[joke's on you poe will NEVER GIVE UP. he was born without the giving up gene. 20 years from now when finn is still an anxious disaster poe will be sitting right next to him like "okay but are you sure you still don't remember the time you were naked in a bacta bag and i ran across the hangar like it was life day morning?? no??? okay, maybe tomorrow."
add this screencap to your gallery: poe's brow furrows with concern. it's been coming in waves, the different levels of horrible that finn's life was. BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT, so he didn't have to think. and now that he's confronted with it, he's like "...oh. oh. EXCUSE ME?" he knows it's not a dismissive "there's not much", that's a "finn literally doesn't think there's that much to him because he was raised to think he's less than a person."
UNACCEPTABLE. ]
I know that's not true.
[he reaches across the table to take one of finn's hands in both of his. just going for it. going full gay now, no turning back. take another screencap of his painfully earnest face.]
You still think you're just a number, I get that, but I know there's so much more than that. Even if you don't remember everything that happened before, the you that you are now? He's somebody, too. Everybody is important and special in some way. I really believe that. And you can't — don't ever let anyone make you feel like you aren't. Like you don't deserve that much. 'Cause I'll come kick their ass.
[nailed it. probably way too strong for "i just wanted to know if like you had any stormtrooper friends and what your favorite food is and if you have a birthday" but you know what? you know what? you're looking at the most extra person in the entire galaxy. sorry not sorry.]
