We're 10 days out from tros so I made y'all some memes.
My Reylo doodles (36/?)
Did you notice that we had a short cut of Dark Rey in TROS teaser, and we had a scene with Cal when he's a sith?
Did you notice that both Ben and Trilla were somehow betrayed by their Masters? By Luke and Cere.
Did you notice that both Rey and Cal discover the truth about Kylo Ren and Second Sister through the touch? Rey touches Ben's hand while Cal touches Trilla's lightsaber. And how then Rey and Cal are showing compassion to their enemies:
"It isn't too late"
and
"It's not too late to let it go".
And do you remember how both Luke and Cere got the chance to confront their former Padawans and say sorry. And how they expressed basically the same idea as Rey and Cal did.
Leia: I know my son is gone.
Luke: No one's ever really gone.
Trilla: It's too late, Cere.
Cere: No. It's not.
I can't believe this. I'm telling you that is some kind of a strange deja vù. And it's freaking amazing. Somehow, I believe that Trilla may be still alive, just heavily wounded by Vader, so eventually she'll come back in a next game. Hope is always with us anyway :)
had this au kicking around about Catra agreeing to marry She-Ra for political reasons having no idea it’s actually Adora, and of course Adora who’s beside herself standing so close to Catra again but can’t reveal who she is yet. They’re both wartorn and desperate.
[image description: a black and white sketch of Adora as She-Ra and Catra, facing each other in profile. Catra looks tired and a little worried, and She-Ra looks reserved but barely hiding an earnestness, maybe a longing. She-Ra’s hands are held in front of her a little awkwardly, like she wants to reach out and touch Catra, but recognizing she is a stranger to her. Catra has short hair and an outfit similar to her s4 outfit, with a small cape fitted over her shoulders. End ID]
Ben: Okay one iced mocha for Finn, Dragon Fruit tea for Rose, Spice-hot coco EXTRA whip cream for Jannah, and for Rey the cinnamon apple pie milkshake with double dip of caramel on top. Did I forget anyone?
Poe: Yeah actually I order the-
Ben: Great! So what’s mission for today?
TLJ: rey’s parents were nobodies. she doesn’t descend from some ancient bloodline. her strength is not attributed to some (male) ancestor, it comes solely from herself.
TROS: *makes rey a palpatine*
me:
TLJ: rey’s parents were bad people who sold her. this is thematically important to her whole arc about finding her identity. in order to grow and mature as a character, she must let go of the idealised picture of her parents she has in her head and the harmonious infancy she never had. she wants her parents to be good, noble people, and by having them be bad nobodies, we force her to change and grow, to create her own place in the universe/her own identity.
TROS: actually rey’s parents were G O O D P E O P L E who sold her to ~protect~ her uwu
me:
TLJ: we killed snoke to make room for the actually interesting conflict, the one between the conflicted supreme leader kylo ren and the resistance, his mother and rey.
TROS: *brings back palpatine*
me:
TLJ: the jedi failed. they were arrogant and stuck in their ways. they were so terrified of the dark side that they turned a blind eye to the darkness rising with palpatine. they deal in absolutes. it is time to let this flawed order die. we must learn from our past mistakes. failure is the greatest teacher.
TROS: rey is a jedi now
me:
TLJ: rey and kylo have a complicated relationship. they are beyond physically fighting each other, they now have to figure out their emotional conflict on how they are going to navigate their force bond connection and ambiguous feelings as supreme leader and resistance fighter.
TROS: *more lightsaber fight nonsense*
me:
TLJ: rose is a self-assured, determined character, an integral part of this story. she acts as moral authority to finn, helps him find his purpose in the resistance and embodies hope, resilience and fighting for the right cause.
TROS: *1:16 minutes of screen time*
me:
TLJ: rose and finn share a kiss
TROS: …y'all hear sumn?
me:
Further exploration of Captain Octavius as a Davy Jones type figure arrrrrrrr
