Where are these antis who go “ewww sex” and deny that Rey could have sexual desires?? Like seriously where? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anti talk like that about Rey. We don’t think she’s sexually attracted to Kylo but that doesn’t mean we think she’s incapable of being sexually attracted to anyone.
Hell most of us who are FinnReys think that Rey totally wants to jump Finn right in this scene here:
And since when
is Kylo
the only one
she’s initiated
physical contact with?
In their minds Rey having desires or initiating physical contact doesn’t count unless it’s with Kylo.
Hmm I think that’s a natural end for that scene and it’s gotten more than long enough at 3,000 words lol. Time for the pivotal capture scene–I wrote a version of this scene years ago, like in 2014-5? But there’s been so much drift since then, I’m sure it’s going to be very different this time.
Note to self: Never rely on saving website URLs, screenshot everything and save it if it looks interesting. Like half the URLs I saved no longer exist, holy shit.
Got around 336 words in while husband was out with the kid. Was great.
773 words for the day is enough, I think, and I need to think a little about how this scene is going to play out. It definitely has a much different dynamic than prior versions and even my original plans, with more urgency and more people involved. I’m going to have to think about how the balance between the factions is going to work itself out here. The heroine’s sister has really thrown a wrench into the works by sending pursuers, but I can’t blame her because my dumbass should have thought of that in the first place.
Funny how I set up the heroine and her elder sister as antagonistic, but the youngest sister Ari has a mind of her own that I should have anticipated. I have no one to blame but my own ableism tbh, I had a vague idea she would be sweet and harmless and not affect the story all that much because she’s autistic. Then she comes in and says “fuck that and fuck you” in her very first viewpoint scene, good for her. She took charge of an overwhelming situation like a boss (help, there’s a stranger in my bedroom and she’s totally gorgeous!!), telling this beautiful stranger how to help her not have a meltdown and then making a decision on her own that was both righteous and merciful. The details of this scene might change depending on the needs of the plot and what sensitivity readers tell me, but at least I learned I need to take a look at how I’ve been treating this character in my plans for the story.
I also adore the fact that Ari and her mutual crush/eventual girlfriend are working against each other despite their feelings. I find that I’m way more invested in this relationship than the one between the heroine and her bf. I think the two couples are going to make for contrasting parallels, with one couple working at opposing purposes before becoming allies, and the other starting out as fast allies but later becoming enemies.
I also got a kick out of the heroine’s boyfriend mentioning his cousin to her and her going, “Oh yeah, I guess I’ve heard of him. Isn’t he a foreign king’s bastard?” Oh, honey. That’s your future husband.
@fettjango We both have Aris, that’s so adorable!! In my Ari’s case it’s her full name, or nickname (there’s basically no distinction between the two when it comes to personal names in this setting). It means “low” or “little” in Korean because she’s the youngest.
Only my love of the entire franchise. I have said over and over again–if by some mad chance reylow happens, I’m gone. I’m not here for that 50 Shades bullshit.
They outright rewrite his horrible “You’re nothing” line and excuse his trying to kill Rey and promising to destroy her by saying hE WAs In PainnnN. You know, because a young white guy is allowed to do any fucking thing he wants as long as he feels bad. It’s pathetic to watch them so ardently defend the director who trolled them so cruelly.

Omg this entire article is so hilariously bad (link):
He knows that if people look inside him, they will only find a scared boy and the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa.
Ben Solo, Kylo’s real name, is the result of the failures of his
family. Firstly he shows that Leia and Han failed him as parents. Leia
was so dedicated to bettering the overall universe and being a fantastic
public servant that she ignored the evil that was creeping up on her
own family.
Han may have noticed that something was deadly wrong
with Ben, but Han often avoids and runs away from conflict. When things
go bad for his son and then for his marriage with Leia, Han left them to
return to work as a smuggler. Han’s sacrifice at the end of THE FORCE
AWAKENS is his attempt to rectify his sins as a father and not walk away
from his family.
I guess “sacrifice” is the new term for “being murdered” these days? This is pre-TLJ, too, so we can safely guess that this author has now added Luke to the list of people to be blamed for Kylo’s actions.
Also what is this faux fantasy nonsense:
Kylo will continue as the sword of the First Order, a hero to his people.
