Poe praising, befriending, trusting, humanizing, accepting, embracing, complementing, and encouraging a former child soldier whom he could have easily seen as nothing more than an enemy.
poe dameron
high school letter jacket au because @acern12345 is a horrible enabler
@sarah531 needs to see this, I think
i do indeed
saw Star Wars again
Wanna know what I noticed this time?
You know how Finn is so heartbroken by the death of the other Stormtrooper, the one who somehow finds bare fingers and blood to smear across his helmet? The one who’s death starts Finn’s break from his programming? The one he CLEARLY cared about?
Yeah, Poe shot that guy.
F: Finn Dameron… I-I… I like it
I’m sorry but I saw this post and COULD NOT RESIST. Improvised a bit!
Keep the jacket. It suits you.
#spaceships aside the way this is presented looks like a scene from a high school flick#where the awesome jock (poe) encounters the weird homeschooled new kid (finn) in the corridor#and poe is like :D and finn is like FEELINGS???#why am I writing a high school au for you two??!?!? (via @sarah531 )
i think the most pertinent question here is why have you stopped
I would read the FUCK out of a Cute Jock Poe and Homeschooled New Kid Finn In High School fic, but sadly I am super lazy someone do it
I am still not OVER the fact that Poe GAVE FINN his NAME because do you know how important the act of naming is??? in stories?? in real life?? in EVERYTHING?
Finn literally wasn’t Finn until he met Poe Dameron, and I have more to say about this at some other point but!!! NAMES!!!! SPACE HEROES IN LOVE!!! AWESOME THINGS!!!!
