I actually quite liked early Reylo when it was often presented as an addictive or abusive relationship with a sort of triangle dynamic, but the other side is PoeFinnRey.
But I cannot deny it would be much more compelling it it were gay. I think I prefer transfem Kylo and genderqueer Rey personally. It makes the whole Killing Of Han scene more palatable because Han's love is always unconditional but also clumsy, injurious, just painful enough for a flare of dark side cruelty. Just have Han say something from Kylo's youth that Isn't Not Male Gendered Exactly, and let the moment of pain be an opportunity for the palpatine that YOU ARE ESTABLISHING MUCH EARLIER HERE BY JUST REPLACING THE SHITTY BRAIN GUY FROM THE FIRST MOVIE OUTRIGHT
Anyway, Rey's story is basically unchanged you just get to add a joke about her not knowing what a woman even is and therefore not being one, it's very sweet and childlike in a way (my god she's so young), very I'm not a woman I'm a smuggler pew pew fingerguns energy.
And of course Finn and Poe are a more classical bi for bi relationship with an honestly unusually healthy dynamic because the cracks don't show until Rose and the casino are on the scene. I like a sort of transmasc adjacent thing for Finn especially, a counterpoint to Rey's vibes with a strong, "I'm not a stormtrooper I'm an Man" energy that appeals to me as an intersex person operating outside gender binaries especially. He can be AXAB transmasc, as a treat.
Poe is cis I guess but in a Token way, well no that's not right it. Okay, look, most friend groups DO have a Cis One okay, I swear. Maybe it's someone's brother or their boyfriend or their sub IDK but there's honest to god usually a cis guy around somewhere. They are real!!!
Ugh I could have written those damned movies so much better is the point of it all.

Songs for the Muse - Ask Game
Songs can be a great way to inspire the muse. I know of authors who write whilst listening to specific playlists. Gif creators who use lyrics to enhance their sets. Not to mention the numerous amazing fan videos that are also music videos
So, I’m asking you to share at least 5 songs that you’ve either created a work from, plan to create a work from or hope to create a work from. Tag 5 more people when you’re done!
I was tagged by @mitch-pell promise!
Tagging: whoever wants to!
All of mine are "Hope to Create"
Stay With Me by Better Love - Truthfully this song makes me think about like 4 different ships but mostly I want to write some PoeFinn or PoeFinnRey for this one. If you listen to the song, and you all should, it's basically about meeting this person, having such a strong connection, and just staying together. Being together. If you know then you know.
Cut You a PIece from 35MM - This, imo, is a sad song and everytime i listen to it I think of MCU style SamSteve! When I listen to it I think about one of those slice of life style stories with snap shots of their lives together. Its sad cause there's a death at the end.
Hot by Marisa Maino - So this is actually mostly a silly little college au story staring Sam, John, and Lemar. Thats all Ive got right now. Its gonna be funny though (to me at least)
Toy Soldiers by Marianas Trench - This is just that yandere!John fic that's been living in the back of my brain since last year.
Welcome Back by Ali Gatie & Alessia Cara - This is like a FinnRey, either romantic or platonic I really haven't decided. But this is really just a vibe. Like two ppl deeply connected who drift apart regularly but always come back together, even for a short period of time. I think this fits post-canon FinnRey perfectly and it makes wild just thinking about it!
Surprise #6!
It's OK If You Forget Me by Astrid S - This is another MCU SamSteve but like. This song is about a relationship that didn't last and it was a normal relationship. You have ups and down but it ends and you're not sad or devastated or gutted. Kinda wish you were, cause things were good and they meant something and you cared about each other, so it should hurt. But it doesn't. And that's great, going out on a good note, and it sad cause those times are over now, and its natural cause everything ends eventually. And that's the vibe bby!
