JUST HEAR ME OUT OKAY
yes, poe and rey will spark a relationship in episode IX
but here is how it ultimately relates and motivates reylo:
poe is a lovable dude but he is not meant for rey. he will fall for rey (i mean seriously. the look of awe on his face when she lifted those rocks was more than just holy fuck she is a jedi and when he meets her for the first time, the look on his face exposes his immediate desire.) and i think rey will gain admiration for him in return, but nothing, not even close, to the burning all consuming love she has for ben solo
this little fling thing she will create with poe will piss ben off to no end. they are still connected, regardless of what snoke did or claimed to do, and im betting his reaction to her being with poe might be (will be) grounds for war. we already saw how pissed ben got when finn got his back sliced in the forrest for showing just friendly affection towards rey, let alone romantic
this thing with poe will show rey what she wants. yes, poe is a great guy, but he isn’t what she needs. he doesn’t challenge her. he doesn’t have the connection with her that she has with ben solo. he is just not enough.
this thing with poe, it will show kylo that he doesn’t just want rey, but that he needs her. he needs her more than he needs his power. he needs her more than he needs his dark desires. he needs her more than anything, and i’ll bet my foot he’ll do anything to get her.
rey and ben have history. they have a fucking bond. poe won’t shake that but he will be the spark that will light the fire that will bring ben and Rey together, for good this time.
disney is not dumb. they know that a love triangle sells and that people will eat that shit right up.
rough draft first thoughts after seeing the last jedi
Tbh my next idea for a fanfic
please send it my way id love to read
I don’t want this. There isn’t enough time to deal with this shit. For a fanfic, it’s GREAT, if you like that kind of thing, there’s so much more freedom to develop it and conclude it properly, because fanfiction has no limit. It can be as long as you want. But for the love of God, JJ, spare me the unnecessary ‘love triangle’ with a character she has no development with. We only have 1 movie left. It’s not enough to cram that crap in there with everything else that needs to get resolved. We don’t have time. A look shared at the very end of the film, doesn’t prove much. I mean look at how Finn and Rey looked at each other when they introduced themselves properly. The lovely closeups and the smiles. They were like bashful teenagers. And look where the story went… Looking at her in amazement while she lifted the rocks? So was everyone else.
tacking onto this: this is going to show up in the damerey tag. at least misspell it, dude. don’t be like that. respect other shippers, my dude. be decent. do better.
addendum: don’t tear other characters down to boost your ship. tlj already took a collective shit on finn, poe, AND rose. do better, guys. down with love triangles.
