@sonderiism asked: ‘ there are a lot of explosions for two people blending in. ’
ADRENALINE SURGES IN HIS CHEST: a through-line of panic setting every gasping breath alight. the air, thick with the smell of burning and singed rust, fills his lungs, makes it hard to think through the engine rev of his pulse. within seconds, this dusty underground corner of jedha will be flooded with imperial stormtroopers, scout troopers, combat assault tanks, tank troopers, AT-STs. there’s a 75,000 credit bounty on bodhi’s head, and finn ? well, finn’s worth nothing. he’s no one. all he knows, with a blazing, single-minded intensity he’s never felt about anything in his life is that HE DOESN’T WANT TO DIE. not here, on an imperial kyber mining planet caught in the crossfires of stormtrooper blasters. he’s not going to let either of them die, or be captured the fear of DISASSEMBLY, RECONDITIONING, REPROGRAMMING sears deeper than the fear of death and for once, he’s grateful for the mantra they drilled into his very marrow until it became every other waking thought: FN-2187, FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
❛ i’m gonna get us out of here, i swear. ❜ bodhi’s in no state to fight, whatever happened to him in saul gerrera’s cell with thatmonster, bodhi had screamed for what seemed like an eternity. and then he’d gone utterly silent, which had been infinitely worse than the screaming.
a wild thought appears to him suddenly, a flash of sheer desperation veined in either brilliance or madness. ❛ DO YOU TRUST ME ? ❜

I’m a huge sucker for characters that chose to be heroic. Like, no big prophecy, no great chosen one moment, just someone who consciously decided to do the right thing because someone fucking had to.
#BIG finn should have been the male protagonist of the sequel trilogy mood !#it wasnt a jedi or skywalker or resistance hero that catalysed all the events of the sequels#it was FINN. doing the right thing bc someone fucking had to#just a human. a nobody. a stormtrooper. a boy with a heart of gold and a moral compass made of steel
short starter call !
all of the stormtrooper scenes being cut from tlj and forgotten completely in tros ask me how i am haha :)

characters that go through hell yet still believe in the goodness of humanity, still hope for the best despite everything, refuse to let darkness consume them because someone somewhere is always going to be good are literally my favourite, because they give me that little hope too
#I. / / TO BECOME SO ABSOLUTELY FREE THAT YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS AN ACT OF REBELLION.#KILL the idea that being good is easier than being bad and giving into darkness#it takes so much more strength of character / of soul / of humanity to actively do good and choose to do good#it is infinitely harder to have hope; to keep fighting in the face of utter defeat. than it is to surrender

WINGRESISTANCE. // ⟨ POE. ⟩
poe has never liked snow. the cold seeps through the thick layer of his jacket and drags him back a good fifteen years. back to a time where he had an ambition bigger than he could wrap his hands around. he’s always been in the 𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐗𝐘 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒, but here he is always reminded of how he can never do it alone, and how misguided he was. there’s nothing left but a rumour, if not a particularly infamous one, of the one runner who blew up a whole factory to prove a point.
when they fall back to the bar, he keeps his back as close to the wall, an old habit he pick ed up from his year in the rough environs; to look out for himself but especially finn, who’s beside him, a bold shining beacon of goodness, saying wonderful things about him that seemed out of place in this environ. with one hand he catches finn’s arm, and with the other he rubs the back of his neck. ❛ i didn’t think you were, but i wouldn’t hold it against you if you 𝐃𝐈𝐃. ❜
❛ the 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 is, i did sneak away from home at sixteen, got myself on a transport here. ❜ his gaze slips over the other patrons and he sidles closer to prevent being overheard. ❛ but i didn’t do it because i wanted to smuggle spice; i did it because i wanted to 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 it. ❜
ONE OF THE THINGS FINN HAS REALIZED in his post-stormtrooper life : being human is messy. unruly. it’s a constant battle between WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOU WERE, the mistakes you’ve made, the expectations placed on you, the desperate hope that tomorrow will be better. it’s a lot of pressure for someone who has only known the FREEDOM of autonomy for a mere fraction of his existence. poe catches his arm and finn’s chest aches with the need to be just a little nearer.
here is a man full of stories, full of life and so alive. he wants to hear all his adventures, wayward or otherwise, wants to sit and listen with rapt attention to every last detail.
finn huffs a laugh, fond, amused. ❛ that sounds like something you’d do. ❜ finn leans into the space shared between them, smile tugging crooked at his lips in a way that’s vaguely reminiscent of another scoundrel they used to know. ❛ sometimes i think you’ve got more HAN SOLO than general leia in you. ❜
❛ SO IT’S AN INSTINCT, A FEELING . . . ❜ attempting to grasp the concept of the COSMOS ITSELF is like counting stars and grains of sandanywhere that you could begin feels like the wrong place to start. finn inhales, slows his pulse, slips into the lull and rhythm of his breathing, of the sound of his HEARTBEAT, KEEPING HIM ALIVE to a tempo that echoes the frequencies of the universe. HE CAN FEEL IT. he just doesn’t know how to speak it. ❛ how do you . . . how do you make it listen to you ? ❜

You’re in love with him, and he’s in love with you, and it’s like a goddamn tragedy, because you look at him and see the stars, and he looks at you and sees the sun. And you both think the other is just looking at the ground.

“Whatever you’re planning, it won’t work.” “I disagree,” Finn replied without hesitation. “I was told escape from the corps was impossible, yet here I am. I was told that training prevented anyone from turning against the Order, yet here I am. I was told that I was going to die on Jakku, yet here I am.” (The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster)
