Can jesus hold Kylo Ren/Ben Solo? He could use a good hug

Today, Jesus is holding:

Kylo Ren from Star Wars

+ ben swolo because i thought it was funny

[scooterpengie]

😁😁

[sparrowseagles]

surely this has been pointed out before but one of the best ship dynamics is this:

character A sends every email with the "sent from my iPhone" bit at the end. they just don't fkn care, or may not even be aware that it's there.

character B would rather die than send an email from a phone, let alone leave the "sent from my iPhone" sentence

[syn0vial]

too many posts in the astarion tag like, "if you like astarion, it's only bc you liked [some dude character i don't give 2 shits about] first 😏"

[resurgentclass-stardestroyer]

"Kylo Ren's super secret playlist ;3;🤫😝" and it's just the entirety of The Downward Spiral

[kylo-skywalkerr]

:P

I've been toying with art styles and wanted to draw a grumpy baby Ben.

[marklikely]

the sw sequel trilogy debates will literally never end. no matter what how much new vindication for us tlj haters piles up, the battlelines are going to stay exactly where they always were. people who think kylo ren was supposed to be the main character vs people who care about literally anything else.

Problematic Fave Competition Round 1C

The reviews are in!

Edelgard: warcrimes are temporary, pretty girl lasts forever!

Kylo Ren: so much symbolism in his character!

[saiditallbefore]

I'm so puzzled by the idea that people pick their fave characters based on who we personally would like to fuck? Like, no, these people are all objectively hot messes and some of them are a gender that I am not at all attracted to!!! I just think they're neat!

[runraerun]

when they actually die:

i love this character so much......i hope they get seriously injured and almost die

[xylavie]

This is one of my fave kylo commissions back in 2019. This was made for @marlonbookcase !

God I really peaked with art in 2019 huh 😂

Edit: I reblogged Marlon’s post but in case anyone missed it, here’s the link to the fic!!

[bearsspace]

I feel like I haven't posted in YEARS, it's not a new drawing but I really wanted to upload something, so here's an old (REALLY OLD, THIS HAS TWO YEARS) little study I did from one of my faves stills from Kylo, so yeah.

[atla-confessions]

People will call every male character a metaphor for "the female experience" or "female coded" (whatever that means because they just pick the most unlikeable annoying edgy bad boys and say this, I don't know what they think I'm supposed to have deeply in common with Geto or Kylo or fucking Snape??), but when you have a character that has to suppress all her emotions because the misogynistic men in her life have told her to be seen and not heard and who is awkward and hides her emotions behind sarcasm or a false demureness because her father has forced her to do so, who is asked what she wants most in the world and just wants to cuddle in arms she feels a little warmer and freer in and eat something sweet, who doesn't like being screamed at for the crime of "being talked to by a man" but shuts down at an extended fight because she doesn't want to get into it either, who fully expects to just be killed the very first time in her life she ever acts out, she's called a fake unrealistic unrelatable harpy who has no reason to act or feel any way she does, and actually doesn't even feel anything, and even gets fatshamed by the same feminists who'll call their male faves Honorary Women. Or a girl who gets jealous sometimes or lashes out and says things that go too far in her anger like mocking a blind girl or telling her brother he didn't love their dad mom, because the bond she had with her mother and the guilt she feels for her death and the loss she feels for her father's absence and the starry-eyed awkwardness she has in love especially towards crushes she's scared or losing the same way she lost other loved ones, because she tries to be hopeful and talks about that, because she misses her mom and talks about that, because she has a crush on two nice boys who give her hope and make her feel safe and it goes a bit awkwardly both times, and call her the worst thing ever and even go out of their way to undermine all her drive and post-series accomplishment and life because they hate her for not picking the boy they had a crush on themselves?

The vitriol aimed at Mai and Katara makes me so angry, especially when it comes from Fandom Feminists who'll contort anything they personally like to be feminist and anything they hate to be anti-feminist regardless of logical throughlines. Just had to rant a bit. Phew.

Very few people bothered to find out what S1 Izzy / complex Edward enjoyers were interpreting differently than the "Izzy is Kylo Ren / Ed's his victim" crowd that made us like him in the first place, so it figures that now very few people are bothering to understand what a lot of us are criticizing in S2 while the - shockingly - exact same crowd leads the discussion on how it was a beautiful season and Izzy enjoyers are just incapable of decentering their problematic fave.

And it's once again leading to a barrage of posts lecturing us about why the takes they imagine we hold are wrong and supporting the same toxic fandom atmosphere that aimed to harass us all out for a year and a half. Cool. Glad to see no lessons were learned whatsoever.

Only difference is now we actually might leave, on account of you don't generally put up with extended harassment to support a show you don't even think is being written well. 🤷‍♀️

A multi-fandom selection of some of my fave 2nd person pov fics cuz I’m a huge fan of 2nd person (see: all these 2nd person pov fics I’ve written lol) and I want more people to appreciate it

leftovers by orionauriga/ @orionauriga

They drive you home, every time, both of them. You leave the leftover scraps of their love, the intimacy loaned to you, in the backseat when you get out to kiss them goodnight.

Gorgeous fic inspired by Sue Hyon Bae’s poem “after the threesome, they both take you home”

Fandom: Star Wars

Triptych by antistar_e/ @kaikamahine

The master trains the apprentice. The apprentice kills the master and takes their place. The master takes an apprentice. It is the cycle of things, and the way all those like him do, your Supreme Leader creates his own downfall. He cultivates it, covets it, and it kills him.

It's not you. Of course it's not you.

I don’t actually care about Kylo Ren, but goddamn this fic made me care about him so much

Fandom: Six of Crows

minuet in d major by demigodbeautiies/ @jackwolfes

You wake up on a hot summer day in your tiny, shitty, childhood bedroom, and you realise that it’s here.

Your soulmate just turned twenty.

Made this face 🥺 the entire time I read this one

Fandom: Tian Guan Ci Fu

fortune tellers tell no truths by atomicmuffin

Love, like fate, ask for no man’s permission, may they be priests, princes, of gods. Guessing which path it will take cannot stop either of them from doing whatever they want.

You know this, and yet you try.

I treasure every excellent JunMei fic I find but this one is a particular special gem

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

The best take on Qin Su I’ve encountered so far in this fandom

empty, save you and i by ripeteeth/ @ripeteeth

“Please,” you say, and he likes it when you say it. Crowley, you wretch, you’ve known this forever. You’ve known this all your life.

Beautifully written, absolute poetry, every sentence goes so hard it’s insane

Fandom: Dungeon Meshi

A Body by murg

Laios wants to fly.

A beautiful and visceral fic that I want to eat (appropriate for Dungeon Meshi right 😂)
