The sooner people realize that Reylo is not just a ‘ship’ but rather a trope or concept. The better they will move on. DLF wants nothing to do with this concept except until they realize how monetarily valuable it is. Which shocking they have no clue of despite the NYT best sellers the community has been cranking out the last 3 years. Only then will they revisit this trope.
They won’t give us Ben Solo back, but they’ll use the Reylo trope for Lord only knows what. So I highly suggest to all of the people who are still holding out hope of Ben’s return. To just accept his senseless lazily written death and pretend that he got Sailor Moon’d into another universe where he gets to be loved and so that he heals.
I wouldn't say it's 'a' trope, it's a few dozen tropes. I call it 'The Dynamic' because I have a lot of ships which fit into a rough framework of similar themes, but they're all tonally different and have different storytelling concerns or occupy different genres. The kind of psychological complexity plus innocence, intimate emotional realism plus grand mythological symbolic splendour that Reylo has is extremely rare. There aren't stories being told like that very often. This was a generational opportunity to make something that would last, a defining pop culture moment.
Whereas The Dynamic is extremely popular and does pop up fairly often, it's VANISHINGLY RARE for it to be a) in a story with the balls to fulfil it and have it be redemptive/healing with both characters surviving b) for it to be both intentional and earnest on the part of the writers, not an accident or some cautionary tale bullshit or simply depicted as inevitably a tragedy.
Women write this story with an affirming ending all the time, but it mostly stays in the romance ghetto. When it pops up in the mainstream everyone loses their minds, so you'd think we'd have had someone realise by now it's a money printing machine but lol misogyny. Just like Hollywood has completely stopped making romcoms and no one wants to cater to the female audience despite the female audience being the biggest movie-going demographic and romance being the most profitable genre in publishing by a huge margin.
Disney are cowards who seem increasingly terrified of romance and I doubt they will do anything with the dynamic unless they happen to hire a real artist who wants to do it and they just stay out of the way. Which seems unlikely given how things have been going.
#tropes#I don't accept his death I don't accept any part of tros#that's what people should do#reject the whole fucking mess go back to TLJ and write your own ep IX#whether only in your daydreams as a fic or as a novel with the serial numbers filed off you then sell for cash#I guarantee yours will be better#and you deserve to get paid for it more than DLF does

#star wars#simon kinberg#i know he has a mixed history with other franchises but#this is reminding me of when they dropped Michael Arndt from Episode VII#and got JJ Abrams to make the safest SW movie for Disney as possible#the fact these movies will be part of the Skywalker saga despite it supposedly ending with Ep IX says it all really

I love the snide tone with which Jenny says "weird lumpy head"

My least favorite thing about IX is how in attempt to keep a Han Solo comparison with Poe, they gave him a dark last as a drug smuggler
oh yeah that shit sucked and like I said it’s a horrible movie I just personally had the most fun watching it out of the three
#asks#like tfa is fine it just felt. idk it wasn’t as enjoyable#like ep ix sucks but it was entertaining. idk like I said I know this is a bad opinjon

@taliaromanova: Arden and Caerus call him "dada" obviously because they are Babies, and then he becomes "daaaaad" but said like an obnoxious teenager would. Alonna calls him Orion because "hunter from the stars" 🖤 (or Master Skywalker if they're fighting) ...Nata calls him a pain in the ass xo // accepting
STOOPPP THE BABIES SO TRUE 🥺❤❤ the master skywalker bit is funny to me because you just KNOW he hits back with "if you're looking for my father or grandfather i suggest you keep looking" and that's exactly why i love it actually. and orion sksksk please that's so poetic. he doesn't think he's all that, much less deserving of such a powerful nickname.
and nat can keep calling him whatever she likes ☝ he's just very amused.
#taliaromanova#answered.#ooc. is it meemees?#headcanon.#and when i yell abt their little family post ep ix what then

i am still so passionate about rey & finn. like the intimacy and anxiety of finn holding his friend as he died contrasted with the sweeping epic shots of the emptiness rey lived in & the trauma & loneliness that represented for them

Hey, this is The Acolyte Reylo Dynamic anon again. I haven’t seen the show but I saw people raving about it on Twitter. So the dynamic appears to be between Amandla Stenbergs character and the villain revealed to be played by Manny Jacinto. Both have good chemistry from the 2 second gif I saw, but I expect NOTHING good to come out of this. And when they played Kylo’s theme they straight up played it. They were even trying to be subtle about it.
I know absolutely nothing about the show, the only thing I've seen is like two screencaps of the villain guy. And he is indeed hot except for that tragic moustache, but no man has ever been hot enough that I would forget about tros.
#other hot men are available#and if you just want standard etl without the full reylo package it's not actually that hard to find#you guys should watch kdrama#honestly if this is genuinely them trying to pander to the reylos that only makes me more annoyed#we've already ruined Rey and deleted Ben so here's something that looks kinda similar#we will never admit we were wrong or acknowledge the STILL CANON main couple of the ST but please continue to give us money#like they broke the sw universe already- it is unfixable#people are getting mad at me now for having the same exact opinion I've always had#I said before tros came out that killing Ben would break the story- not just the ST but the entire saga- and it did#the only way to still have the sw I love is to completely ignore dlf's existence#and either imagine my own ep IX or disregard the ST entirely

#listen #listen. #the what could have been of finn vs kylo ren #finn explicitly a stolen child with no past leading a revolution against the forces of darkness #opting out of an evil regime he had no choice in serving#teaming up with an abandoned child given nothing to hope for but survival #rising against the heir of a ''chosen one'' #a mythological figure who did not fulfill that destiny but fell to the darkness within himself #until shown compassion and love #that heir being raised by rebels and generals and jedis and LEADERS for choice and optimism #opting INSTEAD of his OWN VOLITION to succumb to the same darkness that swallowed his ancestor #not understanding that that man was saved in the end by light and love #chosing power over all else #like #THAT IS A CLASSIC STORY OF HUBRIS #choosing to abandon that arc in favor of a dyad and the shock of #somehow palpatine returned #will never not make my eyes do a liz lemon roll directly into my skull
reylos crying on twitter because Adam Driver explicitly confirmed that Bendemption was never originally in the plans for Kylo....this is justice for the last 8 years, actually
#star wars#sequel trilogy#of the many many many sins of those movies the level of dirtiness done to finn is easily the worst#but it still fucking blows my mind that they just...made three movies with no real plan#i was not a fan of the last jedi but it still could've gone somewhere had ep ix been about anything other than desperate (awful) fanservice#and that's 'cause they lived 'em ted!#that's 'cause they lived the star wars!

for anyone wondering whether i've caught up with geats yet, the answer is no, and i do not feel like doing so anytime soon
#random#i need a break from riders#checked the tag on twtr and e/one's going crazy over latest ep#inevitably end up seeing ppl comparing it to saber#and going how geats ix is an improvement on xross saber bla bla bla#takahashi heads really likes to dump on ghost/saber don't they#<- prolly just my own feelings#ig i'm just tired#currently staying away from it#i have replaced my nichiasa fix with jisariz#it's wonky but it's refreshing#also i'm currently watching stronger#my brain and me

This is a really good fight, but I'm a bit worried considering how evenly matched they are.
