And we’re back in the forest with the story we really care about, the focus of the story which is Rey and Ren. – J.J. Abrams

Adam Driver in the trailer for The Dead Don’t Die (2019) dir. Jim Jarmusch
He wasn’t supposed to die, but Jar Jar killed him in the editing room. My clown instinct tells me so.
@Centennial_2 on Twitter pointed out how the kiss scene was edited all wrong (the hand placements are inconsistent, reversing Ben’s fall shows that Rey is pulling him up, etc.), so I cut it all up and stitched it back together the way it’s supposed to be. 🤡
Music: “Farewell” by John Williams, from TROS soundtrack (it’s the same track as in the actual scene, just not the same part of it)

I’m going to be salty as fuck about TROS for the foreseeable future (ever? Probably forever.) while still celebrating the beauty (and unnecessary painful tragedy) of Ben Solo A FUCKING LEGEND along with the beautiful love story about healing that Reylo COULD HAVE EASILY been.
I will cherry pick the shit out of the FEW “good” scenes in TROS but otherwise completely reject the narrative. I will NOT apologize for this offensive nightmare ending that destroyed the franchise.
If salt isn’t your brand of coping I can respect that and I’ll attempt to tag those posts “TROS salt”.
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Or maybe because you just happen to like another character more. Why does race constantly need to be brought up to attack someone’s preference of character/storyline?
why would you bring race to a completely unrelated matter? and you’re only on episode two and you’re saying already that lancelot & nimue are the superior ship even when you haven’t gotten the chance to see arthur and nimue develop their relationship? damn. maybe you ARE racist.
I got excited by the possibility of Nimue and Lancelot becoming romantically involved after watching just the first episode. Like I said in the original post, I enjoy the enemies to lovers trope and it seems to me like that’s what’s being set up to happen. I love trying to predict the plot of shows and movies and me shipping them is just one of those predictions. I didn’t realize people were being called racist for shipping them until I was scrolling through related tags and my post was a response to that.
I try my hardest to be an anti-racist but I know I still have a more to learn since I’m not a POC. It’s possible I ship Nimue with Lacelot instead of Arther because of subconscious racism and I’ll be mindful of that as I continue to watch the show. It’s my belief though that arguments about ships detract from more important issues POC deal with daily. As my original post said, multiple POVs can coexist in fandoms as long as those opinions aren’t actively hurting or oppressing people.
