THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIS LIPS ,, THEY WERE BOTH SO GENTLE BUT THEN SO HASTY LIKE OUCH MY HEART
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this in case you were as touched by Adam Driver's performance as I was. Someone from r/starwarsleaks on Reddit started a fundraiser for Adam Driver's non-profit Arts in the Armed Forces. It's meant to honor Ben Solo's legacy and Adam Driver's incredible portrayal of Kylo/Ben.
Here's the fundraiser mission statement :
"The latest Star Wars trilogy has been divisive among the fandom. Regardless of that, it would not be an exaggeration to say most fans agree Adam Driver's portrayal of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo has been one of the greatest things to ever happen in the last three movies of the saga. As a way of showing gratitude and appreciation for his hard work, we at /r/starwarsleaks have decided to set up this fundraiser. We know how passionate Adam is about AITAF and hope this feels like a "thank you" hug to him. "
I will never be able to express just how much Kylo/Ben meant to me. I've never been so invested in a fictional character and my brain is currently incapable of recognizing that he wasn't real... I'm going through true grief as I know so many of us are. Ben Solo deserved so much more. I hope Adam sees this fundraiser and understands what an impact he has had on so many people. I just thought this was a beautiful idea and it made me feel really good to donate. I'll never forget Ben, he will always live in our hearts 💜
My unsuspecting followers:
Me, about to go on a serious reblogging spree:
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Their power. I love them so much.
how can you be so hopeful? I'm sick of my sadness. . :(
I’m not being hopeful or optimist, I’m being pragmatic here.
Proof these people actually saw TROS last night? There is none. People can make up whatever they want for either attention or spread chaos among the fandom (it happened before, even from Reylos)
“Spoilers” and “leakers” keep contradicting each other and mostly resorting on stuff we already knew from trailers and promos mixed with JP’s leaks. They also keep referring to the Sith holocron as “wayfinder” (like JP did): holocrons are part of the lore and since at least one will be on the film, I’m sure Kylo will reveal what it is and use its proper canon name (to enlighten the audience). If you have listen to the soundtrack, it’s obvious the first scene of the film will be of Kylo Ren on one of his missions. Yesterday, the Visual Dictionary leak revealed he’s been searching for Sith artifacts and that Palpatine was behind Snoke. There’s nothing new here: if you know where to look, you already know the entire first act of the film, maybe second as well.
After TLJ world premiere back in 2017, we got actual footage of the film (videos): Kylo and Rey touching hands, Kylo’s shirtless scene and Kylo and Ren teaming up to defeat the Praetorian Guards. There is nothing of that sort this time around, only a few screencaps with no context or dialogue whatsoever.
Star Wars is a saga for children, above all, and DLF chose Christmas time on purpose: most kids also love Kylo Ren. Will they truly ruin kids’ Christmas? Good luck to their parents if that’s the case.
There’s the freaking “Across the Stars” theme in the last track of the film
And finally, ever heard of the incredulity of Saint Thomas? Well, I’m just like that: a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience
I needed to post something funny to help deal with the pain.
No, probably just implies that he doesn’t feel he wants to or has to marry a girl just for status.
