Maccready is such an entertaining companion because he doesn't like it when you talk your way out of fighting most of the time BUT he likes helping the Minutemen. Honestly? Not sure it was intentional on their part but props to Bethesda for making his follower affinity morals match a confused, lost, miserable young guy in his early 20s who's trying to figure things out.

Baekhyun sighed, muted the groupchat and ruffled his hair. The last drops of the coffee dripped in the mug like rain falling into a puddle and only got up to restock on his sole energy. Like he told them, business men don't sleep if time's still running.
He was back at home in his small penthouse after spending an entire day with, what the media loves to call them, SM's Most Valuable Treasures, that is until their boy group have a next comeback. Working with Sehun and Kai is like trying to put curious toddlers back sleep— they don't shut up.
If Baekhyun had a penny for evertime Sehun Jongin said anything unfunny and laughed, he'd be twice as rich compared to now.
In his home wear outfit, composed by a simple white tea and joggers, he walked across the room to his kitchen, phone still in hand. Raven huh? He grinned smugly and leaned against the counter. Let's see what she's all about.
Its not like he had anything better to do; there was a stack of emails he had yet to reply to any of them (that's because most of them are customer reviews that are still sent to his email despite making it explicitly clear to his secretary that he didnt want them anymore) and decided to enjoy his evening. Well, that is until Sehun and Jongin mentionned this oh-so popular persona named Raven.
Obviously, he stalked her instagram and Twitter, thumb scrolling, eyes scanning and reading every tweet on her page. "Is this what people are interested in nowadays?" He laughed. "That's depressing." He wasn't used to the slang or cool features the teens were invested in. He'd always envy them though. "So what? A girl exposing people? Sounds pretty idiotic to me, ruining peoples lives and all."
His eyes caught her most recent tweets and, like curiosity killed the cat, he clicked on the link of her latest tweet, which brought him to a podcast waiting room.
"Oh," he mumbled, returning to his couch. With gliding feet again, Baekhyun voiced out, "Alexa!" The voice answers. "Listen to... S-Spill The Tox—"
"Do you mean... Spilling The Toxic Tea w/ Raven on Spotify?" Baekhyun’s eyes rose ever so slight, intrigued yet cold eyes looked at the small device on his shelf directly next to the TV.
"Yes? I don't know."
The chime of the podcast played for a brief second but the voice comes out dark and distorted yet small... and sounds like a kid. Imagine if it was a kid, Baekhyun snickered. He turned out his phone, "alexa, play STTT(?)."

Poadcast Title: STTT w/ Raven Ep. 54: Let's Get Real
[3…]
[2...]
[1...]
*chime starts*
She's here, she's there, she's everywhere, who you gonna end? That's So Raven (plagiarized!)!
*GO!*
I mean, I really hope you don't end me, that'd be so inconvenient for you guys. Like imagine killing the only person who kept your sanity in check, you motherfuckers will be dropping like flies left in right!
Anyways, I hope everyone is doing okay, I'm fine I guess? I'm just emotionally drained and it sucks because with everything going on, now is not the time to get tired but here we are. I hope everyone is okay, even you ugly personality ones that have nothing matter to do except throw hate at innocent people, I hope yall recover.
Because today is Thursday, I'm not going to waste any time and immedately start on the spilled tea, cause that's what half of you guys are here for! Although, everyone should also watch my podcasts on Tuesdays— they're just as entertaining and dont involve ruining people's lives... ish.
But imagine this; you're a man, tall, handsome and making millions before the start of your career. You have thousands of fans all over the world, the most being in South Korea. You, fully knowing this fact, try your best to avoid any scandals or misinformation. You painted yourself into a portrait of a perfect man, perfect husband and perfect father. Your famous smile fools everyone, even to your own wife because when the smile drops, you go the neatest hotel and sleep with your mistress for the last three years.
"Get on with it," Baekhyun rolled his eyes and got up from his seat, his mug felt empty and needs to filled once more. He mockingly scoffed, an agitated smile playing on his lips. "I bet you're just talking because you have no one to talk about or proof."
The deepened distorted feminine voice chuckled through the radio and even if the podcast was precorded, it sounded like she was mocking him for not believing her podcasts, the kind of laugh that screamed "just you wait." He glared at the device standing on his tall beige multiple squared shelf with shining silver outline. Baekhyun rolled his eyes again and refilled the mug.
... not only did you cheat on your wife on your first year anniversary since you were married, you also blamed her for your relationship problems revealed in a voice recording that had yet to be leaked... by me of course. Imagine blaming your wife, the same one that you're cheating, for relationship troubles while you're fucking another woman. Embarrassing.
You, still acting as the son of a bitch, also payed seventeen thousand dollars for his mistress birthday party, to which he addened with his wife. God, it just keeps getting worse. You also stole money form the charity galas you were organizing, caught at a lingery store before ans people blew it off thinking you both the garments for your CURRENT wife but was for your mistress. Oh, not to mention that your mistress just turned 19 and you met her three years prior. Damn Siwon, looks like you got your hands tied.
The scorching hot coffee that was slipping down his throat came back up like a rocket, and a shower of coffee and saliva blew out of Baekhyun mouth with widened eyes and pounding head. He coughed vigorously trying to catch his breath while the deep robotic female voice kept talking in the background, compeltely oblivious to the damage she'd just cause.
Something started ringing and Baekhyun turned off his mini Alexa's volume to answer his phone. Its when the voice spoke into his ear that he truly understood what was happening and his face turned into a blank stare, dark eyes staring at themselves in the reflection of a stained mirror.
"You heard what just came out?" Baekhyun nodded and clicked his tongue a few times. "The guy's are blowing up the groupchat but you didnt look at i—"
"We're in deep shit Myeon," Baekhyun whispered sotfly, eyes glaring at the device in front of him, moreover, the girl behind everything. "Really deep shit."

Post TROS Meltdown
Disclaimer: these are my personal feelings for the series and may not reflect your opinions. I just need a space to say them. Thank you.
I went into TROS completely blind and with no doubt that Ben would live (due to reading hundreds of fan analyses and predictions based off TLJ and TFA) and I have to say I'm emotionally unsalvagable. Anticipation for this movie got me through the roughest year of my entire life and this heartbreak and loss is what I'm supposed to end off on?
Like the entire movie came out of the left field and body slammed me into the ground.
They did so many fake deaths that I stayed waiting long into the credits for Ben to come back.
I kept hoping for an final scene...
COME ON EVERYONE and I MEAN EVERY mainish or even side character GETS a HAPPY ENDING EXCEPT THE TWO PEOPLE THAT NEEDED IT THE MOST. THE PROTAGONISTS.
What is supposed to be the moral of the story here.
Star wars is a space fairytail about HOPE and LOVE. IT was supposed to be reverse anidala!!! THE BIG THING ABOUT THAT SHIP WAS THAT IT WAS A TRAGEDY.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACTFUL REVERSE IS TO GIVE LOVE AN HAPPY ENDING.
DO YOU SEE THE HOPE IN MY LITTLE EYES. DO YOU?!? *incoherent sobbing*
(Please don't read if you are just going to counter it in the comments. This is solely a personal opinion meltdown and not an attack on anyone or anything. I'm not a words smith and this might come out like senseless rambling but this is a meltdown post hahaha *cries* )
The cinematics and the fighting choreography were incredible. But I went to see the HEART of SW. I went solely to see that happy reylo ending.
Don't even get me started on what they did with Rey (the whole point of her arc was that a nobody can still be stand tall, love, and be a hero)
And Kylo/Ben (can redemption is rewarded with non-death for once?!?) It wasn't even a necessary death! He didn't have to die saving Rey!! They didn't even get like 5 minutes together without fighting?!? Like TLJ set it up perfectly! (Ben defeats Palp with Rey's help and Rey is by his side as he turns back to the light)(How come she called him Ren the entire time until the last scene?! Wasn't she the one who believed most in him?!?). His death had little impact on the audience!! Because there was no previous set up of romance!! There wasn't even happy moments like anidala or hanleia had... There was just...an end in death.
And it wasn't even mourned properly. We only see Rey grieve for all of 2 seconds?
The kiss scene was amazing! The way Ben crawled back to his love was so emotionally powerful! HIS EYES WERE IN SUCH PAIN. Rey grinned! He GRINNED BACK! THEY KISS! HE DIES!! How come no one cared about him afterwards?!? Why is Rey just being like "eh alright thats cool dude".( in the theatre I was so ticked off when someone laughed when he was legit trying to crawl back with broken ribs and a leg) I think it came out so left field for the people who weren't reylo! There was like barely hints that they loved loved each other. (Literally Poe and that girl had more romantic time together!)
Or there were hints on Kylo's side but NOT ENOUGH ON REYs. She juat attacked him and attacked him for the whole movie. (Yes I get that she was "struggling with the dark side" or whatever but Kylo was struggling too and he physically never hurt Rey (beyond unintentionally emotionally)) it made me question if Rey even loved him anymore and that was a huge blow. I couldn't sense this girl at all. Like I thought her tears were for Leia and Not BEN who she Literally Just stabbed. That was how shocked cold I was.
(WHY WAsnt he allowed to "love" rey from the begining of TROS instead of just going back to TFA Style KYlo) (It felt so forced and awkward from how he was in TLJ, I kept feeling like Adam tried to salvage it but he had so few lines it was sooo hard (he did a great job with showing his love and redemption of Ben even with the lack of lines though))
NOW HERE IS WHERE IM TRUELY MAD.
What message am I supposed to take away from their love story?
That broken characters do not deserve love? That trying to change results ultimately in death? That you can only been redeemed in death? That your family is willing to help a random member from their enemies bloodline but not their own kid who still loves them very much he literally dropped his saber when his mom died and gets stabbed and he still turns back because of his dad's last words even though he's been mistreated and neglected by his family and manipulated and abused by palp! What was the point of Leia putting down her lightsaber if not to save her son's life?!? Not end it by letting Rey pick it up?!?
Its 2019! Stop making redeemed villains die because you are too cowardly to give them the hard recovery journey afterwards!
As an abuse victim I related personally to his character and I felt cheated because of how cheap his death was treated. The message I had hoped to take away from this work was that it's not too late to save yourself! You get to decide who you want to be, not destiny, not family, not a skywalker curse! You can change your life! Recover from your abuse and heal your damaged heart. Find your found family in someone who believes in you and loves you even when you are flawed. Your bloodline is irrelevant to how you are. You don't have to pay the price for your family's crimes because you are not an extension of your family's will. You are your own person. Keep your love even in dark times because your heart will save you. (Wasnt that the whole point?! Ben solo had a heart! HE HAD A BIG HEART. That was the cause of the whole internal conflict!?? What does it mean that his love for rey killed him(I dont care that its symbolic or whatever, he still died. Thats not a good ending because he literally wasn't shown with his family or even with Rey, he just disappeared ?!?)
Like okay maybe there is a "tenth movie" or book to revive him. Like the openness of the movie leaves that space. But it was a hurtful move because no one would expect that since the trilogy has ended. Everyone fully expected a happy ending to wrap up NINE MOVIES OF TRAGIC LOVE. I mean I'm all for redeemed Ben solo and I'm so glad they at least gave him that and Rey's kiss. I'm only going to rewatch those parts from now on. For me the movie ended when he smiled.

I am maybe an ignorant person but ... I don't understand the Jonsa thing so ... I fou have time can you explain this to me .. ? And even if i'm a Jonerys shipper for years i would really like to know the Jonsa chemistery :)
Oh wow… 
The thing is I think shipping is kind of subjective to a degree. It doesn’t matter if it’s canon or not because there’ll always be a group who think it shouldn’t be canon and so on and so forth. I don’t know how to explain Jonsa to someone who doesn’t see it (not that I’m blaming you for not seeing it! Some people just don’t and that’s totally okay!) but I will try my best, Anonny. 
For me personally, it began in Season 6. I had no prior inclination for Jonsa or even an inkling of the possibility of them. Frankly, I was the most casual of Game of Thrones viewers. It took me nearly a year to actually finish watching Season 5 (but that’s mostly because my ex told me about the Sansa x Ramsay storyline and I hated it so much I refused to watch it). For me, GoT was and has always been a political fantasy drama with lots of boobs and blood. Shipping wasn’t on the cards for me at all (aside from my love for Gendrya). But then Season 6 happened and we finally, finally got a Stark reunion. Only this Stark reunion felt weird. 
First of all, Jon and Sansa had so very little interactions (ie. none) prior to this. They were the two most seemingly random Starks to meet. And yet when they hugged, Sansa nuzzled his face. At first, I thought ‘okay, well they lost everyone and this is the first person from their old life they’ve seen’ and even in retrospect I don’t see it as particularly a romantic action on their parts. But it is a weird thing to have the actors do. Even if they were always meant to be platonic, nuzzling is weird for anyone not involved romantically or sexually. I would never ever nuzzle any of my family members or my friends, but then I’m not the best comparison. I don’t like physical affection from anyone I’m not dating so lmao. Still, I was willing to overlook that because it’s Game of Thrones. Maybe they’re just trying to amp up the intensity of the scene. But then you get continued lingering looks from Jon, strange awestruck half-smiles and dim romantic atmosphere. The most bizarre shot for me though was the tent scene. Jon and Sansa had to stop in the middle of their arguing to stare at each other, chests heaving with candlelight in the background. This is Romantic Trope 101. If you had siblings arguing with each other, there’d be more angry yelling, insulting and storming off. You don’t pause to stare at each other as you struggle to catch your breath. 
This all contributed to my questioning over what I was seeing. I didn’t immediately think ‘oh yeah this is my ship’. I just thought ‘okay this is weird, right?’ and continued to think that for the rest of Season 6. Honestly, the idea of them as a ship didn’t really cement itself in my head until the very last episode where Jon kissed her forehead, lingered just a bit too long, stared at her lips, walked away and the immediate next shot is the reveal of R+L=J. It was like light bulbs flashing in my head, like ‘oh shit they’re cousins and cousins totally get together and is accepted as a viable marriage prospect!!’ I mean I suspected Jon wasn’t really Ned’s son, but the confirmation right after a Jonsa scene felt so so important. Not even through shipper goggles. It was what made me realise the strange tension between them wasn’t solely in my head and that this probably had a purpose for setting something up.
That’s the Jonsa thing for me. That’s literally how I began to ship them. I don’t know if this answers your question about their chemistry, but these were the moments that highlighted their chemistry to me personally. 
The reason why I’ve stayed with this ship for as long as I have, I can list you the reasons below: 
To paraphrase from a Tom Cruise film, they complete each other. I know, I know. How utterly cliched of me, but for lack of a better phrase, it’s true. I don’t even mean it in a their souls match and blahblahblah, but I mean that in personalities. Jon is the emotionally-driven, honourable, brave and intelligent military tactician, whose life has been consumed by war and physically fighting for survival. Sansa is the emotionally-guarded, brave, shrewd and pragmatic politician. Her life in contrast has been consumed by the political game and she’s had to mentally fight for survival. Jon knows the North and the dangers beyond; Sansa knows the South and the dangers there. They’re two sides of the same coin and they need each other to survive. Yes, I’d love it if it was romantically, but even taking that away, they still need each other. Together, they make a formidable team. They are Tyrion and Dani but better because there is no power imbalance. They’re equals. Yes, Jon doesn’t quite listen to Sansa sometimes, but him leaving her the North is a testament to his trust and respect for her. This is one of the reasons why I love and adore their interactions so much. You can still see how different they are as individuals but just as clearly, you can see how well they mesh together, and you sit there rooting for them both. 
They offer each other something no one else does. S7 Sansa is the most open and honest and confident I’ve ever seen her and that’s all because she trusts Jon. He might disagree, he might argue, but she feels so safe in his presence that she feels comfortable enough to finally speak her mind and demonstrate how intelligent she really is. And for the first time, she can let herself love and hope again. You see that in the soft and affectionate way she regards Jon in any matter, and that is true even in the scowls and exasperation because those emotions are still born out of her love and thus her concern for him. She wants only the best for him and for their home. Ultimately what it comes down to is Jon makes her happy, safe, hopeful and strong. His faith in her is slowly restoring her own faith in herself. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for Sansa. Even if Jonsa isn’t canon, if Sansa continues to get this, I’ll be okay. But I do feel Jonsa as a romantic pairing would be the perfect way to conclude Sansa’s story. She’s been basically sold into two loveless marriages and believes no one will ever marry her for love even though all she ever wanted was a fairy-tail romance. If her story concludes with the valiant knight (Jon) and her falling in love and marrying, it would be the perfect end, and one that isn’t too fairy-tale considering their angst and conflict over being half-siblings-turned-cousins. 
As for Jon, I personally believe Sansa’s return gave his second life meaning again. He had been so ready and determined to escape to the south and give up entirely. We don’t know whether he would’ve gone through with it and maybe he wouldn’t, but this was the lowest Jon’s ever been. He was so lost, so disillusioned, and insecure and broken, but then came Sansa and suddenly he had purpose again. Maybe it was simply family obligations, but you can’t say she didn’t inspire him to fight for his home. I don’t think Jon would’ve done it without Sansa. She also challenges him in a way no one else has since Ygritte and Jon needs that. He’s not the perfect hero; he doesn’t know everything. He’s been in the North too long to understand the political game the way Sansa does. She offers him insight into a world he had no prior knowledge in. She also offers him camaraderie, a partner with equal stakes in this war, and a friend who he can come to, someone who loves and respects him and believes in him so wholeheartedly. Yes, he has loyal knights and friends, but no one quite understands his insecurity as a Stark and a rule the way Sansa does. Their interaction in 7x01 showed us this relationship/friendship between them (the way Sansa immediately knew Jon was doubting himself and sought to reassure him earnestly even when he was being rather rude to her because the thing is she knew he needed it more than she needed his validation).
Another reason why I love this ship so much is Jon’s ferocity when it comes to Sansa. You could absolutely read this as platonic and I’m sure many do, but you can’t deny there’s definitely something visceral and primal in the way Jon strives to protect her. I’ve seen Jon kill and get aggressive, but I’ve never seen him lose control so violently than when he was beating the crap out of Ramsay. It was probably a combination of seeing Ramsay kill Rickon in front of him, but definitely also for Sansa. Then you have 7x02 where Jon chokes Littlefinger, who had been needling him and provoking him all throughout that scene, but it was the comment about loving Sansa in a sexual/romantic manner that really got him angry. The fact is there was no immediate thought to that action; it was absolutely a reactionary thing and again a primal one at that. Jon doesn’t even say anything for awhile and I think for a few seconds he really was considering killing Littlefinger. But then it’s like he comes to himself. Angry murderous kitten Jon is my favourite kind of Jon lol.
There are also a lot of Ned x Catelyn parallels that makes it hard to ignore, as well as 7x02′s parallel to Jaime x Brienne’s awkward wave goodbye. These are 2 of the most established ships in the fandom. Paralleling Jonsa with them feels intentional and important. 
But honestly, there really are so many reasons why I love this ship and why I believe in them so wholeheartedly. Maybe it is just Kit and Sophie having unbelievable chemistry, but I like to believe otherwise. I hope this sheds some light for you, Anonny.
