some things I totally called about Baze and Chirrut months ago that were confirmed by the Guardians of the Whills book:
Baze is such a big thicc strong boy (rucka was ADAMANT about this, I think he has a kink) that bystanders get shook. and he can do parkour
Chirrut has been known to bump off walls like a roomba
A major reason they stay together is because they both have the same dumb sense of humour and find each other hilarious when nobody else does. Meme couple
rucka def has a kink #confirmed
OKAY BUT WHAT ABOUT:
–Baze has, at at least one confirmed point in his life, gotten stuck in a door because the cord of his gun got caught on something. Which is like…phone headphones only turned up to eleven.
–Baze legit mentally complaining about his knees and how old he is while doing parkour.
–his laugh is a roll for intimidation that works on everyone but Chirrut. Chirrut only becomes more powerful. And when people stare at him laughing he laughs louder and makes uncomfortable eye contact. (Baze, PLEASE.)
–He’s a big strong boi who does parkour who also throws a veritable FIT because he can’t find anything in the house to cook for his husband except tea he hates. So he’s a big strong thicc housewaifu.
–Seriously just….that entire sequence where Baze comes home and throws off his armor and starts stomping around angrily looking for something to cook for Chirrut.
–Chirrut apparently bumps off of walls like a roomba and claims he does it DELIBERATELY.
–Chirrut on the other hand has also been shoved into an alleyway and apparently hasn’t been able to get out for at least five minutes while the hubs goes and runs stormtrooper hide and seek.
–Chirrut in the pilot seat of a speeder offering to drive.
–Chirrut described as grinning almost every single damn time Baze opens his mouth even if it’s for a single syllable.
–Baze coming home all excited with his new gun and immediately mood-changing when he finds out Chirrut has guests and is SERVING THEM TEA.
–They both at some point eat actual worms and complain, not because they’re worms, but because the worms haven’t been cleaned properly and Baze with his kind of smug housewife undercurrent.
–“Excuse me. I need to have a word with him alone.”
The room empties.
They don’t have to actually say anything.–The two bedrolls next to one another in their SHARED HOUSE.
Honestly, while we predicted a few things, Rucka kind of upped some of them to eleven and it’s the most GLORIOUS thing and I have been blessed by all of them.
Long live the meme couple.
oh my god the kitchen hissy fit and the “honey I’m home~~~ with a new gun~~!” bits are some of my favourites
it’s a literary masterpiece. give rucka a nobel prize
