I have never been interested in watching Solo because I have assumed it's all about Han and just didn't care. But that preview image of your video alone made me perk up. I've watched the video and now I'm queuing up Solo, cause damn, I don't know Qi'ra at all, but she's so much my type she might as well have been cast just for me, lmao (yes, I'm shallow, I'm watching things for the pretty women. I wish someone had shown me a picture of her earlier, lmao).

Also, the video is amazing! I have no idea what's going on, but it hits all the right buttons for me. Great work!

ETA: I have now been told that this is Daenerys' actress, which I did not know (change someone's hair and make up, I will not recognize them, even when I know them very well). It's on brand though, cause I did watch Game of Thrones for her as well, lmao (though I stopped after a few episodes because it was too brutal and bloody for my tastes).

It wasn't a huge hit, but I really liked Solo. It was Han's backstory, but it also featured some great ladies like Qi'ra, Val, and Enfys Nest. Qi'ra gets more screentime than the other two women (and Han gets the most screentime for obvious reasons).

And I watched all of Game of Thrones and the violence, particularly towards women, continued throughout the series. I don't blame you for skipping it.

I watched Solo now, lol. Nothing will make me watch things faster than a pretty woman who's exactly my type. I really liked it, despite 90% of it being the sausagefest I expected. But Qi'ra was amazing and I did like Enfys Nest and Val as well, despite getting as little screentime as they did. I came away shipping Qi'ra and Enfys Nest, of course, they stand next to each other in one scene after all, lmao.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it!

LOL!
I recall a good amount of femslash fic surrounding Enfys Nest. I'll have to go and dig some up for you!
