I was having a bad day of the "well i might as well just quit everything and fandom especially since nothing i do ever pleases anyone does anyone even like plotty fic no they do not why do i bother i know i can't do shippy i am a failure as a fan" type but then I drew some stuff and watched Mission Cléopatre so I'm feeling better. Not great, but

Ugh, Witch Hunter Angela is the only 1602 I haven't read!

I'm hoping Free Comic Book Day has its usual good sales and I can get it then. I own the other three.

Hmm, I'm assuming Jyn is Rey's mom and I'm cool with that...plus, it would explain why a film would revolve around her and not...Shara Bey who could pull off the same thing. I'm really hoping for at least a hint of Shara Bey and Kes Dameron...if Diego Luna could be Kes Dameron, that could be great. But the whole film makes me "uncontrollably excited" and I hope it doesn't disappoint...especially since it's basically like Disney gave me a birthday present even though I'll probably see it the day before...but if it's good enough, maybe I'll see it twice!

It was published as part of Secret Wars sometime last year. I wrote a review here. It's good!

I don't know, I think I'd like it if not everyone important in Star Wars was related -- I kind of what Rey to be related to NO ONE EVER she's just a baby that the Force spontaneously generated. Would love to see Poe's parents though.

I can't do shippy either. I am baffled as to why that's the fandom first choice thing, really: of all the myriad plot twists that could happen, the only one you are supposed to know going in is that X will have sex with Y, even though X and Y are not yet aware of it!

Anyway, I'm glad you are feeling a bit less down.

YES ME TOO and tbh it just seems like the most boring part of the story, maybe BECAUSE it's the one part where you get the endgame upfront. There's no mystery left.

Thank you.

If you are a failure, then so am I, since gen is my best favorite. I think people like a lot of different things and depending on the fandom it can be hit or miss whether your stuff gets seen, and whether people seem to like it.

I was all set to not care about Rogue One, as I am with most SW stuff outside the core movies, but then I saw a gif of Jyn on Tumblr and I was like, oh no she's hot, and then I had to watch the trailer, and now I'm really excited for it. I didn't realize they were going to have a female protagonist for Rogue One, and I'm really happy that they are.

can I ship Jyn/Leia yet does that make sense

[dhampyresa]

I am so happy whenever I see people say gen is their favourite! :D

Jyn is really hot, especially all in black at the end. Female protagonists in Star Wars never fail to make me SUPER HAPPY.

If that's wrong I don't want to be right

[ladymercury_10]

I'm just imagining Leia in white and Jyn in black and man would they make a nice-looking couple

[dhampyresa]

Oh my.
