#please reylos dont interact

thank You for answering my previous ask. Your reply was perfect. The "Jaune cant date Cinder kuz she a murder" argument was always so silly to me. They r trying to make some moral claim but it doesnt add up. Like what so the better option is to have Jaune become a killer by murdering her? Wouldn THAT ruin his character by their logic? I dont really get the stigma against men saving women either. I think the idea is that it makes men look like clueless simps and women look like useless idiots???
Hi again, no worries. (: Ask in question.
I mean to be entirely frank I've literally not interacted with a single person who has expressed these ideas to me about Knightfall (definitely Cinder though, and the idea that Jaune will kill her etc.) because I keep to myself on Tumblr. I've mostly only interacted with people like this regarding Reylo, but I've heard it all before.
I don't think it's really a claim about what stories ought to be told for the sake of preventating harm though, as I said in that post.
Like what so the better option is to have Jaune become a killer by murdering her? Wouldn THAT ruin his character by their logic?
Well, yes it would, but they don't understand Jaune's character because they've ignored every single scene he's in ever, as well as the entire point of the Haven confrontation with Cinder. They invented a different story in their head: Cinder is evil, obviously you're supposed to kill her, please ignore the point of Jaune's Semblance which is literally compassion and support as a superpower.
I dont really get the stigma against men saving women either. I think the idea is that it makes men look like clueless simps and women look like useless idiots???
'Simp' is one of the worst words ever invented. I don't like reading it one bit.
I think 'man saving woman' is a flat reduction of the Knightfall dynamic (as proposed) though, but I know what you mean. I don't know how we got to the point where 'You don't have to do it alone, let me help you and see you for who you really are and could be' is somehow a bad thing, but it makes me feel uneasy. It's just very strange that kill death murder is a more acceptable and 'less regressive' conclusion than like, connection.
But yes, there's an assumption there that it's foregrounded in misogynistic tropes, e.g. classic damsel in distress scenario. I'm not sure that 'simping' factors in (as in, as an actual influencing bad trope) since this, as a 'problem' seems to be a relatively recent (?) and bizarre idea - not sure how extending affection and compassion to a woman (aka the foundation of romance and generally relationships) is... behaviour to be looked down upon?
I also think these kinds of tropes are always contextually sensitive.
If anything I would put forth that Knightfall is specifically a relationship that would reconstruct the knight and Maiden in the tower trope (i.e. damsel in distress), especially as it's so literally reverse Salem/Ozma (the first maiden and knight). Especially because you've got the holy knight who is also Joan of Arc inspired (famously nonviolent) tied to the Maiden who is a maiden because Maidenhood grants magical powers. So yes, considering how traditional gender dynamics are influencing the pairing is worthwhile, but I don't think there's anything regressive here. Quite the opposite.
But as I said I don't think that's really the angle being argued from because trying to take it seriously when it's not about that will leave both parties dissatisfied. It's not really a topic I'm earnestly interested in debating.
The reality is that most of the people who take issue with Knightfall in this context probably want some other ship to happen or they don't understand Jaune's character and think that something textually rejected back in V5 (him trying to kill Cinder) will somehow happen. So if their interpretation is so countertextual and missing the fundamental themes of the show I'm not sure I'd waste time worrying about their analysis.
Obviously that isn't to say some people might take genuine issue with Knightfall but they're not the people I'm talking about. You're allowed to like and dislike things in equal measure, you just don't need to use pseudo-social justice rhetoric to defend your point. That's part of how we ended up with this mess. If it were actual earnest concern I might take such criticisms more seriously. But because they show their hand thinking that romance is regressive (?), compassion is regressive (?), and Cinder shouldn't be redeemed (?), I don't have reason to really care.
Thanks for your ask. I understand gossiping is fun and so is judging other peoples' opinions, but I also suggest you try to find a space where you're not being subjected to this stuff all the time. Unless that's your idea of fun. (:

R*ylo and J*nerys Parallels
1) Villain is seen as ‘attractive’
People won’t admit it, but because D*ny and K*lo R*n don’t look like typical villains (i.e. ugly) they often don’t treat them like typica villains.
2) Fans claim that said villain is not actually, in fact, a villain, despite committing mass genocide
D*ny burnt Kings Landing to the ground, killing most of its population of half a million, as well as killing every man over the age of 12 in Mereen. K*lo R*n was part of an order which destroyed multiple planets, and on screen gave the order for an entire village to be murdered.
3) Hero is belittled by the villain and it’s seen as romantic
At no point on Dragonstone does D*ny refer to Jon by his correct title, she constantly insults and belittles him in this way as a way of asserting her authority over him, yet it is often described as a romantic set of scenes, where they fall for one another?
Similarly K*lo R*n tells Rey that she is nothing, and that she has no family. He does this just before asking her to join him, this seems to me to be an obvious manipulation technique and yet once again fans often call it romantic.
4) Hero has a hidden identity
We all know by now that Jon is actually a Targaryen and heir to the Iron Throne, while Rey is a Palpatine and thus heir to the Sith Throne. Neither of these plot twists were particularly well received by the hero themselves or by their respective villain.
5) The ‘relationship’ removed a hell of a lot of the Hero’s personality and character arc
Before going to Dragonstone Jon Snow has effectively reached the pinnacle of his character arc. He had reclaimed his home and his family, avenged those he had lost, and dispensed justice, all without losing his morals and while taking advice from those more capable than him. Post Dragonstone Jon (aka the one supposed to be in love with D*ny) has lost all of his personality and a lot of his character arc, basically reduced to saying ‘my queen’ and having to be convinced to do the right thing. Look I love the guy but the last season did him dirty.
Rey is the hero of the first film, by the middle of the second she has basically been reduced to a love interest for the villain. Her entire character arc (actually every character arc if we are being honest) was cut short in favour of shoehorning in a romance. They gave us this character who was earnest and kind and hopeful and turned her into a redemption arc for a villain who could not ever be satisfactorily redeemed.
There are probably more, but these are the ones I’ve noticed the most - especially point 2

I forgot she was a pilot
The aliens are so cool!
Go away Ben
Ah, the lightning man. why is he so grim?

Go away Ben!
Those berries are gonna be important

Deserters! ( They get better aim when they take the helmets off)
Spoopy death wreck (cool knife, fabby seafaring)
Stop hurting my babey she's precious

Burn baby burn
Why is he here? (Who you gonna call? Ghost uncle)
Double saber? Eppy!
X! Wing!
Gotta save em all (3po, R2 is Ur bestie for a reason!)
Lightning boi, fights, sith (where did they come from?)

Dead guy's dead, yay!
They all win, the Yaks were important, very cool, big explode, ewoks, big happy
Why is he still alive? GO AWAY BEN!
Nonononono no please no,,,, ewwwwww,,,, nooo (I literally closed my eyes, yes I'm a petty bitch)I would've stood for weirdly connected prankwar cousins, but, Ew.
Yay, safe, woo! reunion! Woo!
That's nice
That was not worth it. (Y'all know what I'm chatting ladies, we deserve better than that)
Aw bb8! Babey!
Rey looks so lost
Group hug!
You get to know who your parents were, and you get to know who your parents were
Her saber is yellow! Sunshine!
A Skywalker! Yessss!
All in all I'm v happy, was good, wasn't the bestest but it was never gonna be, liked it, didn't like some bits (go away Ben) mostly liked it

TROS SPOILERS
Honestly I’m still not really ready to post a full review of TROS, but I just wanted to say my piece to the Reylo/Kylo stan community and remind you all that you’re not alone in grieving.
I’m a very emotional person, it’s not uncommon for me to cry during movies whatsoever. But TROS hit me harder than any other movie has. I’ve never cried that hard over a fictional character in my life.
I saw it on Saturday and I was sobbing through the end and all the way home, and I went to a family Christmas party after and I could barely keep myself together and I felt so sick and achey and awful. When I came back home again I immediately went to my room and just bawled my eyes out, everything hurt and I had a headache and nausea. I barely got any sleep that night.
Sunday I just felt empty and sick, I barely ate anything and I cried over my cereal and I cried at least 10 other times throughout the day. In the evening I just had a complete breakdown in front of my mom and she really helped comfort me and made me feel like it was ok and I wasn’t crazy for feeling this way. I still didn’t get much sleep but I felt a little better after that.
Today I still haven’t eaten or accomplished much, and haven’t even gotten dressed, but I’m healing. I haven’t cried yet lol although I probably will and in general I’m feeling more positive vibes.
My point is, you’re not alone if you feel like this. Grief over a fictional character hits your emotions and body the same way someone irl would. Your brain treats it the same. Your feelings are valid. We need to be there for each other. We need to work together to heal. We need to take care of ourselves. It’s going to be ok.
💛💛💛

...soooo
I don't know if it's just me. But people will be tagging post being like #anti reylo or #reylos don't interact and I'm here like
Tumblr media
Don't get me wrong I think it's ok to ship other things and whatnot. I'm not here to control what people choose to like or dislike.
BUT!
If I'm just trying to enjoy my daily reylo intake, and stumble on anti-reylo in my tag that is where I have a problem. Obviously by mentioning reylo in these anti tags, it would appear on the main reylo search.
Tumblr media
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Like by tagging #reylos don't interact, you are basically ASKING for people to pick a fight with you. Why? Why? Don't you have something better to do?
Well Imma just go back to my reylo content intake
BAAAAIIIII

The pro-Reylo answers are so awful. I feel like I’ve watched completely different movies to some people.

To the anti who decided to comment on my Han Solo post, telling me that they were upset about seeing so much reylo in the Han Solo tag, despite reylo not being mentioned anywhere in the post.
I'm so sorry there's so much reylo in the tag
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm so sorry. It's not like there's virtually no reylo in the tag or like you could do something crazy like blocking the reylo tag. Stay strong, you brave little soldiers.

Me: screenshots a post I saw and posts it on my own blog, tagging it properly, then adding commentary; doesn't tag the op in order to not draw them into discourse or arguments they may not want to have; expressed my own gotdamn opinion on my own blog.
Ya'll: um,,, sweaty,,, that's rude? Let me @ the person you screenshotted even though I had my reasons not to?? Let me shit on you for ""hating"" on people and call you a coward, even though you were actually trying to not bother the op and are merely expressing your opinions on a subject on your own blog :)) lol checkmate antis

I just want to find a Star Wars tumblr that thought The Last Jedi was a good but flawed movie and who neither wants to fuck Kylo nor shit on Adam Driver for doing his job. Why is this so fucking hard to find.

Chris can u please please fancast part 8 I need to know how bad it would be
God.......these keep making me realize idk like any of the big actors now or at least the ones under fucking 40 now who the fuck are any of the 25 year olds playing high schoolers now and why do they have rabid fanbases the second they come out of the factory
Anyways major jojolion spoilers ahead 🥰🥰🥰
Josuke is dylan sprouse because they wanted to cast cole sprouse to get the jughead vibes but they fucked up. It works way better though because dylan is extremely confused the whole time because people wont stop calling him cole and referencing riverdale and it transfers to his acting <3
Yasuho is hunter Schafer because i can and will make trans yasuho canon idc also i get closer to googling euphoria cast more and more each time i do these and im sure she would do a good job playing yasuho because yasuho is gonna be an angsty manic pixie dream girl now :)
Rai is adam driver which is bad casting because adam driver has no ass and hes gonna play rai as very serious but like a broody sexy serious way so its even more inaccurate........reylos become railos
Joshu is ben platt who still thinks hes playing evan hansen if only because he can also pull off the lmm shitting his pants pose. Joshu becomes a misunderstood soft boy UwU 🥺
Norisuke is willem dabestie and he is losing it every scene especially compared to all the bland actors hes surrounded with like just imagine what would happen if he guest starred on riverdale and also had to be one of the 50 dilfs
Daiya is OBVIOUSLY katherine langford from 13 reason why because shes your new favorite actress from your new favorite show :)
Hato is scarlett Johansson because it would make me cry hato is gorgeous and im sorry scarlett Johansson is one of the ugliest women Hollywood tries to sell to me shes nothing
Jobin....who is the least dilfy actor...hmmm...david harbour the fucker from stranger things sorry he was a dilf in season 1 but 2 and 3 were very 🤨🤨🤨 i dont like the way youre interacting with your love interest mister and thats exactly what happens with jobin he is no longer peak wifeguy
Mitsuba is like...so im trying to get someone to capture the vibes of leonardo DiCaprio ditching his girlfriends once theyre like 26 but with jobin and mitsuba so im thinking like omg lili Reinhart the bestie the icon betty from riverdale herself <3 im actually not being sarcastic for once i think lili reinhart is really good but mitsuba is going to be a total ditzy trophy wife so like riverdale lili Reinhart is stuck making the best out of a role she's too good for idc
Omg i almost forgot kaato im so sorry kaato i want real milf hours so sigourney weaver idc shes hot as shit kaatos hot as shit listen i think we deserve ONE good casting and this is it
Tsurugi is like okay i know hes 9 but theyve got like a cgi reneesme baby thing going on and you can clearly see the actors just holding a doll in half the scenes
Kei is taissa farmiga you know the lady from like American horror story season one/three and like nothing else? The one whos like peak go girl give us nothing most of the time? Yeah shes kei because kei was also given nothing 😔😔😔
Kira is im sorry for going for low hanging fruit again but its timothee chalamet they have the same swoopy hair thats enough for me and i think he can probably pull of total asshole bad boy but women love him anyways because who fucking knows and kira is no longer just some weirdo hes a heartthrob 😔😔😔 i think for the flashbacks they make kira the popular bad boy and josefumi the nerdy nice boy fighting over karera
Josefumi is holy shit does anyone remember ansel elgort he used to be so big he was the hot young marketable man for a while despite his last name sounding like off brand gogurt but anyways hes mr the fault in our stars so you know hes got the right vibes of ya love interest for fanon josefumi
Karera is like fuck it shes Jennifer Lawrence she started acting again just in time UwU and they strip karera of all her actual weird girl tendencies and make her an omg so relatable quirky woman who somehow still has no personality
Tooru is the reigning king of fluffy hair andrew Garfield because everyone loves him but he doesnt get to have his cinnamon roll hair thats TOO fluffy and theyre not gonna pay makeup and hair ppl jack shit. I think mx. Garfield is totally down to play tooru and he can definitely do it like just do whatever he did in the social network i guess but the director is like no....be a nerdy awkward uwu man until the big twist that youre a villain 😮😮😮 and it doesnt work at all so tooru becomes a jumbled mess </3
Other notes
Yasugap canon....but at what cost...
Tooru x josuke is the reigning mlm ship and rai x yasuho becomes the reigning woman ends up with a man she detests ship because omg she can fix him even tho rais like fine and also every interaction they have is an argument
Kaato now only committed a little bit of accidental murder because we cant have women with flaws and actually doing awful shit also she and norisuke get back together
Daiya doesnt like prog rock now shes on stan twitter instead and thats half her personality just like it is for meeeee <3
I think the writers are really torn between making joshu purely a misunderstood nice guy or making him the incel that he is and making jokes about that so they do both and it ends up really gross but its not treated like that
I probably should have casted holly but im like 95 sure this becomes a total romcom with the main struggle being like josuke being torn between yasuho and karera since hes now the perfect man for her since kira and josefumi died and combined dvshjsjs meanwhile yasuho is torn between josuke and tooru
Kei is now a closeted lesbian with a crush on hato who is cishet 😔 and thats her conflict honestly wouldnt be surprised if they completely erase her being kiras sister
.....dance party ending
