Who says that’s weird. WHO. I fucking LOVE Muslim Finn! See the ‘muslim Finn’ search on my blog for related posts I have reblogged. Finn as a Muslim American, for instance, would mirror the proud tradition of Black Muslims who stood against injustice and hatred. Muslims such as Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali were voices of conscience who spoke from a deep wellspring of faith and conviction, much as Finn is the conscience and moral authority of the sequel trilogy.
And I love your headcanon of Finn feeling alienated and set apart, which I have heard is something experienced by Muslims in the West and elsewhere. Muslim Finn is awesome and we need more content for it, stat!
Finnreys were actually celebrating the fuck out of this 😂
….reylos thought we were upset? My discourse group chat practically threw a party. where are they getting that we were upset?
I think it’s a joke, maybe? Then again I have seen genuine incomprehension from Reylos on how friends can be lovers, which uh… is more disturbing to me than any choice of ship can be actually. 😐
Hm, isn’t fucking facist murderers with a grandpa complex everybody’s kink?
We can’t all be German, porgs.
Oh, damn, you mean Germany lost the war and Star Wars isn’t about how awesome the Empire and the FO are? I’m speechless now, my life’s a lie! (I’m joking btw, in case someone doesn’t know omg! I don’t think I can joke about this??? Anyway I think you can @lj-writes ?? )
Ikr, how could a trilogy started off by a Jewish director and penned by Jewish writers NOT glorify an explicit Nazi analogue? It boggles the mind… (idk my other German friends did make the occasional “Germany lost the war” jokes no idea if it’s ok for me lol)
My 8 year old kid today said they had an idea for a story where, and I quote:
“Finn is boyfriend and girlfriend with Rey and is boyfriends with Poe but both Rey and Poe know and aren’t jealous or anything and they fly around on the Millennium Falcon and beat up bad guys”
I will definitely keep you all up to date with any developments
Full disclosure btw: I am a fan of the Finn Sandwich but I had not told Kiddo about that. All I mentioned is that I would be happy if Finn dated either of those two and Kiddo ON THEIR OWN was all
I believe this is the post-episode ix storyline. Also? The kids are all right.
Fin/npoes who are anti Finnrey are as bad as canon Re/ylos and that’s a fact.
i think this is obvious, maybe not to disney, but leia deserves better than kyle ron. she deserves better than a son who has blatantly disregarded everything she’s ever stood for, disregarded the fact that she’s a genocide survivor, and that the man he idolizes tortured her and made her watch the extermination of her people. why would you expect her to love him when he very clearly doesn’t give a shit about her? leia deserves better than an arc that uses her as a plot device catch-all (because if leia ‘thinks’ there’s still ‘good’ in him we can just completely ignore everything he does in the mean time, right? until his very unlikely and undeserved redemption?) and is disrespectful to her entire character & history. leia deserves better than a patricidal, fascist, white supremacist murderer of a child who abducts women, tortures them, and says nasty things like ‘i can take anything i want.’ leia doesn’t owe kyle a single thing and she isn’t a bad person for washing her hands of him.
i think a lot about how, in the TFA bts, abrams said that their goal for TFA was to tell a story that would ‘bring them joy.’
and i just want to yell, “joy for who??? for the new trio, maybe, but certainly not for leia.” (see everything above.)
it’s almost as if movie directors don’t consider older women to be deserving of joy, compassion, meaning, victory, and everything else they afford the other heroes. it’s almost as if abrams forgot that leia too, has a stake in the game, and damn well deserves a story of her own.
when a director talks about human joy, and then strips an older woman of all agency and hope, i have to wonder who his definition of ‘human’ includes.
