Meme time!

I am going to see Avengers again!  knitress and econopodder are Avengers virgins so I'm excited and we WILL stay to the Very Last Scene.  You know the one, which I've so wanted to write but I figure there's more Shwarma fic at this point than Steve/Tony first time fic.  Also I've been to Budapest!  

There's been some interesting meta going about readers, writers, reviewers, entitlement, and concrit in lady_songsmith 's journal on Fandom Economy.

Anyway, then edenfalling presented this meme so tag, you're it!


1. Pick a pairing or a character
2. Ask me my particular headcanon regarding something about them
3. Post to your journal to share your own headcanon!

(And if you want to include OCs from fic and such, bring it on!)

This is possibly something that has an actual canon, but I don't know what it is so I'd be intrigued to hear yours if you have one.

Jacen and Jaina, their earliest impressions of formal education.

Jacen and Jaina's early education I do know something about as that was first dealt with in the abysmal Jedi Academy trilogy, back in the days when I read Star Wars EU. I think Jacen remembers a continuing frustration -- see, want, get, with what he wants always being out of reach. He is always trying to reach out with the Force to get what he wants, always testing the Force, always experimenting with what he can and cannot do and it drives everyone crazy. He also learns to read at a very, very early age. Jaina laughs at him because really if he wants to read the stories on Mommy's data reader when he should be napping, he should just walk over, pull a chair over to the shelf, climb it, and get the data reader rather than trying to bring it to him.

Jaina is her father's daughter. She likes blocks and building things and she's got all these fancy and expensive electronic toys, but Han recognizes something else and he gives her sets of stacking cups and a work bench with tools where she learns you can't put round things into square holes no matter how hard you pound unless the round thing is a lot smaller than the square hole. Chewie sees it too and comes back a week later with a brightly colored board with long (firmly affixed) strings that make patterns when they are put in the right holes. Leia worries, at first about choking hazards, but Han says he'll watch Jaina as she carefully puts the strings in the holes. The playboard looks an awful lot like a circuit panel on the Falcon.

Ohhh, fantastic. I love it.

Almost my only familiarity with them comes from their years on Yavin 4 (I discovered that Grade 7 reading logs are much simpler if you work with a series) but I've wondered off and on since then what they might have been like when they were younger. This is perfect, thank you.
