Reylos I need everyone to listen to me right now.
I am not here to “fix” TROS for you or change your opinion but hear me out. I know we’re hurting. I am too. Believe me. This wasn’t something I “wanted” to see happen. All I’m asking is that you HEAR ME OUT because we literally got something in this film we have been asking for for four years now. Maybe this perspective can potentially help some of you. Because I know a lot of people are emotionally struggling.
Ben Solo did NOT die for nothing. He basically hobbled his way up to Rey and took her limp, lifeless body into his arms. He struggles so much, but it’s almost like he knows what has to happen. He goes in PLANNING to do this. He knows exactly what he needs to do and how because HE LOVES HER. The best part is, he doesn’t even know she loves him in return. He gives every last bit of life force he has left to her. When she wakes up, he’s happy. But also sad because he knows what’s going to happen. That changes. When Rey says his name, tenderly touches his face, and actually goes in for A KISS, what does our boy do? Something we’ve never once seen him do. He grins. It isn’t just a smile. It’s a toothy grin with dimples and even a soft, reliever chuckle. He. Is. HAPPY. This entire time he knows what is happening, yet he is happy. He WILLINGLY gave his life to this woman not even knowing if she loved him in return because he could not live a life without her. Then he finds out that she does love him. So you want my honest opinion? No. He did not die for nothing. He died to keep Rey safe. It’s beautiful. “Not fighting what we hate. SAVING WHAT WE LOVE.”
I would also like to add more to this. If you’re still not on board. Guys, Ben legitimately did what Anakin could not. HE. CHEATED. DEATH. TO SAVE. THE WOMAN. HE. LOVED. All of this was done in love!! This whole thing is reverse Anidala!!!
Now. Let’s move onto the scene later. I do not fully believe he’s “dead.” If you remember, Rey explains Force healing in a way of life force. Passing a bit of your own life on to another. He lives within her, guys. She will always feel and sense his presence. She will always know he’s still there because in ways, he’s now apart of her. In a much deeper and more connected way than they were before. He is living on through her, keeping her alive each and every day. Because apart of his life is within her.
I’ll admit, this wasn’t what I wanted to see happen. However, I don’t want to sit back and say everything was taken from us. Yes. I would have liked to see a bit more mourning. Is the movie perfect? No. It’s not. But I think what was done with Rey and Ben’s story is absolutely beautiful. Not to mention this movie literally made Reylo even canon to EVERYONE’S eyes. That, my friends. Is a victory.
Now, I sit here writing this with tears in my eyes. Yes. Goodbyes are hard. And yes. I did not want to see the one character I’ve been the most emotionally attached to ever die. BUT I will not allow myself to fully dislike or hate the very last work of this Saga that I’ve loved and held dear for so many years. I will not allow myself to hate something that could potentially have a beauty in it.
I will leave you all with one final thought that I think we all need to remember in this moment.
“NO ONE’S EVER REALLY GONE.”
If you heard of writer's block, get ready for reader's block. You want to read. You have time. You know what to read; how have a pile of books ready to be read. You cannot sit still and focus enough to do so or you can't even open the book.

my best OC is Brad Wayne, Bruce’s illegitimate biological child via a totally normal woman he had a fling with when he was younger and didn’t stay in touch with
Brad grew up a totally normal kid, went to college, joined a frat, and decided to get in touch with Bruce, who now has an awkward situation on his hands
now the other Batkids have to deal with fucking Brad Wayne, whose normalacy is absolutely insufferable... he tells Dick to try yoga and suggests that Tim will sleep better if he gets more exercise... Bruce goes out of town and Brad decides it’s time to throw a house party with his frat friends
he’s so good
All of Brad’s Bat-siblings are absolutely unprepared to deal with him. They can’t handle it. They can’t even hate him properly, even Damien, because he’s just... he’s not even... he’s just Some Guy™️!
They’re all braced for the inevitable reveal that he’s a villain, an imposter, or an interloper there to usurp the Wayne fortune or spy on Batman. They have all sorts of plans to foil his schemes and the only thing they’re not able to prepare for is the fact that he’s just. Brad. He’s not a bad guy, but he’s not a saint, either—his problems are just so mundane, so ordinary.
They TRY to understand what his life is like, but how are they supposed to relate to someone who doesn’t text back because he’s hungover or his phone died, not because he’s tied up in a death trap somewhere being menaced by someone in a Halloween costume?
No one’s ever tried to ritually sacrifice him before and it shows.
Does he know they are the batfam? Or does he just think it is so cool that his dad has adopted all these kids that needed a home?
Oh he has no idea. Brad didn’t grow up in Gotham and isn’t really familiar with its culture, so he thinks it’s an ordinary city with ordinary problems (presumably there’s still a concept of ‘ordinary’ in the DCU).
When someone tries to tell him he laughs it off. Maybe one of his friends asks him about the popular rumor that Bruce Wayne is Batman, but he’s never even contemplated the possibility. Later he’s trying to coax Dick into playing beer pong and loudly tells the story to party guests as a funny anecdote. He thinks the whole concept of Batman is hilarious. Maybe he makes up stories about seeing Batman to impress his family and make himself sound cool.
Eventually though some bad guy who wants a huge ransom is going to kidnap Brad. What happens then? Does Batman call in a favor to one of the other members of the Justice League or does Damien go out and rescue his brother and tell him he’s the most useless of all his brothers because he’s so ordinary? Because you know if anyone is going to blab it’s going to be Damien.
Brad gets kidnapped and Steph and/or Cass rescue him in costume.
Later, in Wayne Manor, he tells his family all about how the Batgirls were totally flirting with him and how he managed to take out a few of the bad guys all by himself.
Brad Wayne: “Hey, do you guys think Batman fucks? Like, you think he has ever gotten laid?”
Dick, stiffly: “Um. Yes. I think so.”
Brad: “Really? Guy sounds like a turbo-virgin to me. I mean, he fights crime in a fursuit! Come on!”
Tim: “I have it on reasonable authority that Batman fucks. Unfortunately.”
Steph: “Hey, Damian. Penny for your thoughts?”
Okay I know we always go on about Marvel’s uncanny casting ability.
But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:
Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth
would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity
was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained
occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)
does all his own stunts
lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages
you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away.
They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn
Can I just add a few things?
Would randomly give chocolates to the hobbits
According to John Rhys-Davis (aka Gimli), whenever you have a large cast, one or two actors will naturally become the leaders. Guess who ended up in that role.
Single-handedly convinced cast and crew to camp out to shoot a scene in the sunrise
Once hit a wild rabbit with his car by accident. Promptly stopped his car and went to see if the rabbit was dead, needed a vet or if the only merciful thing to do was to finish killing him. The rabbit was dead. Viggo realized he was hungry. So he took the rabbit, made a fire by the roadside and ate it.
According to cast and crew, sometimes you’d just see him disappear in the middle of the night and suddenly he’d come back with fish he’d caught
Had his sword with him at all times. Slept with once.
The best horse rider of the cast, hands down. Rides better than lots of pros, according to a horse trainer. Couldn’t bear to part with his horse at the end of the shooting, so he bough him. The next movie of his also involved horses, and he bought his horse in that one, too.
Knows how to survive in the wild. I’m not kidding.
Hand-stitched a few things in his costume for an authentic “I live away from civilization” Ranger feel. Also told the weapons department to make him a small bow because “Aragorn lives in the wild, he needs a hunting bow, or he’ll starve to death” - literally nobody else had thought about that. Also requested a small stone to sharpen his sword. Suggested that Aragorn would take Boromir’s arm guards after his death.
Speaking of hand-stitching, once he was touring Japan with a reporter for an article. Walked into a store, took a tshirt, bought it, cut off the print and hand-stitched it into the hat he was wearing. The reporter was going “?????????” the entire time.
Peter Jackson literally sometimes called him Aragorn by accident
Viggo is a treasure
So I just need to talk about something I just realized rewatching Pirates of the Caribbean
So you know the beginning of the series when we first meet the Swann household and Will Turner as Will delivers the sword Governor Swann had comissioned for Norrington?
Well as we are clearly told, Will made that sword and not his master. Norrington’s sword was made by William Turner. Then in the second film, we meet Cutler Beckett and as he is arresting Elizabeth and Will on their wedding day, he mentions Norrington is no longer around and reveals that he himself is the new owner of Norrington’s sword. Okay, yeah, still not THAT hard to miss, right?
So the films go on and we eventually get to the third film, when Norrington has now returned to the East India Trading Company and is Admiral on the Dutchman. He then sets Elizabeth and her crew free, where he is promptly caught by Bootstrap and murdered by Davy Jones. Davy Jones then picks up Norrington’s sword and mutters “nice sword!” before taking it and leaving Norrington’s body behind.
So now the sword Will Turner made passed from Norrington > Cutler Beckett > Norrington > Davy Jones
Well…
Davy Jones then murders Will Turner by stabbing him through the heart with his sword. A sword Will Turner knows very well.
Because Will Turner made it.
Will Turner made the sword that would kill him and eventually bind him to The Flying Dutchman.
I feel like we just witnessed the story of a sword with people around it fighting for years and dramatic events around. this. sword.
I really wish there was an option on those Customer Service Surveys that says specifically, “The representative I spoke to was lovely and helpful and deserves all of the raises but I think that you, as a corporation, should die in a fire.”
hey as somebody who works in one of those companies that sends out those surveys, never, NEVER mention how much you hate the company in them. just talk about the representative. then, go to the company’s social media page and blast your bad reviews there
those surveys decide our pay, they decide whether we get bonuses or not, they decide if we get to keep our jobs or not. i’ve read transcripts on surveys where it’s has been praising the representative but mentioned one bad thing about the company. that fell to the representative because they should have been enough to sway the customers opinion.
Hey just to add on, if you liked the representative, and the survey is asking for opinions on a scale of 0-10… please give the rep 10′s across the board. Don’t try to be thoughtful and detailed and put down a 7 or an 8 or a 9. A lot of times anything below a 9 or 10 counts as a zero (no, for real) and guess who it comes back to? That’s right, the customer service rep.
At my job anything below a 10 is zero and our store is graded on our survey % so if anyone even puts 9s across the board it’s a 0 in the end and heavily brings down our stores score- which can lead to firings,
corporations: more horrible than i thought
Reiterate: Always score those surveys as 10s. Blast the company itself on social media.
So basically they don’t tell you that you’re fucking people over. Once again corporations being slimey as fuck.
Please give us 10s I work so hard.
Corporate tracks our survey results CONSTANTLY (we get new totals daily, weekly, by quarter, by period, and by year), and we are expected to constantly improve - if we do well one day we’re expected to do BETTER next week, maintaining the same score counts against us. Anything under a 9 counts against us as a 0 score, and we need MANY 9s or 10s to counteract one 0 and even it out (like last I looked I literally have a 50% at work, and I have one 8 and four or five 10s - If my total score is under an 82% I basically fail). The way it’s calculated is BOGUS.
We also change in our program the associate responsible for survey scores every couple hours, so if I’m set to be working the sales floor for surveys, and I’m helping someone, and a customer comes in, never interacts with me, leaves a “bad” survey score, and even if they MENTION ANOTHER ASSOCIATE BY NAME in their survey, it still counts against me, because during those hours it was my job to ensure the store got good scores. We’ve gotten back surveys where the customer mentions A DIFFERENT FUCKING STORE. MULTIPLE TIMES (one was a different location of my same store, one was our competitor!! That’s a 20 minute drive from us!! WTF!!!) and they STILL count against us. No take-backs, no exceptions. Even if you give a 5 then write in the comments how great we were bla bla bla (yeah this happens and Idk why?), still counts as a 5. I’ve had people give me a 0 for our store not carrying the brand MADE BY OUR COMPETITOR. It’s just……..ugh.
If the score gets below an 80% for the whole store? The store manager has to work every single weekend until it’s fixed (my store manager is a sweetheart doing his best, he doesn’t deserve this - unlike I’m sure some other managers who may).
Our raises are tied to these scores.
Whether we are retained as associates are tied to these scores.
Our hours are ties to these scores.
Please, I’m just so tired, please give me a 10 I will kiss you
I’m gonna go off on this scene for a hot second, because this doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the talk with his mom and honestly this one hit me harder. So I’m gonna talk about why this scene is so fucking important to me.
The first line. Right out of the gate. “How long have you known?” Not, “how long have you been…you know…”, “how long have you known.” This is coming from a character we have seen (unintentionally, but still) commit homophobic microaggressions on screen at least twice now with many more implied, that difference is important.
Then when Simon answers, his response emphasizes the time they spent together when he didn’t know (Four years eating dinner together). I was sure, I was so sure his next line was going to be “why didn’t you tell me”. Because that’s how it goes right? The onus is always on the queer person, it’s always down to us. But that’s not what he says. He says “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have missed it.”
I don’t think I can put into words what hearing an apology in that moment did to me. I really can’t, I’m pretty sure I stopped breathing for a second. And then he says “All those stupid jokes…”
He is taking responsibility for his actions. He is acknowledging that he was wrong and he is apologizing for the hurt he, however unknowingly, caused his son. This is so rare. Because the key here is, not only is this a father-son relationship, which is always more difficult because men in our society have been conditioned to never be “touchy-feely”, it’s also a parent-child relationship.
Simon is still a teenager. His father has spent 17 years being the one responsible for Simon’s care; at this point the parent is the one in the equation where the majority of power still sits. For a parent to acknowledge to a child who is still not fully an adult that they were wrong, especially when it’s a father when men are conditioned to never give ground or “show weakness” over things like this, just. It doesn’t happen.
And even when Simon gives him an out he refuses to take it. Then he makes sure Simon knows that he is loved unconditionally, and reinforces it with physical affection. And it’s not a Manly Shoulder Pat either, this is a proper full-body hug followed by a kiss on the cheek.
And after a moment of awkwardness, he actively reaches out and shows interest in engaging in the queer aspect of Simon’s life by offering to sign up to Grindr together. He’s gotten it wrong (in the most adorably dad way possible), but the point is he made the effort. He didn’t just leave it at letting Simon know he loves him, he recognized that this is an on-going presence in his child’s life and he commits to continuously being involved with and acknowledging this aspect of his son.
I am someone who has Simon’s life. I am from an upper-middle class white family with two liberal straight parents who were high school sweethearts, and I have one younger sibling. My first car was even a used Subaru station wagon, I could not make this up. This is the moment I wish I could have with my parents.
They knew/suspected I was queer for years before I finally came out to them, but they didn’t know what to do with asexuality. They were fully prepared for me to be a lesbian and I still managed to blindside them. It was completely unexpected and they hadn’t heard of it so they didn’t know what to do about it. And we are the pinnacle of a WASP stereotype, so all of us suck at talking about our feelings. So while my parents never rejected me, they never tried to “fix” me, and they don’t really drop hints about me “settling down one day”, they also never talk about it with me. I assume because they don’t know how to and they don’t want to misstep.
We will have entire conversations about queer issues with no acknowledgement whatsoever that I am part of the group that issue pertains to. They have never tried to talk to me about what asexuality is, asked me to explain it, or asked about how to be involved in that aspect of my life. Which is unusual for them, both have always taken an active interest in both of their children’s activities. And there’s only so many times I can be the one to talk about the elephant in the room because it’s fucking exhausting.
So yeah. This scene, this moment, hit me like a semi truck. Because god do I want that in my life.
I’m crying
This scene made me cry
Reporters: So Johnny Storm, you’re going by the monacre The Human Torch, correct? Does your associate Ben Grimm have a monacre as well?
Johnny:
How do people with good eyesight go to sleep? When I’m done with the day I take my glasses off and the world is suddenly a pleasant blur of the most generously monet filter of vision degradation and it’s like. We’re done. You don’t gotta see anything anymore. You try sleeping with perfect eyes??? Seeing stuff????? Sad. Shitty eyesight uncorrected is half a dream state already where you did lose your fucking glasses and you won’t find them till morn but it don’t fucking matter till morn do it
Also people with contacts are strong because we casually remove things from our eyeballs, people with 20/20 vision are coddled and weak and they will not survive when the eyeball touching winter comes
i don’t understand how hearing people sleep at night. like i can just take out my hearing aids and boom world is nice and quiet but you guys just have to suffer i guess
