Doran Martell: Have you ever considered that maybe some of these girls are not yours? Their mothers could just be claiming that you’re the father because they know you would give their bastard children a better life than they could.

Oberyn Martell:

Obara Sand: *fearsome warrior who aggressively hates Westeros*

Nymeria Sand: *has threesomes with identical female twins*

Tyene Sand: *poisons anyone and everyone who gets in her way*

Sarella Sand: *disguises herself as a man so she can study in Oldtown*

Oberyn Martell: Yeah I’m fairly certain that they’re all mine.

Trauma in Outlander

It kinda irks me how most people who haven’t watched Outlander probably only think of it as a raunchy romance show. Especially because Outlander is a whole lot better than other shows about how it presents certain things. 

From the shows I’ve watched Outlander is one of the best at presenting trauma and the effects of trauma on someone’s life. 

*Spoilers*

Almost every major character goes through a traumatic experience that is treated with severity and never really brushed away. 

Jaime’s trauma at the end of season 1 extends far into season 2 and has consequences on the plot as a whole (though I’m really not a fan of how they filmed this particular part). In my opinion, giving it a lot more weight and importance than rape in other “raunchy” shows. I’m looking at you game of thrones. 

Again, Faith is a trauma that Jaime and Claire share together and isn’t some void that they rally around, it’s a point of pain and honestly feels like the lowest point in their relationship. 

They even address Claire’s feelings on being in a war zone again, though it is only for one episode, at least they acknowledged it. 

Brianna’s rape much later in the show is also treated with importance and I think it’s amazing that this a show that tries to focus on survivors supporting each other, as well as showing the support network that exists around these characters. (Not gonna lie, Jaime verbally attacking Brianna later in that arc really hurt and definitely made me like it less.) 

Now what brought this all about was the recent season 5 arc having to do with Roger and Ian’s losses (I’m not finished with season 5 so please no spoilers). This arc definitely has a strange way of representing traumatic memories, though I found them engaging. I love, again, Roger and Ian pushing each other to live, to come back. “Famous Last Words” is an entire episode about dealing with a trauma that lots of characters have throughout the series: almost dying and losing the one you love. 

There’s a lot of problems with some of the trauma’s that Outlander presents to its audience but I don’t think any other show has had the guts to fully deal with its characters’ traumas, especially with such an ensemble cast.

Finn was an elite Stormtrooper, not a Janitor

Almost all enlisted soldiers are responsible for sanitation at least once in their careers unless given certain privileges that are not standard. It doesn’t matter if it’s fiction or in reality, most of the people serving in the military, will work sanitation at least once in their military career.

As a Stormtrooper, Finn was so damn good, both Hux and Phasma considered him the best in the entire Order. Phasma claimed he was Officer material. Hux wanted to make him a Captain one day! Finn carried the FN corps and his squad as the best soldier to the point where he could complete simulated missions on his own.

Fun fact, Finn might have “moped the floors” of The supremacy after the day was over, but what was his actual job on the ship?

He served as one of the executioners.

There are many things about Finn that he hasn’t divulged yet, mostly because he is ashamed of his time in the First Order and Lucasfilms refuses to give him a novel or comic series detailing his past.

The only reason Finn wasn’t already a ranking soldier by the time TFA rolled around was because of his compasion. During an earlier mission on a mining colony, Finn and his squad were ordered to gun down a large group of protesters. Finn was the only one that refused. The worst part is? Phasma had lied to Finn, telling him the mission was against the New Republic soldiers, not civilians.

That’s right! Jakku wasn’t his first mission! And this isn’t a continuity error, that story was told in the Before the Awakening novel. While everyone was celebrating a successful mission, Finn was back in the simulator alone, training and slowly coming to the rea that he could never be like the other Troopers. Both JJ and John were aware of this story.

Finn told Rey he made the choice not to kill for the First Order during his first mission, he never said that his first mission was on Jakku.

Finn tried to bury that mission down, but Slip’s death, accompanied with all of the innocent slaughter, brought him right back there in a fit of PTSD.

Why do so many assume Finn is some helpless cinnamon roll that needs rescuing? Finn is one of the best soldiers on both sides of the war.

Look back on both TFA and TLJ and pay attention:

Finn is an expert marksman and almost never misses a shot with any blaster or range weapon.

Finn is familiar with all of the weapons counting Starkiller base, the mini Death Star canon, and all Range and Melee weapons.

Finn memorized the layouts of both Starkiller base and Snoke’s ship the supremacy, to the point that he was able to re-create a map of them for the resistance. That, or he managed to make duplicates, which is equally as impressive since he was never caught for it.

Finn defeated Captain Phasma, the literal best soldier in the First Order.

Finn didn’t just hold Kylo off, he fought Kylo on even ground, impressed him with his lightsaber skills enough that forced Kylo to use even more of the dark side to beat him. Mind you this was Finn’s first fight against Kylo. How did Poe and Rey fair against Kylo their first time? Got caught without landing a hit.

Finn isn’t a coward

I’m not really sure how not wanting to murder innocent civilians = coward, and I don’t think I want to know.

I’m also not sure how wanting to not fight with a Volunteer militia after already saving the galaxy and getting your spine almost severed = coward.

Finn did not join the First Order. He was abducted from his family and forcibly indoctrinated into the FO.

Finn never joined the Resistance, but he damn sure helped them more than any other soldier.

Finn saved Poe from more torture and execution.

Finn saved Rey from the First Order Stormtroopers that were looking for BB8, then immediately after saved her from an air strike that only he recognized.

Finn, after rightly wanting to just live a life away from war, returned and warned Han Solo and the others about the attack on the New Republic, before he even knew Rey was gone.

Fin fought outnumbered alongside side Chewie and Han with a freaking lightsaber.

Finn planned out the mission to destroy Starkiller base with the Resistance and led it.

Finn prioritized the mission over saving Rey, and only decided to look for her when his portion of the mission was done.

Finn dueled Kylo Ren, grandson of Darth Extra.

Then right after that he planned to go find LUKE SKYWALKER on his own and warn Rey and Him About the attack on the fleet.

He then volunteered to save the fleet from death, because only he knows how to sneak in to the First Order’s ships.

Let’s not even talk about how the plan almost worked.

Or how Finn beat the helm out of other trained Stormtroopers and Phasma.

Or even how Finn motivated the resistance to take a final stand against the First Order.

And his suicide run to destroy the mini Death Star canon.

Let’s not forgot how everyone overlooks the fact that unless the Reysky theory is true, Finn had a closer and longer relationship with Han Solo than Rey did!

We have Han praising Finn, because he notices he’s clearly still going through something internally.

Han literally giving Finn fatherly advice, because he knows Finn’s already fallen hard for this independent, violent woman Rey, and Han has plenty of experience thanks to Leia with dealing with that stuff.

Finn fighting alongside Chewie and Han against a platoon of Stormtroopers and each of them protecting the other with their life.

Han encouraging Finn and giving him confidence when he was around people that would have shot him on sight if he was in his Stormtrooper armor.

Then there was the time Finn, Han and Chewie went on a suicide mission behind enemy lines together to destroy Starkiller base and save Rey.

Then of course there’s Han being Finn’s mood killer, and probably the only time I’ve seen Rey roll her eyes at Han.

And finally Finn did indeed react to Han’s death by choking out “Solo” and his fight with Kylo was more than just protecting Rey, but avenging his friend and comrade Han.

Let’s not forgot how Leia instantly hit it off with Finn, thanked him for saving Poe, and praised his bravery for leaving the First Order. In hindsight, Leia probably wished Kylo was more like Finn.

And let’s also remember how not only did Finn know exactly who Luke Skywalker was in TFA, but he was literally only person in the entire Resistance who stepped forward and wanted to fight Kylo with Luke. BARE FUCKING HANDED I MIGHT ADD!

My favorite thing to hear is how people like Kylo because he’s a victim of child abuse and he’s suffering with the thought of hurting others.

Kylo is NOT a victim of child abuse. Y’all can keep editing his wookipedia page to say he is, but all forms of canon disagree. Ben Solo had a happy and loving family, and he loved them. Kylo’s life went down hill when he sided with Space Hugh Hefner.

Wanna see a real abuse victim who’s dealing with the pain of watching innocents die?

Finn, the enslaved soldier who was stolen away from his family to fight for a fascist organization in a conflict he didn’t start, is having a PTSD panic attack because the closet thing he had to a friend just died in his arms and he had to watch as a group of innocent civilians, men, woman, and children, were slaughtered in front of him. Mind you, this is the second time according to canon he’s seen this happen.

I’m tired of Finn being erased in this franchise, because of some bull excuses to cover up their racial preference. Finn is the co-protagonist of the sequel movies, and that’s not changing, especially since JJ Abrams and John Boyega are back together for IX.
