so that was a lie
i still can't get over the fact kylo ren saw into the future with him & rey as emperor and empress and was just like "god. ideal timeline" and then chased her through the galaxy to make it happen. legend
first look to last look
DLF watching reylos figure out the original ending, discover sloppy editing, and collect evidence of reshoots all in the span of a week:
You have that look in your eyes, from the forest. When you called me a monster.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
all these leaks about a test screening, different ending where ben lives, with babies, Ireland sets filming... it's all making me more angry, depressed... how could they possibly screw up so badly? so greedy, so afraid of the fanboys, trolls.... erasing characters, bringing a trio (tm) no one ever asked. and Rey ALONE. "you're so lonely. so afraid to leave. at night desperate to sleep you imagine a ocean. i see the island. and... Ben Solo."
I wrote twitter meta about the one good thing about this film (Adam Driver’s acting, the PURE character work he did with zero dialogue) because I finally figured out what he was talking about when he said he was using “mask work” with Kylo Ren. He wasn’t playing through a mask only when he wore the helmet, he was acting as if his very FACE was a stoic blank mask he was looking through. That’s why Kylo Ren as a character has such a specific feeling to him, and why the audience instantly responded to Ben Solo, who could show his emotions.
This character was always 100% a young boy hiding behind a mask that hid and disallowed every emotion except for his anger, the only emotion that men are allowed to feel. This character is an exploration of how toxic masculinity harms men. And what miracles can happen for men internally when they embrace emotionality and forgive themselves and use their energy to do good. (I’m crying about him again.)
Tall, dark haired character with a difficult past that made them into a monster: exists
Me:
me when a character is described as tall, dark haired, sharp jawline, cheekbones, and blue eyes:
“when will it be perfect?”
Someone: Rey
Kylo:
“Taking one last look… at my friends…” Words can’t express how much I’ve learned from these people as I’ve watched them apply their acting talents over the last 5 years. I’ll always cherish our friendship. (via @JoonasSuotamo on Twitter)
* Kylo Ren , every single time someone asks him to kill Rey * Well yes , but actually no
Out of context, this looks…..uh….😳

Solos
I needed to post something funny to help deal with the pain.
The romantic implications this has. The sexual implications this has. The tenderness implications this has. The softness implications this has. The angst implications this has. The pining implications this has. The yearning implications this has. The enemies to lovers excellence implications this has.
Rian Johnson’s wife liking this tweet is what I call a power move
What girl? Rey. Rey of Jakku. The other half of your soul. inspo
I just can’t stop staring at this gif from this wonderful gifset @ohvictorias made.
This is the moment Ben kisses her back. Look how he opens his lips over hers and captures them so passionately. He even pounces on her a little, and she reacts by closing her eyes more tightly, fully surrendering herself to the moment and revelling in it. And look at her thumb curling over the corner of his mouth as he pulls her to him - he is pouring all of his love for her into the kiss and she is feeling all the feels, you guys!! They’re completely and utterly lost in each other in this moment and it’s beautiful.
This is Reylo in one gif.
“A bond between two living beings is not something easily broken. It is not a choice. . it is like breaking a feeling. Like turning away from the Force. To break a bond, your feelings would have to change, or one of you would have to die - but even then, the bond wouldn’t go away, it would simply. . it would simply be an empty wound.”
- Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
