still thinking about how it was zorii, never seen without a gun, who taught poe how to use a blaster and it was poe, the best pilot in the galaxy, who taught zorii how to fly.
later in the war we see how adept poe is at shooting and how zorii was able to maneuver a starfighter in space with control precise enough to blast a first order warship to bits.
it goes to show the impact they had on each other’s lives. the significance of their relationship, no matter how short-lived it was. even when things between them ended the way it did, they were friends once who shared the best parts of themselves to each other.
They write her as this mysterious and cool character who has a heart deep down, but then they make her abusive in Poe Dameron: Free Fall. I understand it was to not make Poe look bad and to justify him leaving, but, that ruins any appeal of Damebliss (Poe/Zorii) at least for me. I mean, people don't ship Marly/Ryder from Glee anymore because their actors were abusive towards each other! So if people don't ship two characters together because their ACTORS, not the characters themselves were abusive to each other, why would they ship a couple because one was abusive towards the other?
If they wanted Damebliss and for people to want to ship them, they should have just made Zorii similar to Alex Vause from Orange Is The New Black (f'd up, but nice enough for people to like her)- maybe even had Poe leave Zorii after Zorii's mom died (at the hands of one of her enemies seeking revenge or something). Sure, it's still f'd up on Poe's part, but it would at least be better than making Zorii abusive.
It’s been a minute since I took prompts for six sentence Sunday ficlets, so I thought I’d go for it this weekend. But...how bout we try something new? 😏
As you might be aware, we can now send gifs in asks. So I’d challenge you to send me a gif along with your ship choice (ship options are tagged below) as a prompt for a six sentence ficlet! Fun right?! 🥳 Now I realize this is only an option if you’re on the mobile app, so if you only use tumblr on a browser and you really want to send a prompt, it’s ok to just send me a first sentence starter like I’ve done in the past.
**Please nothing mature or explicit and please no Halloween stuff!!**
Poe and Zorii are one of those couples who bicker constantly but know each other inside out and are ridiculously romantic when they think no-one’s watching

Poe Dameron had always been the storm, rolling in like the summer rains; the thunder in his laughter, the lightning in his eyes. So beautiful, and yet so capable of bringing down the very heavens if he cared.
“You can stay here.”
“This is your world, Poe. Not mine. I don’t belong here any more than you belonged on Kijimi.”
(Some delicious Damebliss angsty goodness in the morning)
HI EVERYONE ITS A NEW DAWN ITS A NEW DAY ITS A NEW LIFE. This post is gonna have a second part. the first part (this post) is twelve fics from twelve months of 2022.
2022 had a pretty rough start for me but I've grown a lot and learned a lot AND I've written more this year than any other year, I think. It feels like it at least, between everything I've posted on my ao3, to wips still baking, to several rps I've done with my friends. I've grown not only as a person but as a writer and I think it shows. I decided I wanted to pick out my favorite fic from each month this year that I posted to share here :)
therefore, without further ado, mav's fanfiction 2022 year in review:
