#i haven't appreciably interacted with any emmas yet so

[its-all-papaya]

I always imagine Lando’s mind just short circuiting in the early months of their relationship whenever Oscar interacts with Emma. Like you mentioned him not really dating anyone after having Emma so I can only imagine what it must do to a man’s heart to see this soft, pretty guy being so sweet with his daughter and that guy also happens to be his partner and the first person he’s really opened his heart up to in years. Like I’d be SWOONING.

What is Oscar’s relationship with Emma like? Ik you mentioned how he’s not really her dad but is sort of another parental figure to her. Does Oscar personally see her as his daughter? How does it evolve as she grows up?

(Hope that’s not too many questions, I don’t want you to have to spoil anything too much either lol)

hey sorry work kicking my ass BUT i'm back to talk about dad lando

lando is probably absolutely unprepared to witness oscar with emma. I haven't written any of their interactions yet, but like... yeah. you know the way oscar talks to children like they're adults? i think emma will be INSTANTLY fascinated by him and attached to him... honestly poor lando, he cannot be held responsible for anything that happens before during or after the time oscar spends with emma...

but yeah, in terms of relationships/how ppl view each other, emma is so used to lando being her entire day-to-day life outside of daycare/preschool/eventually regular school. even when lando and oscar get really serious, oscar still is gone like every other wednesday-to-sunday for like ten months of every year for most of her childhood. which is why i don't see her ever considering him in exactly the same way she sees lando, who puts her to bed every night and wakes her up every morning and feeds her and is there every time she has a nightmare and every time she's sick, etc. she absolutely loves and trusts oscar by the time she's like five, but i don't think the circumstances are right for her to ever truly see him as "dad" the way lando is. that being said, i think oscar for sure feels responsible for her after a certain point. and yeah, i think he probably does see her as his daughter eventually too. i talked in a previous ask about my little bby headcanon of her looooving the nitty gritty of racing and race strategy and what goes into every race weekend, and i think they'd have little things like that that make their bond really special and different from hers with lando in a way emma for sure appreciates and treasures. it's definitely a really deep love and a really important relationship to both of them, even if it's not a traditional father/daughter thing strictly speaking.

Omg I pulled an all nighter reading your fic, it’s SO good!? I remember reading through the first chapter thinking how amazingly floored I was, then I was completely sucked in entirely. Oh the comforts of my bed, a day off from work/school, enjoying an amazing Star Wars fic is the best way to re-energize.

I love love this fic so so much: How you fleshed out different characters that I could tell apart their traits for who they are—you giving each character their own spot light to shine and balancing out their interactions with other characters—it makes the world feel more lived in and lively: Obiwan being a sweetheart, Ahsoka being her silly self, even making more OCs up with Emma!!!, etc., how there’s actual support for/from other women characters (makes me so sad whenever anakin fics paint Padmé as just an obstacle), the writing style is such a wonderful mix of gorgeous, serious tone settings and also humor (I can’t count how many times I giggled and kicked my feet with what transpired), and I just LOVE the first few chapters so much with the plot of language barrier. I think it’s such a compelling story arc where the characterization is only through physical movements and tone; forced to be in the same helpless state as the Reader being confused about the newness of it all—the misunderstandings, the desperation finding different methods to communicate, body language/facial expressions. SO SO GOOD!!! AND YOU STILL PORTRAYED THEM SO WELL!!!

The plot is so interesting too with how much mystery shrouds—I came up already with so many theories of why things are happening/how they’ll end (really hyping myself up for Anakin/Padmé/Reader endgame); I won’t add it though cause this ask is already so long/don’t wanna accidentally spoil newcomers T_T but I love when fics work out storylines in a multidimensional way with it’s varying complexities of “what is going on…”

Chpt 12 was so beautiful too with how you described the setting of the foliage and lighting, ooooh I am living within your fic!!

I can’t wait to see more of your future chapters and where you’ll lead the story—I’m so so excited (for more horrors Reader will face LMAO) 💗

Btw! Do you have any fav Star Wars x Reader fic recs (LOL recs autocorrected to Rex’s)

AAAAAA omg i had to read this like four times cos i kept getting flustered, thank you for such lovely long messages <3 I always come back to these when I'm feeling lost while writing

It's hard to talk about without spoiling because I have so much planned out already, but it's so cool to see reactions as things develop. i need to write faster so I can babble about things that haven't been revealed yet

I'm particularly excited to develop the love triangle (more of a web tbh) and see people's reactions.

I'm so happy that the mystery is coming across too! It's so hard to balance the right amount of clues without being too vague or too forward ;; This is my first multi chapter fic, so I'm learning as I go, but it's been a lot of fun :D

Unfortunately I haven't been in the fandom very long, so I don't have any recs but i'll try to post about them when I do !

Again thank youu, sorry I take forever to respond, I'm a busy-adhd-bee but i appreciate it so much <3
