Is This Dark Academia Or Cottagecore?

Istg or you guys are whores or i'm the whore

Ben: The only way you're getting to Exegol... is with me.

Rey: Okay.

Ben: What?

Rey: Sure. Since you already know the way... Besides, why bother the trouble to find the second wayfinder in a dangerous mission? You've already found one, let's use that.

Ben: Really?

Rey: Plus, it would be better to have help while facing the Emperor. And since we both want him dead and we make a pretty good team, as we established in the previous film...

Ben: Whoa, whoa! So you're saying... you are going to Exegol with me?

Rey: Of course! It would be very stupid of me to go alone. Why would I?

Ben: Yeah, that would be dumb. So... Aren't you going to fight me?

Rey: Why?

Ben: We are in the death star, I guess a lightsaber duel would be very dramatic and visually outstanding.

Rey: Ben, if I wanted you dead, I'd kill you in the throne room while you were unconscious.

Ben: I know, right?!! It's not like you had to run in the desert and do a dangerous backflip!

Rey: Nah... That's just extra.

Ben: Good, that's what I thought.

Rey: Just to let you know, I have two lightsabers now. If you need one--

Ben: But I already have my own.

Rey: Yeah, but if you happen to toss it in the ocean--

Ben: Why would I do that? It's my only weapon! I need it to protect myself!

Rey: Lol, I don't know, just saying. Oh, another thing I forgot to mention! Now I can force heal. So if you get injured or die, don't worry, I got you.

Ben: That's a relief! I might try it too!

Rey: Sure, it's totally not dangerous! Nothing happens to you.

Ben: So I'm not risking dying or something?

Rey: Absolutely not. Since I did it without any harm, why would it harm you? Don't worry, you'll be fine. You are a fan favorite.

Ben: I know, JJ and Chris Terrio wouldn't dare kill me off.

Rey: It would make no sense at all. But even if they do, I healed a murderous snake once, I can do it again.

Ben: Hey--

Rey: Just kidding, love you, hope you come back to the light side! ♡♡♡ And even if you don't, that vision of us in the Sith throne was dope!

Ben: Oh you saw that too? So it wasn't just my dream. Were you sitting in my lap in your vision too?

Rey: Yeah and I kept touching your tight.

Ben: Good, let's kill that old man and sit on his throne.

Rey: But can we be on the light side while seated?

Ben: Rey, it's literally the SITH throne! What part of the word "sith" do you not get?

Rey: But you said you wanted to let old things die, remember? Can we just be grey jedi instead?

Ben: K, whatever, if we still get to touch fingertips I don't mind.

Rey: I should probably call Leia and tell her I'm with you. You know, just in case she wants to speak to you, she doesn't have to reach out using the Force.

Ben: That would kill her.

Rey: Yeah, she can just call me on this high-tech comlink we use in this galaxy.

Ben: Plus the connection would be of better quality.

reasons why i am now in love with johnny flynn as mr. knightley in emma (2020), in chronological order:

our first glimpse of knightley is as an independent person, completely separate from his relationship to emma, and though those first minutes of his screen time have very little dialogue, we see him (*ahem* all of him *ahem* *chef’s kiss*) and bits of his character shining through in how he carries himself during vulnerable moments, how he interacts with his servants and banters with them, how he is clearly an energetic, against the grain, down-to-earth man, from his clear familial intimacy with the housekeeper to his desire to walk everywhere rather than taking a carriage. we also get a simple establishing shot of him walking through empty covered rooms that sets up the importance of the relationship with the woodhouse family in his presumably lonely bachelor life

(but also, god bless autumn de wilde for truly directing this movie in the female gaze, BLESS YOU)

just…the way he’s always soft and familiar with emma - they banter and argue passionately, but also sit close together and laugh in private moments together showing how kindred they are

the DANCE at the BALL - the way he carefully takes her hand before the dance, the way you can literally see him get drawn into the dance and staring into her eyes, the way he forgets the steps and does the WRONG MANEUVER at the end so that she is in his arms, the HANDS the hands ok i’ll stop now

the way he seems so stricken and confused and desperate and longing as he gets left behind after the dance, and then runs after her?! and then stares at her when she runs out to meet him?! the restless pining is just ungghhh

and THEN he’s adorably bumbling and thinks emma wants him to stay but then emma asks for frank to stay instead and he does that adorable scrunched up face like …”really? him? in front of my salad?”

also, taking off the uncomfortable bits of his period costume so he can starfish sprawl on the floor in romantic frustration what a mood

i liked how, in the box hill fight, you get a sense that he’s not so much straight angry at her but more viscerally disappointed in emma because he loves her so much and knows that she should know better and that she is capable of being better and he just desperately wishes that she could find the empathy he knows she possesses underneath her societal mask of superiority

him running and hopping over walls to meet emma before The Scene was absolutely adorable

he gets teary-eyed not ONCE but TWICE at the end of this movie because he loves emma so much and he’s so EARNEST as he bares his heart to her - he is definitely the most emotionally moved and visibly in love mr knightley of all the adaptations, and i just…MY HEART

he’s bumbling for most of the movie but THEN at the end he’s suddenly smooth and sneakily like “oh mr. woodhouse maybe you are right maybe there is a draft in the room oh no i must go sit next to emma” and then he’s so SWEET and he looks so fond and even more in love when she gives him the adorable little peck of a kiss… and they do the forehead touch!! as he gazes at her and slowly leans back in?! i was SWOONING i tell you

basically, johnny flynn was just a really SOFT mr. knightley and i love him thank you for coming to my TED talk
