I'm so disappointed in Ca*t. But proud of the Reylo fandom for standing with the impacted writers. It's not the first time we've had to respond to bad behavior in the fandom and unfortunately it's unlikely to be the last. But let's make sure to pre-order these debuts and read the other impacted books. Keep lifting each other up!

Here’s “Chapter 16”. 👍

TITLE: Her Dark Prince

RATING: Explicit

SUMMARY:

“Ben Solo is no more; he was destroyed years ago when his uncle tried to kill him with a lightsaber. Now his name is Kylo Ren and he serves his Dark master, Snoke, to vanquish the galaxy. Everyone around him fears him . . . except for his sweet little ward, Rey. The young girl is all he cares for, all he fights to protect. But why did he have that surreal dream that she kissed him?”

Preordering all the upcoming Reylo books from the Barnes and Noble sale!

AITA If My Favorite Character is a Fascist?

Uh oh. The Fascsplainers are at it again. Yes, we know what fascism is, thx.

[moonyinpisces]

if you're still doing "top 5s", what ARE the top 5 ships you unfortunately have?

okay none of these are major ships but we’re going best to worst

5. zuko/katara from a:tla. i don’t think this one is bad but i remember past mutuals clowning on me for not shipping zuko and sokka

4. link/revali from botw. not only do i love the bond between zelda and link more than this one, but also, more significantly: revali is a bird

3. loki/jane foster from thor. i know i’m a marvel hater but thor is the first and only one i saw and the ff.net game for these two was insane

2. i won’t count this one as a single ship and i don’t ever “browse” in this fandom but i like all the “cornerstone” ship fics in the harry potter universe unironically. all the young dudes, manacled, lumos… i’m sorry

1. reylo

I was talking about my experience with a portion of the fandom, not the entirety. I was there, I saw the things people were saying and how things were twisted to excuse the racism. Especially the push that John had no respect for and was over sexualizing Daisy.

Again, ship whatever you want, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with Reylo. It doesn’t do it for me, but that’s fine. However, as I pointed out, a portion of that same fandom is now clinging to Oshamir and seemingly projecting their long lost Reylo wants and entitlements on to them, and it’s not fun for me to see. Which you only further prove my point of, by dismissing what I’m saying.

“Why would racists ship PoC?” because some of them don’t care that Osha and Qimir aren’t white, solely because to them it’s a matter of vindication. They don’t see them as new characters, but as Reylo stand-ins. Which is why I also said, if either Amandla or Manny say a single thing the racist and entitled fans don’t like, they’ll be hit with the same backlash as John. Don’t play the fool.

Back to the point though, I’m wasn’t talking about every single Reylo out there. I’m enjoying the fan art and theories, and a lot of it is coming from Reylos, but that doesn’t erase what was. A lot of the hate John got was purely racist, and some of it did stem from him not shipping Rey and Kylo. In fact, a good example of that brewing again is the fans who are trying to uplift Osha/Jecki over Oshamir, in negative ways. Not everyone, but we all saw that account on Twitter (and the many who co-signed) trying to make it seem like killing off Jecki was to sideline a lesbian ship. When really, Jecki was underage, was she not? But also, Dafne Keen is white, which speaks to the fandom racism overall.

The Star Wars fandom as a whole is not welcoming, which I also stated. Amandla is being talked down upon solely because they’re Black, and Kelly Marie Tran was treated horribly during her run as well. Not by Reylos to my knowledge, so I’m not pretending like they were the ultimate toxicity within the fandom. They weren’t, but to act as if it was 100% in defense of Daisy is disingenuous.

So if we focus on what I said, which was seeing so many of them on my feeds now, and seeing how a lot of them are using Oshamir as a sort of shield to ignore how things went down, rubs me the wrong way. It makes the Oshamir fandom not as fun, for me. It doesn’t mean every Reylo here was a weirdo back in the day, but maybe you’re white and simply don’t get it? I don’t know.

Either way, the topic of the post wasn’t up for debate. It was me expressing my thoughts about being an Oshamir shipper.

Lastly, yes, Reylos party in the Oshamir tag, but you can’t expect people not to tag Oshamir posts accordingly to avoid angering other shippers. The “Oshamir” tag is Osha and Qimir’s playground, and while I will be sure to not go out of my way to offend anyone, I’m not going to not post my thoughts. So if you don’t want to read anything else I’ve got to say, that’s fine. Block away, because biting my tongue to avoid potentially offending Reylos in a tag that does not belong to their fandom, is not happening.

To other Reylos who may read this, understand I’m not coming for your ship nor your entire fandom. I’m talking specifically about how seeing racist undertones from some Reylos in the Oshamir fandom is reminding me of what happened in the past. If you aren’t or weren’t one of those people, this post nor my previous one is referring to you.

Hello, my Reylo beauties! Here is “Chapter 1” of my new fic, written for the Twilight Zone Reylo Collection II. It’s inspired by both the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney and the Elevator Game you might’ve seen on the Internet. 🖤🤍

TITLE: Elevator to Another Dimension

RATING: Explicit

SUMMARY:

“Long ago, on a stormy night much like this, movie star Ben Solo disappeared after lightning struck the elevator shaft of the Twilight Tower Hotel. Ever since then, the allegedly haunted hotel has sat closed, unwanted, and abandoned. But now, decades later, the hotel is to be renovated. Rey, a lover of classic Ben Solo films, has been tasked with bringing the broken-down elevator back to life.

What secrets does the old elevator hold? And what really happened to Ben Solo all those years ago? When she steps inside the elevator, Rey just might discover that elevators can take you to more than different floors in a building. In fact, elevators may actually have the ability to transport you to . . . another dimension.”

About to start my research in seeing if my hypothesis that this was once a dramione fanfiction is true or not.

[vintageseawitch]

you could just try getting better taste. reylo isn't even that interesting lol

did you also get sad about a book you read or wanted to read only to find out it was once a Reylo fic?

there are literally millions of other books & hobbies you can focus on then 💅✨️🎆💖🤗

“You can’t tell me that reylo isn’t popular when the published fic sells well!”

Quick couple of questions here for you:

•Is it licensed as Reylo fic?

•Is it approved Reylo fic?

•Did Disney say you could publish Reylo fic in an official manner under their logo?

•Are Rey and Kylo named as Rey and Kylo in said fic?

•Is it still Reylo fic?

If the answer to these questions is “no” then congrats! You’ve just discovered that the ‘Published Reylo’ is not actually Reylo at all. It’s what you call INSPIRED. There’s a huge difference.
