Anti-reylos on Tumblr:

Meanwhile the official TROS Marketing:

Describe Rey and Kylo’s relationship in three words: “Desperate” (J.J. Abrams), “Connected” (Daisy Ridley), “Very, very complicated” (Kathleen Kennedy)

We’ve tried to pick up that complicated relationship that really has been present ever since the interrogation in Episode VII. When Ren takes off his mask, there’s a nakedness about him with Rey that he doesn’t express to anyone else. Rian developed that in fascinating ways and we’ve been able to develop it even further  (Chris Terrio, co-screenwritter of TROS)

I know what the fans want, they want to see the dynamics between Rey and Kylo. I’m glad J.J. was on the same exact page. (John Boyega)

Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver discuss the intergalactic will they/won’t they. (…)  Will Kylo Ren and Rey reforge their own connection? And, if they do, will it be love or simply friendship that unites them? The answer, Driver says, is incredibly complicated: “I don’t think it’s any one thing. The strength in what Rian [Johnson] wrote and what J.J. [Abrams] wrote is it’s never all one thing.” (Vanity Fair - Star Wars: The Truth About Kylo Ren and Rey’s Connection)

Vanity Fair:

The Guardian:

Empire Magazine:

Spanish “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” official synopsis: Ninth and last movie of Star Wars, Rey and Kylo will have their last clash, in spite of their obvious feelings for each other, they have still doubts which path they should follow

It’s been quite a journey. Since the first issue, the STAR WARS cinematic universe has lost one Supreme Leader Snoke, gained one Donnie Yen, and managed to regain a Darth Maul. Who knows what will have changed in another four years? Maybe all the Force Ghost characters will get together for a wild adventure of their own. Maybe Rey and Kylo will have twins. Maybe Chewbacca will finally get to eat his roasted Porg in peace. (Birth.Movies.Death. STAR WARS IX Issue, Letter From The Editor by Evan Saathoff)

Abrams sees [Rey and Kylo] as two halves of the same coin. “Even when they’re not together they still haunt each other in a way — they know they are each other’s unresolved business”. (J.J. Abrams for Entertainment Weekly)

When you meet under extreme circumstances like Rey and Finn, it binds you together. They hang onto each other. But romance? I‘d say Finn has an eye on someone else; same goes for Rey. I stand with it: Those two are just good friends. (John Boyega)

The central point of TROS will be the ambiguous relationship between Rey and Kylo. It will remain the heart of the story of the trilogy and JJ honors it the best he can. (SFX Magazine)

I really appreciate the relationship between Rey and Kylo, and what writers have managed to do with it, this kind of love/hate relationship. They were attracted to each other in spite of their will… (Daisy Ridley, S.F.X. France)

Rey doesn’t give up on Kylo. She firmly believes that he could still turn. That’s a nice message: seeing the good in people, even when they have done bad things. And in this movie, everyone counts. No one alone can make a difference, it’s everyone—as a team. (Daisy Ridley)

Kylo won’t put on a shirt; Kylo was kind of a flirt. (Daisy Ridley on  Fallon Tonight)

author update

Hello, Tumblr void! It's me, your not-so favorite author who keeps updating late because life keeps getting in the way. I've still been getting messages over my stories, especially The World In Its Dark Grace, so thank you for still believing they're alive! And they are, it's just that life is really getting in the way.

(!! cw in this paragraph, sensitive stuff) But what's been keeping me away from writing is this depressive episode in my life brought by my ex-boyfriend killing himself. I bear a lot of guilt and it's been hard. This situation has made it difficult to revisit Dark Grace because... Well, yeah. I'm not completely functional, not working or doing much in my life these days, but I have been seeing a therapist to try to move on from it. I did relapse earlier in the month and attempted suicide the day before my birthday. Me being here right now means I'm okay, and I'm lucky enough to have people supportive of my recovery.

Anyway, with there being less than two months till the release of TROS, I really want to go back to my goal of finishing as much of Dark Grace as I can before the year ends. I saw that RFFA is hosting an event for finishing fics in the spirit of NaNoWriMo and I'm considering joining that. Not completely sure because I'm still suffering a lot of anxiety, but I do want to try.

Hopefully I do get to write! I'm really rusty since my mind's just been full of trauma lol. I'm not on Tumblr as often as I was years ago, but you can follow me on Twitter @mimilovesmoo and please send me love and support my way to get me going. Please cheer for me as I try to get back into writing! 🖤

My support links are still here (bc therapy is expensive af): Ko-fi / Paypal

Why is the Force connecting us, you and I?

[lordsofthesithpodcast-blog]

First off, just wanted to say I love you ladies ♥️ your discussions were always my favorite part of SWC and I'm really enjoying your new podcast. Secondly, I'm curious what some of your favorite Reylo fan fics are (just assuming you read them😂)? Any recs, or any that come close to either of your predictions for IX?

Dear Anon, thank you for your kind words and sorry for the delay in answering your ask! 

Neither Denise nor Lee have read much Star Wars fanfiction, and our resident expert on the matter, Mary, had been on short break due to some RL difficulties of the stolen phone variety. :(

But she is back, yay! Here is her reply, with some links: 

Mary here! As the avid fanfiction reader of the group, let me start by saying there are so many wonderful Reylo fics out there! 

But my Top 5 are:5) The World In Its Dark Grace by @kaathiiee4) She Who Would be Queen by @mygrandmathinksimsassy  3) Respite by @waterlilyrose2) Play to Win by @commandercait1) landscape with a blur of conquerors by @kylorenvevo

Lee’s favorite fic that is also one of the only Star Wars fics that she’s read but she loved it so much that she has re-read it several times over the years and talks to everyone about it:  i saw you in the wild (you were nervous, you were furious, you were very sure-footed) by @kylorenvevo.

If you guys are interested in this topic, check out this podcast episode where Mary discusses these recs, posted under @sixdegreesofkyloren. Hopefully you’ll find some new favorites in that list. <3

If anyone has other recs please share them! 

[kaathiiee]

A bit late, but thank you so much for recommending my story! Especially getting there on that list with those other stories is intimidating wahaha but it makes me aspire to write better till I deserve to be there. <3

[kaathiiee]

Hi tumblr its been so long how have you guys been

[kaathiiee]

I just read your fanfic and noticed you’ve been working on it since 2016. Are you impressed with yourself that you got ‘kylo kills snoke’ right two years in advance?

oh, you’re right. haha i didn’t even think about that, thanks for pointing out! now if there’s any other of my plot points that i want to see in canon, it’s rey and kylo getting together properly. :p
