Rey – Frangipani
In different cultures, the frangipani, or plumeria, carries the meaning of the strength to withstand tough challenges, connecting with the spiritual world, intense love and devotion. Aside from a natural toughness, the delicate look of the flower makes it a symbol of grace, wealth, and perfection.The Frangipani flower’s message is being delicate and beautiful doesn’t mean you are weak or incapable of rising to meet a challenge.

I’m not sure who actually said it because it’s been attributed to many people as far as I can tell, but there’s a quote one of my writing professors used to tell us. It goes something like this: “a critic is someone who enters the battlefield after the fighting is over and shoots the wounded”.

And honestly that’s all I think of when people are here talk about being “critical” of things. Hell, “critical” has become a replacement word for “negative” or “I actually hate this thing, thanks” in some circles. And I just wish I knew why.

Criticism isn’t a bad thing. It’s not even necessarily a negative thing, either. It can and often is an analysis of the faults and merits of art which is why professional literary critics, film critics, art critics, food critics, ect talk about what’s good and bad about whatever they’re critiquing. I suppose the urge to bash the hell out of whatever or to focus on the negative is very much in human nature, but I think it’s unnecessary most of the time.

I suppose I wish critique didn’t feel so much like kicking people when they’re down. It doesn’t have to be this way. It could be constructive.

The One Where Kylo Meets a Porg

Kylo: you cannot yell at me and then disconnect the bond before I can-

Rey, sitting in the Falcon, a porg on her lap: before you can what?

Kylo, looking down at the porg, no longer furious: what is that?

Rey: it’s a porg. They’re pests really, but they’re too cute for me to dump outside.

Kylo, silent, staring at the porg in wonder.

Rey: would you like to hold it?

Kylo, swallows but nods. He takes it from her, holding it very gently.

Rey: do you like it?

Kylo: before today there was only one reason I would ever burn the galaxy. Now there are two.
