Thank you, dear. I just reread that post and it comes across very sad! I wasn’t that sad by the end of it, I was more bemused at my own vagaries.
I have had to momentarily shelve the rest of the story about Rey learning about decorative undergarments, because I had to start an aside about Kes Dameron: Furious Revolutionary. Think of him, whose people were destroyed largely under the auspices of the Republic; he knows the Empire is worse, and will die to bring them down, but he has no nostalgia or love for the Republic either. And so, near the end of the Rebellion, someone is waxing all rhapsodic about the new Republic they’ll build like the old one, and Kes goes to diplomatically leave the room and Leia’s like no what this is cool and doesn’t want to let him go, and he treats the assembled to a magnificent diatribe on just how fucked the Republic was. And they take it as a mandate to Do Better, because they’re revolutionaries.
But they don’t, because. Well. That’s always what happens.
Anyway. Also, I’ve been writing the scene where Kes meets Bolt. I know Leia told him about him, but it’ll be different to see him in person.
Also my work computer is refusing to connect properly to the Internet so I am also considering lying on the floor at work and giving over to The Despair, but that’s an unrelated problem.
