Rose Tico/Finn/DJ - Rose Tico/Finn - Rose Tico/DJ
About the characters as I see ‘em
I’m not going to go on about Finn and Rose too much since they’re key characters.
I love Finn because he’s a big ole hero without being macho at all. He’s loyal and kind, a sort of occasionally-goofy heartiness and good cheer to him, but a slightly haunted and cautious side too.
I love Rose because she’s also a big ole hero without being a typical action heroine. I like her practicality, emotional largeness, impulsive big decisions when it comes to concepts that matter to her, a kind of deeply-set anger at how things are, a kind of equally deeply-set softness that she sometimes lets out.
DJ is a untrustworthy, street-smart, level-headed opportunist, but pretty sloppy and has a bit of a downer of a personality. A grimy little side product of Canto Bight, great minor semi-villain. I liked that he seemed to have a few moments of genuine rapport with Rose and Finn, in his own way, but with survival being first he dropped what fragile trust they’d created - and I’d like to imagine some deeper regret about that because I feel he knew they were a cut above him when it came to character.
About the ships
I’m fond of all the combinations: Rose x Finn, Rose x Finn x DJ, Rose x DJ... But currently pretty interested in a OT3 sort of deal.
Rose/Finn is the sweetest version, but as both Rose and Finn have their personal suffering and insecurities, it’s interesting to see how they interact and find ideology conflicts or similarities due to their different sources of fears and pain.
Rose/Finn/DJ or Rose/DJ is... the Canto Bight shipping special offer I guess! I enjoyed the way they worked together, because the element of DJ’s matter-of-fact opportunism and self-aware greasiness just adds interesting spice to character interactions and reactions and discussions on morals.
Oddly specific stuff I’d like to see exist
(No particular nudging towards actually picking any of these topics, but they might serve as an idea jump point or a general sense of what I ‘imagine’ when I think of the pairing).
AU where Rose and Finn get stuck on Canto Bight for a longer amount of time and sort of end up tagging along with DJ and surviving day-to-day in Canto Bight’s bleak underbelly. Mutual pining maybe, becoming emotionally dependent on each other’s presence.
18th/19th century historic AU
Any kind of hurt/comfort, complex interpersonal evolution going on, perhaps where one of them feels inadequate somehow to their team, or feels the other two have a bigger chance together and thus feels yearning/jealousy/loneliness etc., but with ultimately a happy ending for the emotional woes.
Do not wants: no rape/non-con themes please + if DJ/Finn/Rose Tico is picked, to keep it in a polyamourous sense (so not a love triangle or cheating thing)*
*Only meaning, I’m not very interested in cheating topics or ‘will X character choose A or B person’ type of things. It’s totally fine if they’re all three of them figuring out their feelings
