A Poe x Reader Fic

Rating: Explicit

A/N: okay, my loves. Here’s my stab at my favourite man within the Star Wars universe. I’ve never written for Poe before, but I wanted to take a chance! Hope you enjoy and thank you @beskars and @madadlorian​

for the best emotional support

Takodana was relatively quiet and it was green.

Here’s a quick handy reference list or anyone who isn’t sure:

Homosexuality does exist in almost all social species.

“Alpha males” are not a real phenomenon and in fact the most aggressive males tend to be the least reproductively successful.

“Survival of the fittest” simply means that the success of a species hinges on how well it “fits” its environment. It does not mean that stronger or smarter individuals are supposed to succeed. Those things can even be a detriment in nature by wasting too many resources.

“Race” is not a biological concept. Someone who looks different from you has the same human genes, just a different grab-bag of dominant traits.

Evolution is not a march towards higher complexity, more intelligence or even more adaptability. It’s just a fluctuation of characteristics dictated by environmental pressures and mutation. A slime mold isn’t “less evolved” than a hawk, just adapted for success under different parameters.

People didn’t evolve “from apes.” It’s more complicated than that. We are a category of ape, sharing a common ancestor with the other apes.

No human on Earth is “closer” to an evolutionary ancestor than any other. We all descended from the same one.

Neanderthals were also a “sibling” species of ours. We didn’t evolve from them.

Humans are actually more genetically homogeneous than most people suspect. This is possibly due to a population bottleneck at some point in our evolutionary past. Two chimpanzees from different sides of a jungle are likely more genetically different to each other than any two human beings in the world.

Our big brains may help us use tools, but what was really principal in their development was the need for empathy, communication, and cooperation.

Humans. Are. Social. So social it drove an incredibly energetically costly increase in our brain size.  Don’t believe anyone who says its our nature to fight “every man for themself.” We’re humans, not bears. We fight for each other.

And we always have. Fossil remains are found of ancient humans who bore signs of crucial mobility impairments that lived to notable ages. Some even have sticks or other mobility aids – community care and support is our way. We don’t cast off those with impairments, we stand by them.

Human sexual dimorphism is on a decreasing trend. Our ancestors had greater difference in canine size and overall size. Our dimorphism gap has gotten smaller.

Occam’s razor is the principal that whatever is the simplest explanation is probably the most likely one. Don’t believe someone who says the reason we evolved bipedalism is so that males could carry gifts to females to woo them. Yes, this is a real ‘theory’ on how bipedalism evolved.

Skin tone is an adaptation of UV levels vs vitamin D levels. Both come from the sun. UV is harmful, so where sun is plentiful populations develop a darker skin tone for more protection. The skin needs sun to create vitamin D, so where sun is scarce, the skin tone lightens to allow more sun in. This is literally all it is.

Final thing: No one’s mind is really equipped to fully understand how long a billion years is, or a million, or even tens of thousands of years. Evolution takes place over a loooong time. Its very, very, slow, slower than we can really comprehend. We can’t “stand in the way” of natural selection by caring for our ill. We don’t need to “help” evolution in any way. It inevitably happens, but not on any sort of timescale we could possibly affect, so don’t fall for anyone that tells you not to “stand in the way” of natural selection. That’s fascism, and its utterly pseudo-scientific.

you mentioned that human sexual dimorphism* is on a decline, which prompted me to add that human sexual dimorphism just is not that great  compared to, like, so  many other species. there are species out there where if you didn’t know, you would think they were completely different animals. radically different size, coloring, conformation. if you see a human in a hoodie walking down the street in front of you, odds are you can’t even tell until you get right up to them, and sometimes not even then.

pick a metric – height, size, muscle mass, coloration, blood chemical composition, just about anything – map male and female populations on two curves and the amount of overlap under the curves will be greater than the amount of outlier. the variation between individuals far outstrips the distinction between sexes.

we are far, far more alike than we are different. the obsession with treating male and female humans as completely separate species to each other is very recent (evolutionarily speaking) and dangerous.

men are from earth. women are from earth. we both live here and it’s beautiful

i’ll start :^)

This is the closest you will come to seeing my face.

right so i already did this but i decided to make another since i fucking love this picrew and it was so cute! this is the me i am around my family, and the other one is the me that i am around friends 😂
