Yet another character ask thingie – Ben Solo (or should I call him Kylo Ren???)

Asking the real questions, now, eh? To Ben or not to Ben… 
Practically everyone in the movies calls him Ben now, so it’s whatever at this point. 

Now let’s see how unpopular I can be. 

Why I like them: Where do I start? He’s Han and Leia’s son. He’s super OP. He’s pissed off at the world. He cries a lot. He’s lonely. He’s been targeted by a space demon since before he was born and it fucking shows. His conflict is that he feels pulled towards being a good person! Like… what kind of fucking villain…???!!!!
He’s extreme. He’s brutal. He’s a murderer. He’s blunt and honest (he very rarely lies). He’s conflicted and tortured by his own mind. His past is full of crap from near death at a young age, to public humiliation via finding out Vader was his granddad, to betrayal. He should be a perfect villain. 
BUT he’s lost. He’s throwing things at the wall and what sticks is what he goes with. He shows capacity for mercy and compassion in the first scene he’s in by doing nothing about Finn’s refusal to follow orders. He has the potential for light and dark. He *can* be softer, more patient, more understanding. He can be better than he initially appears. He’s layered and fascinating and he just kills. 
Why I don’t: He makes awful choices. I mean, I get why he does. He’s fucked up in a ton of different ways so poor decision making is kind of a given but dammit do I suffer when he does dumb stuff. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): The hut scene in TLJ. I just love it because he only says one line “you’re not alone” and the rest of it is in his face. He looks so genuine and unsure, even to the point that his hand is shaking. You can feel the relief and the calm in that scene. And the of course the wide-eyed shock when Luke busts in. It’s a really good scene and I love that it allows him to just be compassionate. 
Favorite season/movie: The Last Jedi 
Favorite line: “I’m being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain.” from TFA because again, I believe this is genuine and it hurt to watch and I hate it but I think it sums up his motivations and desires really well. 
Favorite outfit: That dark flowy cape, cowl, tunic, thing he had going on in TFA.  
OTP: Reylo
Brotp: Ben and Finn. I think they could be good friends eventually and I want to see it so bad. 
Head Canon: I think he has dreams and visions, too. I think the reason he was instantly like “What girl!” in TFA is because he’d been seeing her in his dreams and meditations for a long time and he *needed* to know who the hell she was. (It would also explain the whole “the girl I’ve heard so much about” even though… there’s like zero reason to hear anything more than “some random girl was seen with that droid we want” and why he was so fixated on finding her.) Why is also the obvious question. My headcanon is that they’re cosmically tied and have been for a lot longer than their first meeting. 
Unpopular opinion: He’s not the villain. There, I said it!
He’s not the villain of the ST! Not really. He’s an anti-hero and his character arc is a redemption arc. IF he was meant to be the Big Bad he wouldn’t’ve ended his Then Let Me Be Evil moment alone, on his knees, cradling his father’s dice (symbolically representing his childhood). Emperor or no, if I am supposed to believe he’s a remorseless monster who’s finally come into his own as The Villain, he should be standing up shrouded in darkness or looking forward to evil, not with his head bowed, bathed in light. 
Also, this is Star Wars. Vader got redeemed. There’s nothing you can say to me that will make me believe he’s going to die bad. 
A wish: I want him to get his shit together. Just please, get your shit together, Ben. Leave the evil organization and be the person you’re being called to be. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: He just fuckin’ dies a villain, I guess. And everyone is happy about it. (Fuck that with a cactus.) 
5 words to best describe them: angry, lost, conflicted, powerful, broken
My nickname for them: I called him Renjamin the other day and my brother lost it so that’s what I’ve been calling him for a while now lol. 

Thanks! 

Character thingys!

Soulless!sam

Why I like them: He’s scary. Like, I legit don’t want to be left alone with him because he’s scary and kind of indifferent to human life. 
Why I don’t: I dunno, it’s one of those things where I like Soulless!Sam for being so wrong, you know? Like, I like him because he’s nothing like what I like about Sam, so it’s hard to say there’s anything I *don’t* like. If that makes sense? I dunno if that makes any sense. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): Live Free or Twihard because that was the first time I was like “there’s something really wrong with Sam and I don’t like it at all”. He wasn’t even *that* scary it was just… that’s not Sam… that can’t be Sam. And I’m still fond of it for that reason. 
Favorite season/movie: He’s only been in season 6, so… season 6! 
Favorite line: That little exchange where he’s talking about Dean being abducted and he says something like “it happened half an hour ago” and then just moves on with the conversation. Like, fucking brutal man. 
Favorite outfit: See this is dangerous b/c I don’t like any of Sam’s clothes and I don’t remember what he was wearing in season 6. Was he ever partially nude? Because if yes I pick that. 
OTP: Souless!Sam/Godstiel. Nightmare duo. 
Brotp: Souless!Sam and Demon!Dean. Another nightmare waiting to happen.
Head Canon: He puts peanut butter on the wrong side of the PB&J. 
Unpopular opinion: I have no clue what counts as an unpopular opinion here. Ummm….
Soulless!Sam is the best alternate Sam. 
A wish: That with-a-soul!Sam doesn’t still feel bad about what Soulless!Sam did. That’s a complicated kettle of fish but I hope he doesn’t hate himself for it. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Sam’s been without a soul the whole time muahhhahahaha! He’s been faking the past 7 seasons and he’s secretly bad this whole time!! (I shouldn’t be giving the writers ideas but it’s out there now) 
5 words to best describe them: indifferent, selfish, cold, twisted, delightfully-dastardly
My nickname for them: I don’t even know why this is a question b/c I don’t do this lol. 

Thanks!

Just one more character ask game thing – Claire Novak

😀 My girl!

Why I like them: So much to love! She’s grumpy and she’s been let down by basically everyone in her life but she still wants to help people. She’s persistent and stubborn. She’s still girlie even though she’s basically a freelance killer lol. 
Why I don’t: In line with that whole stubborn thing, I wish she’d let people care about her, dammit! I know why she doesn’t but ugh! That’s less of a “i don’t like her because” and more of a “i don’t like this about her” thing, though. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): Ladies Drink Free. I like the glimpse of her as a person struggling with her own personal issues and ends with her calling Jody. It was just nice to see her as a person. 
Favorite season/movie: Season 10 because we got more Claire again. 
Favorite line: “Eat me, Hasselhoff” because sass. 
Favorite outfit: Hair down, leather jacket from Wayward Sisters. Gorgeous! 
OTP: Claire/Kaia
Brotp: Claire and Dean, honestly. 
Head Canon: Claire isn’t straight. She’s so painfully not straight. 
Unpopular opinion: I really like that Claire is so pissed off and ready to run. I think it reflects the reality of her life and situation. She’s had every adult in her life except Jody fail her. Her whole world got screwed over when she was a kid. She’s not really gonna be willing to sit down and listen to adults when she’s had to figure it out and make her own rules for years. I like that a lot. 
A wish: I want her to feel like she has a soft place to fall and people to trust. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: She just dies for no reason and nothing is ever done with her character. 
5 words to best describe them: stubborn, self-reliant, closed-off, smart ass, determined 
My nickname for them: Once again, no nickname b/c I’m lame. 

Thanks!

Another character ask thingie because I can – Jack

Why I like them: He’s such a sweetie pie! I love his innocence, his desire to do the right thing, and his love for others. Also, I do love how awkward he is. But mostly I love that he’s just genuinely good. 
Why I don’t: The only thing I don’t like is the “will he, won’t he” turn bad stuff that happens a little. I just don’t care for that at all. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): The Big Empty. That little bit where he gets to talk to his “mom” (kinda) is really sweet and emotional. 
Favorite season/movie: Well… he’s only really been in season 13…
Favorite line: “I remember when the bad woman burned. I remember the universe screamed.” Because I love the phrasing and the image of the universe screaming. That just.. chills. 
Favorite outfit: His little FBI get-up in Tombstone. He looks like a college freshman attending his first day of class (I legit saw dudes in suits every year… in New Mexico in August… that’s a death sentence). 
OTP: I don’t really ship him with anyone honestly. Not in a serious capacity. 
Brotp: Sam and Jack! or Jack and Claire if they ever met. 
Head Canon: Because he doesn’t sleep he watched and memorized every animated movie on Netflix before he went to Apocalypse world. He’s been helping Mary brush up on her pop culture knowledge before she falls asleep (as bedtimes stories). He watches over her when she’s asleep, like she watches over him when he’s awake. 
Unpopular opinion: I don’t give a shit if he ever “grows up”. I like him as this little shining light in the messed up world. He’s goodness and that’s okay. Yeah, he’s naive, but having good people guide him is a good thing. And I don’t want him to be jaded or slide into darkness. I like good things every once in a while. 
A wish: He gets his fricken family all together again. (Yeah… long shot.) 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: He goes bad b/c that stupid dick who will remain nameless gets his hands on him. 
5 words to best describe them: sweet, hopeful, caring, smile-inducing, warm 
My nickname for them: Fuzzy little antichrist 

Thanks!

Character ask thingie – Rey!

Yesssss!

Why I like them: She takes absolutely no shit from anyone. Like, one of my favorite things about her is that she just doesn’t give a shit who she’s talking to, she will fucking throw down if need be. She does not like to be lied to. She’s compassionate. She’s strong but not because she can swing a stick really hard, because she’s got mental fortitude. She cries openly. She gets angry and shows it. She’s blunt and honest. She’s hurt and she’s lonely. She’s competent. She feels human. 
Why I don’t: I don’t know, honestly. There’s a lot I do like about her, even her impulsiveness, her indignation, her recklessness. All those things make a great and layered character. 
I guess if I had to say one thing, it’s that she was a bit too trigger happy. Like, she shoots first, asks later. I think that’s probably gone b/c character development, but that’s probably my biggest issue with her character. 
Also, the three buns. So glad those are gone. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): The Praetorian Guard fight. Like, fuck yes. She’s like a lioness, roaring and waving her saber around and I’m here. for. it. 
Favorite season/movie: The Last Jedi. I didn’t feel like I got to know her much in TFA so getting to know more about her was awesome. 
Favorite line: I know it’s not profound or anything, but her “I’ve seen your daily routine; you are not busy,” to Luke kills me every time. 
Favorite outfit: The grey robes she wears on the Supremacy. 
OTP: Reylo
Brotp: Rey and Finn 🙂 
Head Canon: So, it’s canon she has dreams and visions and it’s implied that she has dreams and visions because she’s really important to The Force and all but my headcanon is that she’s important to The Force because she’s potentially the source of Enlightenment for all beings. Enlightenment meaning what The Force really is and what it’s all about. 
Unpopular opinion: Hmmm. Rey’s not a cinnamon roll. Yes, she’s nice and compassionate and kind, but she’s not perfect and I don’t want her to be. She’s not “pure” and she’s not all good, and she’s not all light side either. I don’t like painting her as such, because that misses so much of what’s so great about her character. She’s not a baby or someone that needs protection. She’s got a warrior’s heart. 
A wish: I really, really want her to get what she wants, which is a family and belonging. That’s all I want for her.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: If she winds up dead and/or alone I’ll fucking riot. (Not really, but I’ll sulk a lot about it.) 
5 words to best describe them: fierce, patient, competent, compassionate, lonely
My nickname for them: It’s just Rey, basically. 

Thanks!

For the character ask Han Solo?

Oh, Fuck Yes! 

Why I like them: He’s a jerkass with a heart of gold. Like, he’s kind of a dick and he’s awkward and weird shot a guy mid-conversation once, but he’s always there for the moment that it counts and I love him. 
Why I don’t: Would it be fair to say he has issues with committing to things? Like, he’s not exactly known for settling his debts and he’s a bit of a wandering spirit. Flighty (yes, pun intended) is a word I’d use for him. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): Oh man, this is hard. I think Han’s best moments are when he thinks he’s about to die, honestly. It’s a toss up between the bridge scene in TFA and the carbonite scene in ESB but b/c I gave Empire the movie fave I’ll give TFA the scene. 
Favorite season/movie: Empire Strikes Back
Favorite line: It’s either “never tell me the odds” from ESB or “I smuggle, not snuggle” from Empire’s End: Aftermath 
Favorite outfit: That coat and goggles combo in the Solo trailer looks super snuggly and I’m here for it. 
OTP: Hanleia
Brotp: Han and Lando (sorry, Chewie) 
Head Canon: Han and Lando were totally a thing. They just were. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. 
Unpopular opinion: Oh, lord, what qualifies here? Uhmmm…
Okay, I actually don’t have an issue at all with Han being interested in people other than Leia. A lot of the Solo stuff I’ve seen includes people voicing how upset they’d be if Qi’ra winds up being Han’s love interest and I’m just like… yeah okay but I don’t care. I know who he wound up with and I don’t expect Leia to be the first person he’s ever had feelings for. He’s been across the galaxy a whole bunch, met all kinds of beings, had a fake wife, like… it’s not a surprise? Qi’ra is probably gonna screw him over anyway. It’s not like it really matters so… idk, I just think it’s silly. 
Also, I think Alden Ehrenreich is a fine choice of casting for Han Solo and I don’t have an issue with it. I look forward to seeing him do well in the role. (fight me) 
A wish: I wish/hope the stand alone Solo movie is going to be good and we can see how he went from an optimist to a cynical jerk. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: His death means nothing in the grand scheme of things. 
5 words to best describe them: He’s got a lot of heart.
My nickname for them: Seems a little redundant to nickname a character that has a three letter name. lol.

Thanks! 

Character thingy!

I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, that makes me happy. :) How was your day today, if you don’t mind me asking? (Hopefully I’m not bothering you, sorry if I am!) -R

You’re not bothering me at all, anon. No worries. 

I had a pretty good day. I got some writing done and didn’t have to *be* anywhere all day. (I’ve had to go places for like the past three weeks. Back and forth to pick my brother up from rehearsal and show nights, mostly.) It was nice. 🙂 

How was your day? 

character – Rose Tico

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life
hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang
hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff
best quality: I love that Rose is steadfast in what she believes. She’s firm in what she feels are wrong and right but she’s not cold or unfeeling about it, either. 
worst quality: I don’t really think she has bad qualities. She’s angry, but I feel hers is an example of how anger can be a benefit instead of a detriment. 
ship them with: Finn, Rey
brotp them with: Rey
needs to stay away from: Other people should stay away from her, tbh. I don’t remember if it was a deleted scene or if it was in the movie but she freaking bit Hux so like… yeah she’s not playing around. 
misc. thoughts: I love Rose. She’s so freaking cute and she doesn’t put up with any shit and she’s kickass. She’s allowed to feel a range of emotions, she’s got a strong moral center, she’s a good teacher for Fiin, and she’s fun. I wish there was more Rose content. 

Thanks! 

I’ll do the thing if you send in a character!
