Obi-wan with the skywalker twins <3

(from an unfinished piece from ages ago that i found on my iPad, other than the weirdly small baby heads, im impressed with how it looks considering my art skillz at the time!)

BEN SOLO IS ALIVE I SWEAR

The line “You’re nothing, but not to me” is unfortunately one of the most misunderstood lines in The Last Jedi, and reading Pride and Prejudice has strengthened that perspective for me. The comparisons people made between Mr. Darcy and Kylo’s botched proposals were not unwarranted. They fail to win over the heroine in a similar way, and both insult her lower status with a combination of arrogance and awkwardness.

People are entitled to their interpretations of that scene, but it’s my view that calling Kylo’s proposal “negging” or “manipulative” is a bit surface-level. It’s missing the context of his prideful attitude and attributing to him a level of deceit that I don’t think is substantiated by the film. Yes, he’s insulting her humble beginnings, but he’s also being sincere about how he cares for Rey (even if he’s communicating it poorly). The word “nobody” and “nothing” pertain more to her status as a non-legacy character/peasant as opposed her worth as a person.

Apologies for the rambling! I love your posts and I just wanted to shout into the void.

He's not being prideful or arrogant or manipulative at all, he is earnestly and sincerely trying to express to her that where she came from doesn't matter, her family abandoning her etc. doesn't matter, he values her entirely for her own sake.

Ben is terrible at communicating, so he fucks this up, but what he is trying to tell her is beautiful, romantic, and exactly what she needs to hear. He is being incredibly honest, calling for her to realise that she's lying to herself about her family, telling her she is not anyone's legacy, but she doesn't need to be and he loves her anyway. He wants her to see the truth and be free, he is not negging her. This is a gorgeous sentiment being expressed by a damaged person doing his best.

once again i love how star wars takes place in a massive galaxy with thousands of planets and billions of people, and yet every bounty hunter knows each other personally

“Do not speak to me as if we are familiar.”

Hunger flickers across his expression, eyeing her like a nectar-laced blossom, ripe for plucking. He only needs to peel back the petals. “I can be as familiar as you desire, my lady. Just say the word.”

“Give me your name—” she bellows, cheeks burning, “and only your name, serpent!”

At this, he sets his jaw before surging forward in a fluid, gliding motion. Several horses in the stable let out frightened neighs. He leaves no distance between them, till the sheer breadth of him covers her entirety in shadow. He stares down at her haughtily—a look of someone who has lived too long, seen too much.

“Do not shout, child,” he murmurs silkily. A warning. “It’s impolite.”

presenting the stunning commission by the amazing, talented, wonderful, lovely @meetingyourmaker for my fic dulce periculum which depicts the scene of Death revealing his human form and name as Kylo Ren before the noblewoman Rey. The elements of horses on his robes and the rose borders are fantastic details that Maia translated from my work and her own interpretation and ideas and suggestions—so yes, my dear friends, i can confirm she is a genius!!!!!!!!

please enjoy and share the artist some love too 💕

So, I've worked on this portrait of Adam Driver for over a month. It's acrylic paint on canvas. I've not had the confidence to work a canvas in 10 years. Not one hit on Twitter, not hardly a blip on the radar on Instagram.

I think I'm failing as an artist and as a human being.

Spent the last few months questioning my worth, severely depressed, and wondering if anything good is ever going to happen to me again.

Maybe this is my magnum opus piece? My swan song? Going away present? I can't decide at this point. 🥹😅

Regardless, I present to the internet world an acrylic portrait of Adam Driver on canvas entitled, "Fortunate Son." 🙏
