I’m 100% Reylo positive, 100% Bendemption positive and 100% Ben and Rey Surviving positive.
If you wanna join the club that’d be great!
The look Kylo has when Rey is being tortured vs the one after she shuts the door (& maybe the force skype).
One is right before he kills his father figure who has been with him for decades - FOR HER. The other is after claiming he’ll destroy her.
Do you see a difference? If anything, he looks even more deeply in love and afraid in the bottom one. Definitely not the look of someone who actually wants to destroy Rey.

[these will be in a meta I am writing too but I like these small comparisons]
spending a lot of time in the kitchen, baking bread with herbs, reading old kitchen book and trying new recipe, growing my own vegetables and fruits, having diners with neighbours and friends, and relaxing while taking the bath after the long day
I needed to post something funny to help deal with the pain.
You know what, I can try to find some meaning or understanding to how TROS unfolded. But what I will never be able to comprehend is the blantant and unapologetic manipulation that came from both JJ, and yes, some of the cast.
“I hope people feel better when they leave the theater than when they got there.”

“I saw something, too.”
Kylo Ren endures years of being manipulated, mentally/physically abused, tormented, and used by Snoke - never standing up for himself. By accepting this treatment, it’s obvious how little he values his own life. He believes this is his fate.
Rey endures 10 minutes of being teased and tortured by Snoke, which Kylo has probably experienced since day one of the dark side and kills him without hesitation. He knew what he had to do.
Had he killed Snoke himself years ago, it would show that Kylo believed he had something worth living for - but he didn’t.
What does this tell us?
Not only does Kylo Ren value Rey’s life more than his own, but he feels that she gives his life meaning.
Here’s why.
Killing Snoke not only saves Rey but also saves himself. Rey made him feel like he was worth saving.
“You’re not alone.”
“Neither are you.”
He proceeds to ask her to join him, a desperate plea to rule the galaxy with the girl who began the transformation of Kylo Ren into Ben Solo. Let’s break down the dialogue:
“It’s time to let old things die.”
It’s time for Ben to let go of Kylo, it’s time for Rey to let go of the past.
“Snoke, Skywalker,”
The black and white rules their mentors have taught them,
“the Sith, the Jedi,”
He realizes he can’t fully devote himself to being a Jedi because although he feels the call to the light, the anger he feels from striking down his father will always be with him. Luke says it himself. (”…anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda)
“the Rebels,”
With the Sith and the Jedi gone, the Rebels will have nothing to rebel against.
“Let it all die. Rey, I want you to join me.”
Let’s both forget the past and how it has defined us up to this point, and together start a new path with clean slates.
“We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.”
He never states how they will rule. To rule something can also mean to govern something, which could create a regulation and peace in the galaxy. Just because he uses the word rule does not mean his intentions were total domination.
(Rey:) “Don’t do this Ben. Please, don’t go this way.”
Like how I described above, she hears him and goes straight to the dark (just like she did with Luke’s first lesson on the force).
(Kylo:) “No, no, you’re still holding on. Let go! Do you want to know the truth about your parents, or have you always known? You’ve just hidden it away…”
This can be applied to both sides - Kylo has always known the truth about his parents and how they come from the light (”You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family.” - Tekka, The Force Awakens). Rey has always known the truth about her parents and how they were no one. Both characters hid the truth away. So when he says this to her, it’s just another thing that relates them, almost as if he’s saying it to himself as well.
We all know what happens after that. “You’re nothing, but not to me” brings us back to the point of this post. Rey isn’t nothing to him because she brings meaning and value to his existence.
Rey may come from nothing, but to Kylo? She is everything.
These two are just so cool.
I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise. We will give him and the Jedi Order the death he desires. After the Rebels are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island.
ok but what if we REALLY get a kiss between Rey and Ben? I mean are y’all sure you can handle it without screaming/crying/fainting because tbh these 4 years have been the longest foreplay ever and I think I bottled up so much excitement and expectations while AT THE SAME TIME trying to keep my expectations low to avoid being disappointed that I think I’m ready to explode any minute now and I could just as well die if they really kissed on screen and they’ll have to drag my dead body out of the theater
