Let the past die…
My cupcake...😍
Your son is gone. He was weak and foolish, like his father, so I destroyed him.
Sometimes the things you hope for so dearly, with intense energy and focus, will never come to fruition. And you hope and hope and have faith in in and faith in hope, but it will never come to be. Many on the light side fall into this trap.
When Kylo Ren told Rey who her parents were, all her hopes of them coming back or being people of more importance, hope that they had to give her up reluctantly, and maybe once loved her, all that disintegrated.
Although, as many do, I do wonder if he is even telling her the truth, if he even has any knowledge of who her parents are. How does he know? Like a good dark side disciple, he may just be taking advantage of this fierce vulnerability of hers. Her trust in the good in people leaves her gullible to believe him, his lies.
Well, in her defense, how can one resist anything that pours forth from those delicious lips? I would happily lap up just about anything from them.
With his revelation, true or not, she was forced to stop. To give up hope…in them.
Sometimes we have to do that; sometimes hope is not enough to make it so, and sometimes someone in our life has to distinguish that hope for us because we are stubborn and want to believe that if we just trust to hope that this thing we most long for can actually come to be. Sometimes there will be no happy ending to one of our life’s stories no matter how much we hope for it.
But it provides a moment to move on, a moment to channel that sometimes obsessive energy into something new that could be. Rey also has hope that Kylo Ren can be redeemed, will she again put trust in hope with the possibility that she will have to accept that hoping something will not always make it so?
Now that she’s given up on the dream that is her parents, coming back to her, revealing their identity, she has that energy to place hope in Kylo Ren. Is she setting herself up again for disappointment? (I hope so, as I do not want Kylo Ren to be redeemed; I can’t lose my dark side cupcake.)
Oh how those on the light side willfully delude themselves with hope.
Disneyland churro for breakfast
Yes!!!
As much as I would love, love, love, love, LOVE a redemption story for Kylo Ren I have come to realize that what I would love even more is to see him just completely fall into darkness. I don’t know if its because I’m just really over “Happily Ever Afters” right now, or maybe I’m just too much a pessimist but I really find redemption stories cliche right now.
I want to see Kylo Ren just become completely engulfed in rage and sadness. I want to see more of him getting hurt, pounding his wounds, and completely annihilating his enemies. I want to see him just lose himself to the Dark Side completely. I’m sure there’s something wrong with me…..being completely attracted to a character who has no hope of being redeemed.
I think this scenario is completely attainable too. Considering our beloved Carrie Fisher has left us(RIP General), I could see them tying this into his descent into complete and utterly unredeemable chaos. I mean imagine….he killed his own father, and now soon he’s going to find out his mother died (I’m assuming that’s how they are going to do things). I mean IMAGINE. The one piece of light in his life is now gone. GONE. I mean, no one knows how long Snoke has been messing with Ren’s head. He’s been waiting for something to change so that he can dig his hooks into him even deeper. And now this is the perfect catalyst to basically ensure Ren never turns back to the light.
So in conclusion, I am 100% ready for a full blown Kylo Ren, Sith Lord.
I have many soft spots for Kylo Ren 😍💜
I really have a soft spot for Kylo Ren.
Her chin rested on the force field and her shoulders dropped as she sighed; she turned the pages of the ancient manuscript protected beneath. Her touch separated by millimeters of field -- so close to feeling the delicate pages that held so much power -- a power granted by its rarity, ability to survive a purge to hide the positive accomplishments of a man many planets urged its people to see as a demon, to be feared not revered. She pressed more for her face into the field to get closer, her fingers pressing hard onto the page an incomplete, interrupted caress of the page. She rested her head on her arm on the field, an exhaustion from the late hour and from the realization that what had been constantly challenged and denied to her in this place but shared with her as a child back home, ideas and points of view vehemently rejected lay in truth, millimeters from her touch. Jedi were willingly following lies about the Sith, perpetuated by the galaxy. A myth glorifying, denying, hiding the other points of view, pushing an incomplete picture of the truth.
