Diaries of a Reylo Shipper

Scene/book/fanfic reactions, opinions, and confessions from a self-professed reylo shipper.

May the 4th be with you!

Slow burn but it's written by an impatient person

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

This doesn't affect the speed of the developing relationship at all, but does make for a very passive aggressive narrator.

[diariesofareyloshipper]

I know I have read at least three Reylo fics where Rose et al. Fit the bill of the passive aggressive narrators who want their dumb friends to just figure out they're in love already.

Slowrobot.com did me a joy tonight. And now I share it with you. . .

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

[mommacomms]

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[maps-and-elvis-and-zelda-n-shit]

I was getting a political compass vibe too

[your-uncle-dave]

tag urself im man door hand hook car gun

[politicalcompassmemes]

This works better than I thought it would.

[astral-ghoul-deactivated2025100]

[moved-to-ancient-gaylienz]

well i added my contribution : )

why—

[fandersunite]

IM SCREAMING

[robynspreciousnest]

This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.

[operahousebookworm]

“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”

[sword-and-nightingale]

One does not simply explain this

[sword-and-nightingale]

Edit:

Another freaking layer!!!

[shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey]

16 motherfucking layers

[catbxy]

In the future someone’s going to ask me to explain this and I’m going to be at a loss.jpg for words

[randomslasher]

I’m not reblogging this because I want to. I’m reblogging this because sometimes you’re a witness to history whether you want to be or not, and you have to embrace that. 

[tea-withnofixinsplease]

GUYS STOP!! IF WE CONTINUE ON THIS ROAD, THE MEME WILL BECOME TOO POWERFUL!

[whatthefuckdoesthatevenmeanbooth]

WHERES THE PICTURE OF OBIWAN THROWING MONEY AT POLE DANCING ANAKIN?!

[earthboundjedi]

I FOUND IT

[forcearama]

You know, I know the type of people who follow me on tumblr well enough to know that all of you deviants have no doubt seen Pole-Dancing Anakin something like 217 trillion times now, but honestly? This is still such an incredibly well-done Photoshop and it is SO legitimately, truly funny and perfect (and frankly, the original photo is like, BARELY less suggestive than this doctored version which somehow makes it even funnier,) that I feel compelled to share it regardless.

Day 6 : 7 Swans a Swimming - a week in the life of Reylo

According to canon:

Days 1-7: Rey. Alone. The grief is strong with this one.

But who needs canon when we have

Headcanons

Daily -

Force training for both

Rey and Ben trying a new food together

Gardening together

Mon/Wed/Fri.

Rey takes classes to improve her handwritting skills - she wants to surprise Ben with a note written in peefect Calligraphy for his Birthday

Ben secretly watches reality shows on the holonet because Snoke never let him indulge in stupid TV shows.

Tues/Thurs.

Rey teaches locals how to repair their droids by using salvaged materials so they can save money

Ben makes supper so that when she gets home they can relax and play games together.

Saturdays - anything goes, but it usually involves plenty of friends dropping in to see Rey and enjoy Ben's cooking

Sundays - quiet days for reading together and enjoying their garden hammocks.

Day 4: The 9 Ladies Dancing = 9 gifs that portray how you feel about your ship using memes related to the ship or franchise

1. How I feel their love story was treated:

2. How all of us felt as the antis left theatres - despite our own pain...

3. Obligatory dancing meme:

4. All the Reylos defending our ship for the last few years...

5. How it felt to get our redemption arc...

6. I think this one speaks for itself...

7. How I look for new Reylo fics...

8. Everytime my parents bring up the "they should have been twins not lovers"...

9. When I realize how many (too many) fanfics are open in tabs on my phone...

[olivianastazia]

Watching this election like, “Hey, it’s okay. I know how this ends.” #SG1 #gaters #trumpkinsey #crazyhowsimilartheyare

[thefemalewargamer]

So this was posted like 2 years ago on another blog. Trump just announced a space branch of the military… Oh. My. Word.

[diariesofareyloshipper]

2016. 2018. 2020.

Lord, this post keeps getting worse.

Time to rewatch Stargate and see what happens next.

Shipmas Countdown 2020

Day 3: 10 Lords a Leaping - 10 conclusions I could leap to about my ship (headcanons too!)

1. They obviously have cutesy secret nicknames for each other.

2. Rey dropped the bottom two hair buns so that Ben could hold the back of her head easier.

3. Their force bond existed their whole lives - maybe why Rey fantasizes about a Republic family.

4. Ben finds space cold like Grandpa Vader - which is why he wears quilted clothes like a soft boi - but Rey always found Jakku WAY too hot and is secretly an ICE QUEEN.

5. They secretly talk about ships they have in the Republic/First Order via Forcebond.

6. They would become hoarders if they lived together as Mr. I-have-relics-galore & Ms. Scavenge-the-good-stuff.

7. When Rey leaped to the Millennium falcon (in TROS), Ben was lowkey like:

8. Ben would totally write ALL the love notes in calligraphy and secretly deliver them via Forcebond.

9. Kylo is always extra angry because Snoke won't let him have a cat OR scented candles. And then, when he tries to cancel Rey...

10. Kylo struggled with the darkness because he grew up with THIS nightmare...

Which is why snoke chooses this outfit...

[diariesofareyloshipper]

Saw this on Facebook earlier... And well...

Obviously, the poster has never been on Ao3...

[nabenrrie]
