      *rushes into conversation like she’s a part of it* @graciegirl I do my school and stuff on the floor too! :D. Or I used to. I now have a short table I set my computer on (though I still sit on the floor)

      @whoever was talking about this…. Jyn and Cassian were at thing. I was really happy they didn’t kiss (though a small part of me wanted it), and the hug was amazing. I think the really awesome thing was, they weren’t just love interests; they helped each other through their struggles. They helped each other grow. They actually had a relationship, if you know what I mean. Not just a you-look-pretty-we-work-well-together thing. It meant something.

        @winter-rose Yeah, who needs chairs anyway? 😜
        And w/regards to the Jyn & Cassian thing, you and I are of the same mind. A greater love story than half the stuff I’ve read and it didn’t even really happen. Go figure. 😆

        *is probably geeking out about something*

          @Dragon-Snapper @GracieGirl @Winter-Rose Totally agreed.

          They actually had a relationship, if you know what I mean. Not just a you-look-pretty-we-work-well-together thing. It meant something.

          Gabrielle, exactly.

              @Winter-Rose YES. Why do writers not do it more often?

                @ethryndal You mean, accurately portray a romance where the main character has the nerve to say, “Hey, I like you and all, but we’re kinda in the middle of saving the world and I don’t have time to date?” I don’t know…

                  @that_writer_girl_99 Heh, no, that wouldn’t end very well. 😛 I’m kinda scratching my head on how I gave that impression. I was just seconding what Gabrielle said:

                  They helped each other through their struggles. They helped each other grow. They actually had a relationship, if you know what I mean. Not just a you-look-pretty-we-work-well-together thing. It meant something.

                  But when it comes right down to it…the world is kind of more important than a crush… 😉

                    @ethryndal Haha yep the world is slightly more important. 🙂
