things i will never get over:

katarainspace:

1. finn asking rey if she was ok (on jakku) and rey looking at finn in disbelief bc this was probably the first time in her life on jakku anyone has asked her that
2. finn being the first one ever to actually come back for her (to starkiller base in order to save her) while rey was already on her way out herself since she’s used to being on her own with nobody to rely on

1. Finn tells her she looked at him like no one ever had, and while Rey is more circumspect you can tell by her look of disbelief and her tiny nod that he, too, treated her like no one in memory ever had. The thought makes me so emotional I just

2. I thought this moment is so important because it’s a rare example of a man’s relationship with a woman being primarily about emotional support and not as her physical savior. Too often the damsel in distress trope is used as shorthand for a man being a romantic prospect without any sign that the characters are compatible or that he supports her emotionally. Here, Rey doesn’t need Finn to survive any more than he needs her; they need each other because they lift each other up and love each other. They don’t need each other to survive, they need each other to live.
