Confession time: when I read the shooting range scene, I stopped and gave my sister a blow-by-blow because I couldn’t keep it to myself. Finn is my favorite character in part because of just how ‘good’ he could have been as a Stormtrooper because of his skill set, but he turned his back on that. He is strong and capable of making difficult decisions on the fly, but he chose to be known more for what he wasn’t willing to do more that what he could.
That is partly what I’m going for, yay! When I first signed up for this fandom it was pretty much just shamelessly for the pretty boys rubbing themselves on each other, and I superficially thought Poe was super pretty and Finn was adoracute, and I’ve been steadily growing into actually liking them as humans. But I’m really finding Finn most satisfying if I go into it with him basically being smarter and more analytical than everybody else.
I just, I’m getting impatient to add Rey in, because I had a shallower understanding of all the characters when I wrote the first draft and I’m looking forward to expanding her the same way.
