J0233 - Reylo

Or maybe because you just happen to like another character more. Why does race constantly need to be brought up to attack someone’s preference of character/storyline?

why would you bring race to a completely unrelated matter? and you’re only on episode two and you’re saying already that lancelot & nimue are the superior ship even when you haven’t gotten the chance to see arthur and nimue develop their relationship? damn. maybe you ARE racist.

I got excited by the possibility of Nimue and Lancelot becoming romantically involved after watching just the first episode. Like I said in the original post, I enjoy the enemies to lovers trope and it seems to me like that’s what’s being set up to happen. I love trying to predict the plot of shows and movies and me shipping them is just one of those predictions. I didn’t realize people were being called racist for shipping them until I was scrolling through related tags and my post was a response to that.

I try my hardest to be an anti-racist but I know I still have a more to learn since I’m not a POC. It’s possible I ship Nimue with Lacelot instead of Arther because of subconscious racism and I’ll be mindful of that as I continue to watch the show. It’s my belief though that arguments about ships detract from more important issues POC deal with daily. As my original post said, multiple POVs can coexist in fandoms as long as those opinions aren’t actively hurting or oppressing people.

If anyone is wondering what post prompted this ask, here’s the link:

Before anyone calls me racist for shipping Nimue and Lancelot, let me just say that I’m enemies to lovers TRASH. It wouldn’t have mattered w

WHOA, REYLOS. WHOA.

You ALL need to seriously calm down. Attacking the entire cast and JJ? Are you sure you’re even “fans?” The premiere was meant for journalists and the press, who signed an agreement to not spoil anything. Any leak, any “spoiler” is pure speculation.

Pay attention to the posts who have pointed out supposed true “leaks” before TFA/TLJ that were COMPLETELY FALSE.

Wait until the general audience sees the film and you hear from your trusted blogs who have currently gone dark. And worse case scenario, leaks do happen to be true, your life will go on. I promise.

Until then, keep hope, and stop feeding into the negativity.

John, Kelly, Naomi, everyone: Adam has smiled at me exactly one time, he is an ice cube that must be chipped away.

Meanwhile, Daisy: Oh yeah Adam carries me around to celebrate getting through tough shots, we had lots of fun filming fight scenes.

Me, knowing how deeply Adam gets into his characters:

Bendemption/Reylo/Reverse Anidala evidence pt 3: Rule with Me edition

[I’ve decided that these three lines of evidence are way too intertwined to separate so #SoulOfBendemption is now all of this.]

Ok so this is going to be a comparison of the throne room scene from TLJ and the Padme confronting Anakin scene near the end of ROTS. The tl;dr version is that Padme and Rey go to confront Vader and Kylo to two different results. Vader & Kylo both offer to rule a new order - allowing the past to die - with their queens. It ends with both Padme and Rey turning them down. Vader then tries to kill Padme whereas Kylo says he’s going to destroy Rey but he honestly has the chance, and doesn’t. (I wrote more about that here -> x)

It hasn't been confirmed by LF yet, but I'm still quaking

so that was a lie

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.)

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.
