oh no, this goes right with my bb-8 is a rescue droid headcanon
the one where poe comes back after a mission to some junkyard world in the outer rim with a battered and malfunctioning bb-8 in tow and everyone tries to tell him it’s useless to try and get a bb unit in working order because they’ve been out of production for years, see you can’t even find some replacement parts anymore, it took you 4 days just to dig up a maintenance manual
the one where poe reads about the bb line’s ‘adaptive personality’ function and makes a conscious effort to: spend some time talking to bb-8 everyday; speak softly around bb-8 even when he’s angry or upset; honest to god actually play hide and seek with his droid or having a long game of ‘find the thing’ across the entire base on their days off; never delete a file or tweak a protocol without bb-8′s consent, even when it’s a minor or routine maintenance thing
the one where their first genuine bonding moment after bb-8′s rescue is poe getting around to that promise of giving bb-8 a new pain job and asking bb-8 to choose some colors and it’s never outright said but the reason bb-8 picks white is that it’s pretty and not dirty like all the junk in the old scrapyard, and the reason bb-8 picks orange accents is because it matches poe’s flight suit and once the new coat is done bb-8 twirls around and chirps happily and poe’s big dumb all-loving heart hurts a little
That scene in Mulan where all the ancestors are arguing about whose fault it was that Mulan ran off to join the army except with all the Force ghosts arguing about Ben Solo.
Obi-Wan: I knew it, I knew it. That Ben was a troublemaker from the start.
Padme: Don’t look at me, he gets it from Anakin’s side of the family!
Anakin: He’s just trying to help his Dark Master!
Yoda: If discovered, he is, forever shamed, will Luke be. Dishonor, to the family will come. Disintegrate, traditional values will!
Qui-Gon: Not to mention they’ll lose the farm!
Mace: My children never caused such trouble; they all became acupuncturists!
trying to find that one post where y’all speculate about Finn realizing he needs to provide a surname, and he just goes with “Dameron” because that’s the first one which comes to mind (none of his old friends had surnames or even names beyond their official designations, and he can’t remember that much of his family)
and Rey is like “yeah solid choice, makes sense, I like the sound of it” because Rey is a feral desert child and doesn’t know any better
and of course Poe is charmed, and is like “sure I am happy to provide jackets, surnames, my elite piloting skills, my hand in marriage: anything for my friends”
and idk at some point, someone is like “okay Rey do you have any other name, what’s with the mononym shit” and she’s like “uhhhhh DAMERON” because really if it works for Finn, it can work for her
and the long and short of it is: they see nothing unusual in this and completely miss any implications, and eventually this nonsense gets back to the Resistance fighters and Poe’s entire squadron smirks at him for days
