“When the sky is dead and forever gone will you find me?” Companion piece Flowers crowns are much happier and pretty than these awful golden ones, their weight is also much more pleasant. Too bad they never last. (This is part or a Kylux AU of mine, please try not to retag it as another pairing, thanks!)
Beautiful.
I love them so much 💜

Ben Solo - Metamorphosis
——-
Another painting with Ben/Kylo and Kintsugi(Kintsukuroi). I really love the concept, something beautiful and stronger from the broken. It makes perfect sense for Ben. It’s happening, guys. Bendemption is upon us...
Side note, this is probably the best I’ve ever drawn Adam Driver’s face. Feeling that victory right now 😂 Thanks Rolling Stone photoshoot for the best profile reference pic we could ever ask for.
OKAY BUT WHAT MATTERS IS THAT BEN SKYWALKER SOLO KNEW HE WAS LOVED, REALLY AND TRULY LOVED FOR WHO HE WAS EVEN IF FOR A MOMENT

Who else is DYING to see this in Ep 9??
I mean it’s a little rough, but it works…
sigh…
Oh my fuck I just spit my drink everywhere
I’m in fucking tears
I ugly laughed
ah yes. han solo. han solo, so suave
so cool under pressure
so calm in a crisis
great at handling difficult situations, for example, can get his own gloves off WHILE talking to a cute girl AT the same time no problem thanks for asking
so great at witty comebacks
definitely has slept with MANY a lady because, again, Han Solo is a cool guy, and not a grumpy hermit who, were he a person in the world, would spend all his weekends alone in his apartment with his phone turned off watching Ice Road Truckers
definitely not a weirdo with a shitty haircut who talks to his car
no. mister cool guy. always looks so cool. so cool in a fight
so cool. never panics about everything all the time constantly.
people trust him cause he’s got that cool guy charisma
always knows what he’s doing. han solo. an expert.
in conclusion: han solo, a cool space scoundrel, not a nerd. maybe you’re the nerd around here. hmm. looks like it. check and mate
TLJ Novelization Fun Cannon Fact #4
Kylo Ren was absolutely terrified after seeing Luke casually stroll out of the mine on Crait.
In the theater, we were already shown Kylo Ren’s overkill reaction upon Uncle Luke Skywalker simply strolling onto the salty surface of Crait in order to face his nephew’s army - and it’s safe to say he was not happy. However, we had no way of knowing what exactly was going through the newly assumed Supreme Leader’s mind at the time. Was it just anger?
Many Reylo fans have suggested it was fear being expressed on the face of Adam Driver’s character and it turns out they are very right. In the novel, Kylo Ren is absolutely terrified when confronted by his uncle.
In the novelization of the story, the initial First Order reaction we get to experience regarding Luke’s sudden appearance on Crait comes to us in the POV of General Hux. He does not know who this mad man is but quickly figures it out by Kylo’s reaction.
“Amused,, he glanced over at Ren - and whatever he had been going to say died on his lips. Because the new Supreme Leader looked like he was staring down at a ghost.” - Hux POV (TLJ EE, page 292)
It is at this moment Hux realizes he is looking upon Luke Skywalker. Hux also quickly realized Kylo Ren is absolutely and positively afraid of this man.
“He looked at Ren’s face and saw terror - naked and undisguised.” - Hux POV (TLJ EE, page 293)
This leads to all sorts of unsavory thoughts from Hux that we’ll get into at another time….
Next, we finally get Kylo’s reaction to the whole thing and it seems to confirm his general’s interpretation as being pretty spot on. In fact, Kylo’s so affected by his uncle’s appearance that he actually starts to cry…
“His fists were clinched and there were tears in his eyes.” -Kylo Ren POV (TLJ EE, page 294)
At this point, the Supreme Leader would rather for Uncle Luke just disappear (preferably in the hail of gunfire raining down upon him) but there is a little hint that Kylo knows better - and Luke’s really not a fear Kylo is ready to face.
“Beside him, Kylo raised his eyes almost unwillingly. As if what was happening below them wouldn’t become real if he didn’t look. But that only worked in ancient myths, the kind of stories told to entertain children.” - Kylo POV (TLJ EE, page 295)
Therefore, the Supreme Leader realizes like it or not, he was going to have to face Luke after all.
Finally, we also get a sense of this fear again when we get to experience Luke’s POV at this point in the story while he is examining his nephew in the force.
“Even stronger than the anger were Kylo’s pain and fear. They filled him, threatening to devour him.” - Luke’s POV (TLJ EE, page 297)
So as you can see, the novel pretty much confirms the common Reylo theory where Ben Solo is very much still afraid of Luke Skywalker after what had taken place in the Jedi temple. This fear forms the root cause of what makes him become Kylo Ren.
Oh, Adam Driver spelled abject fear with that unreal face of his alright. He, a Force user who OVERPOWERED SNOKE, is terrified by Luke effin Skywalker. It’s his nightmare. The fact that a) tells of the depth of trauma that broke Ben Solo to the core b) tells of the backhanded trauma of Leia and the Resistance summoning Luke - as far as Ben’s concerned they evoke his nightmare to finish the job in his Jedi hut.
When he sits back on the command shuttle, he appears to be mouthing something like, ‘It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s just Luke’. This broken man is literally talking himself down from a panic attack over seeing the man who was going to kill him in his sleep.
^^^The command shuttle combo is difficult to watch. It’s such an intrusive insight into the very core of Ben’s trauma. He’s loosing it, literally. The grown ass, powerful man, who can stop blaster bolts midair, soldier on through a wound in his gut, take up three opponents in a fight at a time, master control and will to outsmart an evil, insanely telepathic demon, is falling apart over the mere sight of Luke Skywalker, the galaxy’s brightest hope. He’s powerless, again, frozen on his little cot in his little hut, with a saber over his head in a most trusted hand. This also spells a blueprint to the traumatized out of his wits, scared kid, seeking refuge and a promise of protection, a promise of being taught how to regain control of his fear, his pain, in the ‘loving embrace’ of a merciless creep.
Thank you for putting this together in such a concise, organized post. I’ve been aware of Kylo/Ben’s fear at this time, but it is really helpful to see it all laid out like this. I also think it is interesting in light of the fact of how much effort Kylo had put into finding Luke. It had been a primary mission for him under Snoke’s directive. But when he actually comes face-to-face with his uncle, the monster from his nightmares overpowers him in the moment. Very strong stuff! I’m sure I will point this out when discussing Kylo’s redemption with others.
Ugh, this shit is depressing. Can’t wait to finally see this child be saved in a year and 4 months.
^^^same. Ben Solo needs some peace. I’m hoping we get to see both Ben and Force Ghost Luke do some healing together in IX. I honestly think that Snoke had placed those thoughts of “death and destruction” into Ben’s head as Luke looked into his mind that night— I even speculate that it’s possible Snoke manipulated Luke’s thoughts and brought him to his brief “moment of instinct”.
The fact that Snoke destroyed Ben’s life just to get to Luke Skywalker is so unbelievably sickening. Ben had been manipulated since he was in the womb. All the suffering Ben endured over the years—feelings of loneliness, abandonment, inadequacy, the weight believing his own family didn’t love him— it was all because Snoke wanted to destory Luke. Ben was just a pawn in the game.
Ugh. I’m so glad that parasitic weener-slug is dead.
Side note: I can’t wait until IX’s novelization comes out because Ben’s innermost thoughts will no longer have to be hidden for the sake of the story. I so look forward to when we can finally take a deeper dive into Ben’s mind.
