Star Wars Characters and how they make their coffee: a thread
Obi Wan makes French press coffee and gently uses just the weight of his hand to lower the filter, so that the sediment isn’t overly disturbed and the acidity is controlled.
Poe Dameron uses a Chemex.
He has broken four of them this year alone but refuses to switch methods because he likes coffee preparation methods that wear a little scarf
Finn has a keurig because Jesus Christ not every thing has to be a beautiful tea ceremony in the morning for crying out loud he just wants a nice cup of coffee to go thank you very much

Things Ao3 writers know that readers might not!
If you edit your comment, the author will get an email for each edit.
If you edit your comment six times, we get six emails 😂
Also hi I am violet you can hire me to write things for you if you want
@ LFL I am available to write a Star Wars book if you would like your intellectual property to get a little more chaotic
BURNER PHONE:
Rey just wants to do her job and wipe the company phones so they can be reprogrammed. A certain mystery man is not helping.
[an epistolary reylo au]
Star Wars: is it romantic tension if the pilot and the ex storm trooper flirt constantly?
Star Wars: absolutely not. They are very straight. Poe has an American flag for a penis
Star Wars: ok but what if the main leads literally kiss on the mouth
Star Wars: somehow also no.
My timeline right now is just like:
Guys you know what I’m so over Star Wars like literally fuck the mouse whatever I’m done being mad it just is what it is

YOU KNOW WHAT BUGS ME THE *MOST* ABOUT TROS THO-
Threepio finally lost it. He’s straight up about to murder someone in cold blood. Like he HAD it with these skywalkers ruining what could have been a perfectly nice brunch, BENJAMIN
"hey, you majored in english, where does the comma go in this sentence?"
first of all: how dare you assume i learned something practical in my studies
second of all, the comma goes where you FEEL like it goes in your heart
If you leave a comment, you are directly, 100% making the author’s day better. Like no cap. A nice comment is an absolute good, a karma boost, a shot of joy to the world.
Nice comments make me cry in a good way on the REGULAR.
everytime a reylo gets a book deal i gain 10% health and stamina
i know their success has nothing to do with me but still i grow stronger each time on like, a secondhand high
it's just such a genuinely great feeling to see good people winning
Many people prefer to read only complete fics, but if there’s an author you love and trust, taking a shot on a WIP is a wonderful way to support them.
Works in progress are when (I think) most authors need encouragement.
if a space wizard arrived at my door and told me i was a selfish parent if i didn't give my odd psychic wizard child up to an institution where i could never see them again i would simply hit that man with a shovel
Women like sci-fi. Women like fantasy.
If you think we don't, it's probably because your female friends & loved ones don't trust you enough to share their hobbies and interests with you! Yikes!
SYSTEM OVERRIDE:
“What do you mean she’s gone?”
The tech balks up at Kylo, eyes wide. “Just that. Natural language processing, automatic speech recognition, text to speech are all still there. Someone wiped the personality chip. Must’ve come from pretty high up."
CC: Kylo's only friend is Rey, an AI that runs the FO's ship. After Snoke wipes and removes her personality drive to punish him, Kylo, determined to get her back, hires the best programmer in the galaxy: the Scavenger, and realizes she programmed REY with her own personality.
In my 4 years of being excited about the sequel trilogy, I have never (literally never) heard even 1 woman ask me the question "but how is Rey so powerful though?"
Leaving kudos is maybe the most “useful” way to help an author, since many people sort by kudos count when they’re looking for fic.
We’ll keep writing either way, but it’s great manners to kudos any fic you read and liked even a little (tho ofc it’s up to you!)
if you don't want to go private but you do want to reduce your risk of being harassed online, consider changing your icon to a picture of a white dude holding up a fish
i think it was Bloodline (Claudia Gray) where Leia talks about how Luke forgave their father, but how she had a much more complicated relationship with his memory, and how lonely that was
I really liked that detail. In a franchise so obsessed with legacy, it feels radical.
remember when we had to tag our fics as lemons if they had sex in them and now the tags are like "BASICALLY THEY BONK FOR 2 THOUSAND WORDS IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU WELCOME TO SEX TOWN POPULATION: THIS SHIP"
stray thought but the voice actor for zuko did such a good job?? and his name is DANTE BASCO which is objectively one of the coolest names i've ever heard
Bookmark tags are public and we can see them.
It’s often a place that people think is more private than it is. If you post something critical there, it’s likely the author will see it.
Ayo just a reminder (mostly to readers) that unless you make a bookmark private, everyone can see it, including the author, so if your bookmarks are public, be cautious about what you say in the bookmark notes/tags. Whatever you say, positive or negative, the author can see.
You know that "out beyond right and wrong, there's a field, I'll meet you there" quote that was circulating in regards to TRoS?
If you read that whole verse - the bit at the end- I'm-
Oh my god
Fic where Rey is princess Palpatine working to undermine her grandfather and good boi Ben solo is tasked to infiltrate the castle and either kidnap or rescue her like-
I hate this aspect of the movie but the fic potential........
I am not an expert on education, but it’s not surprising to me that a generation of kids whose art programs were systematically defunded then grew up with weak media interpretation skills
Real question:
Is this scene from Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004) still... the most positive and accepting portrayal of gay relationships in the Disney canon?
We can’t see WHO is subscribed to our fics specifically, just the overall number.
If there’s something you like reading but you’re embarrassed to leave a kudos or a comment, you can subscribe and we won’t know.
Curious Cat Prompt: "Prince Ben has no desire to settle down. Leia invites dozens of princess to the castle, telling him they won't leave until he picks the bride. Rey is sent by her grandfather, but she's not interested in marriage and lets everyone know that. Ben is entranced."
