Poe winked up at the trooper who had used his hands. “Good job.”

I love this flirt and I hope he has another damsel in distress moment in VIII.

FIRST LOOK: ‘POE DAMERON’ COMIC EXPLORES POE’S ADVENTURES BACK BEFORE HE MET AND FELL IN LOVE WITH FINN

Phasma Headcanon

So, after finding out that Finn was Phasma’s favorite and she actually wanted to move him up to general, I was thinking…

Imagine if Phasma had a soft spot for Finn. And one day her and Finn had and encounter. Phasma stares at Finn.

“I can’t believe you would betray us FN-2187. You could’ve been great.”

“My name is Finn, Phasma. I have a name! And I am great, I’m greater than I ever was as part of the first order.”

Phasma pauses for a second. “FN- Finn, are you happy?”

“Happier than I’ve ever been.”

Phasma nods, and then does something unexpected. She surrenders. See, it’s not that Phasma isn’t evil, but really, she’s more in it for the paycheck than anything else. And to be honest, being an evil big-bad is pretty soul crushing if your hearts not really in it.

So they take her back to the base as a prisoner. At first, she isn’t cooperative, but neither is she combative. She just kinda is. Every once in a while Finn visits her, hoping that maybe she can be part of the rebels like him. His visits are breif, tense, and littered with akward silences but they regard each other with a sort of respect.

Eventually Pasma starts cooperating. And ever so slowly but surely she, like Finn before her, becomes a valuable asset to the resistance.

First she bonds with Finn, they both have the same story, betraying the first order and joining the rebels. She watches him grow as a soldier and mentors him, she tries to resist his kindess rubbing off on him, but it’s impossible for his constant kindness and compassion not to rub off on her slightly. So she softens, it’s an ever so slight, barely noticable change, but she does.

Eventually she comes to view him as a son. She remains aloof and distant, but now it’s tinged with a quiet sort of dignified possessiveness. Not claiming Finn as her posesion, but rather as her kin.

Eventually Finn decides to formally introduce Poe to her.

“Phasma, this is Poe, he’s my- um… my-”

“Yes, Finn, I know who he is, and who he is to you.” She is rather unimpressed.

“He is the one who gave me my name.”

“Not very creative is he?” Poe shifts uncomfortably.

“Well, I just kinda wanted to formally introduce you two.”

And then it clicks for her. She was the parent the boyfriend was being introduced to. She sighs, for she is not particularly fond of Poe. He’s a cocky, goody-two-shoes, pretty boy. Really, if Finn was going to desert the first order for a rebel crush, couldn’t he at least have the decency to at least fall for the jedi? Ugh, and the faces the two of them constantly made at each other! Every time they parted ways they acted as if they weren’t going to see each other for years and when their paths crossed again they acted as if the years HAD passed.

Phasma didn’t like Poe, but Finn did.

Her eyes bored into Poe’s soul. Were she an enemy, he would have know how to handle this. But this was, essentially, his boyfriend’s mom.

“Finn speaks highly of you. I trust you to live up to those expectations.” Her tone seemed to add ‘or else’. Aloof as always she walks away.

Poe has no idea what just happened and feels terrified. Finn is split between feeling mortified at the whole thing, and giddy, because that’s as close as Phasma will ever get at giving him her blessing.

Phasma and Leia’s relationship is a little simpler. Phasma respects a good leader no matter whom. And General Organa is a great leader. Smart, resourceful, and incredibly intimidating for someone her stature. Leia grudgingly returns that respect. Phasma is collected, ferocious, and fuck if that woman doesn’t know how to loom. Eventually the start to compare notes, trying to better their intimidation work. The two end up becoming inseparable, much to the chagrin of anyone ever caught in one of their patented dual glares.

Happy early V-Day everyone! <3

poe dameron looks like beer but when u take a sip he’s actually fucking apple juice

Actually, he’s fucking Finn.

you guys wanna hear a sad story called ‘finn rescuing poe was a much bigger deal to poe emotionally than the movie let on’?

listen. i know that poe being the resistance golden boy is a really popular headcanon, but in ‘before the awakening’ we learn two things about him:

so here’s the thing now. the political landscape around the time poe joins the resistance looks like this: the republic and the first order are engaged in a ‘don’t bomb us and we won’t bomb you’ sort of deal, with a neutral zone between their respective territories. for some incomprehensible reason the republic doesn’t think the first order is a big deal. the resistance, which the republic sooort of supports on the down low, thinks the first order is an enormously big deal and wants to stop them. the problem? they can’t do it by engaging the first order directly because it would violate the agreement with the new republic and potentially start a war.

enter poe dameron, disillusioned republic officer, who wants to do something about this. so when leia recruits him for the rebellion he’s 100% on board. but before leia sends him on his first mission she tells poe, with exactly zero sugar coating, that he can back down, but if he accepts and later gets caught he’s on his own. the republic, and by extension the resistance, must deny all involvement in whatever he was doing or risk open war with the first order.

on jakku, like on his first mission for the resistance, poe goes undercover, out of uniform and with a stripped x-wing

and he gets caught and tortured and has his secrets, including his ties with the rebellion, found out

all his snarking and posturing happens to the background of poe being acutely aware that no one is coming for him

if hux decided to livestream his torture directly to leia, she’d have to stand there and say she has no idea who poe is

the resistance isn’t going to rescue him, ransom him, or admit to having any connections with him.

poe is probably very aware that he’s going to die soon, alone and without having done much for the cause he believes in. 

and then finn comes and saves him, knight-in-shining-armor style

so yeah. think about that sometime.
