#safe rey solo

[askbensolo]

Holos from when I graduated from University of Naboo last year! (Class of 28 ABY; Journalism major; Galactic Policy and Nonhuman Studies double minor.)

Rey made fun of me for wearing “a dress.” So I made fun of her for actually wearing a dress (Mom made her wear it).

Heh. Good times, good times.

[beautyinsteadofashes]

made some covers for my WIPs 😊❤️

happy to make some for other people aswell

Let me be clear.

Ellen's age is never stated in the Nosferatu movie. Even less so when she met Orlok.

It doesn't even say how many years passed between her meeting with Orlok and her meeting with Thomas in fact.

The term child is also often alternated with simply young in the movie.

Ellen's age is therefore intentionally ambiguous whether in the present or the past.

The temporality of the movie is also intentionally ambiguous.

Therefore, yes, you can interpret Ellen as being a literal child at the time she met Orlok if you want, but it is actually more likely that the words child and young are just used to express the fact that Ellen was young (not necessarily a child for our time or the era of the movie) with no real life experience and or simply naive at the time. Not that she was literally a child / a little girl.

It's common in movies and in various shows. When a character says themselves to have been a child, it doesn't mean that they literally / officially were ! Shit !

House of the Dragon is a very good example with Rhaenyra telling Daemon in episode 7 of season 1 that he abandoned her when she was only a child, knowing that she was canonically 19 years old when Daemon gone and that in addition we are in the feudal era, where you can marry very young (even before having your first period) and that the majority is 16 years old for girls officially.

I say it again, if the movie was supposed to show Ellen as a child without ambiguity, the temporality would have been clearer, the ages would have been clearly stated, and especially the actress would not have been the same for the opening scene.

Oh, and the film crew would also talk about this very important detail of Ellen who would have been a child when she met Orlok, except that no, generally speaking, they too simply use the term young to designate her at that time.

I'm tired of seeing people try to pretend that it's 100% true that Ellen was a little girl when she met Orlok. No, it's not true.

Officially, it's 50 / 50.

But unofficially, it's a safe bet that since the film's timeline is blurry, that the terms child and young are often alternated in the film and that the film crew from what I saw only used the term young to designate Ellen at the time she met Orlok, well that these terms in the film are there to simply reflect Ellen's naivety at the time she met Orlok, and was simply not yet married.

Knowing that in the Victorian era, a woman is generally still treated like a child while being married, I'll let you imagine when she simply wasn't...

Especially since I recall that Orlok represents Ellen's sexual awakening.

Generally translating in fiction for female characters concerned by the "sexual awakening" aspect of the female character's entry into her real life as a woman with her who therefore leaves the world of childhood. It's a classic. And the female character still doesn't need to be a literal child for this type of scenario.

Reylo in Star Wars is a very good example of that, with Rey experiencing a passage to adulthood thanks to her meeting with her soul mate and sexual awakening Kylo Ren / Ben Solo (the same thing happens on Kylo Ben side by the way).

Or again with Shuri and Namor in Wakanda Forever, Shuri experiencing a sexual awakening thanks to the character of Namor who will symbolically make her grow up, go from child to adult (while officially in age she is already an adult, but not emotionally / on a symbolic level).

So the fact that there is ambiguity about whether Ellen was a child or just young when she met Orlok could also just fit into this category of fictional trope. Namely, Orlok was the character made to allow Ellen to grow in various ways symbolically.

The fact is that Ellen could very well have been a teenager, young or more or less old (remember that at that time women were marriageable at 13 years old, the historical context is important) or already a young woman when she met Orlok. We can't know 100% but I would lean much more towards the second option, since the question of age is never really on the front of the stage in the film (ans Ellen is still considered as young in the film in the current time frame. Von franz literally referred to Ellen as a child in the scene when he first meets her and she is tied up. This is just further evidence that child or young is not a literal reference as Ellen is clearly not a child and married at the time), and not a real factor for the Orlok & Ellen relationship and especially his heart.

People try to create this classic scenario of the adult Orlok targeting a child Ellen to manipulate her as he pleases.

Except that's not the case.

Orlok wasn't interested in Ellen because she was young and easily manipulated. He was interested in her because she was like him, not of the living world, and she called to him. She is the enchantress who brought him into this world. They are connected by destiny. She brought him into this world and only she can take him out of it.

Orlok represents what society restricts in Ellen and prevents her from expressing. Her true desires that were considered evil in a woman at the time.

Seeing Orlok as Ellen's abuser from childhood to adulthood doesn't work on the overall message of the film.

Orlok is not Ellen's real abuser, but the society around her is.

It's all just told in a monstrous way because we're in a horror film who telling a gothic romance.

That was my rant.

MASTERLIST

You had known rafe since you were tots and he made it his life mission to be noticed by you, for all the wrong reasons. When he pushed you into the gravel and you scraped your knee, pointing in his direction when the teacher asked who did this. When he stole your ice creams or planted your face into them when you licked. When you got older and he settled for giving you dirty looks, beating up any male friend in your life (safe to say they didn’t look in your direction afterwards), rubbing higher test grades in your face, anything for you to notice him.

You tried to pinpoint it down to something, but you just couldn’t. You had never had a problem with anyone…. Ever. Except for rafe who’s eyes had never softened for you. It confused you and somewhat hurt and most of all wanted his approval, maybe a chance to slap him. Again, confusing.

But then came Dan. He was nice to you, you had a few classes in common and most important, for some insane reason he wasn’t running even after rafe talked to him, probably about how annoying and frustrating you are.

It was his birthday, and he had invited most of the year. It was a house party and you said you’d get dropped after dinner.

It took you a while to pick a dress, and even longer to do your hair. But it was all worth it when you arrived and he didn’t even mention how pretty you looked? Okay maybe you could of just come in shorts and a crop top. Unlike your boyfriend who was focussed on his friends, waving his hands around, rafe was sitting on a couch in the room one over, boring holes into your bare skin. You’re eyes flickered from your drink back to him every few seconds nervously, awkwardly standing beside Dan.

Now you were really regretting this dress, because rafe was making you feel insecure. The only time his eyes would leave your body was when he lifted the red solo cup to his lips.

The music was so loud, that was probably why Dan didn’t reply when you said you were gonna go to the kitchen to make another drink. Much to your appeasement the kitchen was empty, bottles spread over the island countertop as you walked around, filling your cup with tap water.

The door creaked behind you, a small hum of music pouring in until it shut again. You lifted a hand to your forehead, downing the water and refilling your cup. Turning back around and meeting a polo shirt wearing boy enclosing you into the counter.

“What is this y/n? You’re at a Party? You’re at a Party with him!” His arm swings in the direction of your boyfriend, exploding instantly as you attempt to move backwards into the counter, pushing into it to escape the feeling of your bodies touching.

“I didn’t do anything wrong… I’ve never done anything wrong! I’m so sweet, and you’re so mean! and I don’t know why!” You stared up at him squeaking. Cheeks going flushed.

“When you gonna ditch that stupid?” He scoffed “it’s me you should be seein’” he scoffed, somehow moving closer. Wrapping an hand around the back of your neck as he lowered his face to plant a wet kiss on your neck.

You gasped softly, what the hell.

“Understand this, been liking you since I was small.” He muttered in between soft kisses as you bit back a sly moan.

“You have?” You whispered over the background music, arms behind your back.

“And think about you almost all the time… all the time” he grounded, his kiss going higher, sucking your jaw line.

“Think about you too rafe” his kisses shortened, planting them frequently. And then he rocked your world forever putting his sweet kiss kiss on your lip lips. “Mm now baby” he groaned into your lips, hands holding your head, brushing rogue hair behind your ears as you tasted him.

Rafe Cameron, the one boy you could always count on to hate you, was kissing you, and you were liking it.

post-stasis Kix falling for a resistance member who is determined to preserve and archive everything.

A Picture's Worth 1000 Words

Summary: The Empire destroyed so much information when they came into power, information that remains lost to this day. And so, when the First Order started it’s slow creep into power, you swore to yourself that it wouldn’t happen again. That you would remember, even if no one else wanted to.

Pairing: Post-Stasis Kix x GN! Reader

Word Count: 1269

Warnings: None, really.

A/N: Alright, so I kind of took Legends and smooshed it together with Canon. So, I mentioned Jaina and Jacen Solo in the story, but Rey, Fin, and Poe are also mentioned. Kylo Ren doesn't exist, but only because Jacen is right there, and in legends he falls. The Reader, in this case, is a Jedi who was raised at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy alongside the Solo twins.

You release a happy hum under your breath as you sit on a stone wall, and flip through the photo album in your hands.

Well, it’s more of a scrapbook, since there are also carefully written blurbs about who the people are in the picture and what is happening. But a scrapbook is even more important than just the pictures. Because it means that there’s context!

And, this is just your most recent scrapbook, you have three others that are safely stored in your room. They’ve also been digitally scanned and saved in seven different locations.

Excessive? Maybe.

But the First Order seems to be Empire-lite, and the Empire destroyed so much history—

You shake your head, trying to physically shoo away the depressing thoughts of the past, as you close your scrapbook with a snap.

This one is done.

All you have to do is scan it in and save it to different places, which you can do before bed tonight, and then you’ll be able to move on to the fifth scrapbook. Or maybe you’ll make something else.

Scrapbooking is expensive, and the Resistance doesn’t exactly pay well. Especially for Jedi like people like you.

“You look like you’re working hard,” A familiar voice rips you from your musing, and your head snaps to the side. A bright grin crosses your face when you see who’s standing there.

Kix.

Formerly a Medic in the Clone Army, and currently a part-time bounty hunter, and someone you’re proud to call your best friend.

“You’re back!” You set the scrapbook to the side and jump to your feet, “How was your mission?”

“Uneventful,” Kix shrugs one shoulder, “Which is how I prefer my missions, to be honest.” He walks over to you and sits on the wall you abandoned, immediately grabbing the scrapbook and flipping it open. “How have things been here?”

“Same as ever.” You sit back on the wall and lean against his side, peering over his shoulder at the book, “Poe adopted a former Stormtrooper. General Solo wants you to talk to him, get to know him. You know.”

“Yeah? Why’s that?”

You reach over and flip a page to the one showing Fin, “Something about how you two might have more in common than you might think.” You shrug, “He’s a nice guy. Told me about how Poe gave him his name. I guess, before now, all he had was a number? FN...something.” You drop your head to his armored shoulder, “Sound familiar?”

“A bit too familiar.” Kix replies wryly, staring at the pictures for a moment, and then he closed the book and glances at you, “What else is new?”

“Mm...Jaina has two new apprentices, Fin and his friend, Rey. She’s thrilled. They’re being mentored by Master Skywalker, at least.” You list off your fingers, “Leia and Han are still hoping that Jacen can be convinced to come back to the light and that he’ll leave the First Order. Oh, and Jaina has recently decided that she doesn’t have a twin.”

“So she’s handling this whole thing like a champ.” Kix says sarcastically.

You shrug, “Avoiding uncomfortable topics seems to be standard practice for the Solo family.”

“And the Skywalker one.” Kix bumps your shoulder with his, “As much as I appreciate the rundown, I was kind of hoping for more on you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. What’s new with you?”

“You know I’m the most boring person to walk on any planet, Kix.” You reply with a shake of your head, “Nothing’s new with me.”

Kix hums thoughtfully, “You know,” He starts, almost absently, “After I was thawed, you were right there with me the whole time. Helping me navigate the new galaxy I came into.”

“Right? Of course. What kind of monster would I be if I let you do it alone?”

Kix smiles at you and lightly taps your forehead, “We’re listening, now.”

You grin at him and make the motion of zipping your lips, before motioning for him to continue.

“As I was saying,” He continues, “I owe you so much. More than I can put into words. But I also know that I don’t offer as much support as I could—” You open your mouth to argue with him, but he presses his hand over your lips, “I’m a bad friend, and I want to make up for it.”

“You’re not though!” You say, your voice muffled by his hand.

“You grew up with the Solo twins,” Kix says flatly, “You’ve known them since you were all in the single digits. You went to the new Jedi Academy together. Has anyone asked you how you’re doing with the Jacen situation?” He asks pointedly.

You recoil without meaning to. “I’m fine.” It’s the same thing you say whenever Jaina asks how you’re holding up. What you say when Master Luke asks if you’re okay.

It’s a safe answer.

Kix doesn’t believe you. It’s written on his face, plain as day.

“Really. Because your nearly obsessive desire to document everything suggests differently.”

“That’s—”

“The First Order isn’t the Empire.” Kix says firmly, “They’re not going to get as much of a hold on the Republic as the Empire did because they don’t have a Palpatine.”

“No, they just have Jacen Solo, the son of two war heroes and the nephew of Luke Skywalker.” You counter bitterly.

Kix leans back slightly, “And there it is. You know, repressing what you’re feeling isn’t healthy.”

“I’m fine.” You repeat.

“I don’t believe that.” Kix takes your hands in his and squeezes gently, “And neither do Leia or Luke. They contacted me and asked me to come and talk to you.”

Your jaw drops, “They what?”

“They’re worried. Understandably so.” Kix scans your face for a moment, “And so am I.”

You shake your head, “I’m fine, Kix.”

“You’re not, but you will be.” He rubs his thumbs over the back of your hands, and there’s a look on his face that you’ve never seen before, “Luke has asked me for a favor, to go to Tython and see what, if anything, we can learn about the Jedi order. I want you to come with me.”

“...why?”

“A, because I’m not a Jedi and I might miss something, B, I like spending time with you, and C, you need to step away from the Resistance for a little bit.”

“Okay, so first of all. You’ve never missed a thing in your life.”

“Agree to disagree. Will you come with me?”

“You hate sharing your ship with other people.” You point out.

Kix scoffs, loudly, “As if you’re other people. Be serious.”

“You know, at this rate, I’m going to start thinking you’re in love with me.” You reply with a roll of your eyes.

“Would that be so bad?”

Your eyes snap to his face, “Wait, what?”

He just grins at you and jumps to his feet, before he offers you his hand, “You heard me, cyar’ika.”

“You can’t just say it like that!” You sputter, your face burning. “Like it’s something easy.”

“It’s the easiest thing ever.” Kix leans in and takes your hand to pull you to your feet, “Loving you is easy. And I’m done trying to hide it. Now, come on. We need to tell Leia that you’re coming with me.”

“I didn’t actually agree—”

“But you’re gonna.” Kix says smugly.

“...you’re a dick, sometimes.”

“True. And yet, you still love me.”

And, at that, you huff and avert your gaze, refusing to answer him. But then, you don’t have to. After all, you’d follow him anywhere and everyone knows it.

1. Intro:

Hiii!!! - I am a cis woman in my late 20s who is a Terrifier enthusiast. I am bisexual with a preference for women, and I am diagnosed autistic/adhd +. (I wont be yappin much about this as it gets exhausting to restrict my humanness to labels of any kind.)

This blog is multi-fandom/selfship/yumeship primarily with Sienna Shaw from the Terrifier series. I started self shipping myself with her during Terrifier 3, but I will from time to time reblog some stuff from Terrifier 1 + 2. I also self ship with my other F/Os, though not as much. This is a NSFW blog, so please be 18+. Mostly this is just a chill safe space for me to gush mainly about my yandere women boyfriends and occasionally my baby boy wives.

This is also a safe space for all of MY hyperfixations. I do not exist to appease you and your tastes or opinions; if you don’t like that, don’t interact. I won’t list all my fandoms, but I enjoy many video games, shows, movies, animes, mangas, horror/gore, fantasy, and science fiction medias. Fiction is often my way to cope and express myself so be mindful of that while interacting with me.

——————————————————————————————————

2. About me:

I like the 80s, anime, writing, making music, oil painting, thrifting, dark room + analog photography, and drawing expressionism portraits. I have a weird obsession with clowns. I play a lot of Overwatch, Fortnite, Phasmophobia, Pokemon, and Stardew Valley (I play other things but I play a lot of those). My favorite author is Iain M Banks (I have the entire culture series collection), and my favorite book genre is sci-fi, though I also enjoy poetry, classics, memoirs, mangas, and theology. I am bias to female solo artists like Grimes or Lana Del Rey (fave artist), but I also love 80s, witch house, and necrotrap. I enjoy horror franchises like American Horror Story, FNAF, Terrifier, and Halloween. I love Attack on Titan and I am currently collecting the manga box sets. I also enjoy Game of Thrones, but hate what they did to Daenerys. :,) (I will grieve forever). Thai girls love dramas are also cool :3

I love love love clowns, and if you can’t tell, i’m pretty bias to villains (and or) mentally ill characters. Of course I studied psychology as a result -.- …

Moreover, anything that I post about is fiction. I am not listing all of my ideologies here either, but just know that I believe that everyone deserves freedom, acceptance, peace, and lack of violence/bullying - even the people you don’t like. That being said, I DO NOT agree with any real harm towards others, especially children and animals. Keep that far away from me. Other than that, I have no dni. It’s your life, you do what you want with it. Oh and by the way, I know these mfs aren’t real - that’s the point. Don’t be weird or make this distressing for me.

3. About my self insert (Sunny Joy Clover):

(Warning, Terrifier [1,2,3] spoilers ahead)

Lore:

T1. - Sunny (my Terrifier s/i) grew up on an affluent farm with her loving mother and her controlling father. In an attempt to get away from familial dysfunction, Sunny's mom moved them to the suburbs. Sunny's mom befriended Sienna's canon aunt Jess Shaw a year after moving to the suburbs (much to her dad's dismay), as he heard about the "trouble" that the Shaw family brings. The move happened the year before Art became active in the area in movie 1. Sienna and Sunny first meet that summer before Art begins to terrorize Sienna. Timeline wise, think of this as the Terrifier 1, before we meet Sienna on screen in the 2nd movie. They spend a bit of time here and there hanging out, but not much. Sunny is mostly seen as a family "friend".

T2. - By the 2nd Terrifier movie, Sunny begins babysitting Sienna's younger cousin Gabby for some extra money. It's that summer that Sienna and Sunny grow even closer. That is until Sienna is sent to a psychiatric hospital (cannon) towards the end of the second movie. She's there for 5 years, until the T3 movie. During that time away, Sunny writes to her for years. In between releases, they tend to hang out and share deep talks. Sienna grows semi-affectionate towards Sunny, as she's the only one that really listens to her. Sienna also sends Sunny these drawings from her sketchbook and entries from her diary. However, Sunny stops writing back just before her 18th birthday. Leading up to this, Sunny is the only one that takes the time to try and understand Sienna. She spends a lot more time with her than the other people in her life who genuinely seem disinterest and "burdened" by her problems.

T3. - Five years later during Terrifier 3 (canon time jump), Sunny's 18th birthday approaches. Sienna is excited because it's the first birthday in a long time that they get to spend together. However, Sunny mysteriously disappears into the hell pit, where she later finds Gabby (who canonically disappears in the hell pit at the end of T3.) Sienna feels sad about Sunny's absence, and assumes she must be better off without her (heartbreaking.)

T4. (TBD) - In the 4th movie (yet to be released), I assume Sienna at least rescues Gabby. However, she also finds Sunny - with nobody having any idea why she was wanted down there in the first place (to be continued.) If they kill my man, I will riot !!!

Family Background: Her mother is named Garden Jane Clover and her father's name is Rain Walter Clover. She has a younger brother named Cloudy who died on Easter Sunday when he was 4 because he drowned - in relation to me irl, this is symbolic of the trauma l began to experience around 3-4, although not written in an entirely personal way. It is written in a way that is expressed through the character in her own original way. Like me, however, this impacts how she relates to love and intimacy. It affects how she makes friends and trusts others moving forward.)

Both Sunny and Sienna can relate to one another, and Sienna deeply understands just how significant taking things slow with Sunny is. She wants to be the one person who doesn't hurt her or judge her for showing up how she is. She'd never leave Sunny the way other people have.

Sunny wouldn't push Sienna away because she shuts down. Sienna would encourage Sunny to let go of those who hurt her, and in return Sunny would teach Sienna how to hold onto what truly matters without sacrificing herself.

Likes: Music, pink, baby blue, yellow, legos, Peter Pan, pirate ships, circuses, victorian dresses, blue jean 90s overalls, bunnies, duckling (pet named Tulip), picnics, tea parties, Alice in Wonderland, horror movies, balloons (especially the orange and purple ones), animatronics like FNAF/Chuck-E-Cheese (idk why but this makes sense), spiders, gummy worms, rainbows, the 4th of july and halloween, clowns, butterflies, stuffed animals, The Sound of Music movie, baking fresh cookies.

Dislikes: Rain, winter (but likes Christmas), fear of water (often seen in a rain coat just in case), sports, ice cream, eating meat, snow, anything that can melt, the color grey, concerts, lady bugs, popcorn ("prefer jelly beans and potato chips during a movie"), rollercoasters, busy cities.

Appearance: Literally me lol - but think lots of clown core/kid core aesthetics. I try to make us very similar, but different enough to be able to insert her into the Terrifier universe comfortably. I like bringing my character to life and writing little quirks that make her “her”.

The Only One

Episode 7

prev | Fic Masterlist | My Masterlist | next

Summary: The last time you saw Poe was right before he blew up Starkliller Base - a huge victory for the Resistance. Things go to hell after that and you are separated from Poe, needing to rely on your instincts...and the Force. A huge secret starts to be revealed.

a/n: This Episode glosses over the events in the film The Last Jedi. You don't have to be knowledgeable about the sequel films to continue the story - everything that relates to Elia is summarized here. She is a bit separate from Poe during film events, so this is not a re-telling.

Pairing: Poe Dameron x female original character. Fic is written in second person, but the female "you" has a name (It reads basically the same as any other xreader)

Word Count: 1.6k

Content: violence, action, little angst (no more than in the films), not beta'd

PREVIOUSLY on "The Only One"...

He turned around one more time, granting you another sweet smile. “Wait for me, Ells. I’ll be right back.”

Somehow his humor and good nature gave you hope. Poe always gave you hope.

“May the Force be with you,” you whispered to no one really. Or, to all of them.

The next week was hell.

Which was, perhaps, what a demon like yourself deserved.

At first, the Resistance buzzed with the thrill of victory. Poe and his team destroyed Starkiller Base after Rebel legends Han Solo and Chewbacca worked together with the stormtrooper who defected and a young woman named Rey.

But before you could celebrate or have much of a reunion with Poe, the stormtrooper, who you learned was named Finn, was sent to medical in critical condition, while Rey supposedly flew away to find Luke Skywlaker.

Kylo Ren had murdered Han Solo.

You thought taking out Starkiller Base would give the Resistance a huge advantage in the uphill battle against the First Order, but the New Republic had suffered tremendous losses, crippling, if not obliterating support for the Resistance.

Your assignment kept you apart from Poe for days, so you hadn’t seen him since that fateful moment directly before the Starkiller Base battle.

...where he kissed you and asked you to wait for him.

So many had been lost since then - the chaos, nonstop. After the most recent attack took out most of Resistance command, someone named Holdo took over.

You were dying to see Poe, desperate to see for yourself that he was okay. Every time something else exploded, you felt sure you’d receive a report of his death. The stress piled up as you worked separately from Poe, thinking he might die, or you might die.

To make a desperate situation worse, the attack on the ship's bridge left Leia seriously wounded. And directly before Holdo took command, Poe was demoted, which infuriated you.

And, aside from the fact that you were (thankfully) able to focus, or hyper focus, as it were, on computer programming and other computer tech needs, the news of Commander Dameron's demotion was all you could think about...

...or talk about.

Thankfully, Perrha was with you for the past few days and was a wonderful grounding force for you.

Now, the Resistance was trying to safely land transports on the planet Crait.

Everyone watched in horror as one after the other, the First Order blew them out of the sky. You kept yourself busy working, tears streaming down your face at the thought of Poe being on one of those obliterated ships.

Poe felt the same way.

After maybe the worst week of his life (aside from when his mom died), Poe woke up from the little nap Leia's stun gun gave him. He listened patiently as Leia explained Holdo's plan, then watched in horror as transport after transport was obliterated.

"Where's Elia?" He asked Leia, as if she might somehow know. He had lost too many today, not only on the bridge, but when some of his closest friends died in the hangar explosion.

Leia shook her head, unsure.

Poe stared out into space. "Which one is she on?" He murmured, thankful that his new friend Finn was at least safe for the moment. Hopefully.

The planet's surface was so close. You and Perrha might make it through this. But who could be sure what awaited you on Crait, with the First Order bearing down hard?

As you entered the planet's atmosphere, the transport closest to yours exploded - near enough to your own that the blast and debris wreaked havoc. You were taking serious damage - hit hard enough to crash, just not to explode instantly like the neighboring transport.

Everyone around you was astoundingly calm, focused and professional, but a crash landing would not be avoidable.

Perrha's eyes met yours frantically as fire, debris and smoke filled the transport.

"We're not gonna make it," they gasped, coughing from all the smoke.

Panic gripped your heart. You didn't want to die. For once in your life, you really wanted to live and not just in terms of survival. You wanted to help the Resistance. You wanted them to win. You needed to learn about the Force, and ascertain from Leia if you were truly doomed to be a servant of the darkness.

Perrha was your friend and so was Poe. Your very best friend. Your heart broke as you thought of never seeing him again. It couldn't end this way.

So instead of giving in to despair, you opened yourself up to the flow of energy - no. The Force. A wall of fire swept through the transport.

"No." Your voice could barely be heard over the commotion. It wasn't a plea but a command.

Perrha cried out your name as you stretched out your hands and literally pushed the fire backward.

Your breathing steadied, your countenance - a mask of serenity. Your eyes fluttered closed as the Force surrounded you, flowed through you.

The fire would not touch you. Nor Perrha.

The remaining Resistance fighters watched from their transports, in awe, as a transport-on-fire gently touched down on the planet's surface.

You heard nothing. You only felt.

Calm.

Finally, you heard Perrha screaming your name. "This thing is gonna blow, come on!" They quite literally jerked you away - your boots thumping on the planet's surface as you ran for your life.

The ship exploded, knocking the survivors to the ground with a concussive force - dangerous, but not fatal.

Your ears rang, dusty salt filled your lungs, but Perrha hauled you up. You ran again, as fast as you had ever in your life.

The First Order had entered the planet's atmosphere and took up position at the mine entrance - the old Rebel base. Unfortunately, your transport's crash left you quite far away on foot. But thankfully, the First Order would assume your exploded crash site would leave no survivors - giving you time to run.

A battle raged overhead and in the distance. Blaster and cannon fire, and boot prints turned the ashy, salty surface blood red.

Your group finally made it to the mine, but there was no getting in the front entrance. The huge blaster door was sealed, but under heavy attack.

"Is there another way in?" You wondered aloud.

"Is there another way out?" Perrha countered, panicked. "Are they trapped in there?"

Your ragtag team rallied, determined to find a way to either get in to the safety of the mine, or help the remaining Resistance fighters escape, if they were trapped.

Suddenly you saw an old rust bucket ship zoom overhead and land at the edge of a shallow cliff.

Your team arrived just in time to see a young woman...making dozens of piles of rocks...float. This action served to clear a blocked path, allowing the Resistance fighters to escape the mine.

You saw the stormtrooper, Finn. The young woman must be Rey. You were so distracted by her dazzling display of the Force, that you almost didn't notice that just beside Finn...

was Poe.

Finn raced into Rey's arms for a hug, but it was Poe who noticed your ash-covered, singed, rag-tag crew, confused, for a moment, as to why you would have appeared with Rey.

"Elia," he breathed, pushing his way past anyone and everything in his path, including the huge boulders Rey had lifted moments before.

You were an adorable mess, most of your hair had tumbled out of your twin buns. Soot tarnished your cheeks and clothes. By some miracle your unlaced boots stayed in place while you ran for your life.

As Poe clambered toward you, your hands anxiously grabbed for your backpack straps…only to come up empty.

“M-my backpack,” you gasped, frantically touching your arms and chest.

Okay, people were dead.

Your transport crashed and exploded.

You only survived because you wielded the Force and ran for your life.

The First Order was bearing down.

Poe was alive!

But your brain?

“My backpack,” you repeated, desperately, craving the familiar soothing touchstone of its frayed straps.

“Here, sweetheart,” Poe gently offered, reaching for the fallen strap, to pull it back onto your shoulder. “Looks like the other one got burned.”

Which meant…

You grabbed for the other strap urgently, realizing the little pack might have been destroyed, leaving your wings out in the open.

Poe, so relieved to see you alive, wishing with all his heart that the could throw his arms around you, tried to understand…

“No, no no …” You shook your head, eyes wide with horror.

“Ells?” He asked, confused, holding up his hands in a supplicating manner, trying to show you he wouldn’t touch you if you didn’t want him to. “Baby, are you hurt?”

“I can’t…my backpack,” you gasped, short of breath. “I can’t…” Shaking your head rapidly, you backed away, running into Perrha…who got a look at your exposed back.

“Oh, Elia. A-are you - w-what happened…” they trailed off, glancing at Poe, confused at the sight of your tightly furled, dark wings. Perrha wasn’t sure if you were burned, or what was going on.

“What is it?” He demanded. “Is she hurt?” He reached for your arm to turn you around, but before his hand made contact, you clenched your fists and cried out.

“No!”

…sending tiny bits of rock flying outward from you body in every direction.

This got Rey’s attention.

As far as the young Jedi trainee knew, she and Leia were the only ones capable of this sort of thing.

Poe backed away, stunned, brushing bits of gravel from his face and hair, exchanging worried glances with Perrha, but determined to make sure you were all right.

He thought to approach you, but stopped short at a miraculous sight.

Your hair had tumbled down, beautiful and wild, your eyes closed in concentration.

Hands clenched by your sides, you held yourself still as bits of rock and earth circled you slowly.

And behind you, dark, slick wings unfurled.

Fanfic Rec list for my favorite Reylo~

Part one. I wanted to share my fav's for those who like the same kind of things. A lot of them have controversal tropes, teacher/student relationship, Incest, Dead Dove: do not read, Possessive, Controlling. But there are also more with lighter tones.

(Heads up that I am not listing all of the tags or their warnings just a few tags that explain the fic. Please always check the tags on each fic before you read. Just in case.)

Canon compliant and Canon divergence

Star Wars: Legacy of the Force by BuffShipper : Rated Mature, Graphic depictions of violance, major character death, Smuggler Ben. Dark Rey, Slow burn, Female Finn, Angst/ hurt no comfort, eventual sex. Completed.

The Sequel Trilogy reimagined with smuggler Ben Solo reluctant to take on the family mantle of Jedi in the fight against the mysterious Kira Ren and the diabolical First Order...

Notes: I haven't finished this one yet but I AM LOVING it. It seems at first nothing has changed with Rey and Ben Solo on the opposite side of the war. But there are sutle hints at first.

Accidentally on Purpose by SirenBanshee : Rated Explicit, Rey Palpatine, Dark Rey, Bodygaurd Kylo, Arranged Marriage, Obessive, Possessive behavior, Happily Ever After, Completed.

Kylo Ren has served as loyal bodyguard and mentor to galactic princess Rey Palpatine ever since she was a little girl. But now she’s come of age, and her grandfather wants her to marry and continue the Palpatine line . . . If only her suitors would stop accidentally dying.

Note's: Very tormented Kylo Ren, he clearly wants Rey so bad. So big bonus if you like him pining and going about his feelings in extreme ways.

Dark Visions by Monsterleadmehome : Rated Explicit, Force Vision, Sexual content. One-Shot.

“I had a vision… of the Sith throne. And who was on it.” Rey’s voice falters a little, as scared as she is of what she’s seen—scared and another feeling she doesn’t dare tell Finn.

“Ren,” he assumes.

“And me.”

Note's: Pretty much its the scene of Rey telling Finn she had a vision but she doesn't tell him /All/ of what she saw. LOL

All At Once by Mosterleadmehone : Rated Explicit, Costume party, mask ball, Virgin Rey, Virgin Kylo, One-Shot.

The First Order has taken over the planet Neftali in the Soccoro system. Every year, the town of Cordel Cove hosts a winter carnival that culminates in a masquerade ball. The presence of one Supreme Leader has been requested.

The Resistance has come to Neftali to strike a deal with a shady organization, using the carnival as a distraction. They send Rey to the masquerade to keep an eye on things. After one too many drinks, the masked man all in black catches her eye and asks for a dance. But what will happen when the masks come off?

Note's: Takes place after The Last Jedi with the Resistance running around. IPretty much Rey and Kylo meet back up and lose their virginity to each other. Normally first times aren't my thing but I loved the longing for connection between the two. It's rather sweet.

Au's

The Hatstall by L3tty_B4rro5 : Rated G, Hogwarts-Au, Fluff and angsty, teacher and student relationship, Professor Ben Solo. Completed.

DADA professor Ben Solo is swept off his feet when Rey, a new transfer student from Ilvermorny, arrives at Hogwarts. While trying to understand why she's so captivating to him, he realizes that's not the only mystery he'll have to solve. Rey might have more secrets than he expected and as much as he tries, avoiding her is not an option.

Notes: I didn't see a lot of the twists coming. Rather cute and one of the light hearted fic's on my rec's if you over look the student and teacher attraction.

Two Gold Rings by TheAmberKitten : Rated Mature, Graphic depictions of violance, Werewolves, dystopia, Completed

Anywhere had to be better than Jakku, Rey thought. But if California wasn’t safe, where else could she go?

The two girls looked outside the open door of the train car to watch the desert scenery fly by. There was the sound of howling and Rey observed the outline of what appeared to be a hundred wolves running along the elevated tracks.

She wondered if one of them had golden eyes.

Notes: Rey is force to wander for her own safety with werewolves having taken over. Prefect if you want something bleak and atmospheric.

A Shot at the Night by CaptainCabinets : Rated Explicit, Vampires, mild blood and gore, vampire Ben, Maid Rey, On Going fic.

Rey Johnson needs money and has plenty of blood. Kylo Ren has plenty of money and wants Rey Johnson's blood. They make a mutually beneficial arrangement.

OR

A vampire sugar daddy AU

Notes: This one has to be my favorite of fav's. I live in the same setting as where the story takes place and its very accurate. Rey is a struggling woman and gets swept up in the vampire world to be a blood donor to Ben. But clearly there is a underlying attractions and indepent Rey gets scared. Also heads up its still being worked on.

The Lion's Roar by MurderOfCrowss : Rated Explicit, Rape/Non-con, Graphic depictions of violance, werewolves, A/B/O or Omegaverse, Dead Dove don't eat, Dom Kylo Ren, Submissive Rey, dark HAE, Compeleted.

Rey's day goes from bad to worse when she meets up with a werewolf to pay off her sister's gambling debt. When a simple encounter goes terribly wrong, she finds herself bound to a man she barely knows. Kylo as his pack calls him, doesn't care if she consents or not to their union. Rey will have to find a way to escape or spend the rest of her life trapped by his side.

Note's: This was my first intro to Omega verse so I already have a skew idea of the trope thanks to this fic. It's very intense and pretty adventurous, after Rey is now trapped with Kylo Ren she goes on different life ending adventures. One with a rivial clan of alpha's trying to kill Kylo. And another was some sort of alpha werewolf fighting group. Pretty good if you want action and adventure to your dark romance.

Neighbors With Benefits by ThePuddleJumper : Rated Explicit, Omega verse, Alpha Ben, Omega Rey, enemies to friends, pining, attempted assult, On Going fic.

Rey’s neighbor is the most annoying man she’s ever met. Always too self-absorbed to bother saying hello in the hallway, always taking her favorite parking spot in the garage, always avoiding the building’s social gatherings—didn’t his mother teach him any manners?

But when someone gives the grumpy alpha a rut-inducing drug, Rey decides to help. She may prefer to ignore the frustrating man, but she’s not going to abandon a person in trouble—no matter how aggravating they might be.

Unfortunately, the proposed ‘neighbors with benefits’ solution is complicated. It may seem simple if she just thinks about the biological aspect, but Rey has no interest in having a mate or any long-term relationship. The alpha next door agrees to her terms, but both of them may be signing up for more than they can handle.

And neither considers the risks to their hearts.

Notes: Very protective Ben. The sort of story where Rey justifies trying to keep from falling for her friend with benefit.

The Mail Order Bride by Lazypadawan : Rated Expilicit, Wild west-Au, Fluff and Angsty, Shoot outs, Babies, Eventual Happy Ever After, Not Beta Read, Compeleted.

Rey Niima was a lonely school teacher in 1870s California until she spotted an ad from a miner seeking a bride. She and Ben Solo connect through letters then he proposes and Rey leaves it all behind to join him. But on the way there a gang of masked desperadoes hold up her stagecoach. The wedding goes forward but little does Rey know that her new husband isn't what he seems to be.

Note's: Fun fact the plot is based on a story from the 1800's of a mail order bride. However this one has a happier ending. It's a rather fun adventure.

Modern Au's

Baby Sister by Zoey_Writes : Rated Explicit, Underage, sibling sex, Incest, pregency, mentions of abortion, loss of parents. Ben and Rey are half siblings. Cheating Han Solo. Completed.

Shortly before Ben's sixteenth birthday, he learns that his father has another child, a daughter named Rey, who will be coming to live with them following her mother's death. At first, he hates her, then he tolerates her, and then...

Notes: A whole lot of family drama and the author actually handles the side characters really well. I really got into the history of Leia's family. Ben in this story is the main pov and he actually is rather sweet. The budding friendship between Rey and Ben was refreshing before they actually started to get together. But everything is pretty realistic.

Sometimes a gift is more by Blueyedgurl : Rated Explicit, Incest, Ben and Kylo are twins, Sibling incest, Uncle/niece, parent/child, Mild dubious consent, On Going fic. Locked fic must have an AO3 account.

Rey's Uncle Kylo gives her a bear for her 18th birthday. One squeeze Kylo's voice sing the song he likes to tease her with. A few more and it vibrates...it probably isn't all it does.

Note's: There is some Ben and Kylo stuff going on. It also hasn't been updated for a good while but if you don't mind the four chapters are great.

Smug by infinitegalaxies : Rated Expilict, best friends older brother, Rey's 18, Ben 21, switching POV, Compeleted.

Rey’s crush on her best friend’s brother is finally reciprocated, for better or worse.

Note's: Would have been straight up smut had the happy ever after at the end made it into a rather sweet little tale.

Quija by majesticllamalady : Rated Expilict, Graphic depictions of violance, Major Character death, Rape/ Non-con, Paranormal, dead dove do not eat, Demon Kylo, Horror, No happily ever after, Compeleted.

Rey and her friends have taken up what was supposed to be a harmless hobby of ghost hunting. Tired of coming up empty handed, Poe brings along a Ouiji board this time to encourage a spirit to come forward. Only it wasn't a harmless spirit trapped in the home they've unleashed, but a demonic entity that's finally broken free of its bonds. The demon only wants Rey, and it will have her, but not before it's finished playing with the young college students for daring to mess with paranormal.

Note's: Really a dark Reylo if your into that. It wasn't tagged but I think there is an element of mind fuckry with one dream scene. (Not fuckary in terms of sex but just mind games.) There is such a visual and mood of fear about it. I take it out for Halloween or when I need a good scare. It's only five chapters but gets to the point.

CAPÍTULO 03: LARGA VIDA AL REY.

Ambientación: 19 de Octubre, 16:00 p.m. en adelante.

Clima: Cielo nublado.

Vestimenta: Ropa casual, abrigada. Colores neutros oscuros.

Ha pasado una semana desde el inquietante incidente con los animales. Tal como lo estipula la guía de iniciación del Proyecto, un citatorio semanal llegó puntualmente a los buzones de todos los residentes. Esta vez, la invitación era para una velada sorpresa en honor al cumpleaños del alcalde.

Al leer la nota, una sensación de desconcierto te invade. La falta de explicaciones sobre lo ocurrido y la propuesta de una celebración te parecen fuera de lugar, casi una burla al silencio que pesa sobre la comunidad desde el incidente.

Aunque la idea de celebrar en medio de tanto misterio te incomoda, decides que lo mejor será presentarte, al menos para evitar problemas mayores.

[...]

El sol se oculta tras las colinas, tiñendo el cielo de tonos cálidos, mientras los residentes de Safe Haven caminan por el sendero de árboles otoñales que lleva a la casona del alcalde Benjamin. La antigua casa rústica, con su fachada de piedra envejecida y enredaderas trepando por las paredes, se alza majestuosa al final del camino, rodeada de extensos jardines que resplandecen bajo la suave luz del atardecer.

Dentro, el ambiente es festivo y cálido. La sala principal, con vigas de madera en el techo y muebles de época, está llena de gente que se reúne en pequeños grupos, compartiendo anécdotas y risas a la espera del hombre. Una gran mesa, cubierta con un mantel de encaje, está repleta de bocadillos tradicionales y botellas de vino, mientras que en el centro de la sala se alza una tarta de cumpleaños decorada con esmero.

Benjamin, protagonista de la noche y recién llegado a la celebración, está de pie junto a la chimenea, saludando a cada nuevo invitado con una sonrisa intranquila. A su lado Georiga, su secretaria, golpea una copa para pedir por silencio.

—¡Qué sorpresa verlos a todos hoy! —exclama Benjamin, alzando su copa en un gesto que atrae la atención de todos—. Esta noche es especial para mí, no solo por celebrar otro año de vida, sino por poder compartirlo con cada uno de ustedes, quienes hacen de Safe Haven un lugar tan único.

Los presentes responden con aplausos y miradas silenciosas, y un cálido sentimiento de comunidad se extiende por la sala. Sin embargo hay algo en el semblante del alcalde que no termina de convencer a algunos. Se le nota preocupado y distante, muy distinto a lo común.

—Quiero agradecerles también por su ayuda limpiando las calles del pueblo. Me hubiera gustado recibirlos con actividades más entretenidas y no una ronda de limpieza de calles —dice con una sonrisa afable, recorriendo con la mirada a los presentes—. Espero sepan que algunos habitantes nos hemos reunido para llegar al fondo del problema.

Georgia, de pie a su lado, le da un suave apretón en el brazo, como recordándole su papel ante los demás. Cuando Benjamin vuelve a mirar a los residentes, su mirada refleja un agotamiento que no logra ocultar.

—¡Por favor, siéntanse como en casa! —añade, aunque su tono sugiere que él mismo no lo siente así.

—Sus nombres están escritos en las listas de pareja.

Busca a tu acompañante, elige tu bebida e intenta congeniar con los presentes. La casona del alcalde es famosa por contar con múltiples áreas recreativas que te ayudarán a distraerte del tu nueva vida.

Archivos anexos: Ubicaciones, actividades, grupos de organización y cuidados.

Tipo de desarrollo: Starters públicos.

Duración: 10 días, 23-1 de Noviembre.

Elecciones: Intervenciones secretas.

𝗔𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦

TLDR; Georgia los citó a la casona del alcalde para celebrar su cumpleaños en una fiesta sorpresa. Todos los residentes fueron invitados también a participar en la recaudación de fondos anual en honor a Watts, teniendo que reunir propias de los residentes mayores en equipos. También se les asignó por parejas un adulto mayor al cual acompañar.

En esta actividad usaremos nuevamente la lanzada de dados para ver la cantidad de propinas que reúne cada equipo. Más información se sabrá en su momento.

El código de vestimenta es casual. Los invitamos a subir sus ediciones al blog y etiquetarlos con el nombre de sus personajes y al vecindario al que pertenecen.

¡Bienvenidos y gracias por adentrarse en el misterio de Safe Haven! Esperamos la actividad sea del agrado de todos. Cualquier duda pueden consultarla directamente en el main de forma anónima o con cuenta.

Can I request The Judgement Day with a s/o who has ADHD?

Absolutely! 😘

Finn

He would always keep things around you that don't overwhelm you in anyway especially if you're fixing to or just had a bout of overstimulation

He always tries to talk calmly but loud enough for you to understand when he can see that you're having a rough day

He will make sure that there are snacks, drinks, a fan, blanket, and a few other things in his locker room when you're not in the audience or ringside watching his match

He always waits to touch you in case you're overwhelmed and not to be touched or talked to in order to calm down but still wanting him with you

He makes sure that if you're in his locker room that one of his friends or someone you trust knows you're there especially if you're having a bad stimulation day

He never yells around or at you when you're overstimulated even when he's frustrated he makes sure to bite his tongue and help you

Damian

He would pay close attention when he gets to know you and picks up on your patterns whether you tell him about the ADHD immediately or after knowing each other for a while

When he knows you're starting to get overstimulated, he will hand you cold water and put a rag on your neck or wrap you in a blanket and have you eat when he sees the nausea look in your eyes and after asking when you ate

He would whisper softly to you when everything around you becomes too much and you start hearing the dull ringing in your ears and will take you outside for air and away from everything happening

He would gently tap you before covering your ears if music was fixing to play loudly or yelling would happen and hold you to him after as long as you wanted to be touched

He will get you different things to help occupy your mind when he is in a match from a weighted blanket, small weights, and a stress ball to a sensory band, a fan, and cube to squeeze in your hand

He would also have extra pairs of clothes in case you needed to change into something more loose and comfortable when you were starting to get overwhelmed

Dominik

He would immediately get you things you liked and he knew that would keep you calm and occupied when he would start seeing the first signs of you being overstimulated

He would always ask to touch you before pulling you in his arms or lap just to whisper in your ear and hold you which helped calm you down sometimes and even have you fall asleep

He will put headphones on your ears to play soothing music when you start getting frustrated from the overstimulation starting and especially if everyone else outside would be yelling

He will always put his hands over your eyes when any type of flashing effect would happen knowing how it hurt your eyes and over your ears when anytime of loud effect or music would blare loudly

He will pack things for you in his bag that will help you when you're overstimulated in any way and always brings you to the locker room where you felt safe

He would write a sign on the door telling everyone else not to knock loudly or yell and put a symbol for ADHD on the door and as soon as everyone found out why they would always be sure not to scare or upset you

Rhea

She would know immediately after noticing your patterns and would pay attention to know what triggered your overstimulation

She would have an ice pack or warm compress ready depending on how overstimulated you were and what your body temperature would be due to it

She would bring you food and drinks from catering before she would have her match to make sure that if you hadn't eaten in a long time that you did

She would make sure that she was allowed to touch you before gently massaging your shoulders and back to relieve the tension out of your body which helps you fall asleep and calm down

She also makes sure that you are not alone when you're in their locker room having Liv or Rey with you since they were the two people that you trusted other than her, your shared three friends, Edge, Solo Sikoa, and the Usos

She would definitely have you lay in her lap when you didn't want to be touched but wanting her to be with you and when you felt okay to be touched she would gently run her fingers through your hair

[rapunziedameron]

I'm working (finally) on my tros anniversary gifset, and it's reminding me that the rise of skywalker has my favorite Rey scene in it, because it's so... quintessentially Rey, and it's the scene where they meet Zorii.

She doesn't come out with her fists ready to swing like Finn does, but she keeps a wary eye on the confrontation. When Zorii suggests that Poe worked with her, Rey asks him for clarification - you can see her little startled blink when Zorii cuts him off before he can explain.

But she doesn't take Zorii's word for it, like Finn, she (gently) asks Poe for a confirmation - and maybe there's a little bit of underlying interest or excitement to her inquiry. Possibly because Rey seems to have an interest in the underworld ("han solo, the rebellion general?" "no, the smuggler"), or maybe because Rey's glad to see she and Poe are a little more on equal footing than she thought (see: the entirety of Through the Turbulence).

Rey only becomes a truly active participant when it goes from a standoff to a proper ambush, and doesn't even take out her saber until the last minute. She takes out all of Zorii's crew in one fell swoop, carefully keeping Finn and Poe both safe (and giving me their truly adorable reactions to her kicking ass which I'll treasure forever).

The lightsaber is a last resort to stop the fighting, to give her a chance to ask Zorii for her help. And when Zorii replies that she knows Rey doesn't care but she thinks she's okay, Rey assures her that she does care, and offers Zorii her hand.

And I really feel like this scene best encompasses who Rey is; someone who is comfortable hanging in the background to observe before jumping in to her friends' defense, who refuses to believe the word of a potential enemy unless she has cause to believe they're telling the truth, who uses a lightsaber as a last resort, and offers compassion instead. It's such a neat moment that highlights what Snoke said in the Last Jedi, that Rey has the heart of a true Jedi.

❝ i’m not documenting the world. i’m trying to understand it. ❞

jude was raised in a quiet coastal town in southern norway, where everything felt still—except the flickering light of her father’s old movie theater. she grew up in the projection booth, watching films through a square of glass, translating emotion through silence. her father, gentle and reserved, rarely spoke of jude’s mother. all she knows is that she was american. from new york. beautiful. dramatic. and gone. jude’s love for film is inseparable from her father—his quiet steadiness, the smell of old reels, the hush of a theater just before a film begins. but her love for truth? that came from absence. from not knowing. from wondering if there was something more in the stories people chose not to tell her. when she was old enough, she left norway behind and followed the only clue she had: her mother was from new york. she applied to langston with a portfolio full of grainy short films, raw street photos, and journal entries turned into visual essays. now she studies photojournalism, chasing the kind of truth people try to bury—on paper, in pixels, in passing glances. jude is focused, unpredictable, and not easily distracted. she works odd jobs to fund her gear, disappears without notice to shoot something she found in a passing headline, and is often seen editing late into the night in the back corner of the library. she’s still chasing her mother’s ghost, even if she won’t admit it. but she’s also documenting the world around her—its beauty, its chaos, its contradictions—because if she can piece together other people’s truths, maybe her own won’t feel so out of reach.

wanted connections.

the muse → someone she keeps capturing in her work without meaning to. are they flattered? annoyed? or intrigued?

the missing piece → someone who knows something about her mother—intentionally or not. do they tell her? or protect the secret?

the subject turned friend → someone she originally interviewed or photographed for class, but they never stopped talking.

the one who grounds her → the only person who can pull her back when she spirals too deep into her work.

the critic → they don’t get her work. they say it’s too raw, too emotional, too messy. jude is determined to prove them wrong.

the journalism rival → they’re both chasing the same stories. both driven, talented, and absolutely refuse to lose to each other.

the fixer → someone who gets jude out of trouble when her curiosity crosses lines—again.

the old family friend → someone who once knew her mother, or claims to, and carries a version of the truth jude hasn’t heard yet.

the almost something → it never officially started, but the tension was real. they danced around it until someone got tired of waiting. now it’s awkward. or electric. or both.

the ex who gets her → they broke up, but there’s still a deep emotional connection. maybe they still talk. maybe they’re pretending they don’t want to.

the bad breakup → it ended messily—ghosting, jealousy, or just the wrong time. now they're back in each other’s orbit and things are unresolved.

the ex turned creative partner → they tried the relationship thing. now they work together on film/photo projects. are they over it? unclear.

fwb with feelings → they swore it was just physical. it’s absolutely not. neither of them will admit it.

party hookup turned recurring → it was supposed to be one night, but they keep ending up in each other’s beds. and maybe each other’s heads, too.

tinder match with surprising chemistry → it started with a swipe and a joke about cameras. now they're texting more than either of them expected.

the emotionally unavailable situationship → they mirror each other’s avoidance issues and bad habits. it’s a slow-motion car crash, and neither of them can look away. TAKEN BY ROBIN! ( @cloyingblccd )

the hookup turned muse → jude photographed them after a night together, and the photos were... too raw. too honest. now there’s tension. TAKEN BY SOREN! ( @cloyingblccd )

the one she ghosted → she got spooked and disappeared. now they’re in the same class. oops.

the one who calls her out → they challenge her, see through her sarcasm, and refuse to let her hide. infuriating. and irresistible.

the one who listens back → someone who notices when she’s spiraling, meets her quiet energy with softness, and makes her want to stay.

the best friend blur → the line between friendship and something more is so blurry it might not even exist anymore. neither of them wants to be the first to say it.

the library crush → barely talk, always lock eyes.

the penpal turned person → a long-distance connection turned real. someone who knew her before langston, and now they’re here—in the flesh.

I finished starforce 1-! I played the dx patch, ofc, I hunted the sp bosses but I gave up when deep space asked for a complete standard library like god bless dex filling is not my passion. Maybe one day I’ll come back to it. 25 hours across 6 days… it’s a bit sad actually, if I were a kid this would’ve taken years but now I just blitz through it in less than a week… aw.

But anyway I really loved it… I’ve never played mmsf1 before, only watched a playthrough and anime years ago so while I was aware of some major twists (pat/rey and AM-ian mega) and the boss lineup, I had forgotten a lot of the smaller details so it was still really fun… I really love geo’s character progression, depressed lonely kid who pushes others away but ends up being saved by people who insist on being in his life, insist on dragging him around and including him and consistently reaching out to him… as well as geo ultimately deciding to move on because he meets someone with the same pain as him and wants to reach out and help, so that she doesn’t fall into the same pit that he does, ending with the both of them moving forward and deciding to be strong together… it’s something I relate to/understand heavily so honestly I’m pretty floored that this is in a game for 10 year olds. If I had a nickel for every time a kid’s game smacked me over the head with its writing I’d have 2 nickels etc etc (tho it’s probably the fact that it is a kid’s game in the first place that makes me underestimate it then get surprised when it has good writing).

Geo and Mega’s relationship is so touching to me… I really love the dynamic of “oh dear god I’m stuck with this guy” but in the end it was because of mega first that geo started caring about other things, started trying new things and experiences for mega’s sake… and in return mega does learn more about caring for other people and being kinder too. It’s a minor detail that I haven’t seen anybody point out before but for transer requests in the early game areas (ie echo ridge) mega is often dismissive about other ppl’s problems (his dialogue along the lines of “ah geez let’s get this over with”/“yeah? let them figure out their own problem.”) but later on in the game he seems… disappointed? when megaman decides not to take on a request. It’s a really cute minor detail that I love. Sadly I don’t have any screenshots to prove this but you gotta trust me bro. Or you can look it up, compare say, echo ridge requests vs dream island or time square reqs.

And on mega- it’s actually very funny to me when you compare his sf1 and sf3 concept art, lol. In the art book it says that they redesigned him to have more upright posture and “handsome” appearance it’s killing me 😭 he’s a domesticated cat… geo tamed him….

Anyway! I just started zerker x ninja last night, played a lil bit of it- unlike sf1 I never watched a playthrough, only the anime, but honestly I totally forgor anything that was in it. Apart from there’s 3 main villains? And solo, god I love solo I can’t wait to meet him properly… but that was all from a rewatch of the anime op, so. First impressions of the game is- holy fucking shit mega follows geo around when you put on the visualiser?????? 😭😭😭😭😭oh my GOD. this is EVERYTHING. Tears in my eyes actually ohhh this is probably the best feature of the game. My god. It’s so cute….!!! Mega’s always by your side, geo… he’s like a following pokemon, lol. That’s a good thing. Number 2- oh, you can walk on the ground as megaman now, cool that’s like sf3- WHY DID I GET AN ENCOUNTER ON THE GROUND. When I tell you my jaw dropped…. Lmao it feels like my safe space got robbed from me </3 viruses should NOT be bothering me on the ground.

Frankly my initial opinion on sf2 was soured because of the negativity surrounding it online, which, fair, half an hour in and I can already see the translation errors… and I’m playing the lowered encounter patch so hopefully the rates won’t be too problematic for me… and ngl people saying that the game having a less heavy and serious tone unlike sf1 and sf3 is a bit of a let down, but ahh, I’ll play regardless and see how it goes. I’m excited to meet solo, at least-! Sf2 is entirely new sf content to me, so I’m way excited to experience it for the first time…!! After this I will join everybody else in the drought 💀

Reylo Scene: TLJ Part 2

Kylo Ren and Rey go through this intense, exhilarating experience with one another. The fight for each other and he's find a way to save her by winging this shit. Solo style. Her belief in him is awarded. He kills his master and becomes a traitor to the First Order for her.

Then it falls apart as soon as they break each contact with each. Why?

Rey rushes to the telescope and wants to save the resistance (her friends). A resistance Kylo Ren, not Ben, wants to die.

Rey may have been right in putting her faith in Ben, but her mistake is that she does not understand that ultimately this is a damaged man she's falling for. He's an abused, complicated and damaged man. She's been inside of his head and still doesn't understand this. He just killed his abuser and he's in shock. He's still in pain over what he did to his father.

Ren is lonely. It's one of his defining traits. Ben Solo was probably very lonely. For the first time he has someone who can meet him on his level. He has a person who put her life on the line for him.... he wants this person by his side. Which is why he goes to such manipulative lengths to get her there.

The reality of their force bond is while they can't hide from one another, everything is open to inspection, but because of that they feel seen and then accepted. It's a painful and fulfilling gift.

Even the room. Where the fire in the hut was warm, safe and nurturing. The fire in this scene represent chaos and destruction.

Ren is being harsh, but he's giving her what she needs which is to free herself from the denial about her parents. She needs to step out of her childhood and embrace her womanhood. She needs to begin to leave elements of her past behind. Rey also served to free Ren/Ben. Her belief in him and her conviction that there is good in him allows him to free himself from a part of his childhood, He kills Snoke and step into his adulthood.

While the Reylo connection isn't all flowers and rainbows it does say something that Ben/Ren connection to Rey strengthened him in a way his connections to his parents and Luke just didn't.

Ren and Rey, our hero and villain, want this connection so badly, but both are frustrated by others way of thinking. Ren wants to burn it all down and forget. Rey wants somebody he's not ready to be yet. It's important to mention that while he's being manipulative - he wants her to believe that he's all she has, like in this moment she is all he has.

Most people missed the finesse of this scene. "You're nothing, but not to me." He's manipulative and he's something very raw to a woman already in a raw state, but he's not being abusive. He wants her to believe that he's all she has, like in this moment she is all he has. What he's saying in the later part of his speech is “What other people would think of you isn't important and I don't care about your background. I can see how amazing you are and you are the most important person in the galaxy to me." Ben Solo would say that. Not Kylo Ren.

Just because Kylo Ren sucks at expressing himself does not mean Rey should accept it. She doesn't.

It's actually a sad scene to watch. Ren and Rey want this connection so badly, but both are frustrated by the others way of thinking. Ren wants to burn it all down and forget. Rey wants somebody he's not ready to be yet.

Kylo understands Rey in a way no one ever has or will. He just doesn't understand her healthy attachments or the way she's chosen to cope with her abandonment. Women fear the lost of connections. Women will be hurt on a deeper level losing a close friend than we will ever be hurt by breaking up with a romantic partner. The hardest thing for Rey to admit to herself was the truth about her partners, but she coped with denial and then finally acceptance. While Rey had a good connection with Han and good ones within the resistance her healthiest connection is with Finn. Finn and Rey believe in one another, they fight for one another and find themselves within a true supportive friendship. Temped to join him as she might be she won't join him like this. She won't abandon her friends. More importantly she won't enable him like Padme did. Kylo needs healthy boundaries and consequences.

Rey is also just not ready. She has some growing up to do and she needs to become a more fully developed person. She doesn't fully understand the his path yet. In the novelization she comes to that awareness like, "I thought this would be simpler for him, it's not, and that's my mistake."

Another cookie for Rian Johnson is the scene above. Most writers would have had her refuse his proposal verbally and they would've argued. Instead we see her reach for the lightsaber and he reaches for it back and it get's stuck between them. There was so much symbolism in this scene without a word of dialogue. Literally they are at an impasse. Their powers within the force are equal to one another so they're stuck. It's a great visual. They actually slide further from one another. The saber breaking is literally their nature, once so powerful in harmony is equally powerful in disharmony.

They both are knocked out. She wakes before him, takes a moment to contemplate him and then sneaks off with the lightsaber. He wakes wondered why she left him alive but then trails off the Crete to kick resistance ass, now the boss and salty as hell.

He feels rejected and he has a right to be angry. He put it all on he line for Rey. He killed his master, he betrayed the first order and he made an emotional plea. She turned him down.

Kylo Ren is now the most powerful person in the galaxy, he achieved a level of freedom not even Darth Vader knew. He is the son of legends (might not be happy about) He looks miserable in the scene when he goes into the resistance bunker. It's bad enough that he got played by Luke, but he lost the girl.

In their final forceskype, he's looking up at her as she's kneeling holding his father's dice while she's onboard the falcon helping get away. He's not happy and despite the anger he expressed about her in front of Luke....... he looks at her longing and with sadness. He's not happy about where they are. She's not happy either. She's disappointed in him so there back to a confusion.

While she's disappointment in Ben she's also melancholy. The passing of Luke, the pitiful state of the resistance and she's sad she broke up with Ben. She closes in the door on that matter, for now, it's a pause. It's actually growth for Rey.

"I wanna be with you, but not like this so until you're I'll wait over here."

I love this film. Haters be damned. Also, finding GIFs, damn. Also found the one I needed when I was looking for it. Spent two minutes trying to find the gif I needed when I was looking for it.

Random Reylo gif for the hell of it. Ren looking for his girl and thigh grab.

National Take a Hike Day 

There’s a lot that could be said about Take a Hike Day, but it seems that this excerpt from Cheryl Strayed’s book, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail says it all just perfectly.

History of Take A Hike Day

Take a Hike Day was established by the American Hiking Society with the hope of encouraging individuals, groups of families and friends to get out into the wild and really get a taste of what it means to be away from it all again. Hiking is something that consistently helps to rebuild the human connection with nature, and also aids in maintaining healthy hearts and bodies as well.

Hiking should not be an affair that a person rushes through. However, it should also not be a journey that a person goes through idly with very little sense of purpose. Instead, a person should listen to their heart and body: when restlessness strikes head out for the distant hills, and when weariness sets inlet the body rest and take in the environment.

Take A Hike Day was created to remind everyone that humans are creatures of the wild as well as creatures of civilization, and sometimes it does that wild heart good to be taken home again and get out into the depths of nature.

How to Celebrate Take A Hike Day

The great thing is that the best suggestion for celebrating this day is contained right there in the name! Buzz off, get out, go away, take a hike! But that’s not all, other ideas for honoring and observing this day can be conjured up as well:

Take a Hike to a New Place

There are a million places to go on a hike, from your own backyard to the highest peaks in far-flung and exotic locations. When you hike, be sure to take note of the beautiful and magnificent surroundings, from the towering trees overhead to the secret and elusive critters that live in mountain streams and in distant glades. Hikes were made to commune with nature, and noticing it is the first step. Don’t be in a hurry!

Most people would be surprised at just what can be found by looking under the canopy of a tree, or with a quick glance under a bush. Take A Hike Day is the ideal opportunity to reconnect with the fundamentally important things in life: the fresh air, blue sky, and deep rich earth underfoot.

Learn Safety Tips for Hiking

While Take a Hike Day can certainly be loads of fun, it’s also important to use the brain and follow certain safety guidelines so that the hike ends in delight rather than a visit to the emergency room. This is especially important because getting away from it all also means getting away from easy access to medical care!

In addition to having the proper gear, such as boots and socks, consider these important tips for staying safe and comfortable during a hike:

Stay Hydrated

Hike with a Friend

Create an Itinerary

Prepare for weather

Bring a filled water bottle and sip on it throughout the hike. This is especially important on warmer days when dehydration is more likely.

Having a hiking buddy is ideal to be sure everything is okay. For a solo hike, make sure someone knows exactly where you’re headed and check in with them upon arrival.

Knowing where you are going is vital when hiking–and be sure to share it with someone outside the group, such as with the park ranger’s office. This helps in case someone gets lost or injured and a search party needs to be sent out.

Watch the weather forecast and take into consideration factors such as altitude, lightning, or rain. The heat of the sun is another important weather factor to be prepared for. Pack sun protection, rain gear, emergency shelter and a first aid kit.

Grab Some Friends for a Hike

Going on a short hike alone can be therapeutic and soothing. But when it comes to serious hiking, it’s best to have at least one buddy to journey with. Plus, the more the merrier! Choose a hiking buddy who moves at a similar pace, who appreciates nature in the same way, and who is able to either talk or be quiet as needed.

Don’t have a friend who likes to hike? Get connected with safe hiking groups by contacting the local park ranger for more information.

Join the American Hiking Society

Want to stay connected and keep apprised of the most important information regarding hiking? The American Hiking Society (AHS) might just be the place to go. Register on their website, join in with an affordable monthly membership, become a NextGen trail leader, participate as an ambassador, or get involved with a Volunteer Vacation. AHS offers plenty of opportunities to get hiking, as well as working to protect trails and advocate for hiking access.
