I'll be back after the next movie. All the prompts now are just repeats of prior prompts.

Nah I hate Reylo. I just also hate armchair psych comments about how shipping is what a person subconsciously desires or whatever bullshit.

Unless you're a filler looking for interesting new prompts, I fail to see why your reason for leaving is worth mentioning... Or why you felt the need to tell us you were leaving at all. Is this some kind of passive-agressive way to tell people to prompt something different, or that their recent prompts suck, or something? Because you could have just said that.

It may be that way for you, but as the rest of the comments on here have shown, it's not that way for everyone.

I don't think you're wrong about gravitating to fiction or elements of fiction because they're things we like but may miss in our personal life, but I also think it's a bit more complicated than just being about relationships. Hux is my favorite character because he represents my hopes and fears for my professional life, and I 'ship him with Kylo Ren because a) most of the good Hux fics are Kylux and b) it's nice to know that you can have the respect and fear of the galaxy and also a decent sex life with someone who challenges you.

I'd never ever want a Kylux relationship, but I want a Hux career that ends with fewer explosions.

Do we have a promo thread yet for ppl's SW sideblogs or themed blogs?

I dunno. The things we go for in fiction can reflect things we want for ourselves... or things that interest us, frighten or horrify us, make us sad... Fiction is all about evoking an emotional response, but that response is usually a lot more complicated than "yeah, I (subconsciously) want me some of that."

Re: TFA and non-OST songs (and playlists)

"You May Be Right" by Billy Joel is my go-to ~Poe~ song.

"Revolution" by Diplo for Finn.

Don't recall my Rey song at the moment.

Re: What's the appeal of RPF?

(Anonymous) 2016-06-28 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
My main fandoms, until TFA came out, have mostly been RPF fandoms (I haven't been very active in them in recent years though).

I started writing in those fandoms because they were big non-fannish fandoms of mine and I also liked to write stories. Usually I'd come up with ideas and then figure out which personas of celebs I fancied fit the idea the best.

Due to shifting of interests, and six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon type connections to the people I used to write about, I've moved on. Also, I guess, more of my media fandoms having more holes for my to plug in than before kind of helps?

The interrogation and fight scene has even more Reylo. Kylo being into Rey is canon, as Leland Chee (official keeper of the Holocron) has declared the game canon.

*raises hand* I'm a Kylux shipper, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that neo-Nazi scumbags can be great in bed.

But they are not good to date.

I don't really care about xenophobia in the First Order, though, as far as I'm concerned they're perfectly generic bad guys with no particular ideology besides "Rule the galaxy!" and just find stuff to talk shit about the New Republic.

Is that supposed to be Reylo? It just looks like...a bad guy saying bad guy stuff? Am I reading it wrong?

No wonder the FinnRey side of fandom is intellectually and creatively stunted. You have the delusion that you ship teletubbies, don't you? I'm so sorry.

DA

I'm pretty sure a one-sided Kylo being into Rey is canon. Like, after he gets defeated by Rey in one-on-one Force confrontation he goes to whine at Snoke and otherwise displays none of his usual tantrum behaviours. Considering this is Kylo "Tantrum" Ren we're talking about, to me that suggests he's not really upset to have been beaten.

The next scene they meet, Kylo's trying to recruit her, rather than say, make excuses about why he lost or take out all his piss-baby feels on her. Conclusion: Kylo got his ass handed to him by Rey and would maybe like her to do it again.

Unfortunately, Rey hasn't read enough fic and doesn't realise that hate-banging is a thing, so Reylo is pretty one-sided. But I'm always happy to read the fic where Rey does come to the realisation that hate-sex has a winner and that winner is her.
