Mmmmmm post sleep Tennocon Rambles under the cut

Ofc because I just started vet school last week (yay) I couldn’t attend in person. Really sad I couldn’t attend because I’ve always loved it when I went to the 2017 and 2018 events. Had to watch the stream, but it look like from pictures everyone had tons of fun and I’m glad it was a success. Next year, please let it be closer to the middle of the summer akdjejak

Art panel, the highlight for me as always as an artist myself. Really cool to see all the concept works from way back in Dark Sector. I’m so sad the art book was so expensive and sold out so fast, but I hope this means they can be inspired to do a reprint in the future (maybe when food expenses arent draining my bank like a whirlpool….) The new upcoming concepts I can’t say I’m a fan of all too much. Grendel is my most hated frame but the boar is a cool inpiration for him. I personally think the game is very oversaturated with Liger concepts, so as per most Liger deluxes Sevagoth wasn’t my cup of tea. They designed the frame, why not have someone else take a shot as his deluxe? I didn’t catch who designed Yareli’s bu that one was interesting.

And….. the Heirloom skins collection. They’re pretty. I though Mag’s was for Nova and got too excited for a bit. And as a Frost main I’m always glad for more content containing him, hell I squint at his skin because it has a few elements that are strikingly similar to my Deluxe concept for him back in 2021. But. The price. I want to buy it, but this entire collection pitch is exactly what Digital Extremes has vow to not do in all 10 years with their fair free to play model, and this sets a very bad precedent if it were to continue. $90 USD is too high of a price for a pack of skins marketed as being in celebration of 10 years, inflated artificially with the Regal Aya. A pack of 6 (with an extra bonus, making 7 total and 400 platinum) is $40 which means everything in the second tier pack is only $30. The same price as the low tier. The only new thing the skins intoduce are the Signas, which are cool, but I gesture to Kaithe coronets. The skins have no new visual effects for abilities, no new animations, not even new idles like recent Deluxe skins have. Rebecca used the word “prestigious” for describing the pack. And I beg her to NEVER use that word again for cosmetics. Prestigious content is a very slippery slope. Take the Prestige skins from League. Because of those skins Riot is now thinking they can make a variant recolor of a very old Jhin legendary and mark the price up to $200. Warframe doesn’t need that. Not to mention the FOMO. The Heirloom pack is gone at the end of the year. Even past Prime Access comes back in Resurgence after a few years. Nightwave brings back old items from past story events. The only thing that has never returned was the Founders Packs, for a good reason. The Heirloom collection feels like a rehash of the Founders marketing in the present state of them game where it’s most likely not trying to stay afloat. FOMO has never existed in Warframe, and it shouldn’t be added now.

Don’t even get me started on that 10 year Accolade in the packs. Accolades have usually been for people who made a notable contribution to the game. Founders, Closed Beta testers, Creators. All of them have some sort of impact on the game be it keeping it afloat in the starting year or contributing to the Community. Now a shiny sticker can be added to any account for as low as $30. I’ve been playing the game for 8 years. I’m not a ‘10 year supporter’ yet. The wording itself insinuates that to supoort the game for a decade, you need to pay. That Accolade should have been something added automatically when your account turns 10 years old.

Overall I’m extremely disappointed bu the Heirloom marketing as it stands. Will I buy it down the road? Chances are high when I’m not bleeding for food with school going on, which is at the very end of the year right before it goes away cause I also give into FOMO. DE has adjusted their strategies before, and I hope they do so now. But this has already set a bad first impressions for any future Heirloom content.

Anyway, rant over on that. Sound panel was cool. Always cool to hear how specific sounds are made like Kullervo. The Heirloom debacle kinda soured my mood for a bit, so I focused more on studying my classes and then went shopping with my roommates.

Came back a little late to TennoLive, probably halfways thru the Soulframe demo. From what I saw I really like the whole concept and thematic. The little turtle guy is so cute. Excited to see more of its development and eventually play it.

The Warframe aspect I had more range of feelings. Whispers in the Wall looks really cool and I’m excited for exploring what the fuck Albrecht is doing. I love how its expanding Deimos more, instead of adding another island and button to navigation. It feels like it’ll require the New War to access, since its all based around the aesthetic of the Man in the Wall seen at the very end of the quest. I’m very interest in the human Loid (best design from Liger since Nezha Empyrean imo). I hope he gives more insight into the attitudes of the Orokin since he is 99% likely from before the Old War.

And… Warframe 1999. I got sucked into Warframe because of it’s unique spin on fantasy sci-fi. And throughout the 8 years I’ve played it’s stuck to its aethetic formula to a T. Seeing CRT monitors and Nokias along with Entrati designs, the modern sci-fi elements and callbacks to Dark Sector makes it feel out of place. Blasphemous almost. But, I’ve had this feeling before with Duviri. I had reservations as to whether Duviri would break the Warframe Universe as we knew it. But DE made the Paradox make sense, and the aethetic language of the world fits perfectly into the formula. I absolutely love Duviri. I need to see more and play 1999 in order to feel how it connects to the Origin System and Duviri as a whole, be it the very distant past (and being born in 99 myself makes me…. Haaaaa) or a parallel universe connected by Void Fuckery(tm). But seeing how Duviri played out I have no real doubts DE won’t pull it off again.

#i just needed to word vomit #warframe #tennocon 2023 #everything except for the heirloon packs was chefs kiss

Not prev but you and that other anon are talking about ygo so I thought ygo pokemon au?👀

Anon you're on to smth here👀👀

Omf wait no that's dope tho cjxmdm

Anyways here's what I think their ace monsters would be lmfao and like, what summoning method they'd specialize in bc why not lmfaooo

Lance - he would use Blue Eyes White Dragon let's be real, Blue Eyes Alt is his ace and he'd specialize in Fusion summoning, he probs has all the Blue Eyes Fusion monsters too; well, that or Felgrand bc Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand lowkey fits him

Steven - he has the vibes that he knows how to Link summon so let's give him G Golem Invalid Dolmen as his ace

Wallace - lowkey I think he'd have a similar deck to Ryoga and Rio, tho I'm leaning more on Rio's deck bc it fits his vibes so his ace would be Ice Princess Zereort or Number 94: Crystalzero

Cynthia - I want her ace to be Draco Berserker of Tenyi idk it fits the vibes bc it's like Garchomp, really strong but one Ice Beam would probs kill it lmfao

Iris - okay I know she'd have a full Dragon deck I just know it and her ace would be Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon. And ofc she's gonna be the main charac here and what yugioh mc hasn't gone through their bastardization arc amirite so she's also gonna have Number 62: Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon

Diantha - look w the pendant she has I want her to use Pendulum summoning okay she would, I want her to have both Abyss Actor and Solfachord decks, I picture her using Solfachord when out in public bc I see her as someone who'd be a dueltainer, and her ace in her Solfachord deck is ofc DoSolfachord Coolia. In her Abyss Actor deck she'd have Abyss Actor Superstar as her ace, and I picture her using this deck out of the public eye or maybe under a persona bc ofc, no one would expect the elegant shining actress of Kalos to use fiend type monsters, but she loves her Abyss Actors y'know, they're theatre kids like her lmfaooo

Hau - lowkey I see him having the Yosenju deck,, or like,, the Destiny Hero deck, but also the Elemental Hero deck fits him too. But I'm kinda leaning more on the Destiny Heroes one bc that deck plays heavily around the graveyard, and smth smth connection to Decidueye being a Ghost type and all that. Plus it'd be interesting ofc since like the Destiny Heroes deck are said to be based on vigilantes/anti heroes, and it'd be dope to see that while Hau is like, this really carefree guy, he has this side that's like, if you fuck around you're really gonna find out y'know what I'm saying hahah but yeah his ace is Destiny HERO Plasma and like, as a treat he'd also get Destiny HERO Dominance

Leon - okay this one I legit see him having the Odd Eyes deck, he'd also Pendulum summon, I want him and Dia to be dueltainers but Leon's really more on the entertaining side while Dia's there fucking everyone up w her Abyss Actors. It'd be dope too if he snaps he'd summon out Odd Eyes Raging Dragon, but yeah, his ace would be Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon. Tho, normal Odd Eyes and then Odd Eyes Advance also low-key fits his vibes

Geeta - okay Geeta I'd wanna give her the Six Samurai deck, mainly bc of Kingambit,,, and yeah hahah it'd be dope ig bc apparently there wasn't much?? Abt the Six Samurais until they added Legendary Six Samurai Shi En, so yeah that's gonna be Geeta's ace monster hahah I wanna say she's have that and Shadow of the Six Samurai Shien

#idk if this fits but for me it does fit their vibes hahaha #i was gonna give dia like.. a fusion deck yknow yuzu's deck of melodious monsters #but decided against it bc dia w the abyss actors is too good of a mental image hahaha #also #love how Steven's isnt even that in depth its just really one of the few monsters that i think would like #fit his vibes i really cant think much for him sorry steven fans cbdknd #also also #ofc im gon add a tiny bit for villain dia here in the tags #so in my villain au of this dia wouldnt have the Solfachord deck #instead shed have the abyss actors as her main #and then replacing them w the d/d/d monsters bc why not uvu #she deserves it #pokemon champions #ygo au #an ask and an answer #anon #long post #also also also #sorry this took so long i had to look up a lot and i mean a lot of stuff for this one hahaha

tw: none. poe cries some more bc tbh he needs it

Tags: @treestarrrrrrrr @simonsbluee

Poe Dameron liked to think he was simple. He liked flying, and his ship. His best friends were the pilots in Black Squadron. He liked doing repairs at night, it was more peaceful. It was currently three am and he’s currently burning his hand on his X Wings hot oil.

“Shit!” He yelled and pulled his hand away. He shook it, and BeeBee cooed at his feet in concern. “I’m fine buddy.”

“You should listen to your droid, commander.” Leia stood a few feet from his X Wing.

“General.” He ducked under the wing, meeting the elder woman in the clear.

“When is the last time you slept?” The truth was, Poe hadn’t slept since Hosnian, weeks of rumors and whispers and a pair of blue eyes that he saw every time he tried.

“I’ll sleep when the wars over.” Leia laughed, she saw so much of Shara in him. Shara Bey was a woman who would fix the galaxy with her bare hands if she had too. She would do it on her own, and always had a hard time accepting she didn’t have to.

A trait that seemed to pass to her son. “War hasn’t officially started, Dameron, get some rest.” He sighed, and crossed his arms across his chest.

“Has there been any word from the Republic.. From Hosnian?” He asked, dancing around the question that he didn’t want the answers to.

“Queen Amicea had her official coronation two weeks ago, and has sent out wedding invitations to all major senators.” Poe’s chest sunk. He wanted to swoop in and save her, to protect her from this monstrous situation she was in, but she was a grown woman, a queen who didn’t need his protection. Or his help, she had made that very clear. “I’m sorry, I know you loved her.”

He inhaled to protest. They were never officially something, and the mere idea of them could ruin Amicea’s life.

“There’s no need to defend it, Commander.” She offered a sad smile. “your secret is safe with me.”

“We were kids, practically.” He sighed. “I don’t know why I’m so shocked, guess I always knew this was coming.”

“I don’t think anyone expects to stare down the person they loved on opposite sides of a battlefield.” Her eyes were so sad, as if she knew the feeling.

Poe rubbed the back of his neck and stared at his boots. “Get some sleep.” She placed her hand on his shoulder and gave him an apologetic smile, turning and making her exit.

He pulled his comm from his pocket. His hands were shaking, he didn’t know why, it’s not like the call was going to kill him, but here he was, hovering above the communicator buttons.

He hadn't realized he pressed it when he heard the ringing.

“Hello?” The gruffy voice on the other line answered.

“Hey pop, it’s me.”

“Poe, I was so worried, I tried to contact you but they said you left Hosnian.” His dad sounded frantic, worried.

“Sorry pop, I, uh .. I don’t know how to say this.” He sighed. “I left Hosnian to join Leia Organa’s resistance.” There was a dead silence for a solid moment, and Poe was expecting the worst, like a child who just got caught sneaking sweets before dinner.

“As soon as I heard about her resistance, I knew it wasn’t long before you joined up.” Kes Dameron considered him a simple man as well, and all he wanted was his son to be safe, and away from the firefight. But Poe was more Bey than Dameron most days. “I don’t like it, but that’s because I don’t want to lose you too.”

Too. Poe bit his lip, they weren’t the closest father-son set in the galaxy, but they were all each other had left.

“You won’t pop, the general is trying to keep this away from another great war.” Poe didn’t believe that this would end peacefully and neither did Kes, but it was better to lie for now than face what was coming.

“I hope so, it’s always been my greatest fear, you having to fight the wars we did.” His dad sounded exhausted, not just in a sleep deprived way, but in the way of someone who was running on a short supply of hope. “But you know that.”

“Yeah, I do.” He nodded, even though Kes couldn’t see.

“Get some sleep, Poe.”

“I don’t need -”

“I can hear it in your voice, get some rest mijo.” Poe smiled, the old nickname felt like a warm blanket on a cool Yavin summer night.

“You too Pop, I’ll call soon.”

“I love you, Poe.”

“Love you too, pop.”

Poe Dameron had cried more in these past few weeks than he had in his whole life. But when he was done, he finally got some sleep.

He was also a man of routine, so when he finally did wake up from his much needed rest, he walked through his autopilot of a morning. He showered, dressed, and headed for the command center. It was always bustling with life and work to do, it was relaxing, kept his head out of the clouds.

“You’re Poe, right?” He turned, and saw a taller, older man standing next to him.

“Yeah, and you are?” Poe extended his hand, his face was weary with caution, but he needed friends.

“Friends call me Snap.” He smiled. “I’m gonna be flying under you in Blue Squadron.”

“Snap Wexley?!” He exclaimed. “Was your mom Norra Wexley?”

“Yeah.” Snap nodded. “Why’s that?”

“My mom was Shara Bey, they flew together!” Snap’s face lit up, and the command center came to a screeching halt. Those who didn’t know that Poe was Rebellion Royalty, they did now.

“No way, that’s crazy.” Snap’s eyes were happy, and carefree. Poe was laughing and exchanging stories of times their mothers would fly around them as kids, leaving them awestruck.

Poe left out that he was eight the last time he saw Shara fly, but he was so happy to finally have a friend.

“Blue Squad is having a bonfire tonight, you should stop by.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

“So what’s your full story, why is the son of two legendary rebel fighters just now joining the cause?” The little brunette spoke up from her side of the fire, she was still in her flight suit, just pulled down and tied around the waist. Pava, she said her name was, goes by Jess, he was trying to learn names, but he was always terrible at remembering them.

“I was with the New Republic Starfighter Corps, flew a couple missions, nothing crazy. Didn’t even know this was a thing till like two months ago if I’m honest.” He chuckled and took a drink of the shitty rum floating around the group.

“I heard that you got a diplomatic assignment to pilot some King.” Poe’s eyebrows went to his forehead. So much for confidential.

“It was a Queen, and yes, I was in charge of transporting her from her planet to Hosnian Prime. I got into a dogfight and was pulled out of my squad for a month.”

“What planet?” Snap asked, he was sitting on a crate, leaned forward, interested in whatever he was about to say.

“Adrora.” He shrugged as if talking about it wasn’t ripping him to pieces.

“I heard she’s hot. Did you lay her?” Pava questioned, and all eyes were on him.

His throat felt like it was covered in cement as he swallowed. “Excuse me?”

“Oh please tell me you’ve had the talk, Dameron.”

“I’ve had the talk I just don’t like the nature of the question.” He defended himself. The answer was yes, but he didn’t need that piece of information floating around a rebel base.

“Before or after she got engaged to the General’s son?” Pava leaned back onto a tree. Poe’s face drained of color.

“To who?”

“Pava…” Snap began. “Crossing a line.”

“It’s common knowledge in command.” She shrugged. Poe’s world was spinning so fast he felt like he couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

“Because we heard it from her!” Pava rolled her eyes and stood.

“Well now he knows, save the general one more heartache.” She walked off.

“I don’t think anyone expects to stare down the person they loved on opposite sides of a battlefield.”

“Don’t worry about it Dameron, she’ll calm down.”

“Y-yeah, It’s alright.” He looked at Snap, he couldn’t breathe. It explained so much. “I have to make a call.” He stood, setting his bottle down.

“If it’s to that Queen, drop it.” Snap grabbed his arm. “She made her choice.”

“What choices did she have?” He ran a hand through his hair. “What choices do any of us have..” He mumbled and walked off to his quarters.

His fingers shook above the button once more, but this time he pressed the power button and put it away.

“So you were never scared?”

His father laughed softly. “I didn’t say that. I’m saying that what I was afraid of then isn’t what scares me now.”

“What’re you afraid of now?”

Poe watched his father raise his eyes from the fence and stare up into the dusk sky. The sun had almost slipped behind the gas giant, and in the last moments of daylight everything seemed oddly brighter, more sharply in focus.

“That it was all for nothing,” his father said.

pilot this!

summary: she didn’t ask to be rescued. she totally had it under control... okay, that’s a lie, but did leia have to send dameron? pairing: poe dameron x ofc word count: 2.3k a/n: a new story set before the force awakens. will most likely follow the plot of poe’s comic series! a slow burn! mel’s a bad-ass princess! poe is an insufferably perfect pilot! buckle up, babes!

“Get your filthy hands off of me!”

Senator Melieva Solusar has gotten herself into something she wasn’t quite sure she was going to be able to get herself out of.

The hulking crimson guards have strong grips on her arms and the young, wide-eyed politician was sure that these men weren’t going to let her see the light of Hosnian Prime again. Struggling, she finally shook the guards off when she was tossed into the private dining area of the one and only Senator Erudo Ro-Kiintor.

He was a skinny man, bald and beady-eyed. One might have likened him to a Cerulean hook hawk, with a long protruding nose and a crooked, snide smile. The man was as intimidating as a jawa, really, as even Melieva was sure she could have snapped the man in two. However, it was the towering personal guards looming behind the seated senator that made the young spitfire of a woman hold her silvertongue.

“I invite you as guest aboard my yacht, Senator Solusar,” his voice is low, eyes trained on the piece of meat before him. Spiny fingers balance a carving knife and a fork, severing the fillet in two with a violent slicing motion, “and you thank me by snooping in my personal artifacts?”

Mel watches as he picks at his dinner, chewing thoughtfully as his eyes scan her face and look for any fleeting glimpse of guilt. Mel, huffing and snarling slightly, thinks perhaps she should have gone into acting rather than politics. Her tone sounds convincing, she thinks.

“I’m not quite sure I know what you’re talking about, Senator, and I don’t take lightly to being accused.”

Nicely played, Mel. Keep up the act long enough and the traitor might actually believe you.

In all fairness, Ro-Kiintor’s accusations were completely true. The young senator wasn’t aboard Senator Ro-Kiintor’s yacht the Hevurion Grace to make friends nor wine nor dine. Though her moves had suggested so in Senatorial meets back in the capital and at Galactic Senate functions, Solusar had her own suspicions. Suspicions she shared in confidence with her follow New Republic Senator, General Leia Organa. Melieva’s father, now a retired politician with strong ties to the Senate, didn’t believe the First Order was a feasible threat— neither did a lot of the capital. But, deep down, Mel knew that there was something there.

Something terrible.

“Do go on, Senator Solusar,” he crowed sarcastically, “It’s not as if we don’t have the surveillance to prove it.”

Damn.

THREE HOURS EARLIER:

“This is the Hevurion Grace, Senator Erudo Ro-Kiintor’s personal yacht,” Leia explains. “It’s a Pinnacle-class luxury ship, made by Vekker Corp. I’ve seen Pinnacles once or twice before. They’re exclusive ships, everything aboard handmade, or so Vekker advertises. Only the very wealthy can afford them. They trade luxury for efficiency, practically hang an invitation off the hull for pirates saying, ‘Money in here.’ And this is where our loyal friend Senator Melieva Solusar is being held.”

“Never heard of her,” the man under Leia’s gaze offers, arms crossed and dark eyes tracing the outline of the luxury ship’s holo-print.

Flight Commander Poe Dameron. Best there is, really. Even if the young, hotheaded pilot was on the New Republic’s no-fly list, Leia couldn’t hide her adoration for the man. He was brash, witty, good-natured... His mother, Shara Bey, had meant a lot to Leia. She had passed on her looks and her skills in the cockpit to her son Poe. Now, Poe stood before her, just as his mother did long ago.

Leia stands to his right, a gentle hand signaling to her ever so obedient gold, C series protocol droid. “Threepio, if you would, please.”

The holo chimes into static and blips up with a projection of a wide eyed young woman as C-3P0 nods. “Of course, princess.”

Poe narrows his eyes, motioning to the holo with an open palm. “Isn’t she a little young to be a Senator? The holo says she is only twenty-three years old.”

Leia tosses him a smirk at him from across her office in Home One. “Mind who you’re speaking to, Commander Dameron.”

The star Resistance pilot straightens his shoulders as he blinks, shaking his head as a chuckle rises from his throat. He forgets sometimes who she is. This legendary woman, General to the Resistance and youngest Senator to ever hold a seat in the Galactic Empire, simply smiles and circles the hologram.

“Her protocol droid C0-N9 broadcasted a distress signal about an hour ago. She was on an assignment to gather information on Senator Ro-Kiintor’s involvement with the First Order. I presume she’s been found out, and I need her back safely. Her father has no idea she’s aboard. The old grouch thinks she’s out in the outer rim, furthering unstable trade unions.”

“I’m assuming this is where I come in?” Poe’s eyes are trained on the hologram of the young senator. Her formal gown and intricate hairstyles suggest a spoiled lifestyle to him and the small crystal band circling her head reminds him who he’s really dealing with. Royalty.

“Yes,” Leia motioned to the hologram of the Hevurion Grace, “Remember that bit about pirates that I mentioned?”

NOW:

“This vessel is now property of the Irving Boys!”

Of course. As if there weren’t already enough problems.

The luxury yacht had exited hyperspace only to be ambushed by pirates and gunned dead in the stars as panic set in onboard. She was hauled off alongside Senator Ro-Kiintor by his guards as the vulture-like man barked order at the pilot to broadcast a distress signal. The once intricately blue lit hallways were now darker than ever, and once the lights finally came back on they bathed everything in crimson just as they came face to face with one single pirate.

The guards hault, gazes set on the man. For a moment, the hallway is quiet.

Mel’s head tilts, brows knotting. Just... one?

“Hands up!”

His EVA suit was bulky, and the voice barking orders at them was mechanical and deep. The blaster carbine in his hands almost looked comically small and Mel had to bite back a laugh. Did he really think he was going to be able to secure this ship alone?

The bald senator spluttered. “Do you know who I am? How dare—”

The pirate fired a shot at the deck, sending sparks into the air and catching the guards off kilter. Mel winces as blaster shots ring out around her, small hands moving to cover her eyes from the bright bolts. When she peels her eyes open, both guards are sprawled on the floor to her sides.

He’s a good shot.

“Mine!” He roars. His eyes land on Mel and she recoils slightly in fear. “You’re good stock! You’ll make a fine slave!”

Suddenly, the man is dredging forward, grasping Melieva’s wrist and hauling her over his shoulder. She yelps, shrieking profanities in her native tongue and struggling in the firm hold of the pirate. His fists connect with the back plating of his EVA suit as she squirms.

Ro-Kiintor blanches, recoiling to hide behind his servant. “Now… now, let’s not do anything hasty….”

“You have ten seconds to leave my ship!” The man in the EVA suit bellows, “Or else you’ll be mine, too!”

He fires a second shot into the deck for emphasis. The senator, the pilot, and the servant practically trample one another running for the escape pods as Mel was left alone to deal with this member of the Irving Boys.

Poe winces as she pounds his back and shrieks in his ear. The impact he made making the jump from his unmarked Z-95 to the boarding hatch of the ship was enough to knock the air out of his lungs and leave his head spinning, so the pilot wasn’t about to let the woman continue to struggle in his arms. She was stronger than she looked. Poe trudged to the elevator and proceeded to unceremoniously dump the Senator on the marble-slated floor as the door hissed closed.

He instantly regretted the decision.

“You no good, kriffing piece of bantha fodder!” Melieva didn’t care if her chiffon dress was hiked to her thighs as she kicked at his ankles with her dangerously spiked heels. In one swoop of her foot, she made contact with his groin. The man's yelps of pain were followed by expletives as he dropped to the floor of the elevator and began to wrestle with the senator, trying to subdue the lithe little spitfire. Her voice roars, more threats leaving her lips as she lands punch after punch.

Poe, underneath his helmet, is sweating trying not to hurt the --

“Hey! Stop that! OW! Stop! I’m with the Resistance, damn it!”

Melieva freezes, going slack under the man in the suit and furrowing her brows. “What?!”

“The name’s Poe Dameron,” Poe clutches his crotch in fear of another strike, his other hand outstretched and posed in surrender, “I’m with the Resistance. General Organa sent me.”

“She sent... you.”

Silence. His EVA helmet stares blankly back at her.

“...One man with a tiny blaster?”

Poe blinks down at the carbine.

“Well,” his head tilts, the visor glinting in the elevator’s lights, “Technically she sent four of us, but the other’s are a little tied up at the moment.”

Another blast rocks the ship. Of course. Ro-Kiinor’s guards. They’d mobilized.

Mel can’t help but drop her head against the floor and close her eyes. “This is so not how I saw today going.”

Poe didn’t either. His helmet bars her from seeing his actual face, and he’s thankful for it. He’s pale; that crotch-shot did him in good. “Come on, we need to go. My team is waiting for us to make the jump.”

“That’s wonderful, Poo,” she chides, mucking his name up and standing to smooth out her dress. Mel’s eyes narrow, “But, I have some important things to sort out.”

“It’s Poe.”

“I don’t care, Moe.”

The elevator doors chime open, and Mel moves quickly, ducking out of his grasp and bolting down the hall.

“Argh!” Poe groans loudly, exasperated and breathless from pain. He waves his arms in the air. “Hey! Where are you going?! We need to go!”

“I’m not leaving without my droid!” her shouts echo off the walls as she quickly peels around the corner and throws herself into her private quarters. The rusted and out-dated droid shuffles out from the den, arms waving in an ecstatic motion at the sight of its master. “Miss Solusar! Y-Y-You’re back!”

Mel makes a mental note to check into his systems malfunction. The vocal destabilization was getting worse.

She smiles at the droid. “Ready to get off this over glorified refresher, En-Nine?”

“W-W-Why I thought you’d never ask.”

Her hands fly to the draw beside her bed and retrieve the datastick. It contained the ships logs, messages between Ro-Kiintor and General Hux, as well as specs on First Order ships. Maybe more. Melieva hadn’t had the time to sift through the entire data splurge. She was too busy ducking the suspicions of the rogue Senator. Tucking the stick into the front of her dress, Melieva motions for her chrome protocol droid C0-N9 to follow her.

That man, Poe Dameron, was settled by an evac pod, waiting in the open doors for the Senator. Poe couldn’t help but tap his foot impatiently. The brat of a Senator had run off, and now he’s stuck feeling like some glorified cabbie. There wasn’t any time to waste. Soon enough, the Hevurion Grace’s distress signal would be intercepted and—

Snap’s voice echoes in the helmet of his EVA suit.

“Commander, we’ve got more company.”

The entire ship is rocked with the appearance of a Star Destroyer.

His comms suddenly light up, his entire team warning him that they’ve been intercepted and are now facing hordes of TIE fighters. Jessikka, Iolo and Karé are now locked in dogfights, their maneuvers rocking the comms in his suit helmet.

“Mind speedin’ things up, Commander?” It’s Iolo’s voice again, “We’re not making this jump without you.”

“Iolo, Jessikka, Karé,” Poe’s tone is sharp, “Make the jump. I’ve got the senator, I’ll be right behind you. That’s an order.”

“All due respect sir,” Karé snickers into the comms, “No.”

Just as Poe’s about to open his mouth and battle back, Mel skids around the corner, her protocol droid shuffling close behind her. She’s breathless, hair wild as she gives him a look.

“What are you doing?” she bites, “We need to go.”

“Oh, right,” he snips back, “Sorry, I was busy warming your seat.”

Mel pushes past him, hiking her dress up as she does so, clambering into the co-pilots seat as Dameron hauls himself into piloting mode. His eyes dark eyes are trained on the black of space being lit with the contending fire of the TIE’s and the squadron of Z-95’s. The senator watches him carefully, noticing the lack of hesitation as the man punched in the coordinates and warmed the hyperdrive.

“You know how to fly this thing?”

“I can fly anything.”

Poe’s signature grin floods his face as he keys in his comms to the cockpit’s speakers, ditching his EVA helmet and relishing in the fresh air. The suit reeked of plastic and sweat, and Poe wants nothing more than to brush his teeth. Carding a hand through helmet-haired curls, he checks in with his team.

“You guys ready to ditch these bucketheads?”

There’s a chorus of approval from the squadron as Poe punches in the coordinates for D’Qar, offering a look to the Senator. “Ready?”

She knows who he is now. He’s the one that went against direct New Republic orders about six months prior. He had been a high-up in the Republic’s Navy, someone who her father had petitioned to court-martial. Instead, General Organa recruited him and annulled his actions. Mel hadn’t realized he was so... pretty. Giving a slight nod, the young senator was just glad to get away from the entire fiasco as the slip of hyperspace enveloped them.

Within seconds, the familiar planet of D’Qar was before them. In the distance, the glow of her home system shone in the sky.

“Welcome back, Senator.”

What to watch with: Innokenty Smoktunovsky

Heyo peepers it is this time again, me cherry picking actors from Russian Holmes adaptations and acting like you’re interested in checking out their other works. If you somewhat appreciated Yank the last time then prepare to strain your memory big time as today it is the time of That Prime Minister Dud From The First XX Century Approaches Episode Remember The Missing Letter Plot Yeah That One The Second Guy Yes - Innokenty Smoktunovsky.

Welcom, babes, this man is the most legendary actor of the Soviet cinema. Well, let’s tone it down a bit just out of basic modesty and say “one of the most legendary” but you know how things really are, this is the Alpha Slav of Soviet acting. Incidentally, one of the newest additions to my “Actors Welcome To Raw Me” list, because telling you now, ma dudes, that legendary status? no fucking lie. The man is a Legend. And boy oh boy his acting must be seen. So without further ado:

1. Hamlet (1964)

Oh mi fuking gud Draco!1111" (c) My Immortal

Smoktun’s involvement: Hamlet, main role

2 episodes, ~1h11mins each | Youtube, English subtitles | Both eps in one

What and why: hohoho. So, you know that Shakespearean Delivery(tm) and actors overhamming the text that sounds like trying to understand English while having a stroke, and your antagonistic relationship with the classics and boring ass adaptations your English teacher showed to you and you questioning your tastes and wondering who teh fuck actually enjoys all this? Well, this movie demonstrates that you were not wrong for a second, it’s just all these Shakespereans who are up their own asses to realise the scale of bullshit. THIS MOVIE is a fucking masterpiece, and became one of my faves pretty much instantly. All of the actors truly LIVE on screen, just like the good ol’ Stanislavsky wanted, the drama is real, the emotions are raw, it feels ALIVE and ENGAGING. The actual use of the scenery and black and white is even more spectacular, the views and the scale of production will hit your ass almost in every shot, the movie is very stylish and makes its b&w palette a whole important feature. And, obviously, Smoktun himself - that goes without saying. He is emo, he is angery, he is sexey, he is draco everything. I recommend this with all my heart.

2. Beware of the Automobile (1966)

when will the gay feelings end

Smoktun’s involvement: Yuri Detochkin, main role

~1h28mins | Youtube, English subtitles (with an annoying delay) | 1080p babe

What and why: an extremely noice comedy about a CRIMINAL, who STEALS CARS, in order to SELL THEM, and sends the money to ORPHANAG- wait wat. This horrible CRIMINAL is very PROFESSIONAL and demonstrates his evident ability NOT TO SHIT HIMSELF CONSTANTLY, and he is also NOT A LOSER, and this film is actually a VERY serious DETECTIVE STORY that is NOT GAY. Honestly? An extremely blessed movie that is totally worth a watch. Also: the meta gag of Smoktun playing Hamlet. Again.

3. Moscow-Cassiopeia (1973) and Teens in the Universe (1974)

I.O.O allowed me to post this

Smoktun’s involvement: I.O.O, mysterious secondary character

2 films, ~1h19mins each | sovietmoviesonline, English subtitles | 1 | 2 (annoying nag to register still applies)

What and why: they’re really should’ve been just two episodes but it looks like the producers decided to be original, two “”movies”” a year apart instead. KIDS SCI-FI YALL. God, I enjoyed these way too much. A mission is set up to send a bunch of boys and girls on a long ass journey to Cassiopeia, so by the time they reach it they will be all grown up respectful pals and gals. The first movie is all about making it happen, the second one is a straight up space adventure. I personally just enjoyed all of it, the kids were actually pretty nice actors, the sicc effects and props were charming, teh ADVENTURE!! was a joy to watch, and, of course, the mysterious I.O.O - who is he? What are his powers? Is he from this planet at all? We will never know. I personally liked these, what can I say, and I.O.O is a mysterious binch.

4. They Fought For Their Country (1975)

fuck yo boots, protag

Smoktun’s involvement: a surgeon, very minor role

2 episodes, ~1h15mins each | Youtube, English subtitles | EP1 | EP2

What and why: Smoktun is honestly is just an excuse, the movie itself is one holy hell material. Sergey Bondarchuk, after all. The plot is as simple as ass: a bunch of soldiers retreating, engaging into battles, living their lives. What is an absolutely breathtaking part of it is the BATTLES. HOLY SHIT THE BATTLES. Bond is Bond, y’all, he just fucking rolled actual tanks and planes on the set, and blew up actual villages (built specifically for the movie ofc), and this is the most intense, terrifying, and fuckin AWESOME thing of all. No cool cgi slowmo bullshit, all you need is to see how things really were back then, and that’s all it takes to realise the true horror of war. This is an incredible film, that’s all I can say, it is very powerful in a very simplistic manner, no gore or pathos, just simple realities. Cannot recommend it enough.

5. Nine Days In One Year (1962)

radiates science

Smoktun’s involvement: the secondary third-wheeling science ass

~1h45mins | sovietmoviesonline, English subtitles and dub | rad

What and why: a nuclear movie without a conclusive ending about scientists, radiation, and the prices paid for discovery. Has very rad thoughts in it that are still very relevant, lots of bombing mansplaining and science nerds. Smoktun there is as great as always, totally radiant. The actual main hero and the themes will also get a reaction out of you. Again, has its flaws, but overall it is a very good movie, although nothing gets physical. Rad.

Honourable mentions:

1. The Star of Captivating Happiness (1975)

some evil-ish dud | wrote about it before | the movie’s still a pain in the ass

2. Crime and Punishment (1969)

that important dud who makes the protag confess | 2 episodes, ~1h42mins each | sovietmoviesonline, English subs | boink

Imo this movie was a fucking chore did not enjoy at all 0/10 but Smoktun is as great as always so here’s that

3. The Legend of Thyl (1976)

King Charles V | 5 episodes, ~1h20mins each | Youtube, no subtitles | playlist

Nothing matters in this movie as the first episode or two where he’s engaged in softcore porn of smooching tit on screen and then just does a gr8 job of being a magnificent dud with a big charming smile, death threats and weird sounds

4. The Princess and the Pea (1976)

King | ~1h24mins | Youtube, no subtitles | boink

Apparently the movie is meh but Smoktun and his Queen were gr8 to watch, he’s a bit problematic, has a questionable fashion sense, skeptical, charming, does a wheeze for no reason and falls on his face, everyone just rolls their eyes.

5. Cherry Orchard (1976)

Protag’s brother | ~2h48mins | filmed stage play | Youtube, no subtitles | boink

Literal stage play that was filmed for TV, pretty typical. Contains chaotic evil Solomin who grabs tits and does faces and bullies poor Smoktun. Smoktun himself is extremely noice as always, as well as the entire cast, actually, and his chemistry with his sister is rather alarming.

Final comment: Smoktunovsky is one of the truly greatest actors who have ever ascended on this pitiful planet. His skill is incredible, his works are amazing, I could’ve easily added like 5 more of whatever movies/filmed plays here. Here’s a thing: when an actor, singer or any other great person had their coffin taken outside in front of the public to get transported during a public funeral service, nobody ever clapped in Russia, ever. When Smoktunovsky’s coffin was taken outside in 1994, suddenly, the crowd exploded into an ovation. The reaction was mixed no doubt, but one fact stays: since 1994, every single funeral ends with the public sending their beloved entertainer on their final journey with applauding for everything they have done, and have been. And it all started with Innokenty Smoktunovsky.

#innokenty smoktunovsky #what to watch #hoooo boi #that was big #he is my fave so yeah no surprise
