Yeahhhhhh tone wise it doesn’t work but it’s still fucking adorable. I’m here for Ben awkwardly bouncing after Rey. So here for it.
She’s just like, walking away at a leisurely pace and he’s all “you just wait until I dry off! You won’t be so smug when I have legs again” and she’s just like “mmhmm, sure I won’t”
I was thinking of Bound and Tide!!! But almost anything works, this is just an adorable idea all around
Oh, good! lol. I was too! I read the comment above and I just got this image of poor half-seal Ben bouncing on the shore like “Rey,” *bounce* “wait, don’t leave me like this” *bounce* “I promise I’ll apologize for biting that guy” *bounce*
Which, you know, tonally, isn’t gonna happen but I still laugh.
Still, it’s super adorable and I love it.
PFFFT – hey, they can move at a pretty good bouncing pace. LOL! Belly bouncing merfolk, there’s a funny idea. One merfolk AU I’ve drawn multiple art pieces for has Dean as a selkie with a seal lower body, so really I’m just imagining Dean belly-flopping along. XD
@samanddeaninpanties first of all, hell yes, this is absolutely something I need to see. It’s just so damn funny. Graceful merfolk in the water, floppy awkward puppies out of it. Second, I hope you were thinking what I think you were thinking because now I’m thinking it and giggling my ass off.
I have read fics with notps before. More than once. Interesting summaries can totally make me say “today Satan.” So I get that. Damn all these talented writers making it hard to say no 😉
Hahahahaha! I know! Aren’t these talented writers just the worst? Getting me to read things I wouldn’t usually read. *shakes fist at sky*
If my history is anything to go by I’ll wind up reading it one of these days. If nothing else the curiosity will get to me and I’ll have to at the very least peek.
Well I didn’t read it but I thought about it. So maybe I passed? I can definitely say “not today, Satan” but I can’t say “and definitely not next Tuesday at four, Satan”.
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.
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.
One thing I enjoy about you is you seem to go through phases with ships (for rare pairs anyway). I still remember when you were here for Sam/Jack in a sort of shippy way 😉
lol. I do! It’s like, sometimes I’m super into one thing and then a few weeks later I’m not really. It’s like dessert, I guess. Sometimes I want cupcakes, sometimes I want cake, sometimes I want pie. It varies.
Ask me again, next week, I’ll probably be shipping Jack and Sam. lol.
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
