I just saw this video from the auralnauts channel on youtube! /watch?v=wjOkdyr6Cr8 It's way too funny, kylo reacts to tros trailer. I guess they do a lot of star wars parodies but I've only seen one and it was their tfa Kylo one. This new one was great, I didn't expect it to turn Reylo lol

You should see their TLJ one. It’s a hoot and it’s pretty Reylo. And wow, I didn’t know they already uploaded a TROS one! Thanks for linking it to me!

Bendemption/Reylo/Reverse Anidala evidence pt 3: Rule with Me edition

[I’ve decided that these three lines of evidence are way too intertwined to separate so #SoulOfBendemption is now all of this.]

Ok so this is going to be a comparison of the throne room scene from TLJ and the Padme confronting Anakin scene near the end of ROTS. The tl;dr version is that Padme and Rey go to confront Vader and Kylo to two different results. Vader & Kylo both offer to rule a new order - allowing the past to die - with their queens. It ends with both Padme and Rey turning them down. Vader then tries to kill Padme whereas Kylo says he’s going to destroy Rey but he honestly has the chance, and doesn’t. (I wrote more about that here -> x)

Bendemption Evidence (gifs & commentary) pt 2b

Tl;dr - Poe and Rey’s interrogation scenes are direct mirrors of each other. The contrast allows us to see the beginning of Kylo’s redemption as part of the Reylo story. While with Poe, we’re meant to see Kylo as an unfeeling villain (like how Vader started), by the end we’re supposed to see him as a conflicted human being (like redeemed Vader).

There is a reason why they’re so similar yet opposite. (There’s also Vader-demption parallels here.)

This is split up into two parts - 2a is the capture, 2b is the interrogation. Part 2a -> x

A/N: This didn’t end up being as detailed as I wanted because I realized a lot of the pieces I could use in other, smaller comparisons. And this was already WAY out of control length-wise.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Am I the only one that see’s connections with Reylo and Alina and the darkling in the shadow and bone trilogy

Especially when Alina starts seeing “visions” of him it reminds me of the force bond and how they both bond over being lonely

Ok yep this just screams reylo. So many parallels and I’m loving it.

Spoilers for Ruin and Rising but if you love reylo I suggest reading shadow and bone trilogy. I still haven’t finished it though but love a good hero x villain romantic connection

What is your ULTRA favorite Kylo Ren picture/gif? A post...

Unpopular opinion

I won’t be satisfied if reylo will be just “hinted”. I want a scene that make their love as clear as the sunlight.

Star Wars Labyrinth Crossover

Because there are still some people who worry about Daisy‘s interview, here are some twitter posts from Matt Martin and Pablo Hidalgo that might make you feel better :)

Bonus: Daisy Ridley:

Bonus: Mark Hamill:

Matt Martin is part of the star wars story group so he literally knows the whole plot of the story, wich the producers should follow.

Wedding harmony~

So I have a new theory based on the information from @agirlacrossthegalaxy that the tie silencer have an invisible mode.

First of all, I do believe they are training. He is not shooting and is easy to see that if he comes close to hit her, there’s enough space to lay down and let the ship fly above her. Rey also turns her back to Kylo, once she know he is not going to shoot her. 

But, I don’t understand two things:

1: Why she ignites the lightsaber? It does make it look like she is going to attack.

2: Why would they practice a flip over a ship? It doesn’t sound very useful. I even thought that the exercise was “Feel it with your instincts, don’t use your eyes”, but then I saw the whole scene had different backgrounds, like they had been doing this many times, SO YES, they are training how to flip above ships. 

So now my theory is: Kylo ren was attacked first by palpatine’s army and he knows their attack is invisible, OR, they’re getting ready to battle in somewhere with really bad view (i like that one most). They are training this especifically attack technique.

Daisy talked on a interview about filming this scene! She said the sunlight was very blinding and it was winding a lot! Daisy said that she was focusing in not squeeze her eyes, cause she didn’t wanted it to look like she was sighting the ship!!! (HER WORDS, i’m not deducing it!)

(I searched all my computer and cell phone historic for the interview, so i could put it here, but I’ve and found NOTHING. I think they removed it!. If someone finds it, please, send me! It was after the panel in the SWCC)

At this scene, we can already see Kylo’s Tie-Silencer! 

It gets even more clear…

But her eyes keep wide open! She can’t focus the ship because she is not seeing it!

THEN, Kylo starts flying low! Now Rey can see the dust, and also the noise is louder! That’s how she knows it’s time to ignite the lightsaber!

Rey turns, getting ready. She won’t see the right time to turn, so she does it very early as a precaution. 

This right here. This is not looking, this is hearing! 

The noise gets very loud. Time to run! Light saber ON, because she is training how to ATTACK on this situation.

And finally, the flip! (enjoy this gif to see how easy she could lay on the floor if he was trying to hit her).

And this heavy breath at the beggining? She just tried to do it right before. She’s CATCHING her breath while he approachs once more, until she get it right.

(Tried my best with the english)

Idk if you want to be pulled into this so you don’t have to answer if you don’t want but I guess an interview with daisy came out where she said she can’t get behind reylo :( I know actors’ opinions don’t have any effect on the story but I’m confused bc she’s liked reylo art and stuff in the past?? And has said positive things about their dynamic?? It kinda sucks when an actor isn’t on board with your ship that involves their character. Idk I’m a bit confused, curious to hear what you think!

I have like half a dozen messages about this so this is the only one I’m going to answer. so I was super busy yesterday so all I had time to see was brief glimpses of everyone freaking out, and when I finally had time to watch the interview…it’s not even that bad???

she’s pretty clearly using her fake-serious, spoiler-dodgy tone–if you’ve watched enough of her interviews it’s easy to recognize it. she keeps interrupting herself and ends up kind of rambling, so it’s pretty clear she wasn’t prepared to be asked directly like that and probably wasn’t prepped what to say. and she clearly fell back on the devil’s advocate sort of vague non-answer they all do when they get asked stuff like this, and phrased parts of it as what other people think, not her (and honestly “do you know about reylo” is just straight up a pretty dumb question to ask someone who can’t say a single thing about the upcoming movie. like…what is she supposed to say that when she can’t say anything).

and what she did end up saying…she’s clearly talking about as of the end of TLJ, because that’s all the audience is aware of. to put herself in a frame of mind where she can answer projection-y questions like that, she can’t give her as-of-the-end-of-the-trilogy personal opinion, because that’s on lockdown. all she can do is dance around the question mark at the end of TLJ. and she also quickly and essentially unpromptedly veers into “but maybe there’s redemption” all on her own.

we’re going to be getting many, many rambly, vague, nonanswer answers on this press tour as all the actors desperately try to dodge any question thrown at them at all, so I highly suggest the fandom stop putting so much stock in interviews like this. (and yes, she has liked reylo art in the past and called it beautiful, and called it wonderful that Rey sees the glimmer of good in Kylo, and that he was nurturing Rey, etc. one interview doesn’t negate all of that, especially one that’s pre-movie when those other two things she said were post-movie when she could actually say something more substantial.)

“I’ll come back sweetheart. I promise.”

“but how could Palpatine be in Episode IX if he died???”

It felt amazing being apart of this final fight. For me, after episode 8, I wanted more clarity. I had so many questions. I am the Star Wars fan—on set—that likes to debate everything or bring it up. And so, for me, I just wanted to see more. I want to know more about these characters. — JOHN BOYEGA at Star Wars Convention Chicago 2019

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

THIS COULD ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.”

So Rian just confirmed:

1. Kylo was going to kill Snoke for Rey since the hand touch. It was never for power - it was all for Rey.

2. Rian drew inspiration from the prequels (Anidala) for Reylo.

3. Rey is the most important person to Kylo brb I’m fucking dead

Kylo Ren endures years of being manipulated, mentally/physically abused, tormented, and used by Snoke - never standing up for himself. By accepting this treatment, it’s obvious how little he values his own life. He believes this is his fate.

Rey endures 10 minutes of being teased and tortured by Snoke, which Kylo has probably experienced since day one of the dark side and kills him without hesitation. He knew what he had to do. 

Had he killed Snoke himself years ago, it would show that Kylo believed he had something worth living for - but he didn’t.

What does this tell us?

Not only does Kylo Ren value Rey’s life more than his own, but he feels that she gives his life meaning.

Here’s why.

Killing Snoke not only saves Rey but also saves himself. Rey made him feel like he was worth saving.

“You’re not alone.”

“Neither are you.”

He proceeds to ask her to join him, a desperate plea to rule the galaxy with the girl who began the transformation of Kylo Ren into Ben Solo. Let’s break down the dialogue:

“It’s time to let old things die.”

It’s time for Ben to let go of Kylo, it’s time for Rey to let go of the past. 

“Snoke, Skywalker,”

The black and white rules their mentors have taught them,

“the Sith, the Jedi,”

He realizes he can’t fully devote himself to being a Jedi because although he feels the call to the light, the anger he feels from striking down his father will always be with him. Luke says it himself. (”…anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda)

“the Rebels,”

With the Sith and the Jedi gone, the Rebels will have nothing to rebel against. 

“Let it all die. Rey, I want you to join me.”

Let’s both forget the past and how it has defined us up to this point, and together start a new path with clean slates.

“We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.”

He never states how they will rule. To rule something can also mean to govern something, which could create a regulation and peace in the galaxy. Just because he uses the word rule does not mean his intentions were total domination.

(Rey:) “Don’t do this Ben. Please, don’t go this way.”

Like how I described above, she hears him and goes straight to the dark (just like she did with Luke’s first lesson on the force).

(Kylo:) “No, no, you’re still holding on. Let go! Do you want to know the truth about your parents, or have you always known? You’ve just hidden it away…”

This can be applied to both sides - Kylo has always known the truth about his parents and how they come from the light (”You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family.” - Tekka, The Force Awakens). Rey has always known the truth about her parents and how they were no one. Both characters hid the truth away. So when he says this to her, it’s just another thing that relates them, almost as if he’s saying it to himself as well. 

We all know what happens after that. “You’re nothing, but not to me” brings us back to the point of this post. Rey isn’t nothing to him because she brings meaning and value to his existence. 

Rey may come from nothing, but to Kylo? She is everything.
