The romantic implications this has. The sexual implications this has. The tenderness implications this has. The softness implications this has. The angst implications this has. The pining implications this has. The yearning implications this has. The enemies to lovers excellence implications this has.
“I’m really appreciative of the relationship between Rey and Kylo, and what the writers managed to do with it. This kind of love/hate relationship. As if something drew them towards each other despite their will.”
— Daisy Ridley (SFX Magazine)
in case anyone wants to send a ~strongly worded letter~ to lucas films
You deserve to love and be loved. You deserve happiness & all the beautiful things in the world.
From the bottom of my heart i hope 2020 is a better mental health year for everyone.
Ben Solo who wanted to become a pilot, like the scoundrel father he so looked up to
Ben Solo who loved calligraphy
Ben Solo who was named after Ben Kenobi, our Princess Leia’s last and only hope
Ben Solo who spent every night desperately seeking sleep to escape the voices that haunted his mind
Ben Solo who thought he could never go back to his mother, his only home
Ben Solo who was the grandson of the former Queen and the Chosen One
Ben Solo who had Royalty and Greatness flooding his veins
Ben Solo who split his spirit to the core killing his father
Ben Solo who in his loneliest moments didn’t even have ghosts to turn to, who begged his grandfather to show him the way
Ben Solo who was not the one to RISE. Who got a 10-minute “redemption” as the accessory to the girl. Ben Solo who was laying in a PIT during the action.
The last of the great Skywalkers… Ben Solo who no one mourned

I wrote twitter meta about the one good thing about this film (Adam Driver’s acting, the PURE character work he did with zero dialogue) because I finally figured out what he was talking about when he said he was using “mask work” with Kylo Ren. He wasn’t playing through a mask only when he wore the helmet, he was acting as if his very FACE was a stoic blank mask he was looking through. That’s why Kylo Ren as a character has such a specific feeling to him, and why the audience instantly responded to Ben Solo, who could show his emotions.
This character was always 100% a young boy hiding behind a mask that hid and disallowed every emotion except for his anger, the only emotion that men are allowed to feel. This character is an exploration of how toxic masculinity harms men. And what miracles can happen for men internally when they embrace emotionality and forgive themselves and use their energy to do good. (I’m crying about him again.)
Oh Adam
