okay I need to ask: what would your paired pokemon be? (you can also open this up to followers if you feel unsure of Pokemon Canon)

Here’s an honest question: are people’s pokemons determinative of who that person is? Like....is it a daemon-type situation where your pokemon reflects something about you? If so, how is that determined? Or is this more of a, like, arranged BFF situation where your pokemon is assigned to you in childhood so you just continue bonding as time goes on until you could be opposites who complement each other or wonder twins? 

Because I have always felt a strong sense of kinship with Snorlax, but I have a feeling we would not be very successful as a pair. I’m very Into Evee as well because Evees are glam and mysterious and I love them.

am late to this (as ever) but 🌹?

your lateness is repaid by mine – but for you, it's never too late. You're intimidatingly smart, and your prose, even in oblique personal posts, is like the blade of a dagger. You're also unfailingly kind & very funny. It's a winning combination.

pomegranate, blueberry? (also a bad fruit combination!)

Thanks!! And you know, I see it around a lot but whenever I eat something allegedly flavored as such I can taste neither pomegranate nor blueberry. Go figure, I guess.

Pomegranate: When do you feel the most confident?

When I am completely in my element, or right after successfully doing something difficult. Or right after working out!

Blueberry: What do you want to dress up as for Halloween?

No plans as of yet!

thoughts and/or ficlet re: Finn/Rose/Poe?

I AM ALREADY INTO IT. I am into every permutation of this particular barbershop quartet.

Here’s how I see this going down:

Finn is just such a joy to see when he’s encountering something new so Rose and Poe start, like, divvying up experiences. “You get to take him to X, I’ll take him to see Y,” that sort of thing. But each time they try, like Rose will make plans to go to see Y and then Finn will be like, “Rey, are you free to go see Y? Jessica Pava, did you know about Y??” and then he’ll show up with like a small crowd of people who just were drawn by his sheer enthusiasm. So they’re not DATES, it’s more like whole posses of random people who are just pulled along by Finn’s enthusiasm. Rose has worked for the Rebellion for YEARS and she’s never even SEEN half of these people.

And so she and Poe end up planning, like, full scale Excursions. The whole Engineering department is going on a day trip to see a specific ice rock formation because Finn heard about it and his enthusiasm was catching. The pilots are going to take passengers to go see a solar flare because of the techs mentioned it to him in front of Poe.

And then Rey is like, “guys this is sad.” And she rolls her eyes at Rose and Poe a lot. And then she bullies everyone into just Not Showing Up at the next mass excursion and so it’s just the three of them and they make out.

THE END.

because you're razor-sharp and witty, your aesthetic is fantastic, your sense of literary craft is well-honed, you're a thoughtful critic, but not afraid to eviscerate something

<3! i do love evisceration.

gus and i have decided--well, gus has decided, i'm just rolling with it--that pretty much anyone we want to have a Force ghost gets a Force ghost, so what i'm saying is this paige-bodhi meeting headcanon hit me like a punch in the gut ;-;

To be completely honest, I headcanon just about every permutation of “the Rogue One peops get their Force Ghost on.” It helps me sleep at night. ;)
