Imagine if Luke is on his island, blaming himself for Kylo Ren and the disappearance of his daughter, and suddenly this random girl who reminds him too much of himself shows up. He knows he can’t be a teacher to this girl. He already failed his nephew, his daughter. He’ll just fail Rey. But then Rey, angry and hurt, goes into a cave for answers and pleads with the Force to show her her parents and Luke’s face appears. Imagine Luke’s real face when she tells him his daughter is still alive.

I’m not a huge ReySky advocate but that would still have been better than the mess TLJ gave us.

Husband: I think of Catra and Adora’s relationship as more of a sibling thing, but pairing them up seems really popular.

Me: I am making a video of them to Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Husband: …Okay then.

I considered it lmao 😂😂😂 In his (partial) defense, he certainly has his biases but he’s not an out-and-out lesbophobe. He loves Ruby and Sapphire from Steven Universe so much he ordered The Answer book from overseas. It’s such a pretty book and we’ll be reading it to our son. It just seems he can get dense when the relationship is more subtextual.

It may not help that CatDora’s relationship is more reminiscent of intense relationships between male protagonists and antagonists, and he may be less comfortable with the more typically male-on-male dynamic being interpreted as romance as opposed to Rupphire, which is not only an unequivocal romance but has somewhat familiar “male” and “female” roles. Implicit homophobia is complicated I guess.
