Kylo Ren/Ben Solo Trash @50shadesofren - Tumblr Blog

Kylo Ren/Ben Solo Trash turned 9 today! Since starting this blog I’ve been lucky enough to meet Adam Driver twice, including last month when I got to see him in his play Hold On to Me Darling.

the belonging you seek is not behind you— it is ahead.

This kiss is perfect because -

1.) The way Rey hesitates, after years alone, it takes her a moment to work up the courage for her first kiss.

2.) The way Ben doesn’t hesitate, the way he waits patiently for her to work up the courage and then the moment she is ready, he reaches out and holds her in a deep embrace.

3.) THE SMILES. Need I say more, we have literally never seen Ben or Rey this happy in their entire lives.

4.) Rey’s hand. The way she strokes Ben’s face and hair like he’s precious and worth savoring.

This kiss is more likely than not the first for both of them, it’s tender and hopeful and pure. They are both almost child-like in their affection. This is also easily the most built-up to kiss in all of Star Wars, their intimacy is far far beyond Anidala or Hanleia who both had major communication problems and ultimately were destructive. Reylo is easily the most intimate and selfless and the most healing Star Wars relationship.

I will cherish this forever. It is now known that Ben and Rey shared the single most beautiful kiss in the entire series and that Ben gave his very life essence to Rey because his love is that absolute and that selfless. (I fucking dare you to call him an abuser now, I DARE you!) Their love is everything and it lives on in the force and in our hearts.

Here’s what I love about this kiss:

The whole movie, the whole trilogy, Kylo has been asking Rey for something. Asking for her allegiance, her companionship, her understanding, her growth.

But Ben. Ben asks nothing from her. Ben only gives. He gives her his LIFE. And he doesn’t go in for a kiss, or anything else. For him, it’s enough just to look at her; for her to be alive.

That’s love. Giving. And it’s perfectly, beautifully illustrated here.

Y’all we were so close to a forehead touch after that kiss and I feel robbed

it’s a “I love you” kiss followed by a “I know” smile.

and I am also perfectly fond of the moment right after she ends the kiss, when he is still under her spell. He has this far away dreamy like eyes look.

“Ben asks nothing from her. Only gives.” 😔😔

This is exactly what Lucas wanted to convey… Love is kind. Love is giving. Love is not hurried. It’s not possessive or something you can control. You don’t keep it safe with fear or manipulation. You honor it, more than your own selfish needs and if you die for that, then it was a life worth living and a love worthy enough to stand the test of time. We will all still be talking about the love that Ben has for Rey for decades. That is the true value in good writing. When the message and the scenes and the characters come together so completely that it haunts you forever.
