The difference between the dark and light sides appeared to be in how
they feel to those who are aware of them. The light side at times was
described as a flowing river: soothing, constant, with hidden strength.
In contrast, the dark side was described as a roaring fire: obviously
powerful, seductive, and potentially dangerous.(x)
Disclaimer: bullfighting is a highly controversial topic. My meta is not an apology of bullfighting, I am not taking any stance in this particularly sensitive subject. I do not condone animal cruelty, and I am not trying to glorify it. I am merely illustrating what I think is an influence in the aesthetic or reference behind the duel on Crait between Luke and Kylo.
Precision: I will only focus on the movies (not the TV shows or comics, books or EU). I was going to write just on Crait but as I was working on the post, it seemed to me really important to address the theme of blood throughout the movies in order to better understand the impact of that scene. So bear with me throughout the digression about blood in Star Wars.
It starts with the idea that Crait is probably the goriest scene in all of SW in intent, if not so much in reality. Which makes it quite unique. But also seems like a logical apex in a trilogy (the ST that is) which could very well be a “trilogy of blood”.
Thanks for joining me!

We need an update on how many of us there are!
As this site goes up in flames, the wonderful and talented @reyl-hoe suggested making a sort of “Reylo phonebook” for all of us to put our social media/ways to contact us should we all go under.
As someone who loves spreadsheets, who loves this community, and who loves all of you, I would love to take on this task.
@the-reylo-void, @star-beam, and whoever else was in that thread – put me down for the job.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE
Since January of 2015, I have been compiling an archive of Star Wars art. So far this has been secret and precious to me, but because of the recent announcement I would like to offer my archive to all who wish for it.
This archive may not include everyone’s work, but it does include a lot of work from artists who are no longer here, and art that may soon be unavailable. It is organized by pairing, then by artist, then by AU.
If anyone would like access, let me know and I will find a way to get it to you. If there is something specific you are looking for, I can probably find that, too.
This archive has several thousand pieces in it, so there’s a good chance I have it.
(I have never and will never repost anything – this was just an archive for my own organization since I can’t be bothered to scroll through all of my likes.)
Here is a Google Form for everyone to fill out their info! The info will then be placed into corresponding spreadsheets. It will be organized by kind of content you create, or if you’re just one of those wonderful and important supporters!
I hope this helps! Please reblog to spread the form around so we can get as many people as possible! (I know that there are a few specific ones for writers and for artists, but I know of several people who don’t create content who want to stay in the loop!)
I would also really like a link to this archive
I was doing some daily sketches with @carrie-reylo, the prompt was “tube,” and then this happened…
I… don’t even know what to say.
Won’t somebody please think of the Thala sirens???
NEVER FORGET that Rey’s plan was to show up unannounced on the First Order’s flagship, explain to Ben that he is now her boyfriend, and convince him to run away with her. And never forget that Chewie and Artoo were totally on board with all of it.

this is the most powerful series of sentences i’ve ever seen
YEEEEEES
Also, I love the idea of Finn accidentally calling Ben “Solo,” just like his old man, and for a moment it just hitting him how much Ben actually does take after his dad.
^^ OMG I so want it too.
I want this so much 😭
