TL; DR: in which I drink too much wine and try to comprehend why Star Wars is my life now.
The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens. – Carl Jung
I wasn’t really expecting to have a visceral or emotional attachment to The Force Awakens.
I had hope, which is what all fans have even when they’ve over-familiarized themselves with the basic plot beats beforehand (major character deaths included). I’m an unrepentant spoiler-philiac. I knew what I was going to see. But I don’t think I could have ever anticipated what I saw, a fact which I have taken a month and half to process and the reason I am rambling on it now.
Classic reylo meta paralleling the protagonists of The Force Awakens to characters from the Hades and Persephone myth (and not always in the way you think).
Pioneer work done in the early days of the reylo fandom and still as relevant as back then.
