Tags: challenges Subject: What is the one thing about yourself that you don't want anyone to ever know? Time: 03:32 pm Current Mood: awake

To be perfectly honest with you, there isn't much about me that people don't know. I am upfront with most everything about myself and I haven't much to be ashamed of. I mean I should be ashamed of some of the things I have done but I'm just not because I did those things so why look back and regret? But like I was saying, there isn't much about myself that people don't already know and if people do want to know anything more, all they need to do is ask me. Secrets are fairly pointless endeavours; all they do is hurt you and the people you care about. I've adopted a blunt and honest truth policy which stings on more than one occasion but it lends towards very little hassle and if people don't like it, that's their problem. But yeah, nothing I can think of at this point in time. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 152

Tags: challenges Subject: What do you look for in a romantic partner? Time: 07:51 pm Current Mood: hopeful

Women never featured much in my life, I was always too busy smuggling things and running away from the different worlds that just so happened to have a bounty on my head but eventually, I found a woman and boy did she piss me off in the beginning. We'd constantly argue and we'd constantly try and irritate one another. Not the best way to start a romance but I never claimed to be regular or even normal. But you know how that saying goes, hate and love are closely related and sure enough, hate gave way to love and the rest is history. If anything, I look for fire in a woman, I look for a spark and I do all that I can to bring that spark to life. I need a woman who isn't afraid of a little confrontation, not afraid of being passionate and stands up for what she believes in. I would want my partner to be brave, daring and confident. No wallflowers for me, I need a woman who can match me step for step and isn't afraid to put her money where her mouth is. Looks are important as they are some of the first things you notice and then eventually you get around to noticing the personality, the brains, and the sense of humour. All the really good stuff that makes up a person but the way a person looks is the first thing you really see and the first thing that really leaves an impression. I’d like my partner to turn heads wherever she goes so I could be the guy that other guys are jealous of and I'd be the guy that most would dream would vanish out of the picture so they could take a shot. It's always fun to be a point of envy for people even if they happen to be complete strangers. Another thing? I need for my partner to understand my attachment to my ship and the stars, any woman who wants me will have to accept that I am a pilot first and foremost, these stars are my freedom and there's no way I'm ever leaving them behind. If she can accept everything about me, right down to my mercenary tactics and my impulsive brash nature, then she would find herself with a very good bet. All in all, I would just want someone who wouldn't be afraid to stick by me, wouldn't be afraid to tell me when I was being an idiot and wouldn't mind a little friendly banter. Though I have to say, I've stopped looking as I have the perfect partner for me. Never imagined that the Princess would fall for a scoundrel such as myself but she did, and I've never been happier.

Tags: challenges Subject: What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome in your existance? Time: 06:13 pm Current Mood: content

Biggest obstacle? It would have to be ignoring my survival instinct along with my selfish inner voice to help out Luke, Leia and the rebels. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be part of the alliance that fought against everything that was ever wrong and bad in this universe. Granted I might not have gotten my ass frozen and carted halfway across that same universe to be a decorative piece in Jabba The Hutt's front room but you take the bad with the good, just the way of life. Being part of the alliance was a life changing kind of thing, made me look on people and everything differently. Finally found something worth fighting for, not often you find that, not in those days anyways. If I hadn't ignored everything else, I never would have known what it was like to fight for something that was right and I would never have Leia or Luke in my life. I spent years learning how to take care of myself and I spent years getting used to trusting nobody but myself, my blaster and Chewbacca. Took a lot for me to get past all the protective measures and took a hell of a lot to trust anyone but I did and I gotta say it worked out. Sometimes people are worth taking a chance on, just glad it worked out as well as it did. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 234

Tags: challenges Subject: When in your life did you feel the most alone? Time: 02:47 pm Current Mood: melancholy

In my life, there's never been much opportunity to be alone. Always had someone at my side or someone trailing me for the bounty that just so happens to be on my head but as the saying goes, you can be in the middle of a crowd of people and still feel alone. I guess you could say I felt most alone during my childhood years. You see, everyone else had parents and they had people to pick them up when they fell over and scraped their knee, I didn't have this. Didn't have it because my parents abandoned me. Yes that's right, little Han Solo got abandoned by the people who were supposed to love him the most. My childhood wasn't spent the way it should have but it helped make me the man that I am today so I'm not going bitch and complain about it. But it would have been nice to have parents or had parents that actually wanted me and just maybe I wouldn't have wondered what was so wrong with me that they felt this need to get rid of me. Nothing says lonely like an abandoned kid on the street. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 197

Tags: challenges Subject: At what moment in your life did you feel most proud? Time: 04:11 pm Current Mood: happy

For a man like me? There aren't many moments when you feel proud because my life isn't about that, I've done things that have been less than honest and I've hurt people, nothing to be proud of but required in order to survive. But I guess if I had to choose just one moment, it would have to be when the Rebels finally triumphed over the Empire. Just knowing that there wasn't that much evil in the world and I had been involved with it was enough to make me grin from ear to ear. Never thought I'd be the kind of man to fight for a cause but funny how certain people can change your mind and your way of life. I was really proud that after everything, we won. The Rebels won and the Galaxy was safe and free. I came away with friends and a woman I would never want to be without. One of my proudest moments would definitely be when the war ended and we could truly experience freedom. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 174

I don't suppose C-3PO counts as a famous personality, right? But he is pretty famous, we all are. Especially after saving the galaxy and all so yeah, I'd definitely smack C-3PO in the head with a large trout. The droid points out the obvious and he's constantly there saying what should or shouldn't be done and most of the time he's wrong. He also has this annoying habit of talking at just the wrong time and also has a cowardly streak that runs a mile long, droid could do with a good smacking with a fish. I think it might be good for him, might do his personality wonders, might get whatever stick was forced up his backside, out? One could hope, right? Anyways, I do think he would benefit from a good smacking with a large trout but I'm sure he'd complain a lot because he enjoys doing that. Though I would enjoy laughing at his expense so he's definitely a good candidate for a smacking with a large trout. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 171

Tags: challenges Subject: Write a ficlet on the theme of "trust." Time: 04:36 pm Current Mood: pleased

Han knows trust like no other man alive, he has good friends and a loving family. He trusts in many things and can't help but wonder when he began to trust, when this cynical smuggler began to believe in other people and in a cause that wasn't about saving your neck. It's a startling thought when you realise that you've started feeling something you hadn't been aware of feeling but Han isn't disappointed by this sudden revelation. He can almost pinpoint when it started, when he started letting people into his life and into his heart. It had been around the time when he had met Luke and met Leia, the brother and sister duo had changed Han's mind on many things and on people in general. He also knows that without a shadow of a doubt that they care about him, they wouldn't have traveled halfway across the freaking universe to get him out of Jabba The Hutt's home if they hadn't. His trust in Leia's love had been the one thing that had sustained Han through the freezing process and had been the last thing to go through his mind before his reality changed and he had become a permanent fixture on Jabba's wall. There's only been one person or rather Wookiee that Han has trusted explicitly and without question, that Wookiee is Chewy. Han trusts Chewy like no other and despite their arguments, the two are the best of friends. As close as two guys can get and Han wouldn't trade this for the world. Trust is a two way street, Han Solo knows this and he's happy he's finally learning how to walk down that street. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 280

Tags: roleplay Subject: [RP Thread : Locked To Star War Muses Only] Time: 12:59 am Current Mood: peaceful

Han Solo cursed as the conduit he happened to be working on just happened to explode. His face was now covered in grease and he was forced to spit that same grease out of his mouth. He now aimed his anger at his co-pilot, the same co-pilot who was meant to have fixed that conduit a week or so ago. He really got nowhere with that and simply spent his time exchanging swear words with the Wookiee he had spent most of his life with until a flying wrench caused Han to shut up. Chewy obviously wasn't in the mood but the cocky Pilot couldn't help but get in the last word and smirked as Chewy went silent. He was currently perched atop of the Millenium Falcon, his tools lay around him and his blaster pistol was never very far away. These may be times of peace but Han still had enemies and he wasn't ready to give up his gun -- not just yet. He reached out for a cloth and pushed it across his face to remove the grease that covered his skin. His mouth tasted digusting and he was going to need a shower before he headed back inside. Leia would pitch a fit if he tried walking through the house looking the way he did. He would leave footprints all over the kitchen floor but the thought was rather tempting. The man chuckled softly before he simply rested back on his palms and turned his gaze skywards. He could remember his childhood just like it was yesterday, it hadn't been easy but he had always had dreams. Dreams of escaping the place that he was stuck with and reaching into space. And he had achieved that dream, he was one of the best Pilots around and he had lived so many adventures and was still living them. A smile lit up his face and caused his eyes to glitter, Han Solo was a man of great depth. Just took the right person to see it.

Tags: challenges Subject: What is your most treasured possession and why? Time: 02:44 pm Current Mood: mellow

Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind, my most treasured possession is the Millennium Falcon. And my reasoning behind this is all too clear, she's a beautiful ship and she's gotten me out of more scrapes than I can count. She's easy to handle, graceful in flight and she's got character. She and I, we've been together for a very long time and she's the best kind of ship a guy like me could ask for. She has never let me down, not once, in all our time together. She's been a constant and I know her like the back of my hand. Every square inch of her hull is memorised and catalogued in the back of my mind. I know what makes her tick, I know what pisses her off and best of all, I know how to fix her. If anyone has any problems with the Millennium Falcon then they have problems with me. She and I, we're more than pilot and ship, we're friends. We have an understanding and I don't take kindly to people insulting the people or things I care about. I'm sure for all those people who know me best -- this answer won't surprise them. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 204

Something irresponsible or something bad that has absolutely no consequence? Man, there are way too many things I can think of. Does it have to be current? Or can it be something you always wanted to do but never got the chance or didn't have the balls? Something about being attached to your hind at the time... I'm going to go for something in the past, I would definitely use that one chance to give Darth Vader one huge wedgie! Immature I hear you say but you have to admit, it would be fun. There was always a small part of me that wanted to be infantile and to bring him down to that level. I would also be able to take a certain amount of satisfaction in my actions but it would bring up the 'does he wear underwear' question which is enough to scar me for life -- really it is.

Tags: challenges Subject: What is so important to you that without it, life would not be worth living? Why? Time: 06:32 pm Current Mood: aggravated

This one's real simple. Freedom. I couldn't live without it because it makes me who I am, without freedom, I couldn't be the person that I am. I've never been one for being restrained and I've never been very good when caged in. I need to be free because if I'm not, I can guarantee I'd go crazy. Maybe that's one of the reasons I helped the Rebels fight against the Empire, I knew that their cause was worth my neck. The Empire was all about control and enforcing things that people didn't want; the Rebels were about fighting for what you believed in and ensuring your freedom. My freedom is essential to my sanity, I need to be able to fly and I need to be able to explore the stars because if I can't, I won't be Han Solo. I'll be some other person and I happen to like who I am because I know who I am and what makes me this way. I never want to live in a world where a person is not free to do as they want.

Tags: challenges Subject: What's the scariest thing that's ever happened to you? Time: 03:17 pm Current Mood: numb

A lot of scary things have happened to me but the scariest one out of them all? It's gotta be the carbon freezing courtesy of Darth Vader. I just love being a guinea pig, no, really I do. Not like he knew I was going to survive or even how long it would last but no, just stuck me into the vat and gave the okay to start the machine. A lot of things went through my mind, most of them about Leia and that kiss. Also seeing that look in Chewy's eyes made me realise that this might be the last time I see him alive. The last time I could crack a joke, smile or tease him. Been with him for as long as I can remember and the idea that I might not see him again made me realise that this time was for real. There was no way I was getting out of it; there was no quick talking that I could do. This was it, my last trip. Real scary when you realise you might die and you've got a ton of things left unfinished. Things you've been meaning to do but never had the time or if you did have the time, couldn't be bothered to do. And it didn't help I knew where I was going, right back to Jabba The Hutt himself.

Tags: challenges Subject: Switching Opinions Time: 01:55 pm Current Mood: awake

I wouldn't because if I was to change one person's mind about something, I'd be changing how everything is. People should be allowed to feel however they want to feel about anything, we're individuals after all. I'm allowed to make my own choices and I'm allowed to feel my own way about things so if I was to change how one person felt about anything, I'd be something of a hypocrite. I know people make stupid choices because they feel a certain way about things but at the end of the day, it's their stupid choice to make. I can give them advice and try to stop them from making that stupid choice but if a person wants to do something--they're going to do regardless of what I say. And sometimes, what seems like the wrong way to feel about things is actually the right way for them to be. It's all about the individual involved. I can't read minds nor would I want to but people should be allowed to feel however they want to feel about anyone and anything. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 182

Tags: challenges Subject: Beautiful Time: 04:23 pm Current Mood: content

Han Solo finds himself sat in the cock pit of the Millennium Falcon as he considered what he thought was beautiful. Chewy was in the back making some noise about the Hyperdrive to which he got a," Okay okay Chewy, we'll get a new part when we hit the next planet!" from Han Solo and this got him a growl from Chewy not to mention a few insults which Han winced to and did his best to ignore. He shoved a hand through his dark hair as his thoughts returned to his previous thought. What was beautiful? Leia was beautiful, anyone could see that and Han had seen it the first moment he had laid eyes on her. Her eyes had this way of lighting up a room and her smile, not that smirk she usually gave him but her smile, it had this way of leaving him breathless. Yeah, Leia was beautiful but so were the stars ultimately those would always be Han's first love. His eyes tracked to the black space that surrounded him and watched as the pale stars glistened faintly. He smiled slowly; the stars had always fascinated him. Even as a kid, he could remember looking up and following every path of stars with his eyes wondering what was up there and vowing to himself that he would get himself up there one day. A young boy's dreams of being something more was beautiful and a young man's view of the world now was even better. He had come so far and achieved so much, he was with the things he loved and his world was full of beauty and he wanted to experience as much of it as he could. The Millennium Falcon was beautiful; it kept on going and took Han from planet to planet. It was elegant in flight and wonderful to handle. Han Solo was a lucky man because everywhere he looked he saw beauty. Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 324

Can't say that I've given my own happily ever after much thought, there's never been any need to because I'm pretty happy as I am. I have a ship, great friends and a woman I love, what more could a guy ask for? I'm not generally into perfection because in my opinion, perfection is boring and at the end of the day, isn't happily ever after all about perfection? Life is flawed, we as people are flawed and I don't know if I really care about happily ever after because it seems so definite, there's no opening for change. And life without change is boring, life becomes stagnant. I live for excitement and I enjoy the thrill of not knowing what's coming next. I can't do stagnant, I get bored and a bored Han Solo is not good for anyone. Just ask Chewy. So yeah, I don't think I have an apt description of my happily ever after because I don't think I want one and if I were to get one? I wouldn't know what to do with it or myself for that matter. Happily ever after's are for people like Luke. He's just the kind of guy who would want to settle down and live happily ever. I just don't foresee a happily ever after in my future. I live in the present and that's never going to change, enough of this looking ahead because what's wrong with enjoying what you have now? These people and their constant obsession with the future, they really need to learn to kick back and take life as it comes. Carpe Diem Muse: Han Solo Fandom: Star Wars Word Count: 270
