Kylo Ren is an excellent fake Christian, but TLJ!Rey is an excellent real one. Which makes no sense because there was nothing in TLJ to explain the sudden change. We could have had Rey learn a great lesson about forgiveness and redemption— BEFORE going to Kylo Ren, explaining her motive— and in failing learning that just because you forgive someone doesn’t mean they will change, because they have their agency. But no, Rey is suddenly an altruist for no reason.

It would have made a hell lot more sense if it were because of Finn, someone she already knows and loves. She wanted Finn to be safe, and she wanted to foist the burden of being the Jedi on Luke so she could be with Finn–and to “Ben” when Luke refused. Rey’s own psychology as someone who spent a lifetime forced to play nice with people who mistreated her also explains her actions (link). Her brief belief in Bendemption would also have been way clearer if it were shown that she was thinking about how Finn turned away from the FO (link).

Tragic Irony? Cause I love tragic irony, what if Kor Sella and Finn were related and the last family Finn had died without him even knowing. 

MAYBE THAT WAS WHY HE SENSED HER DEATH SO STRONGLY AND MAYBE LOSING A MEMBER OF HER FAMILY TO THE FO WAS WHY SHE DEDICATED HERSELF TO FIGHTING THE FO THREAT I AM GOING TO SOB OVER THIS FOR DAYS

there was a kylo ren reference in star wars resistance tonight, apparently slaughtering villages is a hobby for him. the episode’s premise revolves around 2 kids running away from the FO after kylo killed their entire village, including their parents. FO wants to kill the kids, too.

Oh but poor babby Ben felt TERRIBLE about having to kill them, in fact how dare the villagers make him feel so bad these kids deserved to die for that and also children are terrorist enemy combatants too and should have been killed poor Ben did nothing wrong uwu

Also what are these kids whining about anyway? At least they didn’t have a powerful Dark Side user stalking them from their father’s left nut and their dead parents actually cared about them something something kitchen droid Bendemption 2k19!!!✌️👍💖

@magic-owl why are they so boringly predictable 😂

okay, so i’m not sure if everyone heard of what happened on the bachelor vietnam a few weeks back, but basically one contestant professed her love for another one on national TV:

at first, after the contestant minh thu professed her love for the other contestant truc nhu, they walked out of the show together:

but apparently afterwards, the bachelor quoc trung met up with truc nhu and convinced her to remain on the show, which pretty much broke hearts everywhere:

BUT i just found out that minh thu and truc nhu are officially together as a couple!!!

twentygayteen just keeps on giving!!!!

Someone make a movie PLEASE

I fear something terrible has happened.
