I mean yeah it all comes back to her being a reylo, the way people still talk about them shocks me. Idk if i've ever seen shippers from such a mainstream popular ship get treated this way when honestly....reylo isn't even that problematic. I would argue something like darklina is more problematic and those shippers don't get 1/3 of the shit reylos get. Hell I could name you other more problematic ships where the shippers don't get nearly as much hate as reylos.

Well, to be very fair a lot of reylos said a lot of out of pocket, racist (and specifically antiblack) shit about John Boyega and Finn. I don't want to downplay the shit John Boyega went through making those movies.

And in turn, a lot of finnreys said some really fucked up, racist (specifically anti-Asian) shit about Kelly Marie Tran and Rose... and I do think that gets downplayed a LOT. Like, if we're going to talk about racist fandom antics in SW, and there are a lot of them, then let's talk about all of it. Obviously, all of this goes beyond shipping, but the interesting phenomenon that did happen with the reylo stuff is that because they didn't want Rey with Finn, many of them did support Finnrose (and by the way, lol--I'm not into Finnrey because in general I don't like Rey outside of TLJ and I frankly though Finn deserved better on every level, and I wouldn't consider myself a Reylo, but I AM into Finnrose, and to a lesser extent Finnpoe). For some, I do think that was a "get Finn out of Rey's path" thing, for sure--but also, setting Finn up with a cool pretty girl to get him away from Rey is... not the worst thing lol. And I would also say that many did seem to genuinely like that ship, and a lot of the reylo fic authors I saw back in the day used to write some good Finnrose shit.

(Also: Roselo? Let's get into it. I would kill for Rian to cast Adam and Kelly in a Benoit Blanc movie, the chances that Adam would do it are MIDDLING but still.)

I think the main reason why the reylo thing got much bigger, tbh, is that it's Star Wars. Darklina is in theory more problematic (though to me it's very much a draw because while I personally do not find Kylo Ren as like, threatening as the Darkling, he's still a prominent cog in a dictatorial fascist-aligned regime and he did kill a lot of innocent people, so, you know, fair) but S&B is NOTHING compared to SW. I think in general shippers are loathed by a lot of old school SW die-hards because Shipping = Kissing and Kissing is Gross, and Bad People Bad, except for Vader because Vader Cool. They make exceptions for Han and Leia because they still jerk it to Leia to this day and it's a part of the old lore, and a lot of them just want to be Han Solo in a way I don't think a lot of them wanted to be Kylo Ren.

And then you combine that with the morality police who really just like. Didn't like reylo for whatever reason, but decided to take on the idea that it's HORRRRRIIIIIBLEEEE to ship a bad guy with someone (when like--I personally cannot STAND Anidala, but you would have no SW if a bad guy hadn't fucked someone back in the day... tepidly, I imagine, but it happened). The idea of using moral righteousness to justify your ship has always been a thing, right? (If we're keeping it real here: while I do think that a lot of reylo antis were genuinely concerned about racism with that ship, I also think that many of the white antis.... were only concerned with racism when it suited them. I mean, where were they when Kelly was getting death threats? Care about it for everyone, you know?) But I think it became a much bigger thing when it was reylo.

Then in turn, the reylos reacted by becoming more cultlike, because that's what happens when you vilify people for wanting to ship something. And they became wackier, and the lore became more kNOWN. Like, again--I don't personally ship reylo. I find the dynamic compelling in TLJ; I think Adam and Daisy have great chemistry in that movie; I think that he and Rian pulled her best work in the trilogy out of her; and I think that that movie is the only one where Rey feels like an actual human being, versus a girlboss cypher. She's human, she idolizes Luke and then realizes he's only human, she experiences disappointment, she experiences DOUBT about morality, she is, I believe, genuinely pretty horny for Kylo Ren in that movie (imo, Rey probably has like, zero sexual experience lol, but I also doubt that he has much either), and the idea of her wanting to be SOMETHING only to find out she's NOT THAT is really interesting. I find the idea of her being tempted to become his Dark Empress or whatever, and the idea of him being both an incredibly weird, dark, amoral person who's all about assuaging his own Feelings because mommy and daddy didn't love him the way he wanted them to... and someone who else wants this girl to bounce on it as his Dark Empress.... really interests me.

I didn't want to see them have babies. I didn't want to see them be happily ever after. I wanted to see her kill him while kissing him or something. Which I don't think was what a lot of reylos wanted, right? So it kind of made that ship inaccessible to me, and I imagine a lot of people who might've otherwise been into it. And I think things like "grey force babies" or whatever naturally made it seem more ridic, which of course happens with any ship (BOATBABY.......) but the size of the fandom and the ship made it seem bigger.

But because that ship was so archetypal (big bad man, girl onto which you could project whatever you wanted because she has like zero personality in 2/3 movies) it was easier for allll of these fic writers to do whatever they wanted with the dynamic, to pass the fic around, to do weird shit with it. And I think that tends to happen with bad/good ships. The fic writers have something very iconic to cling to, and they can do more with it, and therefore the fic is better, and that makes the ship bigger. The ship evolves into the fanon version, and then everyone who hates it hates it more because that ship is getting what they want. It reminds me of Darklina, Dramione (and for the record Dramione is something like... Go with God, but I do nOT. GET. THE DRAMIONE RENAISSANCE LOL.), Haladriel. Because reylo was again, so big though, there were more writers and more types of fic and it just got More More More.

So yeah, I think it's all kind of a snake eating its own tail thing. And now everyone who hated reylo anyway hates it even more because of all these reylo authors getting book deals, and often having solid success (or better). You can make a lot of critiques about why that's happening with a white ship versus a ship featuring poc, but that's beyond reylo and gets into fandom racism and racism in publishing AT LARGE. It's a bigger thing than just "the reylos did this".

But yeah, I personally don't really find Reylo all that shocking or perverse a ship. I've shipped worse lol. I just think there are a lot of really complicated things that have less to do with the SHIP than the shipping culture. Some of those things are super valid. However, I also think that this narrative occurred wherein it was like "the only toxic ones are the reylos" and... Yeah dude, there were plenty of toxic reylos. However... The Kelly Marie Tran of it all is where I really start getting bugged, because what happened to her and her character was one of the grossest things that happened in that franchise, and LET US BE REAL, the driving force behind that was not the reylos. (Nor do I want to imply that it was all finnreys--a lot of the SW fandom in general is super fucked re: basically any people of color in prominent roles.)

SOLACE

by Vanessa Mae Roselo

Have you been hard towards yourself lately? Feeling like everything good that's been happening to you, all of it- weren't supposed to happen? That, you don't deserved it? Why are you so hard on yourself, by the way? Is it because, you treat people unkindly? Is it because you're not working hard for something, yet you always receive something good?

I used to think about this self-sabotaging thoughts, all the time. In constant fear of being happy, because tomorrow might be sorrowful. Lately, I've been having a throwback of almost everything. From the life of mine that's been miserable, to a life today- quite satisfying, but still searching for something. I struggled in finding peace, whenever I'm too emotional and angry. I used to say the most hurtful and horrid things, whenever I feel pain. None of those people deserved it. Nor do I, It was easy for me to spew those words out- just like a bubblegum gone bland after minutes of chewing. The worst thing comes after, all the emotional distress and overthinking- came inside my door of thoughts, just like an uninvited guests- rummaging on things they weren't supposed to touch. I felt bad, really bad, saying all those words to those people. But, I can't take it back. Words hurt more than stabbed wounds. Wounds heal, but those painful words that you've casted unto them, will never be forgotten- just like a mark, completely embedded deep within their thoughts. Just waiting, like a bubble, eager to pop when stung by something sharp. Just like those words, sharp as a needle.

In this blog, i'll try to make you all be more sympathetic and understanding. Because, that's what I'm trying so hard to attain right now. For me, being sympathetic is easy, but to be understanding? It takes a lot of patience and willingness to fully understand a person. It's a little difficult to understand someone when you're not in someone else's shoe, right? But do you know, it takes just one ear and a close mouth to fully understand a person? Recently, I've come across a video- where this one person introduces the 5 second rule. According to her, it's quite easy. Before saying anything to a person, you have to make sure that you can fix the problem within 5 seconds. For example, you can say "Oh, you have something on your teeth", she can fix those something in her teeth just for 5 seconds, but if you say, "I just noticed that you have a really crooked teeth". Those teeth can't be fixed for five seconds, so you better just keep it to yourself. It just means, that not everyone is living their best life. Some of us struggled about something, some is battling with unknown cause. It just takes a word to inspire or shake a person down.

Being sympathetic and understanding can go a long way. I hope, as you continue your day today, choose kind words to someone you just met or to the person confiding in you. You never know what he's been going through.

[skiplo-wave]

Ben: Okay one iced mocha for Finn, Dragon Fruit tea for Rose,  Spice-hot coco EXTRA whip cream for Jannah, and for Rey the cinnamon apple pie milkshake with double dip of caramel on top. Did I forget anyone?

Poe: Yeah actually I order the-

Ben: Great! So what’s mission for today?

[bafflersystem]

The fact that Rose Tico and Kylo Ren never met in the movies is outrageous.

A month has passed. I honestly believed that Kelly’s Monsterland episode would spark a boom of Gothic AU Rose fics, and I am dissapointed.

I mean, this is a line from Elizabeth Wein’s Cobalt Squadron:

“Cold and dark, Hays Minor had been so far from the sun that its inhabitants had lived in perpetual twilight.”

All of you are sleeping on this!
