thanks for running haysianrose! What’s your favorite rose ship (at least top 3). Do you have any headcanons for her?
@haysianrose is my baby, thank you for liking the blog!
my favourite rose ship is actually finnrose. T_T I WANT THE FLUFF. they would be so good together. my headcanon for this ship is rose keeping her feelings for finn to herself for years, just doing her own thing and being a good commander to general finn, and one day when there's peace in the galaxy he realises his feelings for her.
next would be gingerrose, the rose ship with the biggest fandom! so much creativity in the fandom. tros gave us crumbs for both hux and rose, but the fandom makes the most of it. hux the spy and rose the spy handler! love the possibilities of this fandom headcanon.
the post-tros stuff are great, but there were real gems in the post-tlj gingerrose fics on ao3. some darker, more daring stuff. that's when i started reading fics for the ship, when the fandom hadn't settled on a ship name yet, and i've loved seeing the ship shift and grow!
i can't choose one for third place, so i'll list a bunch of tiny rose ships i really like:
reyrose (rose/rey). this ship has SO much potential. i think about this anidala au edit i made a lot. one day, i might write the fic.
roselo (rose/kylo). once you get this ship, there's no going back. i must plug exile, vilify by the amazing thefudge because it's one of the first roselo fics ever written, so it's the blueprint for me. i go back to it often.
rose/poe. just think about this ship in your head for a minute, then read this for a taste. do you see the potential?
rose/kaydel and rose/jannah. gal pals and horse girls!
my very personal headcanons for rose:
the space equivalent of rice is her comfort food. and all fruits that taste like the snowgrapes she used to have on hays minor.
the moment she finds a permanent home after the star war, she sets up an altar for her parents and sister.
hays minor doesn't have a native human population. everyone came from other planets or only settled there a couple of generations ago. so rose has an ancestral homeland somewhere.
she grew up watching the space equivalent of disney princesses. that's why she's fascinated with leia being a princess.
she's always wanted pets, but hays minor was too harsh for pets. that's why in one of the books she named all the porgs on the falcon.
after the end of the star war, she finds a job authenticating precious metals from different planets and systems. she's valued for her skills in authenticating rare haysian smelt.
