another fan artist draws rey punching kylo and pats them self on the back as they post it to the tag; as if everyone and their mother hasn’t already drawn that and as if Ben Solo wouldn’t thank Rey after punching him in the face.
There are stories on Jakku that every child knows. Younglings who wander off into the cold, barren night and never come back. Ever-shifting monsters, too terrible for the mind to hold.
Stay close to the fire, my darling, stay close.
Rey knew these stories, too. She just didn’t realize she was in one.
Written for Day 4 (Mythology) of Reylo Monster Week
As they leave the ground and pull further and further from Jakku’s desert sands, Rey wonders if she’s going to die.
Thank you so much to everyone who has left kudos and comments. Since Tumblr currently hates content creators, if you enjoyed this fic, haven’t read it, but think you might enjoy it, or think your followers might enjoy it – please please please reblog to help give me a little bit more exposure!
I think the biggest thing that makes Kylo Ben so likable to me is that he is ‘sway-able’ like he has a legitimate soft spot combined with his suffering. We’ve seen him act on his impulse to respect and empathize (Rey beats Kylo ? He’s impressed and wants to work with her. Kylo saw Finn struggling at the start of TFA ? He lets him go. He senses his mother on the bridge ? He can’t pull the trigger because he’s already harmed himself so much with killing Han.)
And with Vader we saw the angst of his suffering, but we didn’t see him act compassionately till the very end of his arc. People adore Darth Vader despite the need to make three whole movies attempting to humanize him after the original trilogy and then act amazed when people root or want Ben to get his act together.
Synara is a Mirialan who is part of Kragan Gorr’s pirate gang. They have been enlisted by the First Order to attack the Colossus. By fate and coincidence, she is rescued by Kaz and Poe Dameron who mistake her for a crew member of an attacked ship. She is brought to the Colossus for medical treatment and goes along with their misconception that she is a victim of the attack who lost her memory. Synara now finds herself stranded on the Colossus, with Kragan forcing her to stay and serve as a spy for himself and the First Order.
How much were you told about Synara when you first heard about her? If anything. I was told very little. As you know, the world of Lucasfilm is very hush hush, and for good reason. The scripts continue to blow my mind in their creativity, scope and narrative.
Synara is joining the ranks of some very impressive Mirialan including Bariss Offee, Seventh Sister and Luminara Unduli. Did you do any research into her species?
I did some research and concluded that the common thread amongst Mirialan is that they are known for their spirituality and strong connection to the world around them. Some of them even have a strong understanding of The Force. Even though Synara is a pirate, I wanted to bring out her sense of honor, moral code, and pride to encapsulate the Mirialan species.
It’s clear Synara has led a challenging life, not making many, if any, personal connections. Is Tam Ryvora’s act of kindness and offer of friendship enough to get her to change her ways? It obviously deeply affected her.
Tam coming back for Synara was a real watershed moment for her. She’s always had to look out for herself and never relied on anyone because she has been conditioned to think it can only lead to disappointment. Her past has been challenging and has hardened her, making her isolated and closed off to other people. Tam’s act of selflessness and friendship touches and surprises Synara. It’s lovely to be able to play the different sides of her. You’ll have to stay tuned to see if it’s enough to change her. After all, she IS a pirate!
Ppl act like they’re mad about kylo ren because of his evil deeds but it’s actually because he’s not a perfect selfinsert and wishfulfilment character who’s happy about being the legacy of beloved heroes lol
You are the best pilot in the entire RESISTANCE, and you know it. But you know it enough to actually have a HEART OF GOLD underneath. This HEART OF GOLD was cultivated by your loving and not traumatized family of LEGENDARY HEROES. You have various interests including LIGHTSABER TRICKS, BADASS ONE LINERS, EXTROVERTED COMPANIONSHIP, and LOOKING CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE enough to be shipped with every character no matter the circumstances. You are a literal BLANK SLATE for the audience to project onto and fulfill their fantasies. Your actor’s name is probably CHRIS. You have a special ability known as THE UNPROBLEMATIC FAVORITE. You have never made a single mistake and you just really want to find your LONG LOST BABY SISTER who was stolen by your Caine like twin brother, DARTH KYLO REN.
