Don’t look at this if you like Phasma
because I love her so much and this is gonna be painful to imagine..
Don’t imagine a tiny tiny blonde baby girl, happily babbeling in her crip, being lifted out of that crip by foreign hands
Don’t imagine the tiny baby girl getting a designation instead of her name
Don’t imagine all the horrible things that people did to the not-so-tiny girl while she grew up
Don’t imagine that there were no mirrors or shiny surfaces in the training facilities, so the girl and here companions even had their faces taken away from them to not have them develop any kind of identity
Don’t imagine the girl, thats a grown ass woman by now, talking to someone with a name and a face, they were allowed to wear, for the first time when the General informs her about her promotion
Don’t imagine the woman stepping into her room (her OWN room!) for the first time
Don’t imagine the woman finding a mirror in her bathroom
Don’t imagine the woman being scared of the face in the mirror at first
Don’t imagine that it takes the woman a minute to understand that that face belongs to her, that she even has a face
Don’t imagine the woman staring into that mirror for hours, desperatly trying to comprehend what she’s seeing, that her skin is light, that her hair is blond, that her eyes are blue
Don’t imagine the woman naming herself in that bathroom, because she has a face, she is a person, she can have a name now
Don’t imagine Phasma’s devotion to the First Order, because the Order gave her a face, made her a person, let her have a name
Don’t imagine Phasma being so damn grateful to the system that gave her everything, never understanding that the same system took everything and more away first.
Except when she does understand just that, pulls a FN-2187 and procedes to fucking burn the whole shitshow to the ground. Yeah. Do imagine that part.
