Oh christ, I am so sorry you lived through that, Nonnie. All my love and respect to you. You are strong to have come through that. I have not been in such a relationship, but I have been there for people who have. I can understand why such a concept raises serious alarm bells for you.
When it comes to this ship, I honestly? Didn’t know that there were official ages. Are these the actor’s ages? IDK, I am so not across this. I truly thought that Finn and Rey were in their 20s, and Poe in his early 30′s. Daisy Ridley looks like she’s in her 20s, to me.
I have mentioned before that my fave iteration of this OT3 is with ace!rey in a queerplatonic relationship with Finn and Poe – with adventures and new jedi training and rebel business and belonging and emotional support and cooking with real food and OMFG WHAT IS THIS SNOW AND RAIN STUFF WOOOOW. I truly believe, too, from what we have seen of the characters, that neither Rey or Finn would allow the oldest member of the triad to coerce or manipulate them. I also think that Rey is very very capable of looking out for herself.
(bear in mind that the above is referring to ‘what we have seen of the characters’ – bc there is a lot more “fun” to come from these films, I am sure.)
I do sympathise with your feelings though. I can only suggest you block the tag ‘jedistormpilot’ as I know I am far from the only person who has thought, ‘they’re SO CUTE’.
Imagine your OT3 avidly defending their polyamorous relationship against polyphobic idiots. Person A is calmly trying to explain how it works, while person B tries to keep person C from punching said idiots in the face.

It’s nearly 3 years since I (very nervously!) dipped my toe into the LOTR fandom! I’ve been through so many huge life changes, good and bad, with you all: my job, my child, my house, everything. This is by-and-large the most creative, supportive and kind fandom I’ve ever been a part of. I can’t believe you’re all following a nerd like me!!

You can hear me singing and check out some of my compositions here, here and here, and here is my AO3 profile if you wish to check out some of my writing!
*I can write for these fandoms with some confidence: Avengers, LOTR/The Hobbit, HTTYD, Star Wars: TFA, Discworld, Doctor Who… and I can muddle through others with a bit of research! I do have some absolute NOTPs and characterisations I will not write (such as Evil!Dain Ironfoot), but I am open to most pairings otherwise. Also I will not write gore, vore, mpreg, incest or rape/non-con. Other kinks subject to negotiation, though!
