Y’all wanna know what my updated thoughts on Reylo are? No? I don’t care.

Rey and Kylo Ren met for the first time in the middle of the First Order invading Maz Kanata’s castle. Then he kidnapped her and proceeded to prod and torture her for information on BB-8. Torture. Her. It ain’t romantic y’all. Then he killed her father figure, and his actual father, Han Solo, in front of her, before chasing them outside and battling her and Finn. He throws her against a tree, guys. And manipulates her into trying to join him. She defeats him and leaves him for dead.

The Last Jedi. They meet during Force Skype and she tries to kill him. More Force Skype. She calls him a murderous snake. He tells her to find the real truth. Force Skype pt. 3. Shirtless Kylo telling her to come to him after she gets into a fight with Luke about Kylo’s turn to the dark. In the elevator, she persuades him to join the light, calling him Ben. Throne room. They fight together against Snoke’s guards after Kylo kills Snoke for still unknown reasons. Kylo persuades her to join him again. They attempt to each get the Skywalker saber. Rey leaves while Kylo is unconscious.

They have had 9 encounters over two movies, 4 of which are non violent towards each other, and 3 being the main evidence for Reylos. Even if the non violent encounters, most are still iffy on the moral scale. She obviously hates him in the beginning of TLJ and throughout TFA, but when she learns the truth, she discovers something else in her. There is no possible way, however, for a human to go from blood-boiling, shoot-on-sight hatred, to “ILY sooo much I want your babies” in a few days. Rey would, using common sense, only be interested in him to join the light side. I see it as what it is, someone finds out their enemy is broken and hurt and wants them to become better through friendship and maybe therapy, but also paying for what they’ve done. I think that Reylo is a complicated situation for what it is portrayed as. In a morally right world, it would not be canon ever, but portrayed as someone guiding a lost soul back to the light, PLATONICALLY.

*However, there are extreme amounts of sexual tension in TLJ, and I totally over looked that. They do have some form of physical attraction to each other, and why not? Idk. The elevator scene has so much tension that it could be cut with a light saber. Not to mention the throne room fight. Rian Johnson had an idea for their relationship and ran with it. That movie was more full of sexual tension than Titanic.*

That “Bad boy is restored to good with a kiss by a good girl” trope is unbelievably toxic. Relationships like that are not sustainable or healthy by any means, as they often end in abuse or neglect. Not even to say that Rey has plenty of other relationship options, like Finn(*ok maybe not Finn*)

Reylo is totally fine as an offscreen, crackship that is not portrayed like Twilight, especially to all the little girls who look up to Rey as a role model. What do you think they are gonna do when they are faced with a man like Kylo Ren when they grow up? Fall in love because “oh its okay, its so cute”. Media does influence us, especially as kids and young teens. Seeing a relationship on screen can influence us to think it is okay, especially if it is written to be okay.

Now, the fandom. Jesus Christ on a cracker. Can you all chill the fuck out? Please? You are making this place so hard to have fun in. (*Referring to the people who take it way too far, everyone else is cool*)

I’m into Reylo as a crackship. Yes, I ship it. I think they, aesthetically, are cute together, because I am a bi mess and they are hot as hell. Now, do I want them to be canon? Absolutely fucking not. Fanfics and edits are fine with me, but please keep this ship off the big screen. I feel the same way about Kylux. Crack ship up the wazoo. Do I think they’re cute? In certain fanfics and AU’s, yes! Canon wise? NOOOO.

*But you guys have fun and ship and let ship, I just wanted to rant and put my opinions up on the inter web.*

So, TL;DR

Reylo is fine as a ship if it stays away from the big screen. I ship it too, but in the same way I ship Bubba and Stretch, Momo and Todoroki, and Kylux.

Please debate in the notes

Tell me about ur ocs challenge 👀

dhjakdhakhdk you are not aware that you are opening Pandora's box with this one... I have a lot of stories and ocs and idk how interested people you are in them but uuhhh let me try to summerize them heh

Blood & Ink A story about the seven deadly sins and their struggles, with a main focus on Paget (the sin of lust) and the loss of their lover Cliff who was their one and only, their everything, light of their life and their efforts to be reunited with him no matter the cost. (This one especially deals a lot with death, loss, love, (found) family and coming to terms with oneself)

ADWIND (A Detective's Work Is Never Done) A very purposefully cliché detective Noir story set in a ficticious version (and mix of) the 20s/80s and is about two rival detectives, Robert and Noir, who both chase a serial killer called The Phantom. Robert is an aloof and laid back/anxious detective working for the JPD (Juneberg Police Department) and does things mostly by the books while Noir (a private eye) is ready to walk over corpses to reach his goal. Also Noir is techincally dead. His side kick is Anubis (yes, THE Anubis) who gave him a second shot at life to get revenge on his killer/The Phantom. (This one also deals with death, but also friendship, betrayal, the theme of there being good in the bad and bad in the good and ofc my obsession with noir movies hdkahdkHSD)

Phosagnosia A cosmic/sci-fi horror story A sugary sweet love story about the scientist Tommy and his crush childhood friend Bonnie. Tommy is a very nervous, yet sweet and caring physics man whose goal it is to find the secret to time travel (and bring his dead father back to life) but during his reasearch he accidentally discovered dimension hopping and...lets say he found something that should have better been left alone :) But nothing bad is happening I promise it's just those two pining like crazy don't worry about Tommy's sudden change in personality it's still the old sweet little guy he's your friend he would never hurt you :)

I smash a window and sneak into your inbox to leave a small note asking if you prefer beer or wine.

If ya wonder why Benson’s favorite beverage is Root Beer, that’s actually a trait from myself that I gave him.
