Ooh this is a good one to pick because I think this was a very early document in my TFA writing life!

Finn has never kissed anyone before...because he only had five minutes to fuck back in the first order and chose rimming and deep throating instead. Poe is perplexed, then blown away. Literally.

Finn is a secret sex expert. Behind the first order bike sheds.

Poe is captured by the first order and causes hux to fall in love with him by being Scheherazade from arabian nights - seduces him with stories from the other side of a cell.

Poe was a teenage heart throb - he was literally in galactic one direction, and is now a war hero, but people still see him and go ‘OH LOOK ITS POE DAMERON MY BFF WANTED TO MARRY YOU’

Finn/Rey pegging

Evil Finn is Kylo’s apprentice

The first two became feel you from the inside  and I really really wanted to write Poe was a teenage hearthrob. Some of the themes from that idea I ended up using in consent to be wrecked and others in the rose of terok nor but here’s the other parts of it because it amused me.

So like it starts when Poe and Finn are out and a woman in her Early 30s at a market stall SCREAMS when she sees him, and Finn thinks its because she’s going to try and kill them and then she’s like EURMAGERD and Poe is SUPER EMBARRASSED but signs all these things for her. And then Finn goes back and Poe says ‘I’m sure you want to know what that was about’ and Finn’s like ‘yeah?’ and Poe says ‘Hmmm yeah so I was a child star, it was only a few years, people have mostly forgotten.’ So Finn looks on the holonet and read’s the rebellion version of wikipedia which he expects to be 90% ‘this glorious hunk of a man blew up starkiller base what a fucking war hero’ but its actually ‘Poe Dameron was in the GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME that CHANGED POP CULTURE FOREVER we NAMED HAIRSTYLES AFTER HIM also he’s a war hero who blew up starkiller base [citation needed]. And Finn is vaguely outraged but also intrigued.

Also at the same time Ben Solo is the Charlotte Church (very english reference) of Jedi skills, and concerned parents are like ‘why don’t you have a poster on your wall of that nice padawan rather than those boys with their tops off’ and people on the internet see Poe and Ben being friends and write tinhat fic about how they’re in love, that kind of skeevs Poe out because Ben IS evil, and when Ben falls and as the boy band lose their popularity Poe’s like “fuck this, I bought my dad a house” and quits to join the military and its like Zayn leaving one direction/Robbie leaving Take That.

For making weird colors work: lip liner! NYX makes a huge color range of lip liners for around $4 each. Pick a lip liner that's close in color to your lipstick. Draw a line around the edges of your lips, and then fill in your entire lips with the lip liner pencil. It's actually way easier than the lipstick part, it's like using colored pencils. Then do the lipstick on top of that. This will make the color cover better and also help it stay, since the liner is drier.

Lip liner is the ONE thing I DO do. And in this case, it’s actually waterproof eyeliner pencil, because I have a lot of blue eyeshadow, because I compulsively buy it when faced with a large array of choices, the same way I always buy the reddest lipstick, and so I get home and realize that I have fifteen of nearly the same thing... Anyway. Usually I have real actual lip liner. I get lipliner, I’m pretty good at it, but no matter how good I am at it, I still get the dip in my upper lip filled in basically instantly.

First, for long-lasting "normal" colors, try liquid lipsticks that dry on like Revlon Colorstay or Maybelline SuperStay. These go on liquid and then you let them dry fully before putting on the shiny topcoat side. They should be around $8-12 at a regular drugstore.

I think Revlon ColorStay was the one I had that balled up and came off in weird chunks, but, in its defense, I suppose, I was rollerskating strenuously at the time. Maybe I just asked too much of it.

Looking fab! As a sometime wearer of black, blue & v dark purple lipstick in my full on goth days, I never could get it to survive smoking or eating, though I tried all the tips like putting foundation on your lips first etc. I've no qualms about frequent reapplication anywhere and everywhere, though, LOL. Anyway, today I'm especially envious of your nice dark blonde hair - sadly I've just managed to dye mine bright orange while aiming for something like your colour!

I had a suspicion that it wasn’t true that other people weren’t reapplying lipstick, it’s just that I don’t notice it and it’s basically invisible to me. Clearly I must have seen people put it on before, or I wouldn’t know how to do it; I just could never tell if they were doing it anywhere public, they just always looked really good. This is a con, I think, of being sort of gay, because mostly I see pretty girls and get distracted by how pretty they are and forget that I’m supposed to be taking notes so I also can be pretty. 

Oh man, any attempts i’ve made to dye my hair have been bad. That’s just my hair color. You can’t see the ends, where I ombre-dyed it blue like three years ago and it’s still greenish and floofy. I was born tow-headed and have darkened a bit, but every other adult in my family for generations had their hair darken through their teens into their twenties until they’re medium- to very-dark brunette (my father was a white-blond kid, and was even still sandy-haired when he was in Vietnam, but by the time he was about 28 his hair was almost black, where it’s been ever since), and so in my mid-20s I decided I’d better start studying how to dye hair, but I never did and it never changed, and now I’m scared to experiment with anything beyond the last six inches or so because What If I Fuck It Up And It Doesn’t Go Back Like That. I did just cut off another inch of the leftover green last night in the bathroom sink though...

I like revlon's 16 hours liquid/gloss combo for most-of-day wear. It'll even make it through the pool. Kinda sticky, but i think vaseline takes it right off. The 16 hour kinds are often better than the 24 hours kind as far as look and comfort. I usually wear the typical stick kind, revlon or nyx mostly, and I reapply whenever the fuck I feel like it because fuck em ;) People are always smearing chapstick on, so I don't worry about it.

16 hours. I’ll look for that.

I always see the ones-- Lime Crimes and the knockoffs-- that look like... they look so delicious, like, really thick, really bright, some are matte and some are glossy and I just think they look like they’d be amazing, but they’re like, $25.

But Mexican Spanish is actually understandable if fast! Though I’m probably biased because I lived in Mexico for three months as a teenager.

Also clearly Spanish Brexit is Espalida.

Oh, yes! Mexican Spanish is beautiful, I really enjoy the accent a lot. It’s just so fast, so so so very fast. No, I actually think it’s my favorite accent-- although, I am one hundred percent certain that there must be many accents of Mexican Spanish; I know very little about Mexico but I do know that it’s much larger than I habitually assume it to be. I can’t really tell the difference yet, but I’m certain there have to be numerous different variations on Mexican accents. There’s like, dozens of regional cuisines and regional folk music genres and such, so it just stands to reason; I just don’t have a gourmet enough palate, as it were, to tell the difference yet.

But I feel like them being the New Yorkers of Spanish holds up. I speak so fast that I routinely have to slow myself down for the benefit of other native English speakers. I’ve actually gotten really good at enunciating without losing speed so that I can cram as many words as possible into a half a second’s worth of conversation space. Middle-Little sister works at a university and was talking last night about how she’s trained herself to speak more slowly, and it’s not the foreign students that have the most difficulty, it’s the native US Southerners. 

(Relatedly, I was listening to an album in the car by a band from southern Arizona, mostly in English, but there’s Spanish mixed in here and there, and the singer addresses the crowd in Spanish sometimes, and he’s fluent sure, he made no errors I could discern, but I could absolutely tell that he had an accent in his Spanish. The big telltale was that he had sloppy-American T’s, the way a lot of us kind of hiss them so it’s not a crisp stop but a soft schmear. “Solo por tchee,” he sang soulfully, rolling the r correctly and just smooshing the T.)

That's a really good question! Eames strikes me as a Seven--he seems motivated mostly by a desire for stimulation and independence, and the description of Sevens as charming and especially good at planning is definitely him:

" Their thinking is anticipatory: they foresee events and generate ideas “on the fly,” favoring activities that stimulate their minds—which in turn generate more things to do and think about. Sevens are not necessarily intellectual or studious by any standard definition, although they are often intelligent and can be widely read and highly verbal. Their minds move rapidly from one idea to the next, making Sevens gifted at brainstorming and synthesizing information. Sevens are exhilarated by the rush of ideas and by the pleasure of being spontaneous, preferring broad overviews and the excitement of the initial stages of the creative process to probing a single topic in depth."

Arthur is a little harder to pin down, IMO. I tend to pull out his Five-ish tendencies when I write him, and I think that he definitely has Five in his tritype if not his main type, since investigation is a big part of his job and I see him being very motivated by knowledge for its own sake. However, I don't think he's as "visionary" or introverted as Fives supposedly are. He could be a Six with a Five wing, but I think this description of a Nine with Eight fits him quite well. And I don't see his relationship with authority being quite as complicated as a Six's would be. 

"[9w8s] make good leaders based on their ability for grand strategy and a talent for co-operation. They excel at management and can handle/balance/maneuver a variety of personalities. Their minds are flexible and they improvise well under pressure without losing their strategic aims… Others may be surprised to know these 9s possess such qualities, for this stack enjoys being underestimated because it keeps others off balance. Their modesty, amiability, and ability to express a bigger vision in simple and straightforward language is often enough to exercise charm over most people who come in contact with them, making them suitable for positions of power and responsibility that require a cool and collected disposition. Their modesty, if not the result of disassociation, often belies a true confidence in themselves and others. There’s nothing grandiose or pretentious about them….Through their line to Six, they can virtually lose themselves in preparations for contingencies and future outlines. This type needs more downtime to refresh themselves and relax. They enjoy their leisure time as a way to keep themselves on an even keel. This style has both mental and physical discipline.... Despite the majority of them being introverts, they have a very externalized and pragmatic focus balanced off by ideals of conduct they try to abide by. They measure themselves to individuals of the past that have some subjective value to them. Their minds are factual and they know their areas of interest much deeper than they let on. They aren’t big personalities, but work their willpower without fanfare..."

Trying to think about other Inception characters...Cobb might be a 4w5. Saito a 3w4 or an 8w7? Ariadne--possibly 5w6, although I get Seven vibes from her as well. I have no idea about Yusuf, sadly. :(
