Kylo lashes out with the words "What girl?!" as soon as he suspects that Rey may be around.

He kidnaps her and keeps her prisoner; when she wakes up he's on one knee, looking up to her.

He takes his mask off for the first time, for her.

He reads her mind because he wants to get to know her.

During their duel he spares her, he looks at her in fascination, he offers her to be her teacher.

When they have their Force bonds, Kylo immediately seeks her out while her first reaction is to shoot him.

He worries that projecting herself to him might be too dangerous for her.

He opens up to her although she's always attacking him.

Rey is the first person who gets to know what happened that night at Luke's temple through his perspective. She's also the last.

He tells her she's not alone and takes her hand.

He kills Snoke when he had tortured her and wanted her dead.

They fight the Praetorian Guards and prove to be unstoppable when together.

He offers her to rule the galaxy with him - why and how he wants to do that is unclear, but he clearly wants her to be with him.

When she leaves him on Crait, he looks up to her sadly and longingly.

While he's the Supreme Leader, Kylo continues to pursue Rey. He offers her his hand again.

He's the one who tells her her true parentage.

He desperately tries to prevent her from meeting Palpatine and gets stabbed by her. She heals him and he doesn't even look resentful.

Kylo reclaims his Ben persona and immediately goes into the lion's den on Exegol to stand by Rey's side.

Palpatine himself is impressed: he says that they're a Dyad in the Force, one soul in two bodies.

When Rey is about to die, Ben climbs out of the pit Palpatine had thrown him into despite his injuries, only to get to her.

He holds Rey in his arms tenderly, looks around desperately, with tears in his eyes.

He gives her his remaining life force to save her although he knows he won't survive it.

When she kisses him, at first he's baffled. Then he looks happy. It's the only time in all of three movies that we see him smiling.

After all that, there are still people who are surprised or upset and cry out "What?! He was in love with her?" and the studios are being accused at catering to us idiot Reylos.

All I'm wondering about is how there can be viewers who are actually so abysmally stupid. Who knows how many of them have taken the sequels apart piece by piece and made videos and meta's about how awful they are, and this is just one of the major plotpoints they entirely missed.

We Reylos may not have been right either. The same author adds that Rey rejected Kylo. She didn't actually save him, and they didn't end up as a couple. But the bond between them was clear and strong and it played a major role in Kylo's return to the Light. You'd have to be an utter idiot not to see it.

I mean, I’m still glad it was flat out stated that Ben fell in love with Rey because there were people still insisting he only wanted her power or that there was never anything romantic between them, but I get what you’re saying. We have more evidence, I think, of his feelings for her than of her feelings for him. I think it would change things up a bit to have actual concrete canon evidence of those feelings being mutual.

Sure, of course people are happy to hear it. I don't think it's new information at all, and it's honestly weird to me that some people act like it is, but it's nice to actually get recognition of your canon pairing after all the bullshit we've been through. It's the rock bottom bare minimum, but DLF hasn't been clearing that bar for a long time, so it feels like a win.

I think it's 100% clear that Rey, the actual character, loves Ben and desperately wants to be with him, but Rey the actual character was taken out back and shot so DLF could have their SWCU brand avatar. I don't hold tros against the Rey of the first two films or her potential, just like I don't allow tros to ruin Luke and Leia for me. I'm not taking that shit on board because it was a bunch of incoherent nonsense which fundamentally destroyed the entire narrative and thematic heart of SW.

We don't have a declaration from Rey, but she showed us where her heart was by leaping into the lion's den with zero back up or exit strategy. She threw her life down at Ben's feet knowing that her life represented one of the last hopes for the galaxy. She believed in him that strongly. She wanted him that badly.

And, you know, despite the absolute shit show of tros, the actors managed to deliver us a perfect moment based solely on the emotional continuity from TLJ without any scripted dialogue to fuck it up. Her face when she wakes up in his arms. Her kiss. He is the home she's yearned for all her life.

If people can't understand that means she loves him, that's a them problem.

And yeah, it would be great if DLF would acknowledge this incredibly obvious and well-established fact of the ST in words, it'd be nice to have more ammunition because at this point we've earned being petty, but I don't think it would change anything. They literally kissed on the mouth for longer than any other couple in all of SW and antis were blind suddenly, they couldn't see. We get 'kiss of gratitude' and 'but isn't that incest tho' ludicrous copes to this day.

No amount of validation from DLF is going to move the needle for the entrenched doofus brigade in this fandom. Ep IX was the crucial moment which would have vindicated the story and brought the audience together (not that it would ever have won over some people, but you know) and they whiffed that. Even in the shitty, nonsensical execution of tros, we saw the microcosm of what the ST's RotJ would have done. So many people finally 'got' Ben just from two minutes without dialogue, imagine if the movie had been coherent and had had the ending the narrative needed and promised.

But yeah, anyway. I expect nothing from DLF and I don't think anything they could do will ever make much difference now. The canon is already broken and can't be fixed without just redoing ep IX, which would never happen. The audience and the GFFA are both fractured beyond repair.

Ok you know what, let's spread some positivity. Reblog this if you actually like Star Wars

And I am refering to all of star wars and not just select parts of it. Even if you have issues with parts of it, you still enjoy it.

Made this a while ago. Figured I’d spread the love of Star Wars Little Guys.

I just NEED everyone to agree with me that Rey's parents are nobody. We should all agree about that. We should collectively, as an audience, say, "clearly the best idea was to have Kylo Ren be a dynastic heir to the major legends of the Force who wants to throw off his family's shadow, while his rival is nobody from nowhere who wants to belong--so we're going to stick with that."

And then, what should have happened is, Rey can finish her story by being able to say, "My parents might have abandoned me, but that doesn't mean I'm worthless." And eventually Kylo Ren can say, "My family might have been powerful, but I don't have to be," and all those other things that they can bounce off of each other as great foils.

It can keep being a good story about accepting past failures and choosing to grow beyond them.

Let's just all collectively ignore Rey Skypatine because of how silly that was. I mean. If they can just ignore the setups in the previous movie, we can ignore their choices in the conclusion. Right?? Right? Tell me I'm right

That’s not Kylo. That’s Ben Solo.

Like Rey, we didn’t really need you to tell us he was conflicted.

What’s evil about the way he’s sliding like a kid in slipper socks along a shiny floor?

Luke skywalker !! This and everything else I’m uploading for awhile is at least 1+ year old. So if you see mistakes, no you don’t ! lol.

I’ve been working on new art recently, as I finally have the motivation to draw after not making anything for a whole year. Soon I’ll be posting recent stuff. :)
