“We were separated. He couldn’t touch me.”

reblog if you're a reylo who also loves Finn

I can’t find it in me to finish this thing so BOOM you get the sketch. My transformers obsession is a very real thing and it goes DEEP. I’m like a biohazard. THIS is my FAVORITE doomed yaoi.

Barbara Kean, you surprise me yet again.

Was kylo redeemed with his sacrifice to rey? Do you think that negates all his past actions ? Regardless of the motive or cause ?

“what does he have to be redeemed for?” Adam Driver 

You can tell the frustration  during the interview, that he himself has been thinking about it so much, that he delved into what made him Kylo Ren but also human, that HE knows the backstory. 

A backstory that was almost completely absent from TROS, if you count Palpatine “ I was every voice you ever heard in your head” inferring manipulation and lies.  The story omits completely his childhood, the feelings of betrayal he felt as his own parents feared him, the way they sent him away and the ultimate failure from his own uncle is not once mentioned, it omits that he never massacred his Jedi friends ( comic) that he never destroyed the temple, that he felt so alone,  traumatised and ashamed that he went to the only welcoming place : Snoke / aka Palpatine

He was a victim, with a feeling of helplessness and depression so strong that seeking the dark side by killing his dad was really a form suicide. 

You’re son is dead // My son is alive // ergo kill the father to kill the son at last

Han Solo tried to bring him home in TFA and failed, but once Rey admitted that she loved Ben Solo, he went back to the moment he killed his father, the moment that tormented him with his guilt. He replayed the scene, and this time He really heard and understood what his father was telling him, he welcomed it.

His  father’s love, his mother’s love were unconditional and he could go home at ANY time…. they always loved him. At this moment Kylo literally TURNS around, he turns and THROWS aways his lightsaber, and later off screen the top layers of the Kylo Ren persona,  to reveal only BEN SOLO, damaged and all. He freed himself.

I think, the Han Solo scene shows that Kylo/ Ben had to forgive himself first, before moving on, he was held back by guilt and resentment and thought he had done too awful a thing that it was impossible to come back. 

Finally Ben SOLO came for REY. It was not Kylo anymore.

Ben Solo never had anything to be redeemed for, he was a victim.

But even then, he made the ultimate sacrifice, selfless, without thinking twice about it, he gave Ben Solo’s life to Rey, out of pure LOVE. He is more than redeemed, he’s a hero in that scene. 

The movie does not do him justice, by telling us what’s happening to him. We can only read the subtext, he’s either one with Rey, making her Skywalker, or one with the Force, but they only wanted to have the legacy Force ghost in the end, as new parental figures, or he is somewhere yet unknown. The story is cruel because it does not really bring closure to his fate. 

BUT Ben solo is a hero.

Season 8 Jonsa Fix-It Fic List

Our hands are cold, the moon sets low [Link] | @redbelles | 3,311 | The letter is short, a bare handful of words that burrow beneath her skin like slivers. She reads them over and over until they are carved into her heart, red as weirwood sap. Red as blood. Daenerys is dead. The North is free, and yours, as it should be. Take care of our family. Or: Jon and Sansa in the aftermath.

I laid my weapons down [Link] | lagardère (laurore) | 6,046 | “It is far easier, isn’t it, to be at war?” Or, how Jon in the aftermath of the Battle of Winterfell deals with the end of the Long Night.

In Love and Death We Don’t Decide [Link] | @pardonmymannerssir | 7,371 | Her siblings arrive like leaves carried on a sudden breeze, alighting upon the placidity of her life and casting wide ripples before being swept away again. Their movements are cyclic, changing and shifting like the seasons, but one thing will never change: Winterfell is home.

Come out of hiding (i’m right here beside you) [Link] | @noqueenbutthequeeninthenorth | After the death of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow goes to live beyond the Wall, while Sansa Stark, the newly-named Queen in the North, marries a Dornish prince. Three years later, when Jon finally gathers the courage to return to Winterfell, he finds that while many things have changed, one hasn’t: he’s still in love with Sansa.

We set fire in the snow [Link] | @framboise | 7,536 | There is a coldness, a numbness, inside of her, a frozen landscape where her heart used to be, and some days she thinks it might choke her, that one morning her maids might enter her room to find a woman carved of ice in her place and Sansa Stark vanished.

Fashioned for Love [Link] | lizimajig | 9,082 | “What does the Queen in the North want with a common traitor and queenslayer?” he asks. He hadn’t been expecting an answer, not really, and even though his blackest parts might have thought it – wished it, willed it – he’s certainly not expecting a kiss like this, like she is a woman dying of thirst and he is the last stream in Westeros. And he leans into it; she can have every last piece if it means she lives.

Like winter we are cruel [Link] | lagardère (laurore) | 73,599 | Winter has come to Winterfell, Jon expects a war north of the Wall, and Littlefinger is brewing one inside the very castle. Alternate season 7 and 8; Sansa and Jon face the Long Night.
