tangle of rainbows

i love how the poe dameron fandom is like *chinhands* at all times and all the headcanons are about how wonderful he is

i heard poe dameron never kills a bug, he catches them and releases them into the wild and checks on them later

i heard poe dameron knows the number of every single droid at the resistance base and always asks how they’re doing

i heard poe dameron learned the favorite song of every person in his barracks and sings for someone different every morning while they’re all getting ready for breakfast

i heard poe dameron has had the same bb droid since he was born because he would never hurt the droid’s feelings by selling it

i heard poe dameron calls himself the best pilot int the galaxy but always gives credit for successful missions to the rest of his team

i heard poe dameron will stay up all night listening to someone else’s problems even if he just got back from a mission and hasn’t slept in days

i heard poe dameron always waits to hear everyone else’s opinion before expressing his own 

I heard poe dameron gives his belongings away to anyone who needs them

i heard poe dameron got a stormtrooper to defect and rescue him and then gave the stormtrooper a name

that’s why his hair is so big. it’s full of kindness.

Okay, so it’s September 8th, and for the past two years, I have celebrated Siegfried Sassoon’s birthday with sugary deliciousness, in various forms. This year…well, I made cinnamon rolls. :) Beautiful ones. That are probably too good for this world, too pure. The truth is that this is actually kind of an inside joke regarding another birthday that is tangentially related to Sassoon’s, BUT, it can do double duty. 

So HAPPY 129th BIRTHDAY, SIEGFRIED! Come to the future to celebrate it with us–the cinnamon rolls are delicious. :D

I love how, because of that “Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure” Onion headline, “cinnamon roll” has become a commonly accepted phrase for “a character who is cute and kind and typically gets more pain in canon than they deserve”.

Like, we didn’t have a real phrase for that common phenomenon (wubbie maybe, but that has negative connotations ie “this character has been wubbiefied by the fandom”) and then someone used a screenshot of a headline from a satire news website to describe it, and then everyone else was like “yes good let’s use this”. You couldn’t make that shit up. I bet there are people who use that phrase now who didn’t even see that headline.

Language is evolving right before our eyes in a very weird and beautiful way and I am very very sorry for future linguists who have to puzzle this shit out.  

Please do not feel sorry for the future linguist they are going to love the heck out of this.

you either die a cinnamon roll or live long enough to become a problematic fave
