THAT SAID!!!

Vette and Quinn are the only two who are actually trying to do something with their feelings. They're rivals in this case

It's this rivalry that can bring out things he doesn't MEAN to say (eg the shock collar comment in the quinncident) but does so out of a bias he is still forcing himself to wrestle with

so he's learning to be Less Space Racist but since his entire personality is The Empire it takes him a long time.

(this is how I'm coping with/working with the shock collar comment bc otherwise I'd just say 'k ur racist by bitch')

(If wanwo does bring vette to the quinncident and hears that comment, it does break his trust in quinn even more)

Pierce isn't interested in a romantic relationship but a physical one.

He's also Wanwo's workout buddy and they spot for each other all the time.

Pierce skips leg day, Wanwo doesn't.

Wanwo was also very distracting when he plopped down beside him to watch him doing maintenance on his kit and weapons. Even if Wanwo just watched and occasionally made commentary, it was. Very distracting.

Pierce is also the kind of guy who, if he DID manage to get Wanwo in bed, would refuse to be fucked in the ass because he's "a top" and has some weird internalized homophobia going on

(in this situation wanwo would either power bottom or simply skip ass stuff altogether)

LS!Jaesa is still against a romantic relationship in this scenario. She spends the time wrestling with her feelings, her philosophy, and in denial

(It feels a lot like realizing you're gay when you grew up a conservative christian)

tbh Wanwo sees her as a little sister anyways, and regards her romantic feelings as such: Like how a little girl will have a crush on the older brother figure because he's protective and cool and nice to her.

(Years later, even after the defeat of the eternal empire, this still holds true.)

Throughout the entire time his crew is crushing on him, he doesn't realize it. He's bad at noticing these things.

It doesn't help that he gets up close and personal with his crew in ways that are definitely intimate but any romantic intent is a Schrodinger's Cat situation

Like. dude. Why are you squishing Pierce's bicep and asking him how much he can bench press

Why are you leaning in so close to look over Quinn's shoulder at his datapad

The offhanded comment about how well maintained Vette's lekku are and how you're jealous is not helpful

Jaesa doesn't understand why you need to wrap yourself around her to correct her lightsaber stance

You offering to cook everyone's favorite foods isn't helpful either.

everyone and their mother has a crush on lana beniko, who happens to be dating the most emotionally stunted nautolorian of all time

even in tomodachi life, ming long continues to have the worst luck/taste in love, ever. she falls for lana who's in a relationship with the emotionally stunted nautolorian, gets rejected, and then falls for the nautolorian.

like why do you insist on being a home wrecker.

how did wanwo take so goddamn long to fall in love with vette. how could you break her heart. they're married now but how could you i raised you better than this

WHY DOES MY SHARK BOI (gender neutral) NOT LIKE SASHIMI!????!??

YOU ARE A SHARK

For his entire life, his connection to the Force allowed him to connect with the people around him. His teachers and professors at the academy spoke of Force Bonds, but never spoke of someone who could connect with so many all at once. Nor were these bonds be shared between someone who was not blessed with the Force.

Yet Wanwo could create these bonds as easily as he made friends and companions. They may not have had the same depth to the bonds he he had learned about -- he could only tell if someone was safe or injured, in a fight, alive or dying or dead -- but it was still a powerful tool in his arsenal.

It allowed him to be fearless. To put trust in what would be unknown to others. He and his crew from the Fury became an unrelenting strike team, serving the Empire as a tool of precision and destruction.

When he came out of carbonite to the relieved face of Lana Beniko, he couldn't sense her at first. Hybernation sickness wasn't something he was familiar with: he had no understanding of the symptoms, how long he'd take to recover, and frankly the endless swarm of skytroopers gave him little time to ponder. Hell, it wasn't even until they had landed on Odessen he had time to breathe, much less think.

Months passed. He could finally sense Lana and Theron again, just barely, but he no longer could sense his crew from the Fury. Pierce, Quinn, Jaesa and even his love, Vette, all gone. When Theron returned with his ship, and revealed he was still searching, Wanwo simply shook his head. "I can no longer sense their presences in the Force. It is unnecessary to continue searching for them."

More time passed, he wasn't quite sure how long. Days blended together, weeks felt like days and some days felt like months. Running a rebellion occupied all his time and thoughts, and he had no room to ruminate on the past, nor those who had passed. There were people to recruit, smugglers and scientists to pay, soldiers to equip, even more mouths to feed. Who knew running a rebellion was such an expensive operation?

Hylo had a solution in a man named Gault. Gault's harebrained scheme was certainly unorthodox, but Wanwo was no stranger to unorthodox harebrained schemes himself. Soon enough, Dretcher was sent off to join SCORPIO and Senya while Wanwo and Gault were negotiating with Nikto pirates.

He was elated to see his Vette, alive, well, and as quick-witted as ever. He had caught her in his arms when she leapt to the ground, spun her, held her tight and covered her in kisses. But something at the back of his mind pulled at him...

Why didn't he know she was alive? He should have known. He had always known. But now, he was looking over his shoulder every moment just to see if she was still there. He could hear her footsteps, her voice, but couldn't feel her presence.

He was supposed to be better than this. He used to be better than this.

Once they were back on Odessen, coming down from the adrenaline rush, that quiet question grew so loud.

i think it might just be some weird sith curse that wanwo keeps having the worst introductions to cute agents.

wanwo, knowing full well darth baras is a piece of shit, gets jaesa's parents to safety by having them sent to the estate he inherited from his previous master

the one that's on ziost
