you shouldn't have squished my walkman

y’all really claim you want equal representation in movies and media, and then turn every single white man into your favorite character. i’m tired of people of color being secondary characters in the fandom/public, even when they’re main characters in the story. 

if you were never taught the importance of love, then you were never conditioned to suppress it. soldier surrounded by color for the first time, with a new name that is sage and sea-heather. realizes that he can say goodbyes the way he always wanted to. “take care of yourself,” is a sentence he practices in his head. hugs everyone after he finds them. sea foam on Kef Bir, skies he has never seen. the gift of a good night’s sleep. at long last, something to fight for. at long last, “that’s one hell of a pilot.” loud Finn, shouting Finn, hugging and smiling and joking Finn. emotional, courageous, fearful Finn. crying over his friend’s shoulders at the end of it all, loving with his whole heart, Finn.
