Why I Ship Kylo Ren And Rey

The Reylo is strong with this one

Why I Ship Kylo Ren And Rey
Screenrant.com

I’m not into science fiction at all, but I. Love. Star Wars. It’s an amazing series (excluding episodes 1-3, which were garbage), and I get butterflies every time I think of it. And of course, I had to see "The Last Jedi" on Christmas day. It was pretty much phenomenal, and it was all because of Rey and Kylo Ren. They had so much chemistry that I think I drooled a little in my seat. Or was that because of Adam Driver? Probably the latter.


For people that don’t know, let me break it down for you.

SPOILERS AHEAD:

Rey is the main female character in the New Republic, a resistance group that is fighting the First Order. She is first seen in Episode VII, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." She was abandoned on planet Jakku by her parents. But one day, she found BB-8, a droid that carried information on Luke Skywalker’s whereabouts. She meets Finn, a First Order deserter, and they team up with Han Solo and Chewbacca. They go on this epic adventure to deliver the Skywalker info to General Leia Organa, Luke’s twin sister and Han’s estranged wife. That’s some baggage. But moving forward, Rey discovers her Jedi powers along the journey but is captured by the very sexy First Order leader Kylo Ren, born Ben Solo. That’s right—Han and Leia’s kid went to the Dark Side. Duh duh dunnn. There is an instant connection but also a deep hate. Kylo Ren goes and kills his father, Han Solo, and Rey and Kylo Ren duel, and she wounds him. Then the planet they are on starts to break apart. Starkiller Base explodes and the day is saved. But what about this power between Rey and Kylo Ren??

In the next episode, an excited fanbase Supreme Leader Snoke force a mental link between the two characters, allowing Rey and Kylo Ren to see and talk to each other through space. Rey uses these meetings to convince Kylo Ren/Ben to come to the Light, the Force, whatever you wanna call it. Switch to the good guys. It seems to be working when he kills Snoke and all the First Order guards and asks her to run away with him. Oh my god. And you’re like, “Hell yeah, they’re gonna get together!” Crime fighting motha' fuckas. They gonna help the Jedi population, you know what I'm saying?


But, there is one question we are all dying to know—who are Rey’s parents?

Many people say that Luke Skywalker fathered Rey. Will Episode IX end with, “Rey, I am your father”? If Skywalker is her father, then that makes Kylo Ren her cousin.

I don’t care.

I ship Kylo Ren and Rey whether they are cousins or not. I mean, I literally do not care. It’s kind of gross, but I’m not here to judge. I am here to see some serious make-out scenes in the last "Star Wars" movie. I am here because if I can’t get any, Kylo Ren and Rey (are they calling it Reylo? That's stupid, it should be Kylo-Rey) should get some. Shun me if you must, but when they touched hands, I think my estrogen levels rose. It's not my fault I am proposing incest. It's just that they have undeniable chemistry, and have you seen Adam Driver shirtless? I just can't imagine not getting with that chest— I mean, body— I mean, person. Rey is just so good and Kylo Ren is so evil. It's the classic good-girl-tries-to-change-bad-boy.

Does Rey love Kylo Ren? This article says they are deeply attracted to each other but want different things. And Bustle says their union is a terrible idea because Leia and Han might be her parents, which makes them siblings. Also, the mass murderer thing. Let me tell you, I don’t believe for a second that Leia and Han had a daughter they abandoned on the planet, Jakku. First, they were good parents. Second, "Star Wars" already did the twin thing. Not saying they won’t do the cousin thing, but really? If Kylo Ren murdered Beyoncé tomorrow, I’d probably say, “Well, she had a great run.” I don’t care how many people he murdered, he could still turn out to be a good person in the end. And if not, Rey should marry him, spawn a Jedi army to overthrow him, divorce him and take all his money.

I know what you’re thinking. I haven’t forgotten that Kylo Ren said Rey’s parents were junkie addicts that sold her for drugs. That may be true. I hope it’s true. Then their union wouldn’t be disturbing. Is Kylo Ren a liar? Bustle seems to think that he told her that to assuage himself that their relationship was okay. He is pretty duplicitous, but he always seems genuine with Rey. Maybe Bustle got it right. Maybe he just wants it to be true that they aren't related.

I don't care if they're related. They're fictional characters., but more importantly, they're hot. And that's all that matters, frankly.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
