formula 1 drivers as karaoke songs
yuki tsunoda: don’t go breaking my heart except he’s doing both parts because pierre didn’t want to stand up
alex albon: a thousand miles
george russell: i’m gonna be (500 miles) because idk if you guys know this but george russell is british (gasp!)
fernando alonso: fernando by abba but specifically this one edm version of it i’ve been obsessed with for the last 2 years. if the karaoke place doesn’t have it he will provide his own backing
lewis hamilton: total eclipse of the heart. he’s also actively turning around every time he sings “turn around” but it works because he is sir lewis hamilton 
esteban ocon: my heart will go on by celine dion. he sings it staring at pierre 
pierre gasly: bad blood by taylor swift. he is slut dropping and glaring at esteban who is staring smugly back 
max verstappen: good time by owl city and carly rae jepsen because he wants to get it over with so he chooses a song that’s not TOO awful but is bland enough that by the time it’s over people forgot he sang at all 
charles leclerc: i want it that way. he loves it. i bet he listens to this song constantly. during race weekends you’ll hear a quiet “NOW NUMBER FIVE” coming from his drivers room. he chooses the song during karaoke so he can scream it
lance stroll: don’t stop believing. this man thinks he is finn hudson and also i think he’s fully powered by the belief of one man (lawrence)
carlos sainz: hair by little mix. he’s got a choreographed dance too but dw it’s SUPER no homo he just thinks his hair is amazing and interprets the song as supporting that
lando norris: angels by robbie williams. everyone begs him not to but by the time he’s feeling weak and his pain walks down a one way street everybody is feeling it and groovy and loving angels instead ❤️  
nico hülkenberg: sweet caroline. this man has no personality other than being tall and german and he wants to make sure you know that
zhou guanyu: turn the beat around. he can hit those notes and he looks good doing it prove me wrong.
sergio perez: before he cheats by carrie underwood because he very emphatically wants people to know he did NOT cheat on his wife because clearly she didn’t do any of these things so it didn’t happen! also a banger
kevin magnussen: hit me with your best shot (kmag edition) aka he takes it so personally anyway it’s the best performance of the night 
logan sargeant: jolene. idk anything about this man but i believe in my heart he would belt out dolly 
valtteri bottas: love shack by the b-52s. he also listens to this song unironically on his own
honorary grid members (third drivers and recent pensioners):
daniel ricciardo: wannabe by the spice girls. it’s the only song he has memorized and he knows all the parts. he’s going for that second red bull seat he’s got incentive and he’s gotta get with christian’s friends (wife)
mick schumacher: fuck you by lily allen because he’s got so much rage but he’s still so polite! 
sebastian vettel: hey jude and it’s not even the single version it’s the full 7 minute 11 second one but no one minds because 1) it’s seb 2) it means they don’t have to listen to latifi sing 
nicholas latifi: absolutely anything by britney but it’s always a car crash (ha) so it’s queued at the end and there’s just not enough time to get to it so the world lives to see another day
romain grosjean: i will survive

the one where you finally tell him (poe dameron x reader)
summary: after an emotional battle, poe asks you a simple question - your answer is a bit more complicated than he intended (requested by anon!) 
also ft. queen zorii bliss 
this is set a little bit after the celebrations at the end of rise of skywalker. also i have been high low key in love with keri russell since i saw her in waitress which isn’t relevant to this but i felt the need to let u all know anyways. enjoy!
- jazz
Tumblr media
The air was warm; filled with laughter and chatter and joy, but still with a sense of mourning for those that had been lost. The post-battle celebrations had begun to fizzle out a few hours ago, leaving a remaining few around a campfire. You were sat between Poe and Finn, a beer in your hand and a tired smile on your face as you chattered away.
The fire was still crackling away in front of you, leaving a burning warmth on your skin and an orange glow cast across your features. A few embers fell from the flames as the evening wind blew across the base, a nice contrast against the heat of the fire. You occasionally turned to glance up at Poe; his dark eyes were tired, deep-set with the stress of the last few years. He had a beer in one hand, and his other splayed out on your knee. 
Now that the war was over - and you still couldn’t believe it - you’d actually had a chance to think about your feelings for him. Of course, they’d always been there but they’d increased ten fold over the last week. Watching him step up to the role of general and lead the fight against the First Order had reminded you why you’d fallen for him in the first place. 
‘So, what was Poe like before he left Kijimi?’ Finn asked, curious eyes falling on Zorii.
She was on Poe’s otherside, gloved hands clasped tightly in her lap, the rusty glow of the fire reflecting off of her helmet. You couldn’t see her face - only her eyes. But, thanks to the burning glow of light before you, they were glowing a bright blue, occasionally crinkling at the sides whenever Poe said something funny. 
‘You think he’s a pain in the ass now,’ Zorii replied, ‘but you should have met him then.’
‘Please,’ Poe snorted, ‘you love me really.’
He took his hand from your leg, freeing up his arm to elbow his former comrade in the side. You immediately missed his touch, but pushed the thought to the back of your head. You weren’t his - you weren’t with him. What right did you have to get jealous? 
Still, you couldn’t deny that he was closer with you than he was with anybody else. Poe had always been a physical person but more-so with you. It was standard for him to have his hand on your back or resting the back of his neck; he’d sometimes intertwine your fingers when you walking to-and-from places and he loved to hug you. Any outsider would have assumed that you were a couple. 
‘Keep telling yourself that, Dameron.’ Zorii shot back, thinning her eyes at him. 
‘You’re calling me the pain in the ass, but I distinctly remember you being a nasty piece of work too.’ Poe reminded her.
‘That’s not the impression I got a few days ago when you asked to kiss me.’
A shower of beer ejected from your mouth as you choked, showering Poe straight in the face. He blinked in shock for a moment, eyes wide as he wiped the alcohol from his face, dragging his hand down the back of your shirt to dry it off. He gave you a frown, hand moving to your shoulder. 
‘You good there, Y/N?’ He asked, giving your arm a light squeeze.
‘Yeah,’ you cleared your throat, ‘sorry - the beer...It went up my nose.’ 
‘Happens to the best of us,’ Zorii chuckled. 
You stood up, dusting your hands on your jeans. ‘I’m gonna go...clean my X-Wing. See you guys in the morning?’
A chorus of yeah, see you soon’s echoed from the group as you waved goodbye. 
You gave them one last slightly pained smile before trudging away, boots sinking into the wet ground. A few splatters of mud splashed up your jeans - you hadn’t even realised how heavy your footsteps were. You also hadn’t realised that Poe was following behind you, jogging to catch up with you.
‘Hey!’ He called. He grabbed your arm, forcing you to face him as he planted his hands on your shoulders. ‘Why’d you lie?’
‘What?’ You furrowed your brow. ‘Poe, I didn’t lie.’
‘You’re going to clean your X-Wing?’ The words rolled off of his tongue in a mocking tone. 
‘Yeah, I am.’
‘Yyou don’t have an X-Wing.’ He ruffled your hair, fingers lingering slightly as he moved a few strands away from your eyes.
‘Oh, yeah. That.’ You dropped your eyes to the ground, a sheepish look on your face. You had an innate inability to lie to Poe Dameron. ‘I suppose that might get in the way of my task.’
He put two fingers under your chin, guiding your face up to look at him. He looked beautiful under the late night glow of the moon; his brown eyes were gorgeous, his signature smirk more stupidly attractive than it ever had been before. You just wanted to kiss his dumb face. 
‘So, why’d you actually leave?’ Poe enquired. ‘Not that I’m doubting your ability to clean a jet that doesn’t exist.’ 
Curse Poe Dameron and his ironclad logic.
You thought about telling him - just for a split second. It was a lingering thought, the kind that flashes in and out of your mind before you could properly consider it. A few hours ago, you didn’t even know if the pair of you were going to make it out the battle alive. Then, as though you had an angel and a devil resting on your shoulders, a tiny voice reminded you that he wouldn’t have asked to kiss Zorii if he liked you. 
‘I’m just tired.’ You lied.
‘Let me rephrase my question,’ Poe said. ‘What made you feel so bad that you had to lie about why you were leaving?’
‘It’s dumb.’ You muttered.
‘Hey, it’s me. I’m not gonna judge you.’ He reminded you. His hands were still on your shoulders, thumbs occasionally rubbing tiny circles on your skin. ‘And if I do, it comes from a place of love.’
There it was: love. The friendship kind of love. The comrade kind of love. The circumstantial kind of love. Every kind of love that a person could possibly feel except the kind you wanted. The kind you needed.
‘I...I like you, Poe.’ You finally said, a bumbling of words building up in your chest. Here it came. A whole ass speech. A year’s worth of feelings, broken like a dam.
‘And I have for a really long time and I thought that maybe, just maybe, you could like me too, because you’re always touching me and laughing at my jokes when they are clearly not funny, and after the battle when I thought we were toast, I promised myself that if we made it out alive, I would tell you - but then I saw you with Zorii and I realised that you like her and not me and it feels like someone just skewered my heart with a lightsaber and served it to me on a plate like a fucked up hors d'oeuvres but I’m fine-’
‘- Jesus!’ Poe cut you off, violently shaking you by the shoulders. ‘You gotta breathe, baby.’
His eyes were just as wide as yours, both of you like a deer in headlights. Having realised that a simple I like you would have sufficed, you wanted to crawl up and die. 
‘Oh, god.’ You whispered under your breath, cheeks burning bright red. ‘I am so sorry-‘
‘- are you daft?’ he took your face in his hands, pressing his forehead to yours. ‘I - that’s what I’ve always wanted to hear. I thought it was blatantly obvious that I was in love with you.’
‘I -’ you couldn’t quite find the words. ‘I love you too.’ 
‘There we go then.’ 
‘But what about Zorii?’ You asked. ‘She said that you asked to kiss her-’
‘- it’s a figure of speech.’ He chuckled quietly, breath tickling your face. ‘Don’t you remember the time that you asked Leia if you could kiss her?’
Your chest hurt slightly at the mention of the general’s name. You knew that you were going to face many losses in battle, but not Leia. She seemed like the kind of person who would turn up at death’s door and tell it to fuck off. 
‘Sometimes people say it and they mean it,’ Poe continued. ‘Like this: can I kiss you?’
A small laugh escaped your lips as his hand moved to the back of your neck, pulling your face towards him. A shiver ran down your spine as your lips finally brushed in a soft kiss, one of your hands tangling in his curly hair. Poe moved to hold you by the hips, arms wrapping your torso as he lifted you off the ground.
‘You love me,’ you murmured against his lips. ‘Who would have thought?’
‘And you love me,’ He reminded you, ‘I’m going to remember that speech for a long time.’
You let out a groan, hiding your face in his shoulder as he dropped you back down to the ground. Pulling you towards him, Poe buried his head in your hair to hide his chortles, bodies swaying side to side as you caught your balance
‘I’m never gonna live it down, am I?’
‘Never.’

RISE OF SKYWALKER
IT HAS BEEN SEEN MY FRIENDS... LET’S GO
IT WAS A LOVE STORY ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU. GUYS. I AM SO... ALIVE RIGHT NOW I 
okay that opening scrawl i laughed so hard... THE DEAD SPEAK!!
‘supreme leader kylo ren’ will never not be funny
OKAY OPENING WITH KYLO I SCREAMED.... HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.... HOW MUCH
okay and his ruthless hell bent search for this silly macguffin.... we love a demonic legend
and ALSO his determination to kill the past!!!!!! HE HAS LITERALLY BEEN CIRCLING THIS THE WHOLE SERIES
look, i am biased because kylo is my favourite and he has been the one thing that’s been consistently written and done across this trilogy and i’m very spoiled because i got everything i wanted here
but KYLO REN. KYLO REN!!!!!!!!!!!
laughed my ASS off at the snoke in the tube and palpatine being like ‘surprise bitch.... bet you thought you’d seen the last of me’
laughed decidedly LESS at ‘i’ve been every voice you’ve ever heard in your head’
look this isn’t going to be a review.... just my thoughts really and this decidedly isn’t a comparison with the last jedi which it seems like everyone wants to do in a weird victorious kind of way
but kylo killing snoke/his abuser in tlj was a terrifying powerful moment to watch and i loved it fiercely and still do, and for kylo to see that he hadn’t done that at all.... and that evil still abides.... fucking nightmare, honestly
and that’s when i started getting a feeling in the back of my head because look he is so determined to kill the past
(let the past die)
that he will kill himself as well to do it. that has always been kylo’s character since the very beginning. SO!!!!!
also the structural integrity of palp’s hideaway.... not great
palps: kill rey heh heh
kylo: i am absolutely not gonna do that but okay
omfg when kylo was like ME AND MY KNIGHTS OF REN ARE GOING HUNTING
i cannot explain to you how HILARIOUS the knights of ren are to me
they do nothing! they say nothing! they just stand around and look stupid in their stupid helmets..... i laughed every single time they were on screen
it’s like kylo’s uselessness manifests into what 6? 7 more useless things. the Knights of Ren
‘we’re going hunting’ are you TWELVE YEARS OLD
this film felt like it was going a million miles an hour, all the time, and that started for me in that first scene in the falcon which was going all over the place? for some reason?
anyway THERE’S A MOLE IN THE FIRST ORDER and i know it is hux but i kind of wanted it to be kylo on the side.... though i know he is not capable of any such subterfuge. about as subtle as a wrecking ball... and my SON
loved the comraderie with poe and finn. i liked the lived-in feeling of the relationships between the rebellion characters this time around
felt like they had that new alien dude in the falcon for no reason and for two seconds like... why
(to sell toys, of course. the same reason why they have a new tiny droid)
but that of course is just the first in a long line of new and underdeveloped characters in this movie. but you know what? i can accept this because the core emotional story was strong and also, it’s star wars? a big sprawling mess is what it has always, always been. ANYWHOMST
REY IN THE FOREST LEVITATING!!!!
the white outfit!!! how at one she is with nature??? SORRY IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
and okay the specific framing of rey and rey’s power in this movie as not only a part of the force but so specifically as a woman using the force... like the power of empathy! the power of healing!!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL WHATEVER
when she called leia her MASTER? MY HEART
THE POWER OF WOMEN!!!
Tumblr media
on the flip side, doesn’t it kind of feel like poe has a problem with women?
like as soon as he started riffing with rey i was like GET A JOB STAY AWAY FROM HER
but in hindsight i feel kind of better about them and their interactions... more on that later
FINN! finn in this movie was WONDERFUL
(except it annoyed me how they had the whole ‘there’s something i want to say to you’ and never had him say it... like even if he was going to say he loved rey okay just don’t leave it hanging like that?)
FORCE FUCKING SENSITIVE!!!!!!
look i really think they did they best they could with a really difficult job in incorporating leia and previous footage into this movie. it wouldn’t have felt right without her and the scenes were a bit clunky but again, a very very difficult thing to do
LEIA AND REY’S RELATIONSHIP..... MY HEART HURTS
i love that rey’s storyline has depth and motivation and kylo’s storyline is literally revolving around rey like she’s the sun
like i literally love this. MORE OF THIS!!!
FORCE BOND STILL EXISTSSSSSSSS
KNEW IT CALLED IT CLAIMED IT LOVE IT
the soft gasp rey does whenever kylo is about to show up for forceskype i love this song
the knights of ren standing around while kylo’s helmet got fixed omfg they are the stupidesttttt
kylo: maybe i don’t want to wear the helmet
the knights of ren: maybe shut the fuck up 
Let’s Go To Burning Man
i actually kind of liked seeing these people doing their own cool cultural thing. like again this movie went at lightspeed but i did enjoy that. what’s better than this? just aliens being dudes
when rey talked to that little girl and she asked her last name i was like LOLLLL HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
as soon as lando showed up it was like ‘oh it’s lando’
‘i offered you my hand’
‘I’LL OFFER YOU MY HAND AGAIN’ 
WHY DID HE SAY THIS... LIKE IT WAS A PROPOSAL
I WAS SCREECHING SORRY... WOW.
i have never really found C3PO funny but um he was going off in this movie... when they all looked at him and then he looked away I CACKLED
and the mind wipe like whew man... one day we’re gonna have a conversation about Droids And The Uncomfortable Conclusions About Droids in these movies
but also, i wish they’d had the guts to stick with it and not restore his memory because, what a symbol for the past dying and the end of a saga? like 3PO has been there since the start!! the star wars live in his memory banks ???? and R2 as well i suppose
don’t think too long about this cause then you realise that for some reason they’re still using like 80 year old iphones and R2 and 3PO should be decommissioned for scraps
WHEN HE TOOK THE NECKLACE OFF HER I FOUND IT HOT I FOUND IT SEXY I FOUND IT UMMMM
Tumblr media
the sand was a cool visual thing but then THE SNAKE
it felt so GREEK HERO MYTH but then rey stops the script!!
AND DOESN’T FIGHT IT
AND SHE HEALS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as soon as rey healed that snake i was like
‘kylo ren is that snake’
blah blah dagger blah
the sith language and being forbidden actually interests me. i want more proper sith lore
basically i want a revan and bastila movie. make it so
keri russell was WASTED in this movie
but that one scene with her and rey where they had Mutual Respect was so much better and more important than anything she did with poe
poe is like... sure i guess. i mean i liked him better in this movie than tlj and i liked him more as the movie when on but hmmst 
but hey if i get to have a kylo then the poe people can have i poe. i begrudge no one
except, uh.... hux people. y’all really got done this movie huh. ouch
double as bad cause there was literally no point to the new general character. should have just been hux and then had him die in the final battle?
but i laughed when he was like ‘i don’t want you to WIN. i want kylo to LOSE’
THAT’S KING PETTY 
omfg when kylo was like ‘where are you’ and then saw the vader mask and was like ‘oh you’re in my room’
SCREECHED
KYLO’S EVIL BOARD MEETING
LAUGHED MY ASS OFF
WHEN HE SMACKED THAT DUDE TO THE ROOF
sorry the first order is a startup. not even an ‘evil’ one especially because they’re all just a bit evil 
when kylo reacted to that guy saying ‘we should take more children’ and the small thread winding through this movie about children being indoctrinated and rey and ben stopping THAT cycle.. important to me and i wish it had been bigger but i was glad it was there 
all kylo did in the first half of this movie was chase after his girlfriend and tell her how they were meant to be together and that he wasn’t going to kill her even though he should. i love one stupid man
kylo flying his ship at rey deliberately wanting to ‘push her’ and her jumping over it and crashing the whole damn thing
Tumblr media
and then him just getting up and walking out of the wreck not a scratch on him
like some kind of hero in a romance novel in his stupid cape lmfaoaoooo... you love to see it
THE PUSH/PULL WITH THE TRANSPORT?
THEIR POWERRRRRR
and then rey with her fuckin LIGHTNING
as soon as that happened i was like, oh lol rey palps then....
but also, THE LOOK OF WONDER BUT ALSO VICTORY ON KYLO’S FACE
ADAM DRIVER SIR
okay to be honest the whole soujourn to the like space swiss village is kind of a blur to me
keri russell was wasted, did i say that already?
although okay that bit when poe was like ‘were you a stormtrooper? were you a scavenger?’ maybe give him his rights
when kylo said WE’RE TWO PARTS OF THE SAME BEING
A DYAD
TWO WHO ARE AS ONE 
two? WHO ARE? AS ONEEEEEE
NEITHER WHOLE WITHOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING OTHER I 
‘i never lied to you’ AND HE NEVER HAS AND NEVER FUCKING DIDDD!!!!!
all the stormtroopers getting knocked back and kylo steadying himself with the force lol... it’s these little things ok 
JODIE COMER? 
rEy PaLpAtInE
I LAUGHED MY ASSSS OFFFFFFF
like... sure jj. sure
look, i have always understood and respected the choice to make rey ‘nobody’ (like anakin was! the force just makes who it needs to create the balance!) but if rey was going to be anyone i guess.... this is the best choice?
and i think there IS merit in the story going from ‘person burdened with legacy vs person with no legacy’ to ‘person with a legacy of good turning evil and person with a legacy of evil turning good’
i gotta think longer and more about this but. besides its inherent silliness i do not hate this ‘twist’ 
this movie jumped from planet to planet like a ping pong ball! it felt a bit jarring but my mum pointed out that the galaxy IS big and they’ve never really done this before and i was like hmmm Points Were Made
THE FIGHT ON THE OLD DEATH STAR
KYLO DODGING REY’S SWIPES AND NOT EVEN PULLING HIS SABER UNTIL HE HAD TO
THEN ONLY FIGHTING DEFENSIVELY
and her DESPERATION
ALMOST LIKE SHE’S FIGHTING HERSELF
BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO HALVES! OF ONE WHOLE!
and then oh my god
‘you can’t go back to her (leia). just like i can’t’
and the VICTORY in his eyes and the acknowledgment of the truth in hers
because THEY ARE THE SSSAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEE
when rey SCREECHED and force threw finn back.... oh fuck
(sidebar the way finn was so determinedly THERE for rey this whole movie... even when she said about the sith throne... his faith in her didn’t waver im verklempt)
WHEN HE DISAPPEARED AND REY LOOKED BACK HORRIFIED
because he can’t go! because the fight is what they have and what she’s clinging on to!
AND THEN HE WALKED UP OUT THE WATTTTEERRRRRRRRR
absolute romantic nonsense.
AND THEN
SHE KILLED HIM
SHE KILLED HIM!!!!!!
SHE KILLED KYLO REN WITH HIS OWN DAMN CRUCIFIX SWORD
I COULD NOT
BE LEEEEAAAF
THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM ENDGAME SINCE THE START AND IT’S HERE TWO THIRDS THROUGH THE FUCKING LAST MOVIE?
A GIFT. LICH RALLY A GIFT TO MEEEEE
leia gave her LIFE for her SON I...
this was the only moment in the movie where i started to get some tears cause like... IT WAS JUST SO MUCH
AND REY.... TOOK LEIA’S ENERGY THROUGH THE FORCE... 
AND SHE PUT HER HANDS ON HIM
AND SHE HEALED HIM
SHE’S A SCAVENGER
SHE FIXES BROKEN THINGGGGSSSSS
Tumblr media
HE DIED BECAUSE SHE KILLED HIM 
AND HE LIVES BECAUSE SHE HEALED HIM... 
WHEN. WILL. YOUR. FAVES?????????
‘I WANTED TO TAKE YOUR HAND. BEN’S HAND’
take my hand? take my whole life too
IIRENGOWENRGKLJEWNGFKJBKJBKJBKJLB
ALL THE BEAUTIFUL WINDSWEPT CLOSE UP SHOTS OF KYLO’S BEAUTIFUL WINDSWEPT FACE IN THIS MOVIE. I WAS BREATHLESS
KYLO STNADING ON THE EDGE OF THAT SEA WITH THE WIND GOING AND HIS LEG OUT LIKE THE STUPID BYRONIC HERO HE IS
HEATHCLIFF? HEATHCLIFF ON THE MOOR?
HAN’S HAND ON BEN’S FACE
HE CALLED HIM. DAD
Tumblr media
‘kylo ren is dead’
OHHHHHH BABBBBYYYYYY
look i loved the crossguard saber but i understood why it had to go
and like ben shedding the persona he had built as a defence mechanism... rey killed that part of him? powerful too powerful
i know i have rose coloured glasses because i care about the core story of kylo/rey enough and i’m passionate enough about it but okay the way they are entwined with one another on the journey to identity is the greatest thing a silly blockbuster series has maybe ever given me 
it’s tam lin. IT’S FAIRY TALE NONSENSE AND I LOVE IT 
i 100% know in my bones they wanted the scene with han to be leia but they obviously couldnt have that so that was fine. when ben turned his head around and heard her and felt her.... DONT LOOK AT ME
the most emotional moment in this movie was when chewie heard about leia and broke down and collapsed and screamed
:(
us too buddy. damn 
rey stealing kylo’s ship and yeeting away lmfao
and when she went back to ach-to and burned it and was like IM STAYING HERE 4EVA >:(
she’s literally the exact same stupid reckless as kylo and i love
rose was wasted in this movie. very annoying
i DID laugh when they said ‘we should pull a holdo manoeuvre’ like of course that’s the one thing jj took from tlj. ohhhh jj
loved finn meeting the ex stormtrooper lady. i always felt like the one weakness of tlj is that it dropped this thread of finn’s indoctrination that i thought was being woven alongside rey and kylo’s issues with their childhoods in force awakens. the look of wonder on his face when she said that the whole battalion defected.... and saying the force lead them to do it like it lead him... and you could see john boyega feeling that with his whole heart!!!
i laughed at palps’ fleet of star destroyers that like all have death star capabilities now? so dumb
and also, a star destroyer is basically an aircraft carrier.... do you think the people who make star wars realise the empire is america? no...??? alright imma head out
missed opportunity for a shot of jar jar or a gungan when the galaxy fleet showed up like those towboats at dunkirk. to be HONEST
where did sheev palps find that stadium of goons? are they on retainer?
yeah so palpatine’s lair is the underworld and rey is eurydice and ben is orpheus. YEAH. YEAHHHHHHHHH
LEIA WAS TRAINED AS A MFING JEDI
THAT FLASHBACK WAS EVERYTHING FUCK
LEIA’S SABER!!!!!!!!!

PALPATINE CALLING THEIR BOND ‘AS POWERFUL AS LIFE AND THE FORCE ITSELF’
NOT FOR GENERATIONS HAS THEIR BEEN A DYAD LIKE THEM!!!
FUCKING
DESTINED
BITCH
THEY ARE EACH OTHER’S DESTINY? WOW SORRY.... WOWOWOOWOOWOWOOWOWOW
ben versus his idiot knights of ren.... yeah i love my son
sorry rey had a vision of her AND kylo sitting on the throne but the throne is.... one seat? what are the logistics here? her on his lap? him on her lap? both of them sitting on an armrest like awkward kids taking a photo with santa?
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES COMPLETELY DISTRACTED
THE LITTLE SHRUG BEN DID WHEN HE GOT THE LIGHTSABER AND WAS LIKE ‘YEAH SORRY NOW YOU’RE GONNA DIE’
I SCREAMED. IM LOVE HIM
rey giving ben the saber through the force bond!!
ACROSS SPACE??? LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS THE WORLD
palpatine taking, SPECIFICALLY, the power of rey and kylo’s BOND to strengthen himself because it is THE STRONGEST THING IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE???????? CANONICALLY????????
REY AND BEN FIGHTING WITH LUKE AND LEIA’S SABERS
FUCKING... I FUCKING....

THE JEDI SPEAKING TO REY! OBI WAN! QUI GON FUCKIN JINN
yoda is there too
AND THE POWER OF THE JEDI FLOWING THROUGH HER!!!!!
god her power.... SHE AMAZES MEEEE
(initially i thought ben was gonna kill palps for rey because of the whole The Sith Live in My Killer thing and then she’d have to kill him but HOISTED ON HIS OWN PETARDDD)
palpatine:
Tumblr media
and the power was too much and it killed her ooooof
(the power of being a legacy... of channeling all that has some before!!! these movies get so ridiculously meta sometimes. best believe we’ll talk about THIS)
BUT HERE COMES BEN
BENJY BOYYYYY
his hair JUST long enough to be scraggly and devastating
literally dragging a broken leg 
ADAM DRIVERS PHYSICALITY IN THESE MOVIES (WELL ALWAYS) (BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THIS ROLE)
and he knows
WHAT HE HAS TO DOOOO
HE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING HE LOVED ENOUGH TO DIE FOR
I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THIS 
when he held her body holy shit... HOLY SHIT, GUYS
Tumblr media
FULL CIRCLE????CVMSDFJNVDSLKFJVLDKJFVLKJDBFV
A PIETA.... A FUCKING PIETA
OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE
and his heartbroken face.... stumbling back to her... oh my good goddd

‘I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO BUT I’M AFRAID TO DO IT’
HE DIED FOR HER

she saved his life! and she saved the world! and he quietly gave his life to her, for her?
this humble act of love? PURE LOVE?
WHAT WONDERFUL AND TERRIBLE THINGS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. 
THAT THEY PUSH EACH OTHER TO
THIS TRILOGY WAS MADE FOR ME AND ONLY ME. THERE’S NO OTHER EXPLANATION
and her look of JOY and she said, ‘BEN’
Tumblr media
look. i have been on the record for YEARS as saying my dream endgame would be for rey to kill kylo and for him to be forceghost with her always
AND SOMEHOW UMMMM THIS IS BETTER?
1. SHE DID! KILL HIM! AND THEN BROUGHT HIM BACK
2. AND THEN HE WILLINGLY DIED FOR HER? 
3. AND NOW SHE CARRIES HIM WITH HER ALWAYS??????
when his body faded and leia’s did too..... wo OOOOOOOOOOWWWW
SHE TOOK
HIS FUGGIN
LAST NAMMMEMELRKNWELKJBNLKJBFLKJBFKLRBJKLERJB
I’M SORRY THIS MOVIE WAS MADE FOR ME. KYLO REN WAS BREWED UP F O R MEEEEEEE
listen. there is a video game where a lady’s boyfriend gets killed and his soul goes into a sword and she carries the sword around with her
THAT IS THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
I CARRY YOUR HEART I CARRY IT IN MY HEART BITCH??????
Tumblr media
THE FUCKING ORANGE SABER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and look. ben’s story is allowed to be just about rey and rey’s is allowed to be bigger than just him. that’s EQUALITY. that’s JUSTICE
look i know it’s very douchey of me but i wrote this paragraph about a character of mine in a book i wrote and it is like..... LIKE IT’S JUST KYLO REN OKAY
Tumblr media
he was never gonna be someone who could settle down and live like a quiet life of monkhood or whatever luke was doin on ach-to.... 
okay when finn poe and rey hugged at the end okay I DID FEEL SOMETHING IN MY COLD DEAD HEART
FINN JUST LOVES THEM! SO MUCH! THERE IS SO MUCH LOVE IN THAT BOY’S HEART
and probably up until that moment i hadn’t really cared about having a Trio in the new movies like we had han and leia and luke but that hug had me feeling like... okay... Friendship IS Great
okay back to kylo, i tweeted this but i’ll repeat here: my favourite arc in media has always been snape’s, to me it is the perfect ‘redemption’ arc (and yes this will make people scrunchy-nosed angry, so i will point out: redemption to me has always meant redemption in the eyes of the reader/viewer, not in-world, this is true for anakin/vader too, who also has a nearly flawless ‘redemption’ arc) but now it’s kylo solo ren ben
I LOVE HIM. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CAN’T STAND IT A LITTLE
HE FELL IN LOVE? AND IT SAVED HIM
HE WAS LOST AND HE FOUND HIS OTHER HALF
AND HE DIED BECAUSE SHE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY IT ALL
CARRY THE LEGACY WHEN HE COULDN’T!!!
IT’S JUST SOSSOOSOOSOSOOSSO
i want a funko pop of ben in his comfy jumper running to fuck sheev palps the fuck up
i don’t even LIKE funko pops
naboo has a lot to answer for. literally all of these problems come from naboo
sure this movie was a big ole mess and i surely can’t wait for the good old disk horse
but i’m riding this high for as long as i can
because it was always about LOVE! LOVE CAN IGNITE THE STARS
so sure, this movie pandered terribly. but i am one of the people it pandered to and i am HAPPY INDEED
remember when maz kanata was like ‘your parents aren’t coming back but there is someone who still could’ YEAH IT WAS BEN!!!!!

I made a post earlier tonight about having some big worries going into watching The Rise of Skywalker.
I’ve seen it now.
Here are some thoughts.
I was worried that I might hate the movie, or that it might ruin Star Wars for me a bit, but I’m glad to say, I was wrong.
I hated that moment from the movie A WHOLE FUCKING LOT.  Like it was as bad as I feared it would be.  But snip about ten seconds out of the movie and I’d be OK with to loving the rest of it.
The thing is, the kiss didn’t have to happen.  And Rey initiated it, tbh. So yeah.  I really hated it and want an edit of the movie where Ben saves her, she says “Ben!” and then he just dies.  Thanks.
I have a lot I wanna say on this topic, but for most media, I think you need to find the good, the things you love, and be willing to discard the things you don’t like about it.  Like I said in my post earlier tonight, I DID love so many of the character moments, though I wish there were more.  I loved getting to spend time with the trio as a trio finally.  I loved 3P0 getting a little arc, I loved seeing so many old favorites again, even briefly, I loved THE VOICES SCENE so, so much (but was a little sad they didn’t canonize The Old Republic there, they could have so easily).  I liked all the new characters a bunch.  I was a bit mixed on all the Palpatine stuff, but thought overall, it worked.
I agree with the critics that it felt rushed, and almost manic in places.  But even so, the two and a half hours FLEW by.  I wish they’d just taken a bit more time here and there.
I thought the Leia stuff... almost worked.  They did the best they could with what they had, though I think even if you didn’t know what they were doing there, you could tell something off.  It almost felt like... bad video game writing with her dialog.  But, I appreciate what they did do, and it was a fitting tribute.
I suppose that if they had to redeem Kylo Ren, at least it was the power of Leia Organa and the memory of Han Solo that did it.
I’ll still never like Kylo Ren, or Ben Solo.
I have a lot of thoughts still brewing in my head about Finn and his role in the movie.  I felt like he’d really matured, like he truly loved both Poe and Rey.  I kind of hated that they gave Poe a female love interest, even if it was light and even if it was Keri Russell, who I think is great.  I did really like Jannah. 
I think that the movie was kind of trying to set up “What do you think Finn did next?  Did he continue to pursue Rey, or did he find a new attraction in Jannah?” question, though I’m glad that they didn’t at any point push a possible Jannah/Finn thing except show that they really work well together.  So if you want to go that way, it’s totally plausible.
I feel like they also wanted to set it up without saying that Rey... wanted Finn to tell her the thing he never had.  I think she knew, I think she wanted to hear it, though she also knew she was attracted to Kylo.  I think the thing is though, if Ben had lived (as Ben, not Kylo), that’s who she would have chosen.  Though she has feelings for Finn, as well.  But we’ll never know, I suppose, if anything comes of that.  Finn deserves better than to be someone’s second choice, so I think that if Finn and Rey did happen after this movie, it wouldn’t be soon, or easily.  I guess, in the end, I still ship it.  
And also still Finn/Poe, because there’s no way you can tell me he wasn’t anything but jealous in the scene when Hux nearly killed them.  Poe Dameron is Bisexual and also he loves Finn.
I also really loved that there were a couple of FinnReyPoe moments in there, including a literal “Finn has two hands” moment, and finally, finally that very long, deep hug we’ve been needing since TFA.
Ok that’s enough shippy stuff.
FINN IS CANONICALLY FORCE SENSITIVE AND I AM LOVING IT.  I guess Rey’s gonna have her first student very quickly. 
Dominic Monahan being in the movie was a nice surprise (I mean not that surprising, just unexpected).  Seeing Wedge for literally 2 seconds was neat but not long enough.  There was more Lando than anticipated and I loved that.  I was genuinely worried about Chewey for like 30 seconds, and that wail of mourning when he learned about Leia was HEARTBREAKING.
There were several laugh out loud moments I loved.
I liked the new droid.  Not enough Artoo this movie, though.
Yep the LGBT moment was very blink-and-you’ll-miss-it.  Cool, two characters who had like ten lines between them over the last 3 movies (and never to each other, I don’t think?) kissed.  That’s nice.  Do better next time.  Way better.
Hux... yeah whatever.  Neat that he was a traitor... sorta.  But still, got what he deserved.  I can’t woobify him after starkiller base in TFA.
I’m sure I’m going to have a lot more thoughts, but it’s almost 1am and I gotta go to work in the morning, and then go see this movie again not long after leaving work.

S7 Speculation game
i was tagged by my dear @cosmo-k-i-d, thank you!
Pick one or more characters you think will survive:
octavia for sure. probably bellamy and clarke. niylah, miller, jackson because they’re too scared to kill any more lgbt characters! good, because i love them. and jordan for the sake of monty and harper’s legacy!
Pick one or more characters you think will die:
russell and gabriel, the primes gotta go! i’m super worried for murphy too, that cockroach luck can’t work forever. even more worried for emori. and if they kill off echo for bellarke...i will not be happy at all
Pick one deceased character you think might make a cameo:
GHOST MONTY GHOST MONTY GHOST MONTY
actually though i think they could justify just about anyone within the anomaly?? i’d say some old high-profile delinquents to bring back the original 100!! maybe finn, jasper?? monty again + harper?
Do you expect any romantic changes to happen this season?
dhfguksh who the fuck knows? i’m really rooting for niytavia and murven! and if bellarke does happen i’m gonna be psyched for you guys as long as echo gets her happy ending too. i think bellarke is likely though, there’s only so far you can look past those kind of scenes
Where will the final scene take place?
maybe looking out over a planet from a ship?? whether that’s earth or somewhere else entirely i can’t say. i think they’ll go back to earth myself and the absolute dream is to see the dropship again
What will the final line be?
probably a callback to something earlier. i’m inclined towards “let’s be good guys” but perhaps that’s not on message anymore. maybe a “shut up murphy” for old time’s sake, but probably an “i was born in space” style monologue
Who will say it?
probably clarke or one of the 100, but i’d buy jordan or madi too as the members of the next generation. but also it might be way way in the future with the 100 just distant memories and legends and it’s some completely random child
What’s one thing you hope happens?
raven smiles. next question.
Do you expect a happy ending?
i expect a bittersweet ending. same vibe as the end of s5. something wonderful will be achieved, but the cost will be great. someone we love will definitely be dead, but for once maybe it’ll be worth it
List your favourite character, season and episode up to this point?
favourite character: monty!! raven is a close second
season: 2 is the best by far
episode: nevermore, join or die for those Good Delinquent Bonding Times
and i’ll tag @easilydistractedbyfanfic @tackmins @thehundredtimesobsessed @tracylorde and anyone else who wants to play!!

First Lines
got tagged by @bisexualstokes Thank you so much :) 
Post the first line of your last 10 published fics, then tag 10 people. 1. Feel Again-  "Did you think I would die?" she asked so bluntly one evening as they lay in bed watching TV. 2. Happy In My Heartache-  The cup of tea had steam rising from it as she set it down on her Pikes Place coaster on her coffee table. 3. Cry Pretty-  "Please, you don't have to do this," she begged, folding her hands together in a praying gesture, something unfamiliar to her but necessary in this moment. 4. Saturdays-  Las Vegas was hot, there was no denying it, Julie thought as she was forced to vacate the cool comfort of her police SUV to step back outside into the furnace like conditions surrounding her. 5. Fool For Love-  As an investigator, observing things was a necessary skill. 6. Even If It Breaks Your Heart-  The phones incessant ringing coming from the kitchen woke Patrick out of a sound sleep. 7. Radioactive-  "I gotta get some air, before I rip your head off," Nick snarled the warning to disgraced former undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen as he sat interrogating him with Russell about his team of spies in the lab. 8. Finn- "I don't need you to think Finn, I need you to be smart"Those words had echoed in her head for the last few hours, pounding right alongside the pain all over her body she felt from being hit repeatedly by Crenshaw in the club. 9. How The Day Sounds-  The rain woke him up which surprised him because it was not a heavy rain. 10. Broken Glass-  The distant rumble of thunder caused her to look up at the grey sky with a growing sense of nervousness.  Tagging- @enbyboiwonder @mutatedsilverunicorn and anyone else who writes fics that I may or may not know about. And anyone who sees this and wants to do it, go for it :)

Beautiful Boy | Peaky Blinders Part 3 |
SO here’s the final part! I hope you all have enjoyed this, I know I have loved writing it. ENJOY! Y/S/N – Your Son’s Name
Summary: Nine months later and you are ready to welcome your baby into the world Part One Part Two
Warnings: Swearing, childbirth, bullying (?), and self-degrading talk. That’s about it I think.
Tumblr media
Whore. Slut. Skank. Stupid. Irresponsible. Disgusting. Bastard.
All words you had, sadly, become accustomed to over the course of your pregnancy. Now, no one was stupid enough to say anything while you had anyone with you, but while you were on your own was a completely different story. Women sneered at you, laughing behind your back when they thought you couldn’t hear them, gossiped about you to their friends. But you steeled yourself against the words aimed to hurt you, ignoring the people around you who wanted to see you cry but you refused to give them the satisfaction.
By the eighth month of your pregnancy, your family had become increasingly protective, almost not allowing you to leave the house, and if by some miracle you were allowed an hour out of the confines of the house, you had an escort. Today you had three. Isiaha, Michael and Finn walked on beside you, making jokes and scaring off the on lookers.
You laughed at a joke Finn had made, steering into the market, the boys following you. The doctor had warned you that your baby could come any day now, so your family had taken extra precautions, making sure that at least two people were with you at all times.
“Filthy whore.” An older man turned his nose up at you, spitting the words out and walking away from the stall that you approached. Gritting your teeth you moved passed it, rolling your eyes at the standard insult you had become immune to. Unfortunately for the man, Michael had heard the words.
“What was that?” He turned to the man, taking a step closer, threatening the old man without so much as saying the words.
“She’s disgusting. Having a child out of wedlock to a man she probably doesn’t even know the name of.” The old man carried on, either blind to who he was speaking too or just dumb.
“I’d watch the way you speak to my sister. I won’t hesitate to cut your fuckin’ tongue out if I hear you say some shit like that again.” Finn snarled, glaring at the man. As if he got a sudden realisation as to who was around him he ducked his head, apologising profusely.
“I-I’m sorry Mr Shelby, Miss Shelby. Please forgive me.” He rushed to get the words out, keeping his head down and not looking at you or the three boys around you.
“Get out of our fuckin’ sight.” Isiaha rolled his eyes, gesturing to the exit of the market place. Nodding, the man hurried out of the building, not once stopping to look behind him. The four of you were silent for a moment before you all burst into laughter at the poor man’s expense.
“Fuckin’ prick.” You laughed, turning back to the stall, when it felt like something gave way. Clutching both the table in front of you and your stomach, you waited for the pain to pass before you turned to your brother.
“Get me back to Polly’s. Now.” You gritted your teeth, spitting the words out. Finn looked confused for a moment, before he finally understood what was happening. Wrapping his arm around your waist, he moved you as fast as he possibly could. About half way, you realised that you weren’t going to make it back to Polly’s, so you wheeled to the right, in the direction of your old house.
“Change of plans boys, we’re not gonna make it to Pol’s. You gotta get her to me.” You glanced over your shoulder, meeting Isiaha’s eyes. The boy nodded, taking off in the direction of Polly’s while Finn helped you along to the old house, Michael trailing, and keeping an eye on the area around you. Kicking the door open, Finn helped you up the couple of steps, interrupting your brothers from their small family meeting.
“What’s the meaning of this, then?” Tommy asked, standing from his place at the table and reaching to help Finn get you inside.
“Baby’s coming. Get the fuck out of my way.” You groaned, heading for the stairs, when a particularly nasty contraction hit you. A small scream made its way passed your lips, frightening your brothers into action.
Not letting you stumble up the stairs, Arthur hoisted you into his arms and carried you the rest of the way up, placing you in your old bed. You cried out gripping a hold of the bed and writhing in pain, making your brothers back away from you slightly. They had no idea what to do in this situation, and Michael was down stairs waiting for Polly and Esme.
“Right. Get out of my fuckin’ way!” You heard Polly holler before thundering footsteps approached your room. Polly and Esme rushed in, pushing your brothers out of the room and instructing them to ‘go to the pub. We’ll get you when it’s over’.
The next six hours were the longest of your life. Screaming and crying out with every contraction, you distinctly remember telling Polly ‘go fuck yourself, I’ll push when I fuckin’ please’ when the woman tried to advise you against pushing. That had caused a round of laughter from both of the women in the room. But by the end of the six hours, after trying to give up several times, and cursing James to the deepest pit of Hell, you had your newborn baby boy in your arms.
Esme left the room, headed for the Garrison to let your brothers know that they had a new nephew. You and Polly cooed over him, looking at his big blue eyes. They were beautiful, but Polly let you know his eye colour would change over the course of the next few months.
“He’s perfect. How did such a screw up like me, make something as beautiful as he is?” You asked, looking up at your Aunt who sat on the edge of the bed behind you.
“Now you listen here Y/N Shelby. You are not a screw up. Yes, you’ve made some horrible decisions, but you are not a screw up. You’re a beautiful, strong woman who will make a wonderful mother.” She chastised you, making you feel as if you were seven again, and got the same lecture. You were going to reply when you heard the drunken shouts of your brothers arriving home, dragging Michael and Finn up the stairs with them. They stumbled into the room, wide smiles as they took in the sight of your son, their nephew.
“Boys, this is your nephew, Russell Anthony Shelby.” You spoke, smiling widely at them. They laughed gleefully, approaching the bed and bending down to get a look at your son.
“You did well, Y/N. He’s a beautiful boy.”
