Makes laundry a little higher-stakes; if you drop anything you don’t even get a second, it’s got to go straight back in the wash if it so much as brushes against the ground.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dragonlady7&ditemid=3162247" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:281551:122693 2016-02-02T04:22:57Z 2016-02-02T04:22:57Z public 0 via <a href="http://ift.tt/23FGTw1">http://ift.tt/23FGTw1</a>:<br />I wrote this bit and I was like LOL self, that’s so fucking stupid, that’s totally not going to make the final draft. But I kind of. I can’t make myself delete it. It’s like. It’s my ship manifesto. It’s the clearest vision I had of what it’s like to be a Stormtrooper. (OK, this, and the snuggle barracks bench from the French &amp; Indian War-era fort near my house, where it’s just a six-foot-wide bench along the wall that everyone sleeps on, and Stormtroopers are totally used to that. A snugglier form of space travel.)<br /><br />IDK. Finn has no personal boundaries. This is my most enduring headcanon. <br /><br />“So this is really weird for you people, huh?” Finn asked, when he figured enough time had passed.<br /><br />“We really don’t shit socially,” Poe said. “It’s not just me being a prude. We’re pretty much all gonna think it’s weird.”<br /><br />“Huh,” Finn said. He looked around. “So I’ve had to learn a lot of new stuff here, and I think this? This might be the weirdest thing. It’s a bodily function! It’s a thing literally everyone does! Why do you have to go do it secretly?”<br /><br />“It’s probably the most intensely private thing we do,” Poe said. “Nudity, most of us get over that. Sex, whatever. But I don’t think I’ve ever in my life been in the same room as another adult while taking a crap.”<br /><br />Finn thought about it a moment. “Babies, though! They just shit themselves all the time, don’t tell me that freaks you people out?”<br /><br />“Oh, fuck me,” Poe said, “you just made me think about the fact that Leia fucking Organa has changed my shitty diapers in my life, and a big part of what I do here in the Resistance is avoid thinking about that.” He was laughing helplessly again.<br /><br />“I can’t help what I do,” Finn said, amused. “I mean, I guess that gives me context, though. She has dealt with your literal shit, and you’d die for her. That’s a hell of a bond.”<br /><br />“That’s not why,” Poe said, indignant but also possibly dying of laughter.<br /><br />“No, no,” Finn said, “that’s totally it. The shit-bond. It’s sacred to your people. I get it now.”<br /><img src="http://dragonlady7.dreamwidth.org/file/106548.png" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dragonlady7&ditemid=122693" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
