You know what I'm tired of pretending I don't ship reylo

“That’s abusive”

“That’s manipulation”

I’m gonna explain why it’s not in this context:

Now, is this how you should address your love interest irl? Definitely not. Is Ben Solo truly back to the light at this point? No. Is Kylo’s mindset still twisted? Yes. However, some don’t seem to understand what Kylo/Ben meant.

“You’re nothing.” Kylo/Ben didn’t mean Rey was actually nothing. Hell, he legit tells her she’s anything but that. “Nothing” , in his terms, means she’s seen as worthless by the people who are supposed to love her.(I know Rey’s parents are actually good people, I’ll get into that) means that they saw her as someone- something, honestly, to get rid of.

This is what Ben thought Leia and Han saw in him; that he was worthless and they needed Luke to off him. That nobody loved him. At least, that’s what he felt before he met Rey. He knows Rey grew up thinking no one loved her, and thought that she possessed nothing of value.

At this point, Ben hasn’t fully come back. He still feels like he was a victim to the light (when he was actually a victim to the dark) and he’s telling Rey “those people”- her parents, his parents, Luke, etc consider her nothing. “Real abusers brainwash victims into turning on their friends and family” Kylo/Ben doesn’t consider the resistance Rey’s friends. He thinks they’re just going to use and discard her the way he thought he was. He thinks he’s looking out for her. Real abusers typically know their victims loved ones care but wanna get rid of them so they can have said person all to themselves.

(And before you come at me like “actually a lot of abusers don’t get what they’re doing but it’s not an excuse” yea I got that, doesn’t apply here)

“But not to me”- This is Ben telling Rey that their view on her is wrong. That she’s not nothing. That’s she is, in fact, everything. To him especially. He’s not just saying this so she can be on the dark side, that’s not his main concern here even if he still is on the dark side. His main concern is what’s best for Rey, and he believes joining himself is what’s best for her.

His mind set isn’t “I’m gonna isolate her from her friends so I turn her evil and use her for my growth” it’s actually “Those people tried to kill me and use me for my power and they’ll do the same to her so I’m gonna protect her while I still can” he thinks he’s helping her. It’s pretty fucked, but he’s not trying to manipulate her.

“He lied about her parents” no he didn’t. Was Kylo/Ben wrong about Rey’s parents? Yes. But what you people fail to remember is YOU REALLY SHOULD NOT USE THE FORCE AS A FORTUNE TELLER. The future/ past visions are often vague and altered. He only saw parts of what happened. He had no clue that her parents were actually protecting her from evil, he saw them leaving and going to shady ass places and thought they were actually trading her for alcohol. That’s why when he found out the truth he told her!!! If he was manipulating her so he could have her all to himself, he would’ve never told her the truth. Notice how when she left at the end of TLJ he let her and didn’t form a plan to force her back or hurt her. He aggressively tried to persuade her, yes, but he never seriously threatened her. He even snitches on the dark side for Rey and offered to kill Palpatine instead of killing her to complete his mission.

So, bottom line- When Kylo/Ben called Rey nothing, he wasn’t saying she was actually worthless. He was saying that’s what her parents and the people who felt turned on him saw her as, but he considered her to be everything and the most important thing to him. You don’t have to like Reylo or agree with me, but I could go on about how Rey and Kylo/Ben don’t exactly fit the “toxic relationship” boat.

I know we talk about “I’ll be your cage” as a huge moment for JuuSasu but I think we should talk more about the 79 years of eye contact that happened right after Juugo backed off from slamming Sasuke into the wall.

Aemond thought. This is a little random but I think I'd like seeing him with a character like Brienne of Tarth - not conventionally attractive and subject to mockery from her peers, but holds her head up high and can kick ass better than the best of them. Tall, big and strong. Like I could see him meeting her for the first time watching her in a sword fight and kicking ass and he's Intrigued and then it turns out to be a woman and he's even MORE Intrigued. And her having the "all my life men like you have sneered at me, and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust" moment (not to him, but to another man, most likely Daemon and then she'd kick his ass and Aemond would be even more in love with her).

I think it would be a good pair bc they're both similar in a way? Not conventionally attractive (because of his eye and scar), made fun of and bullied, but also rising above it and kicking ass despite what people thought they could do (armond with one eye, her being a woman). And Aemond lowkey... comparing her to Vhagar in his mind? Because she is different than others like her, she's bigger and she looks a certain way, but she's still fierce and glorious and he loves her.

I love that idea too! I definitely imagine Aemond as someone who cares more about what's under the surface in a potential partner. Just because that's what he imagines he needs as well. So there's the draw to each other from feeling like outcasts of a sort.

Yk what I find funny? The reason why Hannibal is not the kind of person Will usually like in the show versus in the book.

In the show, Will has a bad first impression of Hannibal bc he's a psychiatrist and psychiatrists have been disrespectful to Will, treating him like a mere study subject, a curiosity.

Meanwhile in the book it's because Will hates rich people.

And yk, Hannibal is rich.
