UPDATE #reylofic

punch down

🥐 baking triumphs and pitfalls
❤️‍🔥 slow burn
[picture of a piece of red and white check gingham fabric that’s a little rumpled up, so there’s light and shadows. at the top, in a crisp, sans series, all caps font, the text reads: punch down, with the word “punch” bowing upwards and the word “down” bowing downwards. the effect is that the two of them are nestled together. under that, there is the actual swirly flourish from the gbbo logo, and then, at the bottom, in the paterson font: a great chandrilan bake off au by ninepiecesofcrait.] [screenshot of an ao3 fic summary that reads as follows: punch down by ninepiecesofcrait. Ben doesn’t even know why he’s doing this show.   But he knows he’s going to prove that he’s the best amateur baker in all of Chandrila.]

mother-son legacy. #reylofic #dyadprompts
leader. A good leader does the right thing, Senator Leia Organa had gravely explained to her seven-year-old son, even if they never get credit for it. He’s never had his mother’s unerring sense for the right thing. But occasionally, when the new Supreme Leader gives an order—an otherwise-idle squadron deployed to deliver relief supplies, a unilateral refusal to ally with a Hutt slave cartel, a better rehab program for injured troops—a tiny, traitorous voice wonders if any part of her could be proud of any part of him.

Four hours into her shift, he’s back again, this time with a long list of titles she’s pretty sure he knows they don’t carry.

“This one’s out of print,” Rey says. “And this author got cancelled.” He frowns, refolding the list as he leaves.

“What’s this guys problem?”’

Rose smirks. “You.”

This article is so good! 🤌🔥

It really is a story we really need right now and something that is rarely seen in film.
A Ben Solo film could correct that. It could show what happens after a man chooses tenderness. It could let him live, rebuild, apologize, nurture. It could let the gaze linger, not on battle but on intimacy, reconciliation, and mutual strength.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

#dyadprompts - time for my fourth installment of my slutty spy ben au! i'll link the first three installments in the replies if you're curious 🤠

1/3
we see a chair and a woman tied to it - she appears to be scantily clad (bare feet, etc) and her hands are tied behind her back The world had tilted. It was her first thought as Rey swam back to consciousness, the tall windows across the way, more broken than not, hanging drunkenly off rusty hinges. The meat hooks above her, whistling and clanking under the constant air conditioning like noxious windchimes, seemed much farther away than when she’d first been manhandled and strapped into a chair. It was freezing inside. And her head was pounding. Multiple contusions were blooming down what Rey could see of her legs, and there was an ache in her jaw. But she could open and close her mouth, her blurred vision was rapidly clearing, and she found she could wiggle all ten fingers and toes. She wasn’t completely doomed yet. “Well,” drawled a voice somewhere behind her, in a tone practically engineered in a lab to provoke, “so thrilled to see you’ve finally rejoined the land of the living, princess.” Ah. Of course. They weren’t completely doomed yet. On a generous day, Rey could even admit that Solo’s presence increased the likelihood of an escape by a factor of two. But her head felt like an angry beehive, and she was lying on her side, in an absurdly cold warehouse decked out like a supervillain’s wet dream, in the merest whisper of a balconette bra and lacy thong. A fucking thong. It was not a generous day. Injecting as much of a sneer into her voice as it was possible to do while frozen blue and nearly nude, Rey replied, “So sorry, Solo, I didn’t realize you were on a strict timetable.” If she was being strictly honest, Rey knew most of her injuries, including the bump on her head, were her own fault; she’d tipped the chair and her person onto their respective sides with a bruising bang after trying—and failing—to free herself. But, if she was going to go ahead and be honest, then it was also true that Solo’s inab— “Besides, it’s your fault we’re in this position anyway.” With a bit of thrashing and even more flailing and at least several skin cells left behind on the porous concrete floor, Rey managed to flip her chair just in time to see Solo sputtering in outrage. “My fault? My fault? How is you raising the suspect’s alarm my fault, sweetheart?” Their captors—Hux’s goon squad, faceless and nameless, but with accents that Rey’s aptitude for languages had placed across four nations—had been relatively civil to her. Relatively. Agent Solo, on the other hand… While she’d been tied to a chair, he’d been strapped to a pole, arms pinioned behind his back. The tux he’d been wearing was ripped at the shoulder, his tattoos gleaming underneath, and his snowy white shirt was spotted with blood. She thought they’d broken at least two of his ribs before she lost consciousness. “Stop hurting him! He’s just a civilian I used to get into the party. The idiot knows less than nothing. I’m the only one who can help you!” He looked far worse now. The cut carving over his forehead and cheekbone, the one still dripping down his shirt, she thought it would likely scar. And one of his knees…well, knees shouldn’t do that.

this just spawned from one comment on the other app. thanks, I won't stop thinking about this now

jedi ben, scavenger rey. He thought it would be another boring family vacation....
sketch of ben solo dressed in a snow suit kneeling down to freezing scavenger rey, "where do you come from? what happened to you?" With trembling teeth she barely answers, "tt-they threw me out. d-dropped me off." rey curls into ben's chest, seeking warmth. "let's get you somewhere warm first," he reluctantly puts his hands on her.
