seeing these posts on the tl so I’ll add to them; hello, I’m kylo!
I’m a lifelong star wars fan & love every era. it’s mostly what I tweet about. however, I also enjoy marvel & dc, video games, and film in general.
I love rock (particularly nu-metal).
let’s be mutuals!
“he’s not manipulating her” he quite literally lied to her and told her that her relationships with jecki, yord, and sol are one sided. are these not the faces of people who love and value someone and what they have to say?
@atotalposer
there’s a character in the old republic thats the same species as yoda but he talks normally and I was so taken aback when he started speaking
@acrossthestrs
this has been bothering me so much lately and it’s not even just pedro, it’s so many actors popular in fandom spaces. there’s some things that people should just not be saying especially in public spaces
The shattered moon of Boreas needs help. But when Tressa and her friend disagree about the best way to save Cleo, the consequences will change lives forever 🔮
some of you guys are way too comfortable sexually harassing hayden christensen and I’m so glad more people are finally realizing it and calling it out.
she’s asked what her name is, and luke and leia appear to her and give her confirmation/permission to use the name. I’m sorry that movies don’t spell everything out for you, and you didn’t see luke filling out adoption papers for hours for you to get it and not grift off it.
Neither Luke nor Leia adopted Rey.
She literally just decided to start calling herself a Skywalker after they'd both died.
Seems basically like identity theft but go off I guess??
@heroesahead
you didn’t say anything to disprove my statement & I’m also not ‘homies’ with incels who rely on AI generated pinups because they can’t get a real woman to touch them
@nknapper
it seems like you’re forcing a narrative here that doesn’t actually exist. of course everyone is allowed to interpret art in their own way, but let’s be real; maarva found a child alone in an imperial (?) ship surrounded by dead bodies on a ravaged planet. like she said in the +
the cave mouth is vaginal & a huge phallic rock formation is framed *inside* it. this is also where Osha & Qimir have their big confrontation involving another phallic object 👀 WELCOME TO FUCK ISLAND!!!

@sw_holocron
she’s a skywalker it’s canon and it’s been years since the movie came out when will y’all crybabies let it go and focus on stuff you actually like? be better
“positive corruption arc” being a nonexistent thing aside, I don’t think turning to the dark side, becoming cold-hearted, and training under the man who kidnapped/ manipulated you & your sister and killed the people you loved is a positive thing.
The Acolyte creator Leslye Headland teases how Osha and Qimir fit into the story of Darth Plagueis and Palpatine
“With [Osha and Qimir] having gone through this positive corruption arc and coming together in a joining of forces and a romantic pairing, we always wanted to
hate to say it but we cannot fucking get a second season of the acolyte because we’ve got people who genuinely think sol is a “dishonest killer” and qimir is some honest misunderstood sad boi who just wants a wife. open the fucking schools seriously
@nknapper
show: she knew full well that he was going to be murdered by the incoming imperials. are you suggesting that the morally right thing for her to do was to turn around and leave, allow him to be killed? & there is no evidence of maarva forcing him to denounce or abandon his +
can we please just stop making everything romantic. obi-wan and padme. rey and kylo. obi-wan and anakin. ahsoka and rex. the clones? the list goes on. not only are these ships nasty for many reasons but there’s more to life & love than romance.
the galactic star cruiser failed because it cost FIVE THOUSAND dollars to stay for two nights not because it was based on the sequels I can’t believe this is a real discussion happening
no personal hate but every interview with headland leaves me so taken aback with how she responds; first the witches aren’t lesbians, then qimir isn’t manipulating osha, now sol is sexist and bad…? not to mention the racist stereotypes perpetuated in one of her interviews.
아니 진짜 제가 막 읽고 너무 안타까운 나머지 인터뷰를 매도해버린건가 마음이 약해지고 있음 그치만 솔의 죽음 장면에 관한 모든 대화가요....

culture. as seen in the show, his room had trinkets from his childhood including his spear/blowgun and she even seemed to admire them. she was forced with a choice: let an innocent child be slaughtered or give him a chance to continue his life.
people complaining about gatekeepers but let’s be real: brittany has an extensive history of just purely sexualizing people for their looks, not talent. I don’t blame other fans for not wanting her attention (& therefore her fanbase’s attention) on the band
hey that’s because they’re villains. you can use transparency to manipulate people and twist their perspectives especially if they’re in a vulnerable place. that’s the dynamic between protagonists and antagonists. villains do bad shit.
Every few years a sexy bad guy comes along and is more transparent and honest with the protagonist than any other supposed good person in her life but because he’s EVIL™ people go “noooo he’s manipulating her!!!”
celebrities are people and should be treated as people- online and offline. I’ve posted about it before but people are way too comfortable treating celebrities like objects, and normalizing it in online spaces leads to these awful instances of harassment and sexual assault.
in the past few days a few r*ylo tweets have made their rounds on star wars twitter which included
- blatant & proud racism
- shipping 14 year old padme with 25 year old obi wan
also
- shipping adam & daisy
- porn of adam and daisy
but they wonder why people don’t like them. 🤨
you’re 33 and posting on twitter that two children who are friends, anakin being a 9 year old with a silly unrequited crush, is grooming. the internet was a mistake
it’s actually hilarious how many people take this to heart without knowing that the joke is about the people who say shit like this. how dense can you be
@sw_holocron
“still thinking about this” hopefully in the correct context which was that he was manipulating her & lying to her with the hopes of gaining her trust and using her power in the first order!
“keep it civil” and the poll has a bunch of incest & grooming ships. ‘I want everyone to be included’ some people are excluded from fandom spaces for a reason.
Welcome to the
-ˏˋ ULTIMATE STAR WARS SHIP POLL ˊˎ
Vote here:
╰┈
You can vote for as many ships as you want as many times as you want. Boting is also allowed. Keep it civil and let's get ready to rumble!
he’s spoken against r*ylo in the past and the fandom ships him with his costar and threatens his wife and family but alright sure whatever helps you sleep at night
the last episode had people convinced qimir is a good guy who’s just so in love with osha and wants what’s best for her so no, I do not think that the discussions about this episode will be very nuanced or rational
call me crazy but I think publicly & gleefully engaging in content that romanticizes and glorifies abuse (sexual and otherwise), rape, violence towards women, etc. is bad no matter the medium. especially when people make it their entire fucking personalities
I’m not sure a fanon ship revolving around abuse, manipulation, and murder & a ship that got 2 seconds of screen time and then dropped entirely in the next film are good examples to use for valentine’s day. is this an april fool’s post. it has to be right
kylo spent three movies hunting rey, lying to her & manipulating her, killing & hurting the people she loved most, hurting her physically & mentally, and even forcefully invaded her mind. she hated him and begged him to leave her alone. you ship that though so where is the line?
my take on the recent discourse and the current state of star wars twitter. I wanted to talk about headland, shipping, and the most recent interview with leslye (as well as keep it all in a single tweet so… screenshots it is). thanks guys!
tw : mention of sexual assault
the fact that kylo/ben did not love her in a romantic sense aside; you literally posted a picture of her sharing the most heartwarming & emotional hug with her newfound family. at the end of episode IX, she’s happy. rey is happy it’s all over and she’s found her new belonging.
r*ylos constantly proving to be both racist and delusional is wild. calling finn by his stormtrooper designation, referring to kylo as rey’s soulmate… if you’re gonna be so problematic and media illiterate keep it to yourself I’m begging y’all
Sure, SW the family drama in space was gonna be all about FN-2187 at the end, not about Rey and her soulmate in the Force, the grandson of Anakin Skywalker, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. It would have made total sense for the story told over 40+ years. 👍🏽
the dichotomy is cool but let’s be real: qimir kidnapped osha and knows fully well that he has her where he wants her. she can’t go anywhere until the tide goes out. him giving her the ‘choice’ is an illusion. he’s pretending to give her freedom & pretending to be vulnerable
Loving the dichotomy of these two teachers; Qimir gives Osha the freedom to make her own choice, meanwhile Sol literally ties Mae to a bed 😭
#TheAcolyte
@Lady_Kryze
she does not have the means, she can’t go until the tide goes out. just because she’s an adult doesn’t mean she can’t be manipulated. also, “the jedi came to seduce her” what?
this might be a hot take but viewing the dynamic between kylo & rey through the canon lens and not the romantic lens makes their connection even more meaningful in my opinion
I think I’d be less bothered by osha & qimir (both in general and on the tl) if a certain group of shippers weren’t immediately jumping on it to be like ‘yesssss another ship we can use to glorify SA and abuse’
I’m so over the constant sequels discourse. nobody cares if you don’t like the sequels. you like the prequels better? great. you like the originals better? great. enjoy what you enjoy and quit trying to suck the love & fun out of everything over some harmless movies.
okay, that’s enough hater tweets for a bit 🤙 I just get so irritated and wound up when I see this kind of shit being normalized. why are we romanticizing grooming & pedophilia? why are grown ass adults fantasizing about kids in sexual relationships?
@VISI0NE
@backinpoland
I don’t support the joke in the slightest, I do want to make a point though that noah actively spreading false zionist propaganda & just blatantly labeling all palestinians as bigoted terrorists is hugely different than a short snl sketch that is almost a decade old at this point
actually insane how many musk & rowling bootlickers are in this person’s replies… they are a doctor. they studied this for years in school and have a doctorate. they are quite literally the expert here and your blind hatred keeps you from accepting science & facts. just crazy!
bigots have never had a place in star wars. since day 1 the series has been about fighting oppression and embracing individuality. this isn’t some new thing disney is forcing into it. queer people & people of color have always existed. insert graph about left handedness here.
it’s always been an issue but has quickly grown and it’s gotten to the point where people are now comfortable touching hayden inappropriately and asking for him to touch them inappropriately.
I think it’s funny how that pr*shipper is using anidala as some sort of “gotcha” against people having an issue with the shipping of a 14 year old girl and an adult man. most anidala shippers actually understand the dynamic between anakin & padme and that it’s NOT a perfect +
the show made the worst people- bigots- angry, and it made some of the best fans angry as well with the awful narrative 180 it took into booktok fanfiction. I’m glad there are people who enjoyed it but honestly…
you don’t like headland because she joked about robots being gay. I don’t like headland because of her horrific interviews in which she completely mischaracterized my favorite character, gushed about abusive relationships, and deemed sol a sexist villain. we are not the same.
wow this got more attention than expected! to the people saying ‘but sol manipulated her too’ you’re right and it was wrong, but think about it; sol keeping things from her was to protect her, especially as a child. qimir twists truths for his own personal gain.
“still thinking about this” hopefully in the correct context which was that he was manipulating her & lying to her with the hopes of gaining her trust and using her power in the first order!
