I let out a very soft gasp

#‘its experiences’ did you mean:#poe dameron awake at 4AM singing BB-8 songs he makes up as he goes#poe dameron running back into a firefight to save a disabled BB-8 from certain destruction (sustaining a shoulder wound)#poe dameron speaking in binary even though BB-8 tells him he sounds absurdly stupid#poe dameron sewing a little hole into all his tents so that BB-8 can charge next to him while he sleeps even when they’re on recon missions#poe dameron referring to BB-8 as ‘my friend’ and making sure his programming equips him to fully understand what that means#poe dameron always asking BB-8 to do what he needs instead of ordering it#poe dameron rewriting the astromech default programming that would force BB-8 to call him master#poe dameron rebuilding BB-8 by hand himself whenever BB-8 gets damaged#and keeping his hard drive and his audio sensors live so he can reassure BB-8 as he goes that it’s all going fine#IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT BY ‘EXPERIENCES’#DID YOU MEAN ‘POE DAMERON’#because that’s what BB-8 would mean#‘strong loyalty subprogram’ is one way to put it#‘loves poe dameron right back’ is another#han shot first via (@gyzym)

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

oh nooo
