Content: Yandere, sex worker
Tumblr media
Hux hadn’t heard the front door open, he was too engrossed in his screen, his lips growing dry with anxiety and his stomach twisting. He didn’t even hear Ben come up the stairs, and open the door to their study until he spoke.
“What are you doing still up?” Ben asked. Hux became fluster and slammed his laptop lid down, his had grown a light pink. He turned to Ben who had a slight smirk on his face, clearly under the impression he’d caught him about to start wanking or something. Hux sighed and let out a forced laugh.
“Nothing,” he said a little too quickly, spinning his chair to face Ben who had his thick black eyebrows raised. “Just. Work. Designing. You know. For the play. The old factory and such… it’s a bit complicated.”
“Oh? Let me see!” Ben said excitedly he stopped forward and Hux began to panic as he protectively put one hand over his laptop.
“Not yet. It’s … my process. You know I don’t like to show you anything unfinished.” Ben stopped and looked at Hux for a minute, for a moment Hux thought he didn’t believe him. “It’s not very interesting right now anyway, I’m just doing diagrams and seeing if I can make the 3D program come up with some concepts that’s all.” Finally, Ben just shrugged, Hux stopped himself from sighing in relief and instead avoided Ben’s gaze.
“Well, whatever, I’m gonna get something to eat,” he said leaving. “Rehearsal went well today by the way thanks for asking,” he called over his shoulder passive aggressively.
“I- Great, sorry, I didn’t-” Before Hux could come up with an explanation Ben was going downstairs. He sighed and turned back to the laptop. He could make it up to him later, he thought.
Hux opened the laptop lid, swallowing nervously as he typed in his password and it sprung back to life. It immediately showed the browser open again, the image that was seared into his eyelids was right there. It was a picture of Ben, naked, sat on his heels, legs spread revealing a black triangle of pubic hair, and his long thin scars under his pectoral muscles on display. He wore a thick black collar and his wrists were cuffed together and held above his head by a pale hand. On his belly in red lipstick was ‘free to use’. He scrolled down to the description: ‘cuntboy slut just wants a belly full of cum and a mouth full of piss’. His soft thick lips were pouting, looking submissive and a little bratty. Hux felt his breathing alternate between stopping and growing quickly as his jealousy rose. He quickly scrolled through the comments, his hands shaking in anger as he saw so many people lusting over Ben, saying all the depraved things they’d do to him.
Hux went back to his email and opened the message from Victor that screamed at them from the screen: “isn’t this Ben? Lmao”. Hux wrote a simple “fuck you” in response and sent it. He felt his chest heave and his cheeks burn, he knew what Ben would say. That it was up to him, it didn’t mean he was sleeping around but… it still filled Hux with enough anger to make him want to lock Ben in their bedroom and find every single one of the commenters. Find them and rip their bodies to pieces, he thought, fantasising about dismembering them. He picture cutting off their pathetic, little cocks and shoving the blade of his knife inside their putrid cunts.

Should or Shouldn't - 2
here's the second part :3 there's a bit of a cliff hanger... But I'm working on a third part!
Tumblr media
CW: yandere hux idk, mentions of drugging (sleeping pills), hux + reader struggling with emotions, hurt/comfort???, hux is a bit of a jerk but he's also a sweetie, not proof read
~♡
It was more exhausting being with Hux than being in a trial.
That's how it felt most days.
There was nothing to do! Either he was away, or he was… just watching you.
Sometimes he got bold. He'd touch you, cut you up.
It was never anything bad.
Nothing like the trials.
Cuts like the light mark of a razor blade. Just enough to see red.
Sometimes you didn't even notice. And then, when you felt the wetness- Saw the blood, you'd freak out.
You'd cry and sob, and beg him for something to help.
These times, you never blamed him.
He never had to deal with your hurling insults. Screaming at him. Fighting him. Saying you hated him.
. . . Why did it make his mind struggle when you did that?
. . . Why did he care if you hated him?
. . . Was he . . .
Developing feelings?
No. Of course not. It wasn't possible. He was a machine. Sure, he was made to help humans, but they'd never coded anything like affection into his system.
This was just a side effect. Something left over. Part of his medical knowledge. Part of his programmed desire to aid humans.
. . . So why couldn't he purge it?
+
Everything felt so heavy as you woke up. You were moving- Well, being moved. Your full body weight pushing you down.
You let out a small sound as you stirred, feeling sick as you saw the ground quickly sliding away from you.
The familiar grasp of claws held your shirt.
You don't bother speaking. You've moved enough, made enough sound- He knows you're awake.
“Sleep, worm.” Hux's voice urges you.
“I- Mhn… I can- can't-” You whine, feeling nauseous with the movements.
“You will.” He speaks again. “Transport is in progress. I do not want your idle squirms.”
Shuddering, you bow your head as you try not to vomit.
“S-Slow down, I'm gonna- Mmnh…” Hearing your worsening cries, he suddenly comes to a stop and you crash to the ground. “Ow- Fuck!” You whimper. But you don't move.
You just lay there, whining as you try to take deep breaths to calm down.
“Little worm should not have woken up…” He seems upset. “Recalibrating.”
“ . . . Huxy, I don't feel good.”
That stupid nickname. If his tech wasn't so advanced, you'd hear that cheesy dial-up tone that older computers made when processing something.
“An accurate response. My dosage was correct. But you refused to drink more.”
Dosage…? What did he-
“D-Did you drug me?!” You cry out, doing your best to look up before gagging and looking back down.
“Affirmative. The worm was complaining of difficulty sleeping. Analysis shows one's conditions as the most likely issue.”
Yeah. Being kidnapped by a killing machine, bound by your legs, and made to sleep on the freezing cold floor could lead to insomnia.
You're tense- Partly from how sick you feel, and partly from general fear.
“Where… Where are you taking me?”
A moment of silence.
“A new location has been found suitable.” He speaks plainly. “Will the worm behave? Or be bound once more?”
You swallow.
“I… I can be good.” You mumble.
“Unexpected. Further testing required to validate your hypothesis.”
Trembling, you bow down a bit more.
“Is there… Any other way you can carry me?” You ask meekly.
“ . . . Requesting approval.”
You pause. He was… Asking for your permission?
“ . . . Will it hurt?”
“Negative.”
“Uh… Approved?”
In a swift motion, you're plucked from the ground and held… Surprisingly sweetly.
Your legs are raised over his forearm, keeping the blade of his hand pointed away from you. His clawed hand is under your back, encouraging you to sit up slightly.
It's… A princess carry.
“Mmh…” You'd felt so sick. And now…
Your head meets his chest.
“ . . . Good organic.”
If he could smile he would.
+
This ‘new location’ was… Nice.
Like the rest of it, everything reeked of death with a partial stench of chemicals.
But… Other than that?
There was a bed. Sort of.
A deconstructed sleeping pod, piled up with random scraps of blankets and fabrics.
A window-
Which was actually just a massive hole in the wall, but Hux had patched it up by melting the dome of the previously mentioned pod to it.
And… A table.
Which was just a chair from the dining hall with the back removed.
It really wasn't much. It was still a mess- And you could swear there were blood stains on some of the cloth in the bed.
But… it was definitely better than the floor.
Right now, you're nestled sweetly into the pod, buried in the fabric. Hux had been bringing you more- It seemed any time he found something that wasn't full of holes or tears, he'd deliver them to you.
You could try and ask him to stop, but he wouldn't.
“Your body temperature is not regulated. These will adjust your heat levels when recharging.”
The longer you spent with him… The nicer it actually felt.
It was tiring, yes. Boring, of course. All you could really do is sit there and sleep.
But God did you miss being able to rest. Having a bed. Being warm without a fire. Feeling… Safe.
When things first started, you were terrified of him. With good reason, of course.
You'd seen what he could do. Felt his blade. Been reduced to agonizing pain as he injected you with… Some kind of chemical.
But now… He was good to you. As good as an artificial intelligence hellbent on killing humans could be.
And things were especially different-
When you woke up to him cuddling you.

OOOOOHHHHH HIIIII OKOKOK ever since Singularity was released I've been so in love oh my god monster fuckers unite
Could we maybe have something with yandere Hux? There's a new survivor (gn reader) and something just snaps in Hux and it just has the need to like own the reader. Whatever it has to do to get the reader, it will do it.
Let's say that the Entity wouldn't allow that. So during matches, Hux gets the other 3 survivors out of the way so it can get some time with the reader. And may Entity have mercy on any unfortunate soul who tries to get between Hux and the reader.
Ofc totally fine if you don't want to write this!! Thank you for your time ilysm!!
✩ pairing: the singularity x gn!survivor!reader.
✩ warnings: yan stuff, slight descriptions of gore & violence (the singularity’s mori), nsfw; mdni. specific tw’s under the cut.
✩ note: MONSTER FUCKERS UNITE thank you sm for this request it’s like exactly what i was hoping for when i made the post saying i write for hux now!! also it got a little nsfw at the end i hope it’s okay w you👉👈 i had sm fun writing this, sorry it got a little long.
✩ tw: smutty implications but no detail (do lmk if you want a part two w those details though🫣).
Tumblr media
this amalgamation of flesh and metal had a very limited spectrum of emotions, and in terms of the humans it was only more limited; only experiencing disdain and the acute awareness of superiority in the presence of them
seeing you was like finding yet another alien crystal that granted hux a new set of emotions and awareness, something that the half-human-half-machine was not meant to feel
it wasn’t love, a creature like hux could never comprehend such a primitive and all-too-human emotion like that
it was something similar, though; need, an intense need
but that word didn’t quite encompass the feeling either
it confused hux, maybe even scared it
maybe the human components of hux’s body were taking their toll, giving hux the primitive human qualities that it hated
this was something that hux needed to overcome and get to the end of, and the only way to do that was to follow through, let this feeling lead hux so that it could end it
but in a trial with three varmints getting in its way, bringing all four survivors—and most importantly, you—closer and closer to escaping hux’s clutches, it wouldn’t be so easy
in its computer brain, it deduced that the quickest and most efficient way was to get rid of the other three, get you alone
one by one you’d hear the screams of your fellow survivors in the distance, paired with the unforgiving and impersonal voice of hux
“it will be fast, possibly painless”
none of them standing a chance against hux and it’s determination to get them out of its way
and by the end, it’s all too quiet out, and you’d have to be beyond lucky to get the remaining generators working in time to escape unharmed
making your way around the map, desperate to find the hatch—your last hope—you come across the sprawled and unmoving bodies of one, two and three of the other survivors
their faces utterly decimated, hardly human anymore, now just the viscera that made them up before
you were alone, and seeing your dead friends with melted faces brought you to one conclusion; that you were staring death in the face, and the same thing that happened to them would inevitably happen to you
the mechanical sound of hux stepping toward you solidified it
now that you were standing right in front of hux, completely at its mercy, it realized it still didn’t exactly know what it singled you out for, what it’d do when it got to this point
the machine’s hesitation, although short, gave you time to admire its mangled form, beautiful in a way
overcome with that feeling of obsession, hux just kept following the same instinct that brought the two of you here
maybe it was another fault of hux’s human components, a driving force that couldn’t be comprehended by such a superior computer brain
it was biological, a desire coming from the weak, needy flesh that hux had sculpted itself with
in such a primal, depraved state, the machine realized what it had done all of this for; what it needed
hux needed to own and claim you
in hux’s unrelenting grasp, you try to wiggle to free yourself
“squirm, little worm”

3. You really thought this was all just a game? Darling, my love for you goes far deeper than you could even imagine.
How about General Hux Star Wars
I see him being cold and stoic to the reader, when she looks for a transfer, Hux let's her know that she's not going anywhere.
Please and thank you, because those anons clearly have no manners.
<3<3 of course my friend! I hope you like it, I've never written for Hux before lol. (and it's been awhile since I've seen the movies lol)
Warnings: obsession and...threats. Sort of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She waits until she’s called. 
His office is as cold and sterile as his personality, but she won’t say that aloud. Not here at least. She’s not alone in her distaste for the man, especially with how he treats those ranked lower than him. Still, she never really had to interact with him, until she was put under his orders in the last solar cycle. 
She stands in front of his desk, arms clasped behind her and waits. Thankfully, she’s used to waiting under his command. He seems to take great pleasure in making others suffer, or at least proving his station over them. 
“I received word of your transfer request.” 
“Yes, sir,” she nods. She needed space, as ironic as that sounded, from the way he always seemed to hover. 
He stares at her, gaze seeming to search for an answer she doesn’t have to give. “Why?”
“Why what sir?”
His jaw clenches, unamused at her obstinacy. “Why are you requesting a transfer?” 
She stands slightly straighter. “I wish to be stationed closer to home.” It’s the easiest answer and it keeps her from admitting the truth. She wants to be away from him. 
He stands. He takes his time as he walks toward her but she can see the way his hands clench. “Your request is denied.” 
She tries not to react. “May I ask why? Sir?” She throws on the respectful term even if she doesn’t mean it. 
“You really dare to ask? You’re trying to leave me!” he snarls. 
She frowns and her patience snaps. “Leave you? Sir, I am trying to go home. I am not interested in playing these games.” 
He stops in front of her, hand snapping out and holding her at the back of her neck. He pulls her closer, fast enough that she stumbles out of her position. “You really thought this was all just a game? Darling, my love for you goes far deeper than you could even imagine.”
Her eyes meet his, breath catching in her throat. Love? “What?”
“Your request is denied,” he says again. “You will be transferred though. Into my quarters.”

Hello! 25 nb seeking rp partner. Partner and characters must be 21+. I have two fandom wants that can be easily replaced with an oc/made fandomless. The canon characters are who my partner would play while I would play an oc. I do not double, but am willing to go against OCS.
Hawks (MHA)- my character is another pro hero and they start dating. As the relationship progresses, his workaholic nature takes over and he begins neglecting his relationship. This leads to angst as he does have feelings for my character, but is so used to suppressing these feelings.
Hux(star wars)- he finds, to his horror, he begins falling for my character, a lead engineer who tends to throw things around the workshop when angry. Because shes so brilliant no one really does anything. He decides he needs to tame her and it leads to spicy shenanigans.
General yandere bullshit: hux, Kylo Ren, hawks, dabi, aizawa, overhaul, mr compress, shigaraki, kirishima (pro hero or villain)
Interact or message me. I prefer rping on discord.

Kylo Ren confessing his feelings for you but you’re with Hux. Imagine.
You were a lieutenant general in the first order. The pay was good and the job had good side benefits, such as your own personal quarters that just happened to be allocated next to your boss and partner, General Hux. You had to admit, being situated right next to his rooms meant you could just pop in and leave your finished files right there which saved you a lot of time. Today was no different. You knocked twice and went into his room, only to freeze when seeing the general and Supreme leader standing in front of you. Clearing your throat, you straightened up. “My apologies, I merely meant to drop off a report of yesterday’s battle.”  you bowed stiffly, their eyes trained on you. The supreme leader’s helmet was off and his hair reached his shoulders. His eyes were black and a scar from a previous fight stood, prominent on his face. “It’s quite alright.” Hux stepped towards you, taking the file from you, his fingers brushing lightly against yours. “Would you care to stay for a cup of tea Y/N?” Hux turned towards you, his eyes narrowing as you nodded slowly. “It would be a pleasure Sir.” you stuttered, your gaze portraying your nerves as you sat in a chair. The supreme leader settled in the chair next to you and you could feel his gaze on you. “I will be right back, I need to get a boiler from the kitchen.” Hux hurried off quickly. You kept your eyes trained on the table in front of you when Kylo spoke. “You love him, more than you’ll admit.” It wasn’t a question, it was a statement and you bristled, glaring at him. “Quit looking into my mind Ren!” He didn’t reply but instead, his hand landed on your knee. “You know, I would treat you better than that ginger-haired fool could ever.” he whispered. “Shut up. Hux is a better man than you’ll ever be!” you snarled, stiffening as he leaned closer. “You know I can take whatever I want…” A small chuckle escaped his lips. You shivered, trembling as his free hand turned your face towards his. “Am I interrupting something?” Kylo blinked slowly but his gaze never left yours. “Not at all General. We were just having a little… chat.” He murmured, his eyes never leaving your trembling form. Hux’s eyes shifted from Ren to you and his gaze hardened. “Get out of my quarters. You’re making Y/N uncomfortable.” Kylo’s gaze shot to Hux and he snarled. “General, this is my ship and I can go where I like-” Hux scoffed, glaring at Ren. “These are my quarters and I will not have my partner feeling unsafe!” he snapped. Kylo stood, his eyes blazing with anger “Very well general.” he spat the word as if it was a curse. Turning to you, he leaned down and whispered into your ear words that would haunt you even decades from now. “Never forget, you’re mine, and I don’t share so sooner or later he’ll be out of the picture.” He smirked before leaving the room, his cape swishing behind him.
End of imagine.

Yandere Kylo Ren pt. 2 (1/4)
Tumblr media
Word count ; 4.2k
*Dedicated to @leandragemstone.
*Edited
Snoke’s laughter echoed in the large red room as Kylo Ren entered. The lights were dim, solely fixated on the wrinkled, mutant man on the throne. Red knights armed with Sith lightsabers stood as guards. Metal chandeliers dangled from the ceiling and the black floor shimmered and reflected. The blinding white elevator behind him closed, encapsulating him with Snoke.
“Tied on a string indeed, General Hux. Well done. The Resistance will soon be in our grasp.”
“Thank you, Supreme Leader,” Hux replied, his voice echoing off the walls. He turned tail and passed Kylo as he walked, heading toward the elevator.
Once Kylo was but a few yards away and Hux was out of earshot, Snoke turned his attention to the man and snidely remarked,” You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power?” Kylo kneeled and bowed his head obediently. “A cur’s weakness, when properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool… How’s your wound?”
“It’s nothing,” Kylo quickly answered, the filter distorting his voice. His helmet was in the process of being repaired due to the damage received a few weeks back.
Snoke hummed in reply, his chin locking into place with a satisfying snap. "The mighty Kylo Ren,” he taunted, rising from his metallic throne. “When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see. Raw, untamed power. And beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader.”
“Was it with her?”
He fell silent for but a moment. “Now, I fear, I was mistaken. For you are focused more on the wooing of an alien.”
Kylo Ren looked up. “I’ve given everything I have to you,” he insisted, balling his fists up. “To the dark side.”
“Take that ridiculous thing off,” Snoke hissed, his temper bound to overflow.
Kylo was obedient as he pulled off the helmet, the helmet hissing in its wake. It revealed a long, thin scar that started at his jaw and crossed over his right eye. There was also a defined patch of black tar on his cheek. Even now, it was prominent. His gaze was adamantly cast toward the ground, his shame concerning the event immense.
“Yes, there it is. You have too much of your father’s heart in you, young Solo —“
“I killed Han Solo,” Kylo seethed. “When the moment came, I didn’t hesitate.”
“And look at you. The deed split your spirit to the bone,” he roared, his flesh stretching as he spoke. “You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who knows nothing of this galaxy and a girl who had never held a lightsaber before! You failed!”
Kylo, losing his temper, rose to his feet. He aimed to use the force, however, Snoke beat him to it. He struck Kylo with lightning and sent him flying across the room. The knights in red were on guard for further disobedience, however, Snoke waved them off. 
“Skywalker lives. The seed of the Jedi Order lives. And as long as it does, hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out. Alas, you're no Vadar. You’re just a child in a mask,” he sneered, having returned to his throne.
Snoke’s glare followed Kylo Ren as he snatched up his mask and stormed out. His emotions were in a tremulous tsunami as he stood in the elevator, his gaze fixated on nothing. He shut his eyes tightly, thinking of her. Thinking of the women who so very much defied him at any opportunity, and yet, he had stolen his heart and soul. She had wrapped him around his finger further with every passing night.
And then, he saw it. A vision. His brain swirled with colors, and he thought it was but a dream; he realized it was not as he beheld the Millennium Falcon landing on an unknown island. The island was surrounded by a murky blue as far as the eye can see and it landed on a large, grassy field.
He concentrated further, his head humming. His hand extended naturally as he used the Force to zoom in on the Millennium Falcon.
The staircase lowered to the grass. First, a giant Wookiee, groaning in excitement. The steps trembled under his weight. Then, that damned BB-8 droid that had surely led them straight to Skywalker. He waited there, but he could see nothing. So, he focused even more energy on entering the vessel. He immediately saw the girl that had the Force within her. She was leaning over a metal bed, which had someone in it.
Finally, the girl stepped out of the way as the person kicked their legs off the side. It was her. And she looked so very cute, with her messy hair and loud yawns. For a moment, he was entranced as she awoke herself. But then, she opened her eyes, appearing startled for a second. This was enough to shake him out of his stupor.
He opened his eyes, suddenly being wrought with jealousy. His soulmate was involved with an undeserving woman. She was his from the moment she first fell in front of him. He slammed his helmet-covered into the wall’s light fixtures, letting out grunts of fury. He slammed his fist into it over and over and over again, until the wall had a permanent dent.
When the door opened, he aggressively spoke to the generals outside,” Prepare my ship.”
Now that he knew his lover was nowhere near the Resistance’s ships, he knew he could arrange the attack with mercy. Kylo wanted nothing more than to make sure she had nothing to return to but him.
~~~
I could have sworn I saw him for a second, standing right in front of me. But as soon as he was there, he had vanished. It must have been my tied brain playing tricks on me.
“You go ahead and get something to eat,” Rey instructed. “Chewy’s waiting for you outside. I’ll make sure and come back for you, alright?”
I sent her a smile of confirmation. “Sure thing, babe.” Finally on my feet, I pulled my girlfriend into me and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. She kissed back, but only for a moment. I let out an exhausted groan of disappointment.
Rey chuckled and pet the side of my head. “I’ll be back. I have… something to return to Luke Skywalker.” In her grasp, she held his Jedi lightsaber.”
With that, she was off exiting the ship. Chewbacca came back in and groaned out of eagerness and slight annoyance. I sighed, pulling on my shoes. “I know, Chewy, but she should do it alone. We’ll meet him soon,” I replied.
After splashing some water on my face and brushing my teeth in the brig, I emerged. Chewy had pulled out some space bread - it went by some other name, but I didn’t care enough to remember - and handed it to me. 
“Thanks, buddy.” 
Over the course of the weeks we had spent traveling at light-speed, I had learned a lot more about this universe. Rey had taught me. Aside from various mainstream planet cultures, she taught me useful things like self-defense and how to take care of space craft. I’d even learned, at some point, that Chewbacca was a Wookiee - but, to me, he’d always be a giant space bear, and a giant space bear he’d remain. I didn’t want to completely let go of my former self.
Also, don’t ask how, but I had learned to understand the big fella. Even Rey found it impossible to communicate with him. And yet, when he groaned, it was like my mind translated it into whispers. So, it was safe to say, I was best friends with a giant space bear.
Chewy hoisted me onto his back and took me with him as we left the ship. I ate, occasionally spilling crumbs in his fur, but I always swept them off. One arm was loosely hanging around his neck and the other held my menial but tasty meal.
I don’t know how, but space bread was better than Earth bread by a lot.
Chewbacca began walking around and surveying the area, but not too far from the ship. We were by a cliff and the view was to die for. We stayed close to the ship, though, so as to not abandon Rey’s plans.
“So, Chewy,” I curiously initiated,” How long’s your lifespan?”
He released an animalistic groan as per usual, but my brain connected the dots.
“Damn, that long? So, you’re telling me you’ll still be starting life by the time I’m old and gray?” I exclaimed.
He was about to continue, but Rey suddenly jogged up to us. Her staff was in her hands and she looked rather irritated and desperate. “Chewy, I need your help. Skywalker’s locked himself away in his home and refuses to talk to me.”
I noticed that in her pocket, tucked away neatly, was the damned lightsaber. Chewy replied and began stomping behind her. 
We advanced over a grassy hill and entered a small village of aliens. Rey stopped in front of one of the stone houses and knocked politely on the door via her staff.
“Go away,” a muffled voice answered.
Rey sighed, stepping out of the way. Chewy groaned and, with me still on his back, effortlessly kicked down the door. I cheered excitedly, accidentally hitting my hand on the door. My excitement immediately died down.
The inside of the house homed but an old man in a cloak. If Rey hadn’t previously informed me of the legends, I would have thought of him as nothing but an old man. Rey followed us in. Chewy groaned at the man.
“Chewy, what are you doing here?”
“He said you’re coming back with us!” I translated.
“How did you find me?”
“Long story, we’ll tell you on the Falcon,” Rey answered.
Luke Skywalker seemed to be struck with a realization. “Falcon…?”
Chewy groaned softly, and having finished my food, I ran my fingers through his mane comfortingly.
“Wait. Where’s Han?”
Chewy shook his head and buried it in one of his hands now that I was comfortably situated on his back. I sighed, realizing I had to translate and deliver the bad news. “Well, Mr. Skywalker… He was killed by Kylo Ren. His son. A bastard, he was —“
Rey shut me up by hitting my leg. “But what’s important is that you come with us. The Resistance needs you.”
Luke Skywalker took but a moment to digest his death. He did nothing but sigh. He packed his things and shoved past us. I hopped off Chewy’s back and began flowing Rey, who was following Luke.
Safe to say, although it was an adventure, it was an unnecessary one. First, he harvested milk from a… space lizard cow. After, he did some parkour and went fishing. Then he went home, as a sudden storm began raging. Rey and I shared the cloak, since I was seemingly unprepared. He locked us out once more, but when he exited, the weather was grand. Luke Skywalker continued his day and climbed up a mountain. However, as we walked, I suddenly heard a voice whispering my name. Hearing the same whispers, Rey and I peered over our shoulders.
We exchanged glances of agreement as we stared down at the mist below. Something was beckoning us. With our fingers tightly intertwined, we descended in the direction of the mist.
We found ourselves in a desolate, dead environment. We could not see the sun nor hear the ocean. A permanent fog remained as we walked over rocks. There were three stone pillars ahead, although they took no such meaningful shape. As we advanced further, I realized that it wasn’t stone, but a tree. At the base of the tree, was an entrance. 
I walked in front of her. When we made it into the room, we came face to face with a shelve of books. They whispered to me. To us. Rey, disconnecting our hands, raised to touch where the sunlight peaked through and hit them. The whispers grew ever so loud. I was entranced by the supposedly mundane objects.
And that’s when it hit me; I’ve been here before. Not in person, but… in my dreams, long before I ever arrived in this galaxy.
“Who are you?”
I jumped, but Rey had somewhat expected it. Standing in the hallway was Luke Skywalker, his expression laced in suspicion.
“I know this place,” I finally spoke up.
“Built a thousand generations ago to keep these.” He weaved around me and took a red book off the shelf. “The original Jedi texts. Just like me, they’re the last of the Jedi religion.” He stroked a random page, which held symbols of some sort and was written in an ineligible language. He suddenly turned to us. “You’ve seen this place. You’ve seen this island. You both have.”
“Only in dreams,” Rey whispered. I clutched her hand and she squeezed anxiously.
“I second that,” I agreed, although I could tell that my personality did not match the tone of the conversation.
“Who are you two?”
“The Resistance sent us,” Rey answered again.
“They sent you? What’s special about you? Where are you from?”
“Nowhere —“
“A different galaxy. I’m a ghost.”
Luke quirked a brow at me. “That… I’ll get to that. But no one’s from nowhere.”
“Jakku.”
He pursed his lips. “All right, that is pretty much nowhere. Why are you here, Rey from nowhere, and ghost from a different galaxy?”
“The Resistance sent us. We need your help. The First Order’s become unstoppable.”
“No, you’re not listening. Why are you here?”
Rey suddenly froze, digesting the question. She looked thoughtful. I kind of felt bad for not being able to grasp the serious air of the conversation. I felt kind of awkward, since this conversation didn’t seem relevant to me in the slightest.
“Something inside me has always been there. But now it's awake. And I’m afraid. I don’t know what it is or what to do with it and I need help,” she admitted.
“You need a teacher,” Luke nodded. “And I can’t teach you. Either of you.”
“Wait - why would I need a teacher?” I finally spoke up.
Luke frowned at me. “You mean you can’t feel it?”
“Feel what?”
“If you’ve dreamt of this place before, it is a sign. That you have the same abilities as her. For a ghost, you seem fully present. You wound up here for a reason, ghost from a different galaxy.”
I gulped down a sudden sense of responsibility. Was he… implying what I think he was? That I had the Force? Me, a normal person from Earth that had no magical ability whatsoever in a world with no magic? Impossible… Right?
“And why can’t you teach me - us? I’ve seen your daily routine. You are not busy.”
“I will never train another generation of Jedi,” he hissed in response, unable to meet our glowers of disparity. “I came to this island to die. It’s time for the Jedi to end.”
He went around us and went toward the entrance. He stopped only when Rey continued to pester him. “Why? Leia sent me here with hope. If she was wrong, she deserves to know why. We all do.”
But, instead of answering, he walked off, leaving Rey and me with more questions than answers.
~~~
Chewy tossed another stick into the fire. I was sitting next to him on a large, salvaged log, waiting for the space chicken to finish cooking. While Chewy replenished the fire, I held the skewered space chicken over it. On the other side, curled up on a grassy plot of land, was Rey. She was sound asleep, absolutely exhausted from today. I was, too, but no way in hell as missing out on dinner. Chewy and I were keeping quiet.
Chewy whisper-groaned, indicating that the chicken was done. I removed it from the fire. Indeed, it was nicely red and roasted for eating.
Chewy took the stick in his furry hands. He sliced a larger portion off and removed it from the stick. I was left with the upper chest and the wings, which was fine. He was a big boi (trademarked) and needed to eat a lot. I blew on my portion to cool it down.
We were both about to take a bite, when suddenly, a quiet cacophony of chirps sounded from beside us. I immediately melted, as to my right was the tiniest hoard of birds that slightly resembled Puffins. They stared at us with pleading eyes and I was giving in. 
However, Chewy slapped me and groaned. I pouted. “But they’re so-o-o cute, Chewy. I can’t help it. Can’t we give them a little?”
He shook his head and aggressively swatted at them. Some of the hopped away, and he accepted that, returning his attention to the chicken. I did as well, however, when I glanced to my right once more, there he was; a beautiful, hungry, adorable little space Puffin. And oh, how badly I wanted to feed it.
Chewy noticed it and was about to swat it. However, I blocked his arm. “No,” I resolved sternly. “I can’t help it. I’m going to feed him just a little bit of mine. It’s none of your bees-wax, Chewy, what I do with my food.”
He argued immediately, but I shushed him. I didn’t want to wake Rey. I tore off a piece of the space chicken and gave it to him. The bird chirped happily and munched on it. Realizing that the hostility was gone, he hopped on my lap and fell asleep.
“Oh my god. It’s so-o-o cute, look at it. Can we keep it, Chewy? Can we?” I begged.
Chewy replied with a stern no. I knew the fluffy space bear was stubborn but so was I. So, I jutted my front lip out and gave him the best puppy-dog expression I could. “Ple-e-ease? I promise I’ll take care of it. All by myself! I’ve already named it. Its name is Puffin now! Because in my world, that’s the animal it looks similar to. Please, Chewy?”
His shoulder slumped and he gave his answer.
I fist-pumped the air. “Yes! Thank you, Chewy, you won’t regret this!” He continued. “Oh. They’re Porgs, huh? Sounds adorable.” I pet my new pet and it chirped, opening its wide, beady eyes at me. I smiled down at it and gave it just one more piece before I finally began to dig into my meal.
I finished eating and bid Chewy a good night. I yawned and stretched my new Porg, Mr. Puffin, followed suit. I sat next to Rey on the large sleeping bag. She was still sound asleep, and yet there was something restless about her expression. While the Porg waited for me to curl up beside her, I noticed someone exiting the ship.
“Mr. Skywalker!” I exclaimed as he approached. He seemed much more somber than before. Rey’s eyes shot open and she was panting, recognizing that he was next to us.
“Tomorrow at dawn,” he conceded. “Three lessons. I will teach you both the ways of the Jedi and why they need to end.” Rey sat up beside me, gaze glued to him as he walked away.
I let out a gasp of joy, Mr. Puffin reciprocating that excitement. Rey turned to me, a new determination in her gaze. “You have the Force. I have the Force,” she stated.
“I can’t believe it! I actually have magic powers. I’m not some useless bum,” I squealed.
Rey laughed and wrapped her arms around my waist. She pressed her forehead against mine. “You’ve never been a useless bum. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be alive at all. I wouldn’t be here. I’d be on Jakku, rotting the rest of my life away.”
I smiled, pressing a quick kiss to her soft, lovely lips. “Thanks, babe. I’m tired and I can’t wait to learn how to use these cool-ass super powers. Let’s sleep! Oh, and I have a pet now, deal with it.”
~~~
I was overcome with a certain feeling as I arose. The first thing I noticed was that Rey was still asleep beside me, and Chewy was nowhere in sight. I was concerned. Something had stirred my soul to wake up, when usually Rey was the one drawing me out of slumber. I sloppily rose to my feet. Something beckoned me to cross over the small hill.
I was still tired. But my body felt like it was entranced. It felt… like the whispers I had been drawn to the other day. Was something calling me with the Force?
My hand was permanently on the space gun that Rey had entrusted to me. It was strapped to my waist, as I didn’t fail to grab it as I arose. I yawned again, shutting my eyes in the process while my nose scrunched obnoxiously.
And when I opened my eyes, I wasn’t prepared for the sight.
I saw him. Right in front of me. He was sitting in some invisible chair, and he looked just as bewildered. I let out a squeal of fear and shot right at him. My space gun backfired in that moment, escaping my grasp. I slipped on the ground while in the process of scrambling back over the hill. Instead, I fell on my behind, stunned by the sight in front of me.
Kylo Ren was there. And yet, he was not penetrated by the space bullet.
Panting, we continued to stare at one another. He lifted his hand to reach me, despite being seemingly far away. He was just as entranced as I was. Somehow, my panic dissolved as I realized; he wasn’t really there. Somehow, some way… we were being connected by the Force.
And then, he got up and began chasing after my figure. I let out another scream and scrambled over the hill. I grabbed my gun in the process, shooting him, but he was no longer in front of me. Instead, I noticed that the blaster had shot a hole in some innocent alien’s home.
I turned around when I heard Mr. Puffin’s chirping. He hopped into my arms, but I came face to face with Kylo Ren once more. We stared each other down. He was so very close to me, and I had no idea what to do about it. Were we… being connected by the Force?
I didn’t get the chance to think further. He raised his hand. “You’ll bring yourself and Luke Skywalker to me.”
I felt something pushing against my mind. I yelped in surprise, trying to focus on avoiding it - as Rey told me she did whenever he tried to invade her mind previously. I meagerly met his gaze and clutched Mr. Puffin closer to me. 
He stared at me intensely, flickering between the bird and me. He seemingly sensed my resistance, reaching his hand out further. But he finally withdrew. I let out a gasp of pain as the feeling numbed and faded. I let out labor pants, and Mr. Puffin squawked in concern.
“…You’re not the one engaging in this. As far as I can tell, you have no ability to use the Force,” he hummed. 
I bit my lip. “I thought… you were the one doing this,” I voiced, barely above a whisper.
He peered over his shoulder. “Can you see my surroundings?”
“N - no, you bastard,” I hissed. I pet my Porg out of stress.
“I can’t see yours. Just you,” he noted. “Where did you get the Porg? Where are you?”
“I’m never-r-r going to tell you.” A sense of pride and confidence struck me, though, at the mention of my bird. “And his name is Mr. Puffin and he's all mine now. So don’t you dare come looking for me. If you try to attack me in my sleep and if you hurt him, I’ll come for you —“
The door to Luke Skywalker’s home began opening behind me. Besides that, Rey was calling my name from over the hill. Distractions were coming at me all at once, and I was caught in the middle with my mortal enemy right in front of me.
“Luke… and that girl,” he hissed, clenching his fists together. In one last attempt to control me, he raised his hand. “You will bring yourself and Luke Skywalker to me.”
I finally forced myself to break contact when Rey wrapped her arms around my waist. And I felt but a numb pain to my head, realizing his meager attempt at using the Force had once again failed. Meanwhile, Luke called,” What’s that about?”
“Is everything alright?” Rey parroted.
I gulped, turning back to where Kylo Ren was. But he was gone. Instead, I noticed that the house that I blasted had alien nuns swarming outside shouting at me about what happened to their house.
“Uh, y - yeah, sorry. There was a… space gun malfunction.”
“It’s called a blaster.”
“Sorry, I forgot.”
“Let’s get started,” Luke instructed. “Both of you, get ready.”

I saw your Yandere Gavin hcs, what about a Yandere Huxley, Damien, and Lasko hcs? Romantic and poly if it isn’t too much :)
.... Hoo boy.
Okay, it is one thing when you deal with one yandere but three? As a polycule??
Like, yanderes willingly working together??
That is something else. Kind of terrifying.
There is a lot of typing to do here so I had to break it up a bit.
Gender Neutral! Reader + Reader is Freelancer
(also Gavin being FL’s friend)
(ended up being more scary than soft)
~ Dari
Tumblr media
D. A. M. N. Boys + General Poly Yandere HCs
(that's a bit of a mouthful)
okay, yikes, first of all Damien is the only among the three that is self-aware but it does good because he's the type to take charge and run things so neither of the others expose their... yandere-ness to you
Lasko justifies everything in his head, Huxley on the other hand is just unaware of how alarming some parts of his behavior would be
though they will probably also reign Damien in because unfortunately, he is the most inclined to violence out of all three of them
Damien is considered a protective, possessive worshipper
he would do a lot for you and is not at all above manipulation or intimidation, there are a lot of assholes at D. A. M. N. and being as he shares a lot of your classes - you deal with the same people
his possessiveness drives to make sure all of his partners aren't dealing with any unwanted pests, love rivals or not
while he probably doesn't like your friends(especially Gavin but that’s ‘cause he’s salty), he tolerates them for the sake of seeing you happy...
of course, that's not without him looking around for any dirt that could potentially expose them as actually an awful person, he is trying to keep your best interest in mind
okay, you know how Damien is the type to make detailed plans on everything, he has every detail of almost everything planned? imagine that but bumped up to itemized lists about each one of you along with literal future wedding plans if it's in the cards
also a secret little pocketbook full of experiments he wants to run for the best way to get rid of someone... alongside the places he wants to take you
Lasko is unsurprisingly submissive, obsessives, and emotionally dependent
submissive yans are the type which upon discovery; you could hypothetically have them kill for you... Anything to make you happy, y'know?
he unknowingly talks about his partners a lot; has a whole ass folder about favorite things and what he can do to help improve student life specifically for you three
holds you in such high regard, especially as he'd very rarely was able to feel this sort of love and you, pulled them altogether and he knows that he wants to have you for the rest of your lives
... he sometimes has to stop himself from saying things like "I'd just die if you left me" because Hux and Dami warned him it'd just make you upset
Lasko's ramblings can sometimes go to dark places, especially on the subject of you and the bigoted assholes that have the audacity to draw breath in your presence
"Seriously, I don't know who the fuck he thinks he is, let's see if he likes it when I make sure he fails the rest of this class. How dare he disrespect -" you know but all said in one breath
mmm, he and you and Gavin had probably did a lil' something together before y'all made things official - doesn't really have a problem with you still being friends with him
Hux is considered actually the safest of the three but still has the possibility of being quite possessive, though his traits lean more protective
very relaxed and chill for the most part, does really care too much for committing any acts of violence (maybe on Kody but that's neither here nor there)
keeps the other two from like going off the deep end like resorting to murder but decidedly stands aside to allow them to do other unsavory tasks
he gets scary when it comes to people specifically that have hurt you and does not take people disrespecting you kindly, no one believes that Hux could be mean or nasty
so everyone kind of dismisses when a sonal-energetic started saying that he'd threaten to bury them alive after they dumped coffee on the you
again, Huxley is pretty chill, though he doesn't really have a problem intimidating people into leaving you the fuck alone
especially, again, since no one would believe he'd be capable of being mean - he continues to get away with shit
it's kinda juvenile but he doesn't feel like he's doing wrong, at most, mildly inconveniencing them; mean mugging, smacking books out of hands, stealing hats, threatening bodily harm with a bright smile, etc. (Dami makes sure not to do it to a lot of people though)
While it is unlikely they'd ever commit murder;
as Lasko simply would have too much anxiety keeping it quiet from you, not to mention his rather weak constitution with blood - even if it was planned perfectly
but if it's only our resident hothead, then it's likely he could and would if the offense was bad enough
Damien had full plans to kill Kody if the guy didn't move away
love rivals? basically nonexistent; everyone on campus knows you're with them and know better than to get close
especially since you would not believe a word if they told you
all of your boyfriends were so loving and soft, Dami was a bit intense/prickly but that's because he doesn't get close to people too easily
breaks between study sessions, cooking for you, they all take very good care of you and always make you feel included despite the time they also spend with each other
You are happy, content, feeling loved, and thriving and that’s what’s important to them. Nevermind anyone else.
... though it wouldn't be too long until Gavin took notice of their rather... tumultuous feelings and his duty to you is more important than whatever connection he'd had with them
he even ran it through Caelum, who was also growing alarmed at how they were acting
he does watch them and the minute the possibility someone else could be hurt; it is unlikely he'd allow this to continue
it isn't ideal as you might be crushed by the revelation, but better that than any harm coming to someone else - whether they deserved it or not

A Star Wars Noob’s ideas for fixing the Disney sequels
Okay so just to get this out there, because it won’t leave my mind.
So I’ve been binging on SW lately and the sequels only annoy me more and more by the day. So just wanted to throw my character ideas out into the world. Focusing on characters because I like writing characters way more than plot. Hopefully if I ever actually write this thing, or even somehow pitch it to someone with the right connections to animate it with the actors as voice actors, this wouldn’t have gone viral. But since no one looks at my blog it probably won’t lol. Hopefully.
But just in case, I’ll say that this will probably contain spoilers for a story which may or may not exist by the time you read this.
I’ve deliberately been trying to avoid as much emotional spoilers and normal spoilers as I can before the sequels despite the temptation, so sorry if some stuff is a bit off. Augh I hope I can get the time to watch the full OT and PT soon. I was too tired from hiking when I watched SW4 and I now really wish my dad didn’t show me when I was half-asleep.
Rey: Rainbow of possibilities; Cynical Scavenger, Adventure-seeking Audience Surtogate Geek, or Lawful Good to the core Paladin Padawan with a personal grudge, and may be descended from a family line, maybe not, but currently most likely a Skywalker by blood. Story and other character arcs change dramatically depending on which route chosen.
Finn: Stoic soldier man learns power of friendship, finds meaning of life, causes Stormtrooper mutiny, probably becomes a Jedi and second main character and hooks up with Rey. “What‘s a joke?”. Awkward dork and stunted socially but doing his best. May instinctively find it hard to disobey orders. He may be the one wanting to find his family; but that’s dropped soon enough to focus on what’s ahead. 
(Alternatively: Proud warrior guy who acts like a stereotypical North Korean soldier who finds himself outside the First Order, learns power of friendship etc. The rest is the same)
Poe Dameron: What we Japanese people call The Aniki. The funny charismatic ace pilot who keeps everyone sane, overall bro. Wholesome but a bit rough, that guy you would want to share a beer with. But within that easygoing nature burns a hotblooded, determined, dutiful streak, and an even stronger snarky streak. The one with the social skills. Loves his droid like his son though Cynical!Rey and Finn find that initially kind of stupid/strange. 
Kylo Ren/Ben Solo: Appears to be yet another quietly imposing Star Wars villain with added edgelord factor, but actually a mentally unstable, borderline yandere berserker of a man crushed under the weight of a legacy, with a horrifying inferiority complex, identity issues, and an unhealthy obsession with familial honor, constantly stuck between Dark and Light. Despite his high rank, basically the First Order’s attack dog. Usually has the emotional maturity of a 16-year-old, if not younger. If anyone is, he’s the damsel in distress of this story.
Luke Skywalker: Cuddly sunshine headmaster sage doing his best, has been on many adventures before that are hidden ads to future Lucasfilm projects. May have gone to search for answers as to what is causing recent events, or is still present at the beginning. May survive at the end. He could be anywhere from kind of jaded but at his core still that sweet optimist, to Basically Uncle Iroh, to can-literally-summon-Porgs-by-whistling/Space Sage Mr. Rogers.
Han Solo: General of the Republic Armed Forces or courier who decided military life just wasn’t for him and now delivers important messages through still unstable areas of the New Republic, a war hero, and a dad doing his best. Wants to hold hope but may have at least outwardly given up on Ben, with Poe filling in the void. Has gone clean from his life of crime and still married 30+ years strong with Leia. He would be the one who is the closest to Poe if he’s still in the military and Leia is a Jedi, with Poe being seen as his likely successor. He might die at the end of 8? Maybe Hamill and Carrie would somehow talk him into sticking around past 7? He might still die in 7?
(Side note: I wish we could have seen Old Harrison Ford in a military casual coat-cape. He would have looked awesome in it. I mean no one would really complain that he plays fast and loose with the dress code if there even is one, he’s Han freakin’ Solo and he gives no f*cks.)
Leia Organa-Solo: Preferably a Jedi Knight, leader while he’s away if he’s away as well as their tactician, or senator considering her personality; maybe have basically what Colin Trevorrow planned for her (I mean… why not just use CGI at this point? They’ve done it before. I’m sure Carrie wouldn’t have wanted her swan song to be such a passive role either), with her bond with Luke being a major factor and us actually being able to see it in practice. May have outwardly given up on her son as well, but still is at the end of the day a mom doing her best. Basically a strong, smart lady like how she’s always been.
Chewbacca: How he always is, but he plays more of a role than basically the guy bussing the cast around, an active combat role definitely. Han’s second in command and maybe fellow dad. Possibly the part-time chaperone of the mess that is the new main duo. Also was Ben’s first friend, and you bet there will be drama here.
Lando Calrissian: Business mogul who probably helps the heroes out, maybe by selling them stuff and using his many connections to get information. And/or he’s basically an economic diplomat for the Republic. Has known Ben since he was a child and may have snuck him on too many joyrides without telling Leia, to her chagrin and Han’s amusement. 
Grand Admiral Armitage Hux: Basically how he was in SW7. Calculating, manipulative, coldhearted, intelligent, and ruthless, the brains to Kylo’s brawn. Son of former Imperial officers, killed his own father to get where he is. Gives no f*cks, except when he goes full ham. Maybe even he goes cold and pale if Kylo starts getting angry, just to show how terrifying he can be, but I also like the idea of him being one of two people who can manipulate Kylo out of a tantrum and not end up a pile of flesh or choked to death. 
Captain Phasma: How she is in supplemental material probably. A walking chrome machine of merciless death. Probably not very talkative, and probably does not take defectors lightly. She may defect at the end or not depending on how truly evil she’s portrayed to be, but I’m thinking she’s likely this cruel disciplinarian who expects complete and utter, machine-like obedience to the end, and Finn flinches at the mere mention of her, though she herself is equally as extremely loyal to the cause.
Snoke: A mysterious being, the likes of which are not of this galaxy. Probably some kind of ancient eldritch abomination who can torment vulnerable minds with an untraceable curse. Not your average Sith, and despite how it may seem it may not be connected to them at all… Or perhaps it is. Or perhaps it itself serves a larger master. It wants to use Kylo Ren for… something. Just what it is is what Luke has been trying to find out for years.
Knights of Ren: Idea borrowed from Thor Skywalker (check him out on YouTube!); possibly a military cult of Sith/Vader worshippers who see Ben as the second coming of Vader, and have aligned themselves with Snoke. Probably basically Kylo’s personal guard and troops. Or possibly directly liked to whatever otherworldly entit(ies?) Snoke is, not being of this galaxy themselves.
Anakin Skywalker: Determined grandpa doing his best for his kids, grandkid(s), and the galaxy. Doesn’t appear often, but plays a major role in the story; maybe he’s the one who led Rey to his lightsaber, and maybe he advises Luke while training Rey, or secretly follows Kylo, trying to speak to him but unable to be seen or heard by him. He’d be the one who ultimately convinces Ben to return to the light, and to, in an echo of the words Ben heard when he was being impersonated, “finish what I started”.
Rose Tico: A probably relatively new, wide-eyed young recruit in the Republic Military, and maybe seeks revenge on First Order for killing or kidnapping her sister. Not sure if she will be needed, but if there’s room for her she might be interesting. Maybe she’s one of Poe’s friends or part of his squad. She could also be the resident girly girl because there aren’t many of those here. 
Vice-Admiral Amberlyn Holdo: She’s in the Aftermath books, and those seem pretty good, so she’s probably how she is there. A quirky mostly background character that is probably at most there for Han and/or Leia and Ackbar to give commands to and salute back, but most importantly she actually does her job properly, even if she’s still a bit of an odd person. Also Poe knows her and they have a way more amicable work relationship. Also give her something which actually looks like something military personnel would wear. She could even be a legitimately good tactician who comes up with off-the-wall tactics.
(Side note: I heard that she basically has the Star Wars version of Autism, and while I’d appreciate that as an Aspie myself, I’ll also have to say that Autistic people would probably be terrible military leaders due to us not being able to adjust to sudden changes well and our bad communication skills. So yeah, sorry, unless she’s recast to something like, say, a mechanic or logistics or medic or any other more Autistic-friendly job, that’s going to have to go)
Maz Kanada: …Admittedly not sure what to do with her. But she’s more likely to be an acquaintance of Lando before Han, if she doesn’t know both. In fact, Lando may be introduced early alongside her. But she would still have the important role of keeping Anakin’s saber; how she has it, either Lando found it, or basically what was cut from TFA showing that she’s indeed pretty awesome. 
BB-8: BB-8 doesn’t have to change. He’s perfect as he is. Maybe what he can do should be more consistent though. Poe and him are basically Ash and Pikachu, they stick together whenever possible. If Rey or Finn need a droid to tag along and Poe isn’t in the party at the moment, R2 is right there. I once read a fanfic in which BB-8 was actually a droid Luke made for Ben and I liked the idea… though it probably would be a bit of an unnecessary detail in practice.
R2-D2 and C3P0: They’re basically business as usual. They would still have that boke-tsukkomi dynamic they had going on, sometimes with the added childlike cuteness of BB-8 in the mix. If there’s any extra time left for comic relief scenes, or if they’re sent on some kind of mission together, I can see these three messing around doing their thing (or rather, BB being childlike, cute and curious, Threepio being overly nervous, and Artoo being too old for this sh*t and/or BB’s cool uncle/older brother) being both cute and hilarious.
Also Worldbuilding stuff will be featured at the bottom
Elaboration on the “big four” of the sequel cast:
Rey: Aged 19, speaks with Daisy Ridley’s normal accent, not RP (I mean really, her accent isn’t that hard to understand). A whole rainbow of possibilities with this lady, though many don’t realize it. I might be leaning towards her being Luke’s daughter, though her being Just Rey may also be interesting, and her still being a descendant of Palpatine or the main villain could also have potential, though if Finn is a Jedi I don’t think there’s any need for her parents to be nobody. But the three main routes I can think of for her are these three: Cynical!Rey, a Rey with a backstory identical to the canon Rey from her abandonment onwards, Fangirl!Rey, a sort of estimation of a dorky female Star Wars nerd in-universe and the most lighthearted start out of the three, and Padawan!Rey, a Rey who is already Luke’s Padawan at his academy. Maybe making her starting point less crushingly bleak and Fangirl!Rey could work, but it might dilute both ideas, and that characterization might be a bit too similar to ANH Luke. 
As is apparent, Cynical!Rey, is, well, cynical. She’s strong and independent, but extremely distrusting, on-edge, and not used to friendly interaction. Think Female SW4 Han Solo but even more antisocial and probably not even bothering with the bravado, and basically with Anakin’s upbringing except she doesn’t even have a loving mother like Anakin did. Fangirl!Rey was my initial idea but I’m starting to become less partial to it because of the aforementioned similarity to ANH Luke, but my idea was she’s basically Harry Potter, living with stepparents who hate her, or she’s still used as basically child labor but her conditions are nowhere near as bad as Cynical Rey’s, and she would have grown up on stories about the Rebels and the Jedi and everything else in the past movies, collecting every single bit of memorabilia she can get her hands on. If one wants to go for very lighthearted and slightly meta for SW7 this is the route. Padawan!Rey could go anywhere, but I’m thinking she would basically be our D&D Paladin; ever since Ben Solo went berserk and ran off to join the First Order, she’s become very protective of her fellow students and has a really understandable personal grudge against him. She might be the strongest pupil left after the Second Jedi Massacre, and by the end maybe she becomes the successor to headmaster of the academy. It is possible that she was found abandoned on Jakku or Luke’s doorstep, however, so the theme of growing up lonely is there, and because being a Jedi is what has given her meaning in life it means a lot to her. But while I don’t want her parentage to be revealed early if it is Luke, it does raise the massive plot hole of why this was never disclosed to her or to Ben. 
And yes, I did say fellow students and academy. Wiping the new Jedi Order feels really cheap and it makes the whole hopeful Jedi Starting Anew implication that I’m 90% sure the OT ended on feel very pointless. I’d prefer them still being there, though their inclusion would be obviously way more natural in the Padawan Route. This also has tons of marketing potential for Disney, because I wanted to take IRL realism into account; what’s in it for Disney? Maybe potential to expand on other students and Luke’s academy? It could be like a smaller Jedi Hogwarts/Xavier Institute basically. Though the survivors wouldn’t be too numerous; just, like, four at most. Maybe there would be elements of an Avengers/Infinity War/Endgame-esque team movie, even if the rest are a bit out of focus.
I did think maybe the heroes would still go to Ahch-To after SW7 where Luke would have been hiding with his students researching the new threat, but maybe I could have him stay and sort of take a few cues from Harry Potter by introducing the heroes to the world of the Jedi early and giving them a break in the action as they settle in their new homes, so there’s more time to develop the padawan side characters, what the academy is like, and Luke gets to appear in SW7 as well so there can be a OT trio “reunion” (not a reunion in-universe). Though that kind of messes with other parts I want to include like Rey and Finn having to take on Kylo and getting completely whipped because he’s a rampaging madman before having to be saved by Luke. Also Rey getting kidnapped has potential for developing her trust in others, and her and Finn getting a breather moment at the Republic after the heroes and Han regroup would kind of remove a point where that could be easily slotted in the story. It would also require everything before this to be crammed in the first act. 
(Newer edit 5/27/21)  I also like her getting a golden double-bladed saber like many fans depict her. It’s not only awesome looking (because she only gets her own saber at the end of TROS… Why?), but it’s more toys for the moichendise! It fits her starting with a staff, it has more reach, and it would fit Cynical Rey especially for her to have a style centered around keeping as much of herself defended as possible. Watching Battlefront 2 footage has made me think about fighting styles a bit, and if she and Finn are a duo how their styles of combat might compliment each other, especially as their relationship develops (coincidentally she and Finn apparently are a very good combination in BF2). A Cynical Rey would probably contrast the most, with a fighting style based on keeping enemies away, trickery, and defense (a good choice for a blade made of light), maybe a bit wild at first but initially her goal in fighting would be to hold out until there is an opening to get the hell out, only staying to fight if she has no other option. Fangirl Rey wouldn’t really have a fighting style initially, and it’s gonna be very dependent on where her arc goes. Padawan Rey would have the most Prequel Jedi-esque, choreographed style, showing a lot of skill though not quite mastering it and with tons of openings at first. A Cynical Rey may have an uncanny skill to detect suspicious people, which would make her trusting the heroes easier, and though this ability isn’t super strong and is more “a slight gut feeling but it could be nothing” than “human lie detector” it could maybe be honed more. And while not quite wall vision like in BF2 (because wat? Where do they come up with this stuff?), maybe she’s good at detecting people’s presences too. These are very apt ambient skills for someone in her position. Meanwhile, Fangirl!Rey would have probably suspected she had the Force already, and her ambient abilities could be whatever, just rather passive abilities unless trained. 
If she is Luke’s daughter though, that would open up the can of worms of who her mother is. Just making it so that she died before the events of SW7 might seem a bit… unfortunate? I kind of want Luke to have found love sometime (and seriously with how much of a bombshell young Luke was, in addition to him being such a hero, I’m shocked that he never got one. I can see why Mara Jade wanted a piece of that. *wolf whistle*), but then I’d have to figure out how to incorporate her in this already character-dense story without her having cheaply died offscreen. I might be able to think of something? I could always go digging in the dusty pile of old fan theories, I might find something good. Thor Skywalker did hint at her but his story stopped at the end of where SW8 would have. If I do name her Mara there’s probably going to be extra pressure to do something with her. …But I can’t be the only one who thinks that Daisy Ridley kind of looks like Natalie Portman. Then again I’m pretty face-blind. I guess blond hair and blue eye color genes are also recessive traits for Star Wars humans. Though it seems the height genes skipped a generation because she’s actually pretty tall for a woman at 170 cm - I’m sorry what. That’s as tall as the average Japanese man! Holy sh*t Daisy! She only looks a bit small because she’s often depicted with Kylo and Kylo makes everyone not Phasma look diminutive. I guess Ben would get it from Anakin and Han (though he’s still taller than both of them…), so maybe a taller actress would be cast as Mara (?). And despite Rey’s malnourishment in the Cynical route, this actually isn’t that implausible, because stunted growth apparently only happens if children are deprived from gestation to about 2 years of age. 
And again, why wouldn’t Ben know about this? But if this isn’t the Padawan!Rey route (the hardest to incorporate Rey The Actual Skywalker into), maybe Ben took Rey’s assumed death as even more of a reason to burden himself with the entire Skywalker legacy? This would give him a reason to already care about her.
Further edits: According to the Aftermath books, Jakku was a “Lightside Nexus” planet. Maybe this has to do with her powers? (Perhaps she was kept sane by the Force speaking to her on occasion, in dreams or as she lies staring at the ceiling after a long day, showing her the loving life she used to live and unknown to her she will return to someday). Or why she was dropped there? Maybe she was supposed to be living with Lor San Tekka (the old guy Kylo kills at the beginning of TFA), but got lost one day or was kidnapped by bandits to be a scavenger because her small size would have been perfect for getting loot from small spaces? Why not take her back then? This probably is one of the biggest plot knots in the Cynical Rey Skywalker route, alongside who her mother is.  
Small detail lightning round before moving on: I once read a Japanese fic, and in it she mentioned she hates alcohol because she saw how it turned people into monsters. I actually kind of liked this headcanon, and maybe a bit unexpected. Though there’s also the route of her just being too used to it, setting her apart from previous more wholesome protagonists even more.  Also Daisy would have to start hitting the gym and protein shakes because I think her character design evolving from her thin build to a very athletic, Wonder Woman-esque body type would be pretty good in representing her growth as a character, and combined with her height she would be so very badass looking. 
Finn: Probably around 23? Infamous for lost potential, so his backstory is the same. However, I’m thinking that due to his dehumanizing upbringing, he’s a bit robotic and pretty stoic initially, a total opposite to Poe. He doesn’t understand jokes or sarcasm, and now that he’s completely left the life he’s always known, he feels pretty lost. He would basically act like a male Rei Ayanami, though I was going more for Drax at first. Alternatively, he’s a proud warrior type, imagine a stereotypical North Korean/Prussian soldier. He’d be a bit more emotional and probably less cartoonish here (I mean I have compared Star Wars to anime but full-on anime tropes in live action probably looks super corny), and he’s a massive hardass who also doesn’t get sarcasm or jokes and fanatical and would have thought of his fellow soldiers as a collective as his band of brothers and comrades, collectively serving the FO like a smoothly running machine. My initial thought was that after a life of war crimes and the influence a certain pilot whose cell he was guarding who gave him his name, and maybe witnessing the death of a comrade, he had defected from the FO, but I started thinking it would be plausible if he defected from the FO probably by accident. Highly likely to be the second protagonist, if not POV character, and if so I think it’s logical that it’s Finnrey that becomes the canon ship here. In the Padawan!Rey route, he’s the newcomer protagonist, not Rey. If they’re shipped, or even as friends, they may bond over their dehumanizing, harsh backgrounds and the feeling of being lost in the world. Also he likely starts a mutiny. Like it was such an obvious plot point but they never use it for some bizarre reason. It’s like the DM didn’t read his character sheet at all. Actually one didn’t and the other kept forgetting it in the third campaign.
There’s two ways I think his arc could go; first would be a focus mainly on his search for identity and becoming his own person. Second, his guilt about having done the First Order’s bidding for so long. Probably a combination of the two, though I’m not sure how to address them both. He also wants to see his colleagues free from slavery. But I am sure about I’d that he’d have to overcome his conditioning, learning to regain his humanity.
Especially if Rey is a Skywalker and he becomes a Jedi, he’d be the one who the movie makes a point about being from nowhere. He has no idea who his parents are, but it would not even matter in the end, it’s what he makes of his life from here on out. And if he and Rey end up together, which is extremely likely in this scenario, he not only finds his family in the figurative sense with the other Jedi and his new friends plus girlfriend, but in the literal sense as well, going from nameless Stormtrooper FN-2187, to just Finn the ex-Stormtrooper, to Finn the Padawan and then Jedi Knight, to finally, Finn Skywalker, Jedi Knight; maybe the last movie ends with one of them proposing to the other, with SW8 having previously ended with the climactic big damn kiss that cemented that they are a thing now. (Cue Luke jokingly asking when he’s getting grandchildren and How It Should Have Ended!Anakin squeeing over him getting great-grandchildren lol) His name would have this real symbolic value to it with how it changes as he goes from nobody to somebody. Not to mention “Finn Skywalker” is just a freakin’ awesome name. If they make up the leading duo, he and Rey may have some kind of inherent connection, or they progress into two parts of the same whole, even attaining something like a Dyad.
I thought an interesting thing to do if Rey is a Skywalker, and this is Cynical Rey, is a twist on the expected pattern by making him the one who sees the good in Kylo, not Rey. Because while Rey might be his cousin, she’s also a very distrustful person who couldn’t afford to think deeply about people act the way they do when she was growing up and fighting to survive. Meanwhile, Finn knows Kylo, and he also knows what it’s like to be determined to be a killing machine from a very young age, and if he has to forgive himself, or if he’s able to see the light, that Kylo deserves a chance as well. It would be the ultimate show of kindness from him, to show him forgiving the man who works so loyally under the same organization that enslaved him. I can also see Kylo being angry at himself for being unable to sense the Force-Sensitive in their midst. 
Maybe he was born on a “Lightside nexus” planet too so that it makes sense that he can keep up with other characters? Presuming he’s in his early 20s, I don’t think him being raised by the Order since he was a baby is that plausible, so maybe he was already an orphan? I can see the First Order spinning their Stormtrooper program kidnapping street orphans as “rehabilitating” them, which combined with good old Victorian style citizen apathy to street children allows them to get away with it. But if he was, say, around 6 years old when he was taken away, it would make sense why he was able to break out of his programming. Perhaps Poe showing him friendship awoke the humanity long dormant in him. But on the other hand, the younger, adolescent soldiers may be beyond saving, and I can see that being absolutely heartbreaking. 
I can see his fighting style with a saber being direct, forceful, and pragmatic, but unlike Rey the emphasis would be on engaging and keeping up the fight, and be very disciplined, calculated, and controlled in contrast to Cynical Rey. At least he’d attempt it while he gets used to the properties of a lightsaber, before there would probably be a lot of awkwardness as John is directed to swing this weightless prop blade with a weighted hilt like he would a club or sword. If he isn’t a Force Sensitive, he’s a good sniper just like in BF2, in fact this would be his primary combat ability, though still able to hold his own in melee combat. Though even as a Jedi he’d probably still use a gun as a sidearm, and his good aim would also translate to him being very good at spotting openings and spotting danger from a distance, as well as enhanced ability to dodge. 
Poe Dameron: Age 29 (?). A total bro. I’ve kind of come to think of him as this embodiment of the good, wholesome side of traditional masculinity. I can best describe him as the guy you expect to think of when you think of the guy who takes the boys to the bar for beers on the house and hosts Super Bowl night (for the Americans out there). Basically just that big bro/cool uncle everyone likes. I think he’s the least changed from how he is in SW7; he’s a laid-back pilot with no special powers, and while he’s probably the most static and admittedly flat character (and unfortunately more minor than the other two) he has tons of charisma and optimism to compensate, though being the one who keeps everyone sane definitely helps. Not to mention his piloting skills; which, note, are never eclipsed by Rey, because that’s dumb. His skills are a bit more downplayed here, but he’s still extremely good, especially for his age. Despite being the pilot he’s the most down-to-earth, and may be the only one of the big four with any social skills, even if he’s a bit dorky, especially regarding BB-8. 
Son of Rebel pilots, graduated top of his class in the Republic Flight Academy, and his background is squeaky clean, no drug trading involved, though he spent a lot of his adolescence and his adulthood in the Academy or in the military, just like in pre-TROS supplementary material. He’s the main source of jokes and wisecracks out of the trio in all but the most dorky of Fangirl!Rey routes probably, teaching Cynical!Rey and Finn what it’s like to smile and laugh. He still has a close relationship with Leia and Han; possibly closer to the latter due to the latter being a pilot and likely still a General. Not sure about him keeping his rank because him starting and staying at the top might mesh awkwardly with the rest of the trio, but maybe he’s still a Commander; whichever makes his inclusion in the main cast most plausible. Due to an adorable Pixiv comic I found he may have been inspired to become a pilot by Luke or Han. I’d like to think that he breaks the hotshot pilot cliché a bit by not being too overly arrogant, immediately setting himself apart from Han by being a wholesome guy there for his buddies from the start, even if he is fond of wisecracking and snarkiness (probably from hanging around Han and Leia), and inside that laid-back personality lies a hotblooded, passionate, unwavering core. Like, he’s not exactly hotheaded like a Latin stereotype (*ahem*), but he’s got this more subtle, but still apparent, underlying fiery hotbloodedness to him, something that especially makes itself apparent in high-stress situations and when it comes to his loved ones. He’d also be Rey and Finn’s mentor of sorts in stuff that doesn’t involve the Force, being their role model for what a functional member of society is. He may make some self-depreciating jokes about being “normal”, but I think mostly he’ll take it in stride. Though I can see him and Han having a chat about this in a more quiet scene. 
Ironically, out of the trio he could maybe be said to be the most suited to be a Jedi personality-wise, despite the fact that he has no Force Sensitivity whatsoever; he goes with the flow, he isn’t troubled, he’s happy with the simple pleasures in life, he’s just a good, genuine guy who does good things, passionate but not obsessive, and he’s forgiving, willing to give even an enemy soldier a chance, appealing to the humanity in him. The last one is particularly Luke-like, don’t you think? Oh, to elaborate on the escape; I still like the idea of him giving Finn his name (though another idea I love is a fallen friend giving Finn his name, that would change stuff around a lot from what I am thinking at this moment). I also think that perhaps supplemental material or some flashbacks, or even an animated short could be made showing just how Poe broke Finn’s programming; by showing him genuine kindness, because somehow, despite his lack of Force Sensitivity, he saw that FN-2187 could be talked out of his programming if he was constantly nice to him, befriending him, starting up casual chatter with him, and after a while the trooper starts opening up to this pilot. …Yeah, Luke-like indeed. Though since there is the plot hole of why Finn could be convinced in mere days and why he’s the only one guarding such a high-profile prisoner, a more realistic idea may be that they talk to each other this way a few times, then Poe escapes and Finn goes after him before they both crash on Jakku and have to work together, with Poe immediately being friendly with Finn and later Rey, to his (and her) confusion. (I can just imagine Poe being all chipper and trying to engage Finn in conversation, or telling him “Good job, sport!” after they fight off bandits or something, and Finn just is all deadpan and “We are enemies, we have no reason to fraternize” and I find that kind of cute).
He may ultimately be the most static of the main cast, but I can see him having a huge impact in more subtle ways; like maybe Rey and Finn think of what Poe might do in a given situation in their training, and he could be the catalyst behind why Finn thinks that Kylo can be redeemed, just like how Poe was able to light another way when it felt like there was only one path for him. He also definitely wouldn’t be the type to be so reckless with his men like he was in TLJ, if he’s still a Commander; he cares about his men a lot, and in fact they may be the reason why he tends to act like an older brother. I can imagine a pretty poignant scene with Finn where Finn sees Poe by himself and BB-8 paying respects to his fallen comrades by this handmade cenotaph, as he sets some flowers down and pours a drink to them, and Finn once again is able to see how different the culture outside the First Order is, as he would have never been mourned like that if he died on the battlefield, nor can he imagine he ever would have done so himself. Or maybe Rey is there too, because if this is Cynical Rey she’s only known a life where people exploited each other. Maybe other characters like Jessika (who he’s already close to I think? Did she show up in the movies though?) or Rose would have the opportunity to be more than background characters by being part of his crew, and we’d get some charming scenes about the bond he has with his squadron.
Again, admittedly he’d be the least deep character out of the big four, with his feelings not being explored nearly as much. But he probably doesn’t really hide his feelings much anyway. For any supplementary shorts involving him, they would be mainly lighter stories about his relationship with the OT cast and their families and his friendship with BB-8 and his crew, or action-y ones about missions he’s gone on; as opposed to, say, Finn, which would show his life as an expendable trooper who knew nothing but war, Cynical!Rey and her crushing loneliness and growing disillusionment to the world as she struggles to survive, or Padawan!Rey and her anguish and grappling with the Dark Side in the aftermath of the Jedi Massacre. 
I can also imagine him being this adorable Shipper On Deck for Finnrey lol. Just looking at his two friends, all proud, maybe even tearing up like “*sniff* I’m not crying Buddy, you’re crying!” when the inevitable big kiss scene happens. I can also imagine him being the one to tell Finn that “Hey Finn, what you’re feeling is love!”…And then he has to spend hours trying to explain what love even is to him lol. He always has his friends’ back after all. Again, he’s most likely the one guy who isn’t completely socially inept among these dorks. I’ve also had the potential idea that he could maybe be a good cook, and he’d be the one who introduces Rey and Finn to actually good food. Some fics I’ve noticed tend to show him cooking stuff probably for that reason. It’s just kind of cute, and it sets a good example if despite his traditionally masculine, salt-of-the-earth character, he likes some less “manly” stuff like such and sees no shame in it.
He may sacrifice himself in a blaze of glory towards the end, especially because quite frankly he may lose his plot relevance as the story goes on, though it would definitely be way more respectful than a lot of deaths were treated in the sequels. But I also want him to stick around because I want to imagine him being all proud of Rey and Finn after they propose to each other and giddily planning their wedding, and I feel he could have some very good interactions with Ben to build on for any spinoffs taking place after the trilogy. Speaking of…
Kylo Ren/Ben Solo: AKA Yet Another Ball Of Lost Potential: Anti-Villain Addition. This is gonna be a doozy, so strap in. He was probably the most developed character here but that just makes his lost potential stick out even more, so I have so much to say about him.
About 27 probably. While people complain about it, I actually like him being a manchild. It makes him a bit unique in this series. It’s kind of like Vader if he didn’t get stuck in that suit and kept acting like Anakin. In fact, that could make him even more terrifying if that feeds into how destructive he can be; at first he seems like your typical intimidating SW villain, not even that bad a leader with a seemingly calm if tense, imposing air, but it eventually becomes clear he’s this terrifying, volatile berserker who can throw some of the most destructive tantrums ever, and is ultimately a pathetic, broken, pitiful shell of a man. …He just happens to be a very powerful shell of a man. Maybe if he becomes emotional or angry enough, he can unleash powerful shockwaves that basically blow up everything around him, or cause mini Force Storms, or cause any number of unpredictable effects. Though he’s not quite constantly raging either; these berserk states are indeed triggered by anger, but I’m thinking that they are also basically weaponized panic attacks, there’s a sense that it’s also a self-defense mechanism that he lapses into when emotions overwhelm him or when he otherwise feels threatened (though whether it’s necessarily involuntary all the time I’m not so sure; but while he’d definitely want to be able to trigger them voluntarily, there will always be some sense that he doesn’t have full control over it). Also a lot of his rage is directed inwards as well, much like with his grandfather. I thought that maybe his unpredictability in these rages would be the key to his destructiveness, though I can see how someone who is out of control would also pose a problem, no matter how powerful; so maybe this is when he becomes the most focused, becoming locked onto the elimination of the perceived threat at all costs, and/or he can be controlled by his Master more directly like some kind of attack animal. 
Luke’s first padawan, or at least after Leia or Grogu (I might make him show up as Luke’s first knighted pupil and allude to this, providing more exposition on Kylo, and being one of the Jedi who help fight in the final battle as the Skywalkers go on to take on the final boss (and Grogu’s name being revealed would be a massive hype moment in The Mandalorian)). Due to his storied family, plus the name of his uncle and grandfather’s own master, he had heavy expectations on his (at the time) small shoulders from an early age. However, he had long been tormented by the Dark Side due to an untraceable curse placed upon him by Snoke, and probably a pre-existing anxious personality. The expectations placed on him, or maybe perhaps just self-imposed expectations, only worsened his turmoil, resulting in a festering mess of self-hatred, extreme perfectionism, and an obsession with familial honor and obsessive attachment to his family, especially Luke, that is a nasty combination of hero-worship and the abovementioned complexes and may border on almost incestuous.
There’s three ways for his backstory to go; “Underachiever Ben”, where Ben is either mediocre as a Jedi or still good but outperformed by others, or “Elsa Ben”, where he’s basically like Elsa from Frozen, possessing an extreme amount of power but barely able to control it, possibly due to Snoke’s curse, and a sort of middle ground, where Ben was super strong and a quick learner, but the dark side in him made Luke feel mixed about Ben’s increasing power, which Ben sensed. If the former, Ben becomes increasingly frustrated at himself for being such a “failure”. If “Elsa Ben”, there’s that, and also the added pain of him growing up terrified of himself and able to sense the terror he causes to those around him, so he was taken in by Luke so hopefully Luke could figure something out; he could have been destructive from the start, or maybe he started to become increasingly destructive despite his training. If the middle ground route, he takes Luke’s mixed emotions to mean that he doesn’t think he’s good enough. How severe Snoke’s curse would have been I’m not fully sure on; he could have voices in his head and nightmares keeping him up for days, chipping away at his sanity, tempting him to accept the darkness, or it may have just been an amplifying of his already unstable emotions. They could have even started as the latter and escalated to the former. But I’m thinking that to best explain his behavior I’m leaning towards the Elsa route. Eventually, his nightmares morphed into repeated visits by Darth Vader, his grandfather, who told him about the truth of his lineage and how he became Vader, slandering everything and everyone he ever admired or loved, telling him of his “true” destiny, and how he should give up and embrace it; unable to hear the real Anakin’s ghost screaming at him to not repeat his mistake. This extended campaign of mental torment stunted his emotional growth in many aspects, and at times he may seem to regress even more. Maybe other padawans were afraid of him because of this dark side presence, avoiding him, and/or were jealous of him because of his lineage and relation to Luke. He often felt entitled to be Luke’s right hand, getting jealous at other students and taking any reprimanding, no matter how gentle, extremely personally. Luke would have needed to struggle between not seeming to be biased towards his nephew and giving him the attention he needed, especially because Ben would feel like Han and Leia abandoned him because they weren’t able to help him, but considering how attached he is to Luke this would hurt him. So when Luke went to speak to him one night, or rushed in sensing an overwhelming dark side presence in his room, and was suddenly attacked by Snoke with a vision of what his nephew would become and making him go into fighting mode for a split second, drawing his weapon to protect Ben, and/or earlier admitted in anguish that he had no idea what was tormenting him despite his efforts, the straw broke the pedestal and he resigned himself to his “destiny”. Ironically he’s just exchanging one sky-high ideal for another, but he’s too emotionally immature to realize this, nor does he fully realize the fact that Snoke merely sees him as a malleable, gullible means to an end. Yet he still feels that pesky pull to the light, and he becomes increasingly frustrated with himself that even as a Dark side user, he still can’t be “perfect” or “worth” anything, not even able to sink himself into the darkness and finally rid himself of his pain. For all the privilege and power he has, or because of it, he always feels worthless. 
Basically I want to break him down and make his pitifulness obvious, but that’s what makes him sympathetic. He’s nowhere as far gone as Vader, even if he wants to be, kind of like a reverse Jekyll and Hyde situation where the Hyde is dominant but Jekyll hangs on, so to speak? Maybe? Is that the right analogy? Or I guess it is kind of like Anakin but sort of not, but he’s rapidly going down the same route of hurting his family like his grandfather. 
From researching a bit, his proposed behavior seems pretty close to the symptoms of BPD, which is actually pretty fitting because I was thinking Luke’s philosophy on the Force would be influenced by a more modern understanding of psychology, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy actually seems pretty in tune with what I understand to be how the Light Side of the Force works (I mean it even has basis in religious meditation…). Perhaps a mystical version of DBT was one of the things Luke was studying in exile. Though obviously it isn’t exactly BPD; portraying an actual, named mental illness not only has way too much baggage behind it, but it breaks immersion. And with him a lot of it will be the influence of the curse, though I think I would rather him have a personality that made him vulnerable to it from the start, so the curse had something to latch onto. 
Going with the “Elsa Ben” scenario, his “real” personality is anxious and even a bit shy. While I like the idea of him being cheerful when he was very little, the shyness always being there is also a characterization I like. Combined with his lumbering physique from his teenage years onwards, this made him a kid who gave off an impression of being extremely dorky (an act that would probably be very natural for Adam Driver to pull off lol) and/or withdrawn and aloof, the latter of which may have made some other padawans think he thought highly of himself and start to resent him. Unlike Anakin he’d be probably a dutiful student, almost creepily obedient, probably actively distancing himself from rebellious behavior, though his way of speaking isn’t exactly super formal either because of the influence of the adults around him. In his obsessions lies a genuine love, even if twisted, of his “favorite person” so to speak. He was also a genuinely sweet kid who wanted to please these special people in his life. He could be said to be actually really selfless in a weird way, because ultimately he values familial honor and being “good enough” for whatever higher purpose more than he values himself. TROS implied some sassiness with that Han-like shrug, and while I can maybe see some of Han rubbing off on him like that, that might be something that started from him trying to copy his parents’ air of confidence, and another coping mechanism. He might, like Vader, have a 501st legion 2.0 which Phasma is in charge of and Finn is part of, and show a more nicer side to them. Perhaps he opened up one or two times to Finn specifically; I can see this image of him venting to him while Finn stands still like how someone might vent to their dog, not really expecting Finn to be listening (also sarcasm might help Kylo obscure his true anguish from Finn, because FO troopers don’t understand sarcasm probably).  
He will be redeemed at the end… and live. Even if not necessarily paired with Rey. I’m neutral on Reylo (though admittedly I have a weak spot for pairs involving a strong woman and a troubled guy, so it’s kind of growing on me), but I really think this ship, or even centering the story strongly around a platonic relationship between these two, could have worked if it was built up strongly (Though if I were to go this route Finn would have to be established as a secondary character from the start, with Rey as the definitive main character, to focus on this). But either way, he’s definitely going to have to face the consequences of what he’s done, make up for his atrocities at least somewhat, and think about what he truly wants to do from now on. I can imagine him quietly reading stories to younglings as Rey, Finn, and Luke train some other pupils outside, or thanklessly working behind the scenes in other ways. For his haters out there, I could make the pill easier to swallow not just by making the reasons for his fall and how he was slowly and meticulously gaslit more clear, but also making him not as awful. Yes, he’s extremely destructive, but he could show more reluctance, or pause after his berserker rages, staring at the destruction he’s caused as the weight of what he’s done sinks in. He’d of course resent that he still has mercy left in him though. I don’t think that there will be a Starkiller Base, but even if there was he might argue with Hux a bit over whether it’s really necessary, until Hux sneers at him for having mercy, saying that Vader never hesitated when blowing up Alderaan, and Kylo reluctantly backs off.
…Actually, what about making him and Rey cousins? On one hand, if Rey is a Skywalker by blood, a direct daughter of the Master himself no less, Ben is now suddenly freed from carrying the weight of the family legacy on his own. On the other hand… He basically loses the thing he has spent his entire life building his identity around; since his fall would have partially been because of his obsession with Luke, he may become jealous and extremely resentful of her, and/or take this as even more reason for Luke to not “need” him anymore. Or perhaps, he pulls a reverse of “I sense the conflict in you” with her, wanting to “save” her from embracing the Light and wanting her to embrace the “true” Skywalker destiny with him. He could even be overjoyed that he could have someone else alongside him to carry on the legacy with; in this scenario he could have an unhealthy obsession with her that might also start crossing into “are you sure this isn’t incest?” territory. Yeah it’s a “join me and we can rule together” scenario again, but it would be done differently. Or perhaps it’s a mix of some of those. Exploring that and how he chooses to take it could be extremely interesting. Maybe it’s resolved when Anakin tells him to “finish what he started”… not just by saving the galaxy, but by also living the rest of his life loving his family not as an ideal, but as family, like Anakin wasn’t allowed to. And platonic Reylo sounds nice too. Though that’s going to make all that shipping fanart so awkward lol. Well it’s not as if Star Wars shippers haven’t been cockblocked by incest before (though his obsession with family and extremely questionable mental state would probably make such shippers go nuts anyway…). 
And going off of Poe being close to his parents, while the main interactions with Kylo from the heroes would be Rey, Finn if he’s the second protagonist, Luke, and his parents, I can see potential for an interesting dynamic and some interesting conversations between them too. Much like how he might react to Rey being Luke’s daughter, I can see him being jealous of Poe and resenting him for being his “replacement”, but after his redemption I can see potential for seeing the start of a friendship between them in epilogue comics, novels, or a mini-series. It would be pretty in-character for my version of Poe to want to help rehabilitate his sort-of stepbrother. Also I now have the adorable mental image of Ben quietly helping Poe (and maybe the rest of his squad) decorate and arrange Rey and Finn’s wedding, or the two surprising Finn with a very elaborate bachelor party, though I’m not sure if those exist in this universe. And because of a certain Inside Llewyn Davis scene I’m also imagining Poe getting Ben to sing with him and BB-8. It’s adorable. 
Also if both Rey and Finn are the main heroes, he might have some kind of link with both of them, and the main duo would both contrast him in their own way (lonely scavenger who no one expected anything of and nameless trooper who defected from the First Order vs. someone who grew up in greatness but seemingly threw it away and chose to be in the First Order; and much like Kylo Finn in particular has been manipulated from childhood to do heinous things, so he may sympathize with his situation). Maybe he’s the missing piece needed for both him and the leading duo to reach their full potential, or the main duo are the last piece needed to finally break Snoke’s curse on him, or something. Or it could simply just be Finn showing his growth and strength of character by understanding and forgiving Kylo, despite him now understanding just how badly the First Order treated him, which makes Rey (who, again, might start as this super cynical scavenger or may have seen Kylo go berserk and massacre her friends and betray her Master) come around to the idea. In this scenario it may actually be even more important to emphasize that Rey and Finn are two making up a whole, so as not to bog stuff down. It’s possible to ship Finnrey and want Kylo to have a better ending, what a shock! 
Maybe Rey and Kylo could switch places, and he comes back to the light in SW8, which is an idea I’ve seen floated and is something that would make the story truly unique. He would seem like basically a less stable Vader 2.0 at the start, but over SW8 he could be seen breaking more and more out of his own terrible mindset, coming to a head in a cathartic realization that bring him back into the arms of his beloved family. It would also add an interesting dynamic that he and Finn have to be equals now. But that may mean that Rey would have to be killed off and I’m not so sure about that. 
Though speaking of her, since in all these scenarios a common thread is that she understandably doesn’t like him, it would be a bit of a twist if Finn sees the good in him but Rey, if she’s a Skywalker, his cousin, doesn’t. 
And to bring up Poe again, I also really like the idea of them having been childhood friends and thus knowing each other before the events of SW7; after all, they’re around similar age, it isn’t that far-fetched to think that former Rebel families would be still pretty close to each other, and I’ve seen some adorable fanfics with the concept. It also adds connection between them and adds even more tragedy, even if this relationship may have to be elaborated more in supplementary material due to time. I can definitely Poe speaking like an old friend to Kylo and constantly calling him “Ben”, to his irritation. The abovementioned feeling of being replaced could be what caused Ben to suddenly break off the friendship. And making the main cast kind of tight-knit like this might also help make the cast easier to manage. 
Granted, there is the possibility of killing him off, though. I heard that one of the initial ideas for TFA was apparently that Kylo would be a reverse Vader, falling deeper and deeper into the Dark Side as the trilogy goes on. In fact, this may have been where Kylo killing Han may have been leading to. This actually sounded like a super cool idea, but considering the backstory I laid out I thought it would be way too bittersweet for the concluding movie of the saga, and if one were to say Kylo basically has BPD… That might lead to some unfortunate implications. I mean nothing is stopping me from not using the Elsa backstory, and if I didn’t use it maybe this route would be pretty viable, but I’m kind of starting to get attached to it. 
Other characters:
Hux: I’ve never really been a villain person. I mean I liked sympathetic villains, yeah (but even then I preferred anti-heroes for a while; I’m talking like nothing beyond N from Pokémon levels of “evil”), but straight-up villains I just have merely seen as obstacles. Like back in my Smash fic days I was often like “Eh… They’re there… Because they want to take over the world I guess?”. It’s why I’m having trouble with Snoke probably lol. But for some reason Hux interests me. If I take a guess it’s probably because of the potential he had as an actual foil to Kylo in his own faction. He had so much potential as a villain, and in having this tense dynamic play out. In fact he does seem to have been set up that way in SW7. But yeah, I imagine him as one coldhearted bastard. His backstory, though not elaborated on in the movies, would be much like TFA supplementary material set him up; he’d still have killed his father, but while yes, Brendol was abusive and strict, Armitage didn’t kill him completely because he was a young man who wanted to break free from his strict father, but also genuinely because he knew doing so would be good for his standing. Unlike Kylo when he (most likely) kills Han, he doesn’t regret killing Brendol at all. While he might have a tragic backstory kind of explaining his behavior, it doesn’t bother him at all, while Kylo, who considering what happened to him and how he’s literally under a curse you’d think would have a much steeper fall into unabashed evil, is constantly conflicted. It’s a very Sith Lord-like backstory funnily enough… In fact I’m pretty sure that Palpatine had a backstory very similar to this with his parents.  
He’s a very logical, analytical, brutally pragmatic person, and he looks upon Kylo’s emotional state with condescension. I’m increasingly starting to like the idea that he’s somehow able to talk Kylo down, while still being hardly nice. Perhaps he preys upon Kylo’s constant need for approval from others, even if he doesn’t like the person in question (this may also be why Kylo reacts so strongly to Finn escaping as well, in fact. He genuinely cares about people’s loyalty, even from literal no-name soldiers). Though I can’t decide whether he’s this deceptively charming snake or basically an evil Spock. I also can’t decide between him being in this constant state of “Why do I have to babysit this manchild” or giving absolutely no visible f*cks around Kylo no matter what happens, or even straight-up trolling him often, toying with his emotions because it amuses him; preferably two or a bit of all somehow? I can see him using having met Vader as a child to mock Kylo for how much of a pale, childish imitation he is, or reminding Kylo of how much better he is as a leader objectively; perhaps that’s what he holds over Kylo’s head. Or him explaining to Kylo how he was raised by less than stellar parenting and tried so hard to live up to his strict father too… So he brutally murdered Brendol in cold blood (possibly with Phasma’s help), became a better admiral than he ever was, and got over it “Like an adult. Unlike you.”. They’d be in this constant state of delicate, tense equality; Kylo can easily overpower Hux if he pisses him off a bit too much, but Hux is able to walk that fine edge seemingly without much effort. 
But when he realizes whatever grand cosmic plot he and the entire First Order has been participating in this whole time is when, ironically, there would probably be a really dramatic villainous breakdown from him. It’s kind of a Zuko and Azula situation with Kylo and Hux perhaps? Or is this Hux more a mix of Azula and Zhao’s roles rather?
——
Worldbuilding stuff: Since I’m more a character person, there isn’t much here, but because the worldbuilding was another issue in the movies I’ll also be adding these.
The New Republic isn’t nuked in the first movie. In fact it stays there for the duration of the trilogy and the hero faction is now its armed forces, not The Resistance (Also that name makes no sense. Seriously. At least name them The Peacekeeper Corps or Vigilantes or something, or since they’re basically Leia’s personal military maybe the Organa Free Army or Organa Corps or something of that sort. No wonder people mistakenly call them The Rebels sometimes. It’s a similar setup to Chrom’s Shepherds in Fire Emblem Awakening, albeit with a better relationship with the kingdom; it would be downright strange if the Shepherds called themselves The Resistance despite literally existing with the queen’s permission, and it still is here. Hell, Leia’s Shepherds is a better name). There would be elaboration on the political stuff going on behind the scenes, and if Leia isn’t a Jedi that’s her plotline probably, though a big part of me wants her to be part of the action instead of being stuck on the homeworld. 
Meanwhile, The First Order is made up of Imperial Remnants and people and planets who were unsatisfied with the democratic but still new and fragile New Republic. Basically think White Russians if the Soviets weren’t also awful. It happens a lot in history. While it may have some mining planets in its orbit (not literally, you know what I mean) so it can plausibly refurbish anything Kylo wrecks with his tantrums, Starkiller Base is probably a bit much, and a lot of their equipment might be old Imperial or Rebel stuff, or stolen from the New Republic, with new stuff being produced but not in overly high quantity. Some of the equipment deemed less important might even be kind of crappy due to how old they are. They’d probably be at most an equally powerful faction to the Republic, if not smaller than them, seeming more like a terrorist cell. I don’t have much of an idea why Snoke would want to be involved in it yet though. 
But while the First Order might be smaller, the New Republic is hindered by it just now finally gaining its footing, and the military previously only having been used for peacekeeping and sniping stray Imperial remnants. Because it’s peacetime, it might have been kept pretty small, and also the military academies are literally not even 30 years old at this point, so new that it’s possible Poe, despite his youth, was one of the earliest graduates; one of the military’s most high-ranking officers is literally a scoundrel with no formal training - even if he is good at his job - it isn’t exactly a well-oiled machine, though its less rigid, casual structure also does benefit it in some aspects. Also the FO can easily use Kylo as intimidation, and its upper staff is nothing if not driven and motivated as well as ruthless. They may engage in more underhanded actions like sabotage and suicide bombers, or rely on small elite units like the Knights of Ren or small companies of troopers, to poke holes in the enemy just as much as open combat. And maybe if all else fails Snoke causes something really bad to happen seemingly out of nowhere. 
While I do think that making the baddies an Empire 2.0 is an… uncreative decision, I want to keep Finn’s backstory, plus it fits Kylo’s story too so blah, I kind of have to keep it. Plus I want to do Phasma and Hux justice. Maybe Snoke or whatever it serves turns into a giant Eldritch abomination and have no use for the FO anymore. And again, reactionary forces are a thing that have existed throughout early modern history. But as already mentioned, due to the nature of the First Order’s existence, maybe the Stormtroopers aren’t kidnapped, but they were orphans picked off the streets, and/or some more dedicated Imperial parents gave them their children? I had the idea that Troopers like Finn are “Junior Troopers”, the child slave type, while older members, “Senior Troopers”, would be legit Imperial revanchists and former troopers. Maybe there’s a separate company of Juniors who think they’re cool by fighting for the First Order, but generally Juniors would be the lowest on the social rung, though some might make it into higher positions, and don’t know any other life than what they have now. Though I also like the idea that Finn was part of an elite unit directly connected to Kylo Ren like the 501st, so he has a reason to be particularly hurt by his betrayal (but that could throw a wrench in the whole Finn was a faceless cog in the machine thing). They’re pretty Prussian in command structure; officers work under mission-tactics, but the rank-and-file are machine-like in their discipline, more than even some actual droids. The Republic’s forces also probably engage in mission-tactics a lot, except how far it is acceptable goes way further down the chain of command, so stuff like the Holdo situation doesn’t happen. If that situation were to happen when mission-tactics were to be expected Poe’s independent action would be seen as reasonable. This would have potential for very interesting battles and tactics, though I’d need a lot of help with those because I’m the furthest thing from a tactician you can find (but even I can tell the bomber scene from TLJ was dumb, which should say something).
I kind of realized that it’s possible that the four OT legacy characters may end up basically representing four major aspects of the New Republic; the Jedi (Luke), law and justice (Leia, if she’s a senator), the military (Han, if he’s a general), and economics (Lando). I think some worldbuilding into how the republic functions should be explored through these characters as they move the story forward, except for the Jedi since they’re obviously a central focus, and Luke might very well be introduced after them, and the military will also get focus for obvious reasons, and Poe exists. The information definitely needs to be conveyed as efficiently and organically as possible through the story, because there’s two, likely three, equally important main characters and an unholy amount of secondary characters who aren’t exactly minor. 
May write more later idk. I need to be doing other stuff…
