Top 5 worst Star Wars takes 👀
🙃🥲👀🥰
NUMBER FUCKING ONE is the idea that han and leia would get divorced. no. n o
their entire love story, their relationship development, their characterisation independently and together is about the persistence of love, loyalty, and bravery in the face of a war demanding everything from you. it’s about character and choices overcoming the tragedies that want to consume you whole. it’s about being drawn into the literal depths of hell and STILL choosing to fight for love because you have the courage know that it’s worth it. the courage to love in the face of despair is inherent to who they both are and they would never. NEVER. let each other go because of it. even if despair shook them to their very core and sent them reeling of in different directions, they would fight like hell to get back to each other. it’s who they are and any other story is ridiculous
2. reylo. whose idea was it to take a traumatised (I’ll give him that) unstable deluded fascist borderline sociopathic abuser and the woman he has been emotionally manipulating and psychologically torturing, whose trauma and instability he has knowingly taken advantage of just to cause her more pain, and decide this is a fucking romance. this is one of the worst ideas sw has ever had which is an impressive list
3. “all star wars is good star wars” no some star wars is really fucking bad what is wrong with you tiktok idiots. i literally lose a day off of my life when I hear those words
4. equating the sequels and rogue one in terms of quality, when rogue one is a fucking national medal piece of art and the sequels are some shitty youtube rant by a 13 year old kid who hates women
5. people who say fennec shand is straight

my favorite ship dynamic is betrayal. not when they betray each other but when one or both of them turn against their cause, their principles and/or loved ones for the other. bonus points if the person they're abandoning everything for didn't remotely expect it. ultimate declaration of love. "you mean more to me than everything i ever believed in. i am more loyal to you than my conscience. i love you more than the thing i would die for."

obsessed with the fact that instead of going back to the akademiya to seek help from professional medics when injured on his cases, cyno canonically prefers making the trip to gandharva ville to have tighnari personally tend to his wounds

happy birthday to our beloved space mom 💗 carrie is truly the only reason I was able to accept, learn to cope with and eventually embrace being bipolar. when I get scared about where my illness might take me I think of her and her strength, and it’s like a rock to cling to in a stormy sea
being bipolar is so intrinsic to who she is it shines through in her portrayal of leia in a way that is so unique and beautiful and sometimes terrifying. there’s no character in the world like leia and I love exploring how the shades of manic depression we see in her shape how extraordinary she is. so on carrie’s birthday I’m re-sharing this fic about how bipolar leia, han and the rebellion all collide together
~
It set them off on some runaway train of desire, and if Leia was riding a high then Han was being dragged along with her. But he would always dive in, headfirst, where she was concerned.
He knew, in the back of his mind, he knew it wasn’t going to last. The ever-present cloud hanging over them all reminded him of that. The terrifying threat of the Empire blurred into the increasing bounty on his head which somehow hid the fear that was actually keeping Han up at night.
He simply couldn’t believe Leia would be like this with him forever.
That was a fear so heart-breaking he could barely acknowledge even inside his own head. The worry that her feelings, as sincere as they were, were intensified by the high she was on – that she was letting herself lose control, release some tension. That at some point they would simply burn out, and she wouldn’t need him anymore.
(Han didn’t realise how badly he wanted her to need him, and not just his help for the Rebellion, until she had curled up contentedly on his chest that first night in the Falcon.)
Nothing was permanent, though – not in the Rebellion, not with Leia. Han knew by now that at some point she would crash, almost into herself, as if every ounce of light had been drained from her. Suddenly she would be listless, withdrawn, barely interested in talking, and… he didn’t know what he’d do if he woke up one day to indifference from her.
