Reanimator fans what movies are we forcing them to watch?

#I’m definitely making Herbert watch ‘Cannibal women of the avocado jungle of death’ #his misogynistic ass would HATE it #I’m forcing him to read bell hooks #he will be a feminist by the time I’m done with him #reanimator

Since I am still salty about this

Every time I see a Reylo post, I get reminded just how much I hated the ending of TROS, which includes the abrupt change in Rey’s character, so here’s rant & some lists/meta.

I am still very annoyed by Rey's reaction to Ben' death, so here’s a list of 5 times Rey was grieving or was at least extremely concerned about someone’s well-being vs. TROS ending. The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker are all there. Daisy Ridley is an amazing actress, and this has nothing to do with her.

I am also including a second list of all the times Rey expressed concern and compassion for Ben, almost all of which were more emotionally intense and satisfying than her reaction to his death.

Rewatching all these scenes has reminded me what a sweet character Rey is; she expresses her emotions so easily and is really in touch with her feelings. The ending of TROS is so out of character for her. Making these lists has also reminded me just how frequently Rey experienced tragedy over the course of the three movies.

I wish Ben lived, of course.

Please keep in mind that a good part of this post talks about character deaths in Star Wars, so please proceed with caution. You might find the content triggering; I have used all the trigger warnings/“tw” tags that I could think of.

Let’s go.

1-2 - TFA

1. Han dies

At this point, Rey barely knows Han (I think she has known him for exactly one day here), and still, this is her reaction to him being stabbed/thrown off the bridge. She gets easily attached to people and that she cares deeply. Rey yells, she cries.

Interestingly, her grief lasts in TFA - this is her returning to the Resistance base after Han’s death:

For contrast, here is Rey returning to the Resistance base after Ben Solo’s death; they had known each other for some time and had a very complex relationship, where they were both vulnerable with each other/bonded through the Force, saved each other’s lives multiple times, and were in love/attracted to each other:

It’s almost scary how quickly she gets over the whole thing.

2. Finn get injured

This scene lasts for a a pretty long time - unlike the segment where Ben disappears/dies and Rey is alone. When it comes to the emotional reaction, while you can argue that Rey is aware that she may die as well (the planet is collapsing), and that that adds to her sadness and concern, it’s still pretty clear that she cares about Finn deeply. She is again crying, and she also starts hugging him almost immediately after she finds him passed out.

Bonus - we can feel the despair in this shot of the gloomy forest:

There was nothing to even symbolically indicate Rey’s profound sadness/loneliness/despair after Ben dies. She does end up alone in a desert, but this is presented both as a happy event and unrelated to her Force dyad soulmate dying. The return to the desert was also awful, but that’s a rant for another time.

This is also a beautiful and very dramatic shot:

This TFA scene would make me think that Rey cares more about Finn, even after knowing him for a very short time and very superficially, than she does about Ben at the end of the trilogy, if I were to compare her “shrug emoji” reaction to this one. However, I would assume that she cares about someone that she shares a connection that spans across space and time and that she is in love with, and a person she met that day, who is admittedly very likeable and who has helped her, in equal measure, at least.

Like with Han, this is Rey still being concerned after they get back to the Resistance base; she is reaching out to see if Finn is alright:

3 - TLJ

3. Luke’s death

Luke dies in this one. Rey talks about it with Leia, and says that it was peaceful and purposeful, which I believe is meant to, in part, explain why they are both not grieving more than this:

Please keep in mind that what I say in this paragraph is completely within the confines of the movies/the narrative and fantasy - it does not apply to real life. I guess that something along those lines could be applied to Ben’s death in TROS - that it was with a purpose - saving Rey. However, I just cannot compare Luke - who had a much longer life and a much less tormented existence overall, and who sacrificed himself to “right the wrong that he did”, which was “creating Kylo Ren” in the first place - dying to save the Resistance, to his nephew dying after he knew happiness for probably the first time in his life, after decades of abuse. A digression, but here is Luke vs. Ben, who is shaking, around the time when they made the decision to sacrifice themselves:

TROS had one of the most depressing movie endings I have ever seen.

4-5 - TROS

4. Rey accidentally zaps the ship that she thought Chewbacca was in

I have no idea how close Rey and Chewbacca are, but here’s how she reacts when she is convinced that Chewie is dead:

5. Leia

Leia dies and Rey senses it in the Force. This is probably the most miserable we ever see Rey. She has just lost her mother figure - it is difficult to watch:

Ok, now Rey expressing concern for Ben:

1. TFA - planet collapsing

This is a subtle one, and she is either concerned (she left Kylo Ren/Ben to die, injured) or she is intrigued by their meeting and is reflecting on it (some third option is a possibility - for example, she noticed a ship come pick him up):

2. TLJ - Ben explains to Rey that Luke tried to kill him

She calls him a liar, and while she might also be crying because she is shocked to learn such a thing and is disappointed in Luke, she is clearly sad about the whole thing:

3. TLJ - Rey is mad that Luke tried to kill Ben

Rey is protective when it comes to the people (and droids) she cares about. You could argue that in this scene she is angry about all the events that stemmed from “Luke creating Kylo Ren”, and that that’s why she is in fight mode. Still, it’s shown that she has developed some feelings for Ben:

4. TLJ - Rey sees Kylo getting strangled during the Throne room fight:

5. TLJ - The “you are breaking my heart! You are going down a path that I can't follow” moment:

6. TROS - Rey healing Ben

While she is still overwhelmed and crying due to Leia’s passing, Rey turns towards Ben (my interpretation is that she is also wondering what his feelings concerning his mother’s death are, due to their strained relationship) and then looks at his wound:

Rey informs Ben that she wanted to take his hand after she is done healing him:

She shifts from grieving for Leia, to grieving the relationship that she could have had with Ben.

7. TROS - Rey realizing Ben has arrived to help her fight Palpatine

I love this moment ^

I think that all of these moments show that Rey does care about Ben, deeply. These are her reactions to events that are not as final as his death.

And finally - Ben dying:

The way this scene is presented, it really seems that Rey is frowning primarily because she is confused - she doesn’t understand why Ben is acting all weird:

Rey when she comprehends that Ben is dead:

That’s it. There is no screaming, crying, trying to hold him, nothing.

And then

She doesn’t even mention Ben dying to anyone (there is no discussing Luke’s death-type scene). I am presuming that she has to bring it up, and fast, since this is also the Supreme Leader who has just died, she is the only one who knows for certain he is dead, and Rey and all her friends are... politically involved, but this probably happens off-screen then.

I could add that Rey holds a sort of a funeral for Leia and Luke (burying the lightsabers), but that she does not do anything similar for Ben.

If you have made it to the end of the post, please let me know what your thoughts are!

Thanks for reading, This has been therapeutic.

Group B Round 2

[image ID: the first image is the book cover of The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death. the title is stylized to seem as if it's listed on a theater marquee, and there are 5 characters, lit in a green glow, gathered around what is likely the Avocado in question. it's covered in switches and wires are attached to it. the second image is of Red Savarin, an anthropomorphic red fox. he's chewing on a bone, carrying a large red sword, and wearing a blue and red outfit with shorts, knee and chest armor, and a small, red cape or shawl with white fur lining. there are also green gems attached to his shoulders, chest, and hips. end ID]

Uncle Flipping Hades Terwilliger

This man is a parody of many badass international men of mystery, who I had never heard of when I first read this book at age 9, so I just thought he was the coolest motherfucker alive. And I was right. He was kidnapped, kept in a vat of egg foo young, and forced to watch German comedies, and all he had to say was "I enjoy German comedies," the sick bastard. I don't know how well-known this book is but it deserves to be better-known.

Red Savarin

AUGAGHGHAGAGGAGA MY AWESOME LITTLE DS FURRY GAME THAT FLOPPED SO BAD IT ONLY SOLD 100k COPIES WORLDWIDE, hes so sooooo silly solatorobo is honestly an awesome game with a great soundtrack painted backgrounds in towns cool setting and awesome character designs it pushed the ds graphics to its limits tbh and red savarin is my funny little guy, i think he has a little bit of transgender swag. i dont wanna spoil anything but honestly his backstory on paper is kind of funny because its like something i would write at 13 but it works and is great. hes a funny little shiba with a stupid gun sword i hate drawing thats only like useful in game like 4 times at most lol and an awesome robot mech. unfortunately hes french tho rip

last month, i very suddenly had to say goodbye to avocado, my cat and familiar of 16 years. it was devastating, and honestly i've just been doing my best to keep my head above water emotionally since then. also, as an extra blow, this happened literally the night before the last day of the school year, i'm a teacher with no summer job, and it left me with a $1400 vet/cremation bill. if you would like to read about avocado's life (and death), and maybe contribute some funds to help with these costs, i have an entire blog post up on my ko-fi here. literally anything you can spare helps. he was a truly special and amazing cat, and the world sucks a little more without him in it, but i'm getting through the best i can.

ginny and felix are grieving in their own ways; ginny wants more cuddles, and felix walks around the house sobbing (seriously; we've had to start giving her rescue remedy to help her). they miss him just as much as i do, and it breaks my heart to see them hurting as well. but here we are.

I finally finished them!

These took many, many hours. Many. Like, a lot. So many. I love myself too much to count how many fucking stitches I put there but rest assured that it was Too Many.

The brainrot is real, friends. I stabbed my fingers many times with it.

I'm going to frame them I think! But for now they are just hanging on my shelf like this.

Patterns free to use if you give credit! Also i changed them half-way through (esp the cat) so check that they look how you want them to

Please reblog to spread! I might put these on twitter/instagram and tag some of the cast if I dare, since this is Wholesome Fanart, but we'll see.
