❝ if we’re ever far apart i’ll still feel the pull of you ❞ .

@xwingedpoe

Poe smiled, the light from the stars filtering into their room painted his skin gently and made those words seem like a romantic declaration instead of some promise about the dangers of being in love during war. There was no way to know how long they would be seperated for some days. Or when. Almost always the when is a surprise as the war became worse and worse. Poe suddenly jumping in his x-wing, flying away before he has time to kiss him goodbye. Quin, rounding up his troops and shipping out before they got to exchange anything besides a look.Reaching up, softly like any more force would break this spell between them, he let his fingers move over the skin of Quin’s cheek, not replying for a long moment so that he could just look at him instead. He loved looking at him, especially in these rare quiet moments. The stars made him look so beautiful that Poe found himself inhaling at the sight of him, and sitting up on the bed so that he could see him more clearly.“I know,” the hand not on Quin’s cheek wrapped around his wrist and brought it to Poe’s chest. The warmth of Quin’s palm against Poe’s bare chest made him smile again, eyes glittering. “You’re in here, baby, stuck in here like durasteel.”

This cursed year is finally ending so I thought it would be nice to say thank you to my dear mutuals and some friends. I have been following some of you for years, and others I only met when I came back ‘bout a month ago. I didn't think I would finish the year back on tumblr, because when I left almost a year ago I thought it was really over (thanks the rise of skywalker for ruining so many things for me! lmao) but here I am and I’m very happy to be back cause no matter how dumb this site is, it’s still the best social media and I will die on this hill. Thank you to all of my followers who have been here dealing with this mess of a blog. I hope 2021 will be better to all of us.

CASSIAN ANDOR APPRECIATION WEEK DAY 7 - FREE DAY [HIS HERITAGE]

This is a personal headcanon of mine inspired purely by the fact that on the Wookiepedia it lists Cassian’s father as human but specifically says “unknown mother”. Since I’ve read that I’ve imagined Cassian to be mixed, half human and half alien.

[poewasright]

talk to us about why poe was right.

WELL FIRST OFF the idea that holdo comes in here and treats him like shit and she’s somehow the “”””good”””” one here is buck fucking wild like that is so unprofessional and fucking shitty and was so clearly designed for rian to jerk himself off over what a good “feminist” ally he is

SECOND OF ALL HER ENTIRE PLAN RELIES ON THE IDEA THAT THE FIRST ORDER WON’T AT ANY FUCKING POINT LOOK OUTSIDE!! THEIR SHIPS HAVE WINDOWS!! THEY HAVE EYES!!! THE SHUTTLES WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE!!! and poe was right! they got picked apart by the first order because the shuttles did not have any shields or weaponry! 

anyway okay

so poe is a VERY HIGHLY RANKED OFFICER he has been a commander since he was in the new republic and he’s made commander pretty fucking young so like. clearly he’s good at his damn job. why is. her first fucking instinct. “humiliate and degrade one of the highest ranking officers i have and make sure he doesn’t trust me what does that. accomplish. HELLO??? RIAN???? ANSWER MY QUESTIONS PLEASE I HAVE SEVERAL???? all it does is make him not believe in her which is probably not the best fucking course of action at this point but yknow whatever whatever i’m not bitter

also WHY IS SHE HIDING THE PLAN? IT IS NEVER NOT ONCE GIVEN A REASON? also considering how easy it is for poe to find people to mutiny with him she clearly didn’t tell like OTHER people either so she’s just floating along like “teehee i’m so Wise” while the rest of the resistance is like “hey what the fuck is happening what are we doing this doesn’t make any sense” and what’s poe supposed to do???? just let her go on being shady as fuck?? and scare his people because she thinks that hiding the plan is a good idea?? no that’s fucking stupid! she has done N O T H I N G to earn his (or anyone elses) trust so yeah obviously they’re worried and instead follow poe who yknow they do trust and who yknow does tell them the plan and doesn’t act like they don’t deserve to know

also point 700 of my ted talk

whymst

the fuck

does she wait

so long

to ram

the fo ship

whymst the fuck is the entire point of poe’s “””””arc”””” supposed to be learning to wait and not sacrifice himself when she then turns around. and does. the exact same thing? and is hailed as a hero for it? while poe is vilified? (you don’t have to tell me I Know Why) 

she could’ve set the ship to autopilot! she could’ve had a droid do it! she could’ve turned the ship to the side letting it act as a shield to the shuttles! she could’ve rammed it SOOOO MUCH SOONER! it does not take that long for the ships to make the jump to hyperspeed! we’ve seen older ships do it way faster! 

anyway the whole thing was bad and i hate it thanks for coming to my ted talk

[poewasright]

33 (quinpoe)

I cannot help but notice we are sitting-in-a-tree.  So, you know, maybe we could think of something to do… verb-wise. (I want us to gerund, essentially.)

@xwingedpoe

He hadn’t bothered to open his eyes when he heard and felt Quin approaching his hiding place in a huge tree near their home. If he had been in any danger he would have felt it but he knew it was Quin from the way his heart lightened at his presence. The words pulled a lazy, sleepy laugh from Poe’s lips and he still kept his head against the trunk where he was camped out. There had been no reason for his leaving the house early in the morning while Quin still slept he had just felt the need to climb a tree and there were so many around to choose from.

“You’ll have to come up here for that.” Hardly a challenge, Quin can probably outpace Poe in the jungle. 

The sound of his husband climbing up the tree was music to his ears and he finally opened his eyes when the branch he had planted himself on, a thick one as high in the tree as he could get, shook with the added weight of Quin landing on it when he swung himself up from the one below it. Poe was sad to have missed his ascent once he was up here though before he had felt too warm and lazy to open his eyes. The way Quin could move himself from place to place was an addicting sight in Poe’s eyes, no matter how many times he watched him he never grew used to it. His husband was a deadly and brilliant man who sometimes moved like a jungle cat. Poe took a moment to count himself lucky to know this man as well as he did. 

Poe’s eyes still glinted with leftover sleepiness as Quin made his way near enough to lean his own back against the trunk but he smiled at him. “Did I wake you up?” He hoped not, they were still learning to sleep in a galaxy not at war, would probably be learning that for the rest of their lives, and he liked to let Quin sleep when he could.

Shaking his head Quin reached out to grab onto Poe’s hand, lacing their fingers together on his own lap. “I rolled over and noticed you were gone and figured you were out here.” There was some connection between them in the force that Poe had not spend a lot of time investigating, just happy to have it, and he hopes that connection let Quin know that he was safe and okay, just feeling the need to be outside as he did sometimes. 

Tilting his head up so that he could look at Quin he smirked, dark curls falling over his forehead that he knew Quin wanted to push his hands through but Poe didn’t give him the chance. Instead wrapping his free hand around the back of his neck, pulling him down into a kiss. That was what Quin had wanted wasn’t it? 

Considering the speed with which the other man responded Poe knew he had guessed right and let himself be pulled up and into Quin’s lap. Happy, not for the first time, that the trees that grew near their home were strong enough to support their weight. 

Pulling his hand out of Quin’s grip Poe moved it to the man’s shoulder, squeezing the muscle there as Quin’s large hands moved down his back to rest on his waist, pulling him even closer. They could spend all day like this, they might, and Poe couldn't’t imagine anything better.

prompt: masquerade poe x quin (fantasy verse)

@txwingedpoe

he had been painfully aware of quin, king signas, working his way through the crowd in his elaborate and richly decorated costume. everyone knew who he was and he was constantly surrounded by guards and courtiers and people wanting to ask him for things even if this is supposed to be a party. he wants to rescue him from the people though he knows that quin adores his people, poe just wants to give him a night off. both of them need it though poe will never admit that for himself.

it’s only when a hand touches his back that he realizes he’s lost sight of quin and judging by the way his guards are nowhere to be seen they have as well.

“surprise.” he would know quin’s voice anywhere, he knows it standing at the head of a wartable, shouting in the training yard, quiet and contemplative as he reads, low and rough when he wakes up in the morning. and he knows it now when it’s pleased and happy like he had gotten away with something, in a way he had because no one would suspect that it was the king standing behind him in a drab and forgettable costume, the mask enough to cover his face and make him unrecognizable to anyone that didn’t spend long hours studying his face and the way he moved lie poe had. there was nothing royal or regal about him now and poe had to use all of his self control to stop form wrapping both arms around him and pulling him into a tight embrace.

poe adored how dedicated quin was to his people and his kingdom because it was the same fierce drive to protect people that poe felt about everyone that rode with him and all the innocent people that they were trying to help. but it was nice to have a night, just one night, where no one would look to them for answers. tomorrow morning quin would go back to being king and poe would go back to being the commander. but for just a few hours they could be poe and quin.

some of his knights are standing around him, shooting looks at poe or at each other as they try and figure out who this masked man that approached and made their commander grin that wide was. “come on, let’s go dance.” he wanted to get quin out of here before someone figured out who he was. 

it wasn’t that they weren’t allowed to be together it was just. complicated. quin was still a new king, still trying to repair his city and his lands from a war that had nearly destroyed them and poe was a commander with an army torn to shreds by the darkness that seemed to never stop chasing after them, ripped apart by that darkness when it had held him captive. they were just trying to hold everything together and didn’t want the added pressure of a public relationship. not yet at least.

Meta on poe as the son of the resistance

@xwingedpoe you send this too me WEEKS ago and i. forgot.

my bad

ANYWAY you know i have a lot of feelings about this but also have a somewhat hard time putting it into words a lot but i will try because i love this boy so much

this got kinda long so

so for people that aren’t amanda this ties back to my tumblr rp days (of around uhhh three months ago now since i quit) wherein i wrote poe and wrote a LOT about poe which was taken from tfa, the comics, the before the awakening book, the tfa book, and poe’s flight log and stuff like that that i just took and expanded on and made my own because whatever it’s all fake i’m gonna do what i want here

OKAY SO obviously poe’s parents where in the rebellion and this is important for a few reasons but the biggest ones are

1. it means they understood things worth fighting and dying for2. they had poe before the end of the war he was NOT a victory kid

i just think it’s so clear from the way poe is talked about in reference to his childhood that from the moment he’s old enough to really understand what his parents were fighting for he was fighting for the same thing even if there wasn’t a WAR to fight. his parents might not have wanted him to be a solider, they might not have told him the horrors they saw, but they sure as shit told him why they fought and instilled in him the belief that if you were in a position to fight for people and for what was right you did it

he is raised by parents that adore him and see in him a natural tendency towards protectiveness and action as well as leadership, he’s the second coming of leia that was ALWAYS the point @ ryan anyway

so kes and shara make sure to nurture that in a healthy way, they teach him right from wrong at a very young age, they teach him that know one OWES him their allegiance he is only a leader when he earns peoples respect

he’s all the things the rebellion and later the resistance believed in action and love and knowing right from wrong and not taking advantage of his charm or position. which is tbh why he reacts so negatively to h*ldo but that is NOT the meta i’ve been asked to write so i’ll refrain 

the victory kid thing is about like his parents believed So Firmly in the cause that they didn’t wait to have a kid they had him in the middle of the war knowing that if the rebellion lost his life was forfeit and they loved him so much that you KNOW they were constantly terrified for him but they still had him, they left him to go fight because they loved their son and their home so they had to go back to fighting no matter how much they missed him

he’s the product of a mind blowing level of hope and belief in the rebellion and what it stands for 

poe is literally born as like some kind of proof that this will not be the end and that HAS to leave an impact that HAS to mean something to him i refuse to think it doesn’t

anyway this is not very well put together but whatever i just love him so much you know me

[poewasright]

“I’d ask you to stay but I don’t like you.”  (sent from @restngbutchface and it’s gonna be quinpoe so @xwingedpoe)

Those words might sound scary to someone that wasn’t Poe, to someone that didn’t see the way Quin’s lips tilted up slightly as he said them. Quin was a pathfinder, the best of them really, and he was a perfect spy for reasons that Poe knows to keep secret. So he’s good, great even, at hiding his emotions and too anyone else that might make them walk away from Quin but it only makes Poe grin.

Poe’s grin is a little bit more feral than it usually is but this is Quin and they might be in love but they’re still a little bit wild, they both have Yavin IV in their blood. Children raised under the trees running wild in untouched jungles never really learned to sit still and get rid of that wildness. “Oh, you want me to go?” There’s a challenge in his voice and he doesn’t miss the way that Quin’s eyes gleam dangerously. 

They’ve both killed so many people. They’re both deadly beyond imagination. Neither of them have ever been afraid of the other for even a moment. 

Reaching out fast enough that Quin couldn’t stop him he grabbed the jacket he had thrown onto the bed when he walked into the room, it had landed besides Quin and the other man’s hand was only a fraction of a second away from grabbing his wrist when Poe pulled away. Slowly, he backed towards the door, never taking his eyes off the man sitting on the bed.

He knows how quickly Quin can move, has seen him in battle and in training, has been more than happy to let himself be over powered by him countless times. Not this time though, now he wanted Quin to have to work for it. “I wonder if Jessika still wants to go out, there was a club at a city nearby she wanted to check out, I can go call her. See if some nice boy wants to come home with me.” 

They both know he’s joking, Poe has never wanted anyone but Quin since the moment they met and Quin has told him how much he feels the same way. But they’re both in a mood to tease tonight it seems, and Poe can play when he wants to. “Yeah, good luck.” The other man’s voice is almost flippant, almost, if it weren’t for the slight edge to it it might sound like Quin really didn’t care what he did. 

Until then Poe had kept his eyes on Quin, walking backwards until his back hit the door to the room where he stood still for a long moment, smirking at his boyfriend. “Please, you can’t say no to me and I doubt you’re the only one.” It’s only when Poe starts to turn, his hand moving towards the pad to open the door that Quin moves. 

Poe feels the way the air in the room shifts, like the force is wrapped around both of them and it grows more electric as Quin gets closer to him. For a moment Poe wonders if he’ll ever get used to the way the air moves around them when they’re together, he doubts it though. And when Quin’s chest is against his back, an arm around his waist to tug him back into the room he doesn’t really want to get used to it.

“Shut up, Poe.”

“Make me.”

[poewasright]

“I’ve been buying the wrong underwear.” -poe/Quin obviously

@xwingedpoe

Poe’s eyebrows raised at that, he hadn’t looked up from his spot at the desk for about an hour, working on how they were going to get enough ships for the new pilots he’d been training since they took over Canto Bight as a new base. People had been trickling slowly but steady, trusting that the Resistance wouldn’t leave them out to dry, trusting him and Quin to lead them. If only they could see their Pathfinder leader now. Looking over his shoulder with a huge grin Poe nearly burst out laughing at the sight of his boyfriend pulling at the underwear on his body.

“That’s cause that one is mine.” 

They were similar in size, Poe was just a bit shorter and less broad but small difference could matter when coming it came to underwear. “That one’s tight on me so it’s probably tighter on your thighs, baby.” Standing up he moved to press a kiss to Quin’s cheek. “Aren’t you a genius or something?” He’s teasing him, Poe is well aware of how brilliant this man is and he can see that Quin is exhausted so that’s probably why he couldn’t tell the difference. 

The sun was just barely starting to come up but Quin hadn’t slept well, Poe could always tell that when they were in the same bed which was more often than not. “Get back in bed, you still have some time.” Considering who Poe is he knows that’s a little bit hypocritical but he’s okay with that in himself sometimes. “For me?”

[poewasright]

*coughs* talk to me about poe-quin and their first kiss

 @xwingedpoe​ WE WROTE THEIR FIRST KISS AMANDA

but for out fandom one (1) which is for sure @qveensthea i will EXPLAIN

basically they’re like pining for MONTHS but both of them just do not!!! think!!! the other is into them because they’re big gay idiots and poe is just like Nice to people so quin doesn’t think he’s flirting and quin’s flirting is super subtle so poe doesn’t think it’s flirting and ALL THE PILOTS HAVE NOTICED!!!!! jess and kare are suffering because they keep seeing quin walk into walls when he watches poe fix his ship or seeing poe turn into a useless fool when he walks in on quin and training with the pathfinders

basically just peak useless gays being in love with each other is the set up here it’s important because it’s been like building up for a super long time which is how the first kiss finally fucking happens

so it’s post-starkiller like poe was running high on adrenaline and just like “i could’ve died and i never kissed him” and quin was left on base because the pathfinders weren’t needed for that strike so he was on base and just fucking worried and afraid and then they WIN and poe is THERE and he landed and sees quin and just RUNS AT HIM and they’re both physical dudes so they’re both like “oh thank god he’s alive going in for a hug” 

except

poe just fucking kisses him just lays one on him and it’s good and perfect and everything he’s wanted except he’s a good boy so he kinda freaks out right after and is like “holy shit i’m so sorry i shouldn’t have done that you shouldn’t kiss someone if you don’t know for sure they want to kiss you i’m sor-” and then quin tells him to shut up and kisses him again and all the pilots are cheering and both of them are so lost in the kiss they kinda don’t notice for a hot second

and then poe has to go to a meeting and he’s TERRIFIED quin is going to tell him that it was a mistake so he makes him promise to meet him in his room after and then things ESCALATE THANK YOU 

[poewasright]

prompt: poe and the color "orange"

@xwingedpoe

he traces the strips on his mother’s jacket, they’re orange and his father sits patiently and teaches him to say that long word. teaches him in common and in his other language like he always does so that poe can speak them both easily. he looks up to his dad, repeats the word in both languages until kes smiles at him proudly and nods that he had them right.

“when you’re bigger that jacket can be yours, okay mijo?” the way he says it sounds a little bit sad and he knows that he misses poe’s mom, they both do so much that they can barely breath through the force of it.

--

when the jacket is his he wears it with pride, wears it so often that it starts to wear down but the stripe of orange is strong as ever. poe thinks about that color a lot, what it means to wear it, what it means to carry it. he is announcing himself a rebel when he puts it on even if the starbird isn’t on the jacket it still shines as a rebel jacket, the war wasn’t over when his parents left but it is now and still people look at that jacket like it’s something other than a piece of clothing.

it is. to poe it is and it always will be. orange is freedom, orange is brilliance, orange is refusing to let anyone suffer if you can help them. orange is sacrifice. 

--

the first time he puts on a flight suit he feels like he’s glowing. it’s bright and flashy and it shines in the darkness. that’s what a rebel should do, his parents had instilled in him to be a soldier for the right cause meant being a beacon. not because it was easy or war was something warm and bright but because you had to stand for something and make sure it showed in everything you did. so he wears orange at every chance, marking himself different from the new republic in ways that he doesn’t understand yet but he will soon.

--

the ships are not his per se, it belongs to the new republic navy, but he sees it as his own anyway and that’s why he paints it without fear of repercussions. black to streak through the sky like a sleek sword, orange to make it clear what he stands for and that he won’t allow harm to be done on his watch.

a sword and shield, that’s what he’ll be until the day he dies.
