Think about Matt Cohen's abs - solution to every artblock.

Not necessarily to an art block, but it’s definitely a good solution to my voluntary break from writing :D

claranovak replied to your post:jakkusand: kimshinegyu: jakkusand: I’m against...

The irony of calling finnrey cliche when you ship fifty shades of reylo 2 lmao

jakkusand is so.... their logic is so ass backwards... like how is wholesome finnrey so cliche but reylo not?? like imdb has a list of these movies.

my fave part of the list is that it’s a bunch of white couples. lmao

Why is that person so obsessed with disproving FS!Finn, Rey had not awaken at that point of the film. It doesn't take a master degree. In fact Snoke obviously didnlt know about Rey UNTIL Kylo told him about her much later in the film. Hell, I don't think even Kylo knew about Rey's ability until the interrogation scene since he didn't comment on it when he was mocking her about Han Solo and her friends (it also explains why Kylo seemed so personally angry at Finn in their fight).

cont. Kylo was obviously as interested in Finn as he was in Rey. That only makes sense if they are both force sensitive and a possible threat. And not just because Finn was some random stormtrooper. Considering stormtroopers get sent into recondition Finn's doubts wouldn't have caused that big of red flag alone. There has to be something else about him.

Oh that ones easy. It starts with r and ends with ism.

When you consider the fact that Finn was envisioned and written as a white man (see all the concept art, in every piece Finn is drawn as a white guy), then all the clues and queues surrounding him isn’t even remotely subtle. And Rey (envision as a white woman) gets the more obvious clues because Abrams, Kasdan & Kennedy et al. knows that people will focus on the (white) man over the (white) woman.

The issue arose when John got cast as Finn and Abrams didn’t do rewrites to account for race. Because if people will focus on the white male over the white female, then they will focus on literally anyone else (even the blurred out two bit white villain with no skills and less personality in the background) over a Black male lead.

But Abrams subscribe to the colorblind theory so I doubt he would ever even consider this an issue.

Back to your points. 

Heck, even when Kylo does tell Snoke about Rey he sort of doubts it and doesn’t seem to have sensed her himself, despite the fact that she used the Force not that long before. (Exact words: “If what you say about the girl is true, bring her to me.”)

And Kylo does initially seem very dismissive of Rey. (Just a scavenger.) Right up until she laser targets his creepy obsession with Vader.

Yeah, since reconditioning is a thing and Phasma seems very much to be on top of things there, Finn’s doubts alone would not have cause Kylo Ren’s obsessive and unusual attention to FN-2187.

And it is very unusual. I’m working on an analysis of the scene between Hux and Kylo Ren on the bridge, during Finn’s and Poe’s escape and it highlights not only the interest Kylo has in Finn, but also how very extraordinary that interest is.

But more on that when I get the whole thing typed out.

Anakin has no time for his grandson's fanboy letters!

He’s got important Force Ghost events to attend. Yoda and Obi-Wan are arm wrestling. He needs to referee.

The R//ylos are in our safe tags, I need positivity!

?? Safe tags? I’m missing something lol.

If this is just about R/ylos being their usual dick selves and being obnoxious in other tags then all we can do is block. And flood each other’s dashes with non-R/ylo goodness, I’ll get on that.

I don't know if you've seen Finn's Lego Star Wars mini clip but it has some serious cute Finn/Slip moments that made my rare pair ship heart swoon.

I cried tbh. That one moment was enough for me to ignore what I felt was really off characterization exaggerated for laughs. Flip 4eva!

[jawnbaeyega]

While I enjoy Kylo as a villain, I completely agree that he needs to die as a villain. The moment he killed his father was him fully embracing the Dark Side, redeeming him at the last minute would be a slap in the face to Han and everyone else he's hurt (and before people bring Vader, I'm pretty sure the only person who forgave Vader was his son (I doubt even Leia did), like you bet everyone else still thinks he was a monster).

He’s an incredible villain because he’s built in the mold of one of today’s worst villains: entitled white men who throw tantrums and kill people because the world isn’t giving them what they believe they’re owed. 

What’s so wild is that JJ Abrams has stated publicly that they had Kylo murder Han to solidify his status as a villain and to turn the audience against him. They literally tried to figure out the best way to make him worse than Vader without being a cheap rip off. I mean, this dude killed one of the most beloved film characters of all time and folks are STILL defending and excusing him. Like...the need to defend, empathize with, and absolve evil white dudes runs DEEP. Appreciating him as a villain is one thing, but pretending like he didn’t do anything wrong or attempting to hand wave away literal genocide and absolve him of responsibility is entirely full stop not okay. I really hope they don’t try to redeem him. He needs to die nameless and unredeemed.
