Kanan vs. Imperial Walkers

"there was a thick layer of condensation on the glass as she lifted it to her lips."

or

"the purr of the speeder's engine made them grin at each other in delight"

The purr of the speeder's engine made them grin at each other in delight.

Kanan leaned in with a smirk. "Told you I could do it."

Hera leaned in as well, stopping only when she felt his breath prickling against her lips and heard the small gulp from the back of his throat.

"We're not going anywhere if the anti-grav isn't on."

There was a thick layer of condensation on the glass as she lifted it to her lips. When the old woman put it down again, her pupils had vanished behind the milky white of her iris.

A frail hand reached out to grip Cinta's own. "Young one, the future is foggy within the Force," the woman's voice was raspy, but calm and certain. "What is clear is this: you will wear many faces, but only be seen by one."

16. Favorite set of your favorite blorbo

tragically, I haven't done any fancy Cassian gifset this year, but I do love this set from 2x01 because he looks sooooooo good here with dirt on his face

24. What are you most looking forward to gifing next year?

hmmmm I don't have any new fandoms right now but I've been working on a R1 ensemble set on and off for months and I'd love to finally finish it! it's inspired by this Friends set. here's a sneak peek of the Jyn one that's finished:

hi mik!! thank you for the ask my dear!!

🧩 What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?

oh my god so many but the first ones that come to mind for Cassian re Jyn is her predeliction for stealing his things. or, well, borrowing his things i guess i should say. she has absentia like a motherfucker, but she never loses track of his stuff when she 'borrows' it. this could be a blaster, a coat, a scarf, a slicing tool, etc etc.

Jyn re Cassian loves how he is just around. like, constantly right behind her, beside her, always in her orbit when they're together, especially on mission, but never opressive or overly protective. supportive. bracing. it makes her feel deeply powerful and safe. (that's probably a bit more than 'adorable' eh? hmmmm i imagine she really loves that he frowns whenever he's trying to concentrate lol.)

🍳 Who cooks & who sets off the smoke alarm trying to help?

Hello my Mik!!

This is one of my oldest wips. I work on it sparingly when I’m in the mood, but it’s full romcom vibes. They are rival sales associates, and when he wins a pitch for a big job over her, he sees how crushed she is and tries to figure out how to make it up to her. He agrees to masquerade as her partner when she goes to visit her uncles Baze and Chirrut for Christmas and of course they will fall in love!! Omg!!

Blah blah blah jargon. Blah blah buzzword. It’s fully chaotic and I’m very excited to finish it 😂

hello!! thank you 👀

the roman fantasy !! it's my current big original idea born out of my need to see more ancient fantasy settings and love for rome but very much still in the planning stages. i wrote a really cool prologue though.

the plot structure itself is my biggest struggle right now, but in concept it's about a vestal virgin and a gladiatrix and their respective magics (gifts from the gods in this world - each god can give someone a gift/magic but only one person at a time can have it). i just had this idea of a vestal virgin who had to eat the sacred fire at the behest of vesta and so her magic is fire lol, and the gladiatrix can heal people bc it was a fun juxtaposition! contemplating a third mc because i love a trio, but waiting to see how the plot shakes out (but they'd be a charioteer if so). i have been doing a deep dive research on roman religion (NOT greco-roman as a whole) in the process lmao. there's probably gonna be mythical creatures bc i have a fun idea with a gryphon and the gladiatrix. and they're gonna fall in love. the girls, i mean, not the monsters LMAO. lesbian vestal virgin with fire powers was literally my starting point for the whole thing 🤌only in antiquity terms of sexuality.

26. What's something the character has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

there are so many moments i could name, but i think for this, i will have to go back to the start — or at least the start of my history with the character. like a lot of modern comic readers, my introduction to rich was the annihilation event from 2006, which really, in essence, is his story. you see how he witnesses something horrific (the destruction of xandar by the annihilation wave), how that event affects him in terms of not only its trauma but also how he is irrevocably changed in his physical body (as the last nova, he has to take on the entire nova force, which we come to later learn changes his literal physiology just to carry it to the point that he will literally die without it), how he has to rise to the occasion.

and so i bring us to the final confrontation of the event, when he heads off with main villain annihilus. he seals off his friends who had come with him and confronts annihilus alone — and not only that, he also defeats him by ripping his guts out his throat, like so:

and then this fucker, weakened and near death from this fight, sees a manifestation of actual death, and says, "better luck next time" just before he collapses.

he is recklessly and self-destructively self-sacrificing and completely fucking unhinged. and i love him for that! i'm never over it.

28. If you could have this character meet another in another media, who would you have them meet?

tbh, really want to put him in a room with cassian andor and watch what happens next, and not just because they're both my blorbos. it's not that rich isn't willing to do a murder when it's necessary (see above), but BOY do they have very different ideas and proclivities about it — rich is a lethal force only when it's absolutely necessary kind of guy, whereas cassian is the human personification of the "and i started blasting" meme and the "i won't hesitate bitch" vine. they would probably argue, a lot, because they're both the universe's most stubborn motherfucker. at some point they're probably arguing about who gets to sacrifice themselves lmfao

but also — underneath all this, they have a lot in common. they've both lost their sense of home; cassian can't go back literally, rich can't go back metaphorically. they both feel an intense amount of guilt for feeling like they failed their younger sibling. they're both better leaders than they give themselves credit for, and also aren't fully aware of the effect they actually have on people. and they both just want to leave their galaxy a better place than they found it.

anyway that turned into a whole essay, so i'll stop this there.
