in the background. Finn: “I don’t understand. Kix?” As Kix looks down at one of his shoulder bells, he replies, “I’ve thought about it long and hard, but the truth is, I don’t have much use for this armor anymore. My fighting days are over and all it’s going to do is sit in a trunk if I keep holding onto the past. It’s time for me to let go and pass it on to someone else.” There’s a sequence of panels of Jesse, Hardcase, Fives, Rex, Tup, and then, finally, Finn. It’s then that Kix says “You’re my brother too, Finn.” He then backtracks, going on to say “Now of course, it’s only if you want it, but—” but Finn cuts him off by saying “Thank you”, his arms wrapped around a surprised Kix in a hug. “Thank you, Kix.” After getting over his initial shock, Kix smiles softly and hugs him back. “Of course, vod'ika.” He replies. /end id]
