#the fight with kylo in the snow is such a good example of this bc like. her initial reaction when finn is hurt is super emotional and sloppy

[lightsiided]

truly the one thing she never grows out of is having an emotional reaction to things like

rey has such a temper and we see her get overwhelmed and react without thinking so many times. and once she can take a minute to take a breath and collect herself she does the right thing and it all works out but sometimes she can't get there

and for as much as she matures i think that's one thing she'll never be able to shake. her instincts are always to react physically because so much of the formative years of her life made that a necessity so she's always going to be the person who swings first

top 5 disastrous Poe headcanons

idk if this means “top five headcanons about poe that prove #star wars was a mistake” or “top five headcanons of poe being a disaster” so i’m going to do both lol even though i mostly don’t think poe is a disaster. 

TOP FIVE WORST POE TAKES

The one about Poe being so ~breathy and sexual~ while being interrogated by Kylo Ren, which was a) a sign he was gay; b) a sign he was reckless and eager to get hurt; and c) bad gay representation bc of the above. god i still remember that post. it compared him to the natasha romanoff in The Avengers and not in a good way 

Intergalactic Man Whore Poe Dameron 

Intergalactic Manchild Idiot Poe Dameron

Poe “some of us are fly girls, Leia Organa and my mom are my role models” Dameron Hates Women In Command (thx rian)

Poe Dameron Is the Son Leia Organa Deserves to slap & knock out apparently

TOP FIVE FUN POE TAKES

Poe Dameron, bird nerd, doesn’t know how to carry on normal conversations bc his dad is a quiet guy and Poe grew up on a ranch w/o a lot of contact with other kids so he just info dumps about ships & birds & other animals when he’s talking at all, but otherwise he’s actually p quiet. The shit talking/sassy brassy dude thing is a defense mechanism for when he’s trying to figure out how to get out of deep shit. 

Poe Dameron, eternal optimist, takes things SO ridiculously personally when someone he trusted betrays him but in a very internalized way where he mostly blames himself for being too trusting

Poe Dameron, best droid dad, has blown off plans with Black Squadron to hang out with BB8, possibly/probably bc it was BB8′s birthday. 

Poe Dameron falls in love rarely (he’s Too Busy focusing on, y’know, running a squadron and living up to the example his parents set and protecting the ideals they fought for) but when he does, he falls HARD. It’s embarrassing but he’s a total awkward nerd about it. 

Poe Dameron was most likely born & conceived on Hoth so in his head he’s like, connected to the idea of snow and ice planets and think they sound gr9, but he’s a Yavin IV boy where it’s always like 90 degrees and he’s never seen snow in his life, until he joins up with the New Republic Navy and gets stationed on some random ice planet and throws himself fully into the whole Snow Experience aka snowball fights, snowmen, drinking the space equivalent of hot cocoa, etc, etc.
