In the midst of the Oshamir hype, I want a moment to dive back into the roots of this blog.
My hopes for Reylo pre-TROS post-TLJ were high. Ben being redeemed was only a part of what I wanted for them. I wanted them to live HEA, and I don’t understand WHY that didn’t happen, when it could’ve made such a better ending. I guess redemption= death in SW.
Which is why while part of me is excited and invested in where this new ship might be going, another part of me is a bit envious.
It has been four years since we lost Ben, and I still think about it a lot. How much I leaned into the character in high school, knowing that he deserved better, and how much the writers let him down. How I STILL lean into him as my creative muse.
And you’re telling me it was THAT easy to put together two actors with good chemistry and write them a Star Wars romance where the legitimacy isn’t as questioned, where the writer seems to be on our side and where the ending of these two characters might even be…hmmm…
Satisfactory? Maybe even great?
I don’t want to get ahead of myself as I know that there’s a chance that these two new characters could go down a different path.
But still.
There’s obviously space for excitement here on the blog and there’s also space for those who haven’t forgotten what they did to Ben.
I
haven't forget...
Haven't move on...
Here I Stand, & Stay
Until they fucking bring back my Boy for Rey.
