The Weight We Carry ~ E ~ gingerrose ~ post-TROS canonverse AU ~ secret missions and covert operations ~ 1/16
Tumblr media
Rose Tico is floundering after the war - no home, no family, no purpose. When she is offered the opportunity to be part of a covert group tasked with identifying and neutralizing potential threats to the New Republic, she jumps at the chance.
It's only after their first mission that Rose learns her teammates' identities: an assassin, a spicerunner, a former stormtrooper, and the man who once ordered her execution.
But is he more than that?
Or is he the same cunning, self-serving tactician with his own hidden agenda?
As they train, plan, and execute missions, Rose begins to wonder if she has finally found her purpose. Maybe even a family - with women who fight and love as fiercely as sisters, a boy who needs her as much as she needs him, an overbearing droid, and even a cat.
Is Hux a part of that purpose? That family? Or will his secrets and their consequences destroy it all?
(reblogs appreciated)

I’d love to see an AU where Rose is a senator in the New Republic for the Otomok system, sounding the alarm about the nefarious activities of the First Order! Rose needs more fandom love!

Sometimes a guy in a fanfiction has the ability to read someone's gaze with the same level of detail a wine taster can taste the wine

Halloween isn't the last day of the Spooky Month-- it is the first day, the day that heralds the real MVP of spooky time: November.
October is the friendly part of autumn; the harvest, the bright leaves, the chilly wind, the colorful squash. November is the last pumpkin left rotting in the field, the short days, the dead brown leaves, the cold getting its teeth in. Halloween is the opening act and November is the show.

To everyone who has lush fields ripe with story ideas but is struggling to go out and actually harvest them with your writer’s scythe: that’s alright. There’s a reason.
I see writers despairing or making self-deprecating jokes about how many wips they have, as if the ability to come up with the idea is equal to the ability to finish it out into an end product.
It isn’t.
A lot of our ideas come about, not because we were determined to be productive writers, but because daydreaming is an internal escape from life’s demands.
Writing is a demand, too.
Resting and relaxing are basic needs, unlike the high level, abstract satisfaction of being creatively productive. That’s why you might daydream (which is a mild and normal form of dissociation) ideas that you feel good about, and then struggle to research, write the words, fill plotholes, check grammar, revise— all the critical thinking and executive function things involved in creation. Your basic needs must be satisfied before your higher needs can be met effectively.
So, if you’re daydreaming about your stories extensively to mitigate stress, it’s expecting a lot of your stressed self to return from fantasy land, sit down in the cold hard real world and do the hard work to write masterpieces of literature. Those operations are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Writing is hard. Making yourself feel guilty is only going to make it harder. You don’t have to atone for entertaining or distracting your mind by making that available to other people. Daydreaming is a valid end in itself.
Don’t feel bad about having ideas but not being able to write them. Scribble some notes if you can, if you want, but above all enjoy the escapism and take care of yourself first. The words will come after.

this website is full of some of the greatest writers ever to use their talents for evil and chaos with no payoff whatsoever

neither “that’s not canon” nor “fuck canon we made this all up” but a secret third thing (canon shouldn’t be taken as gospel but is useful as a reference point for building upon and recontextualizing characters and details. if you worship the source material as unchangeable then fandom in general probably isn’t for you. if you have complete disdain for the source material you would probably enjoy yourself more in a different fandom)
