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!!!✌️👍💖

Holy shit, they’re not backing away from Kylo slaughtering villages?

My dude, if you recall, his first introduction was slaughtering a village. If they’ve spent the past 3 years relentlessly woobifying him after that, what makes you think more destroyed villages would make them back away? I haven’t seen their reaction because I can only take reylows in brief doses, but they’ve no doubt found some way to rationalize this already.

Oh, I know all about what the Reylos would say – their theory is that Disney is intentionally gonna play up Kylo’s evil leading up to Episode 9 so that his inevitable “““““redemption”“““““ will be all the more “““““surprising”“““““.

Because that’s what we really need right now – reassurance that Nazi analogues can be forgiven for a lifetime of evil after they help someone out one time.

Yeah and that genocide is nbd and people just need to get the fuck over it or they’re the bad guys 😂

I really like the idea that Finn is a Force void, possibly caused by trauma. It would be interesting because it is mostly seen in Dark Side characters, but not exclusively, and it would underline once again that both Finn and Kylo are who they *choose* to be. Voids are also interesting because while some of them have been Force users, all of them are immune to others using the Force on them. Which would explain why Kylo doesn’t ever try to use the Force on him, not even once.

oooooh that is so interesting. Yeah I looked it up and it stated that Force Voids usually show up in people who have “natural leanings toward the dark side of the Force, who gravitated or were naturally drawn to it.” And you’re absolutely right that if Finn ends up being a Force Void then it really would underline the whole them of Choice and highlight their standings as foils to one another. 

If Finn is a Force Void it’d certainly lend credence as to why he wasn’t sought out (at least in canon as we know it) to be in the Knights since he’d just fade into the background when he doesn’t want to be noticed. It’d make me wonder what Kylo sensed though when he stopped and stared at Finn in the beginning of tfa

One thing I absolutely need to be in IX, an explanation for what the hell Kylo sensed when he stopped and stared at Finn. It is such a pivotal moment yet it has never once been addressed.

Because from the pov of the general audience, that is where Kylo’s obsession with Finn seems to begin. He sensed something, something happened in those seconds, and we damn well need to know what that something was.

And yes Finn being a Force void would explain how a strongly Force senstive person could exist in the First Order and neither Snoke nor Kylo ever sense him. They’d have to be really close to him and possibly there would also have to be something in Finn that broke down the barrier, like you know, witnessing a massacre. So Tuanul would be the first time either of them senses Finn.

Finn’s being a Force void would also be a neat outgrowth of his character background, where he constantly feared being noticed and hurt. It would make sense for his Force ability to develop along these lines, as a shield and protection in a hostile environment. Others have pointed out that no one seeing or helping Finn in TLJ when he was walking around in a leaking bacta suit was weird, as was his being able to pull Rose back to the bunker on Crait in one piece. It’s “these are not the droids you are looking for” all over again, except not on just one person he’s directly interacting with but every single onlooker that he might not even be aware of. Imagine how useful that would have been in the dangerous environment he grew up in, where he could blend in and not be seen when, say, Kylo Ren was in a foul mood breaking things up nearby. His being able to avoid Force detection and harm would be on the same continuum of protection.

The fact the kylo has feelings makes everything he does so much worse imho. The fact that he couldn’t bring himself to fire the shot against his mother doesn’t mean anything when he did jack to try and stop anyone else from firing on her you know? That he apparently loved his dad but still murdered him? Horrifying.

Exactly. I’ve heard Kylo Ren described as weak, but the truth is the opposite. He is incredibly strong and has to put incredible effort into his atrocities overcoming the moral values instilled in him by good and loving parents. He believes so absolutely in his righteousness, his entitlement, that he’s willing to tear himself apart to do what he believes in. That’s absolutely terrifying and not something we’ve really seen in a SW villain.

I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defense mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.

Yep, this is a very, very common reason for procrastinating.  It’s also why procrastination, even though it’s often associated with laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of people with anxiety and perfectionism issues.

I took down my most recent Finn edits (the one with the Obi-Wan quote) because the last gif showed an ugly pixellation artifact on mobile. Will repost once I’ve redone the gif and tested it on mobile.

This seems to be a problem unique to the Tumblr mobile app, since I don’t get the pixellation on other apps like Dropbox and the default gallery app. I’ll try a couple more possible fixes with brightness and compression and such, and then just post the thing if those don’t do the trick.
