I'm gonna do my two RP posts I owe tomorrow, but idk, I feel like shippy stuff. RN I have no shippy stuff.

You should send me shipping asks.

3, 6, 38, 40?

3. Favourite character from Prequels?

*squirms uncomfortably*

Okay so this is probably the part where I admit I LOVE the Prequels in terms of world building and just general setting use, but I ... don't necessarily enjoy them much as films?

I get and appreciate the intent behind them, but the expanded material for that time period is always more interesting to me that the actual 3 prequel films. So that said, if I'm limited to film characters?

Bail Organa? Perhaps a bit of a cop out given that he's a favorite based on expanded material, but his scene during Order 66 is pretty great too.

6. Do you have any ships?

Hah- Star Wars ships, why would I have Star Wars ships, I- *kicks over a bucket and flood the room with, you guessed it, Star Wars ships*.

Let's be real, SW is the fandom I have the absolute most ships for.

Darman/Etain is my otp and the one all y'all know about of course. I'm also very attached to Rey/Finn and Rey/Finn/Poe. And all of my weird, impossible in canon game Kotor ships are very dear to me, too. Namely (my) f!Revan/Canderous Ordo, (my) f!Revanxf! Exile, f!ExilexVisas, and ExilexBao-Dur. I make myself unhappy by seeking the impossible. 🤷

But also? ZeyxMaze. LeiaxEvaan, LeiaxSabine. Kind of LeiaxHan (more based on EU than film). KananxHera, but not at ALL how it happened in the show. JilkaxRuusan or JilkaxRuusanxCorr (with Jilka and Corr being platonic but dedicated partners in this arrangement). BazexChirrut, BesanyxOrdo, and LaseemaxAtin. Also... some selective MereelxEtain (poly or au or whatever) but that's still Izzy and Cat's fault for introducing the idea, so take it up with them.

There are absolutely ships I'm forgetting too, where like if you asked me I would say I shipped it, but I can't think of it right now.

38. Fic recommendations?

Listen, if we're mutuals we've probably reblogged a bunch of the same writing I've liked here on Tumblr (or you wrote it), but I can't think of/access specific fics on Tumblr atm.

I actually don't tend to read a lot of SW fic on ao3 anymore though? I used to read more back in my ff.net days, but as it turns out I'm exceedingly particular in my characterization and plot and I tend to like the least popular parts of fandom.

I've checked for RepComm more than any other part of the fandom, but the fic count for stories that actually involve the main characters is on the low side. (Plus it's a series where I love RPing with OCs but not reading fic as much? Totally personal preference not a judgement of the fic in general).

40. If  you could make your own Star Wars trilogy/series, what would it be about?

Since Mandalorians are already being done... A (female) Corellian Jedi Knight surviving Coruscant just immediately after the Jedi Purge? Like, take all the promise of the potential behind the Coruscant Nights noir novel series from the EU but make the protagonist a woman who's actually given complex characterization and give it to an author who doesn't treat their female characters like a piece of one dimensional shit to be used as catalysts for the male characters like Michael Reeves did.

(I... may still be bitter.)

Of course there would still be Mandalorian and clone characters somehow and probably a morally upright but jaded former Separatist.

Failing that, a heavily edited version of RepComm or a Mara Jade-as-Imperial-Agent-just-post-Endor series, of course.
