Why I Ship Kylo Ren And Rey

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.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
