Yes, I’m aware that this is the author who holds a controversial opinion about Kylo Ren’s redemption arc. ANYWAY let’s separate the art from the artist because this book definitely has strong REYLO VIBES.
A girl of mysterious descent awakening to her strange powers and a beautiful but incredibly destructive god complete with a redemption arc must work together to gain their freedom and become their true selves. I mean….

RUSALKA – MERMAID (Russia 1997)

Reylo recommendation by @ewa-jednak-chce-spac. Thank you very much for introducing me to this gem.

The art style of this short film is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in animation. It’s like a moving painting.

Star Wars: Rey x Kylo Ren (Reylo) / No. 1 (post-TLJ), a playlist by ewaglad on Spotify

ewa-jednak-chce-spac:

My first post-TLJ Reylo playlist on Spotify 🙂 Here’s with explanations, available on AO3 as well https://archiveofourown.org/works/13441194

1. Black Sabbath – Paranoid

Before fight with Luke, Kylo thinks about that how desparately he was looking for someone, who would help him in overcoming his current mental state, but even Rey couldn’t help him.

2. Blondie – The Tide Is High

Rey’s thoughts before sending herself to Kylo~ Besides, the official vid to this song features another Vader-wannabe as the vocalist’s possible lover 😉

3. Céline Dion – I’m Alive

Rey is uplifted during the hand scene – or when she mails herself to Kylo and imagines their possible future together.

4. Black Sabbath – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Kylo tries to convince Rey that both sides of the galactic conflict will abuse her, and he gives his own life as a warning.

5. Dionne Warwick – Heartbreaker

Rey’s thoughts after Kylo’s offer to rule the Galaxy with him.

6. Céline Dion – Everybody’s Talkin’ My Baby Down

Rey ignoring Luke and Snoke’s words and wanting to be with Kylo anyway.

7. Flume – Holdin On

Kylo’s enchantment with Rey in general.

8. Ida Corr – Let Me Think About It

9. Céline Dion – That’s the Way It Is

Rey’s attitude towards Kylo after getting to know, what exactly happened between him and Luke.

10. J2 – Umbrella

Umbrella fits Reylo very much, no matter if it’s supposed to suit Rey’s, Kylo’s or their shared POV. Therefore I put three versions of this song here: one with the female vocals (this one), the original with mixed vocals, and a version with male vocals.

11. Lady Pank – Latać może każdy (it’s impossible to listen to it on Spotify, so here’s a YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWeiRUFH8AA )

English translation (from http://www.tekstowo.pl/piosenka,lady_pank,latac_kazdy_moze.html , with some improvements by me):

Close your eyes –
there’s no need to look down.
Soon you’ll feel the warm wind in your hair.
A golden butterfly
is flying close to us.
Soon it’ll give you a sign to be ready
for that moment,
when the rainbow will take us all the way to the sky.
All these issues go further away – and look,
you can see them now small as the grains of sand.

For that moment,
when the rainbow will take us all the way to the sky.
Everyone can fly,
if they truly believe in it
Everyone has
the time for their own grand flight.

Close your eyes –
there’s no need to look down.
Soon you’ll feel the warm wind in your hair.

It’s that moment,
when the rainbow takes us all the way to the sky.
Everyone can fly…

12. MishCatt – Another Dimension

Rey persuading Kylo to choose the Light Side.

13. Nazareth – Love Hurts

Completely heartbroken Kylo after Rey rejected his offer of becoming his empress.

14. P!nk – Heartbreaker

Rey being worried that Kylo is actually not a good person and that he may break her heart.

15. Peabo Bryson – If Ever You’re In My Arms Again

Kylo realizing at the end of TLJ that he wasted his chance for being with Rey (but he still hopes that he’ll get another chance).

16. Rihanna – Umbrella

The original version of Umbrella, with both female and male vocals, including Jay-Z’s verses, which ae usually left from the covers.

17. Saga – On the Loose

Kylo persuading Rey to join him and leave everything behind them.

18. The Kelly Family – First Time

Rey uplifted during the hand scene.

19. The Paragons – The Tide Is High

Kylo’s attitude towards Rey in general.

20. Vanilla Sky – Umbrella

“Umbrella” with only male vocals.

@ewa-jednak-chce-spac graciously sent me a preview of this list. It sent me down a Blondie hole. So proceed with caution.😉

Very diverse list of cool music!

UNDERTALE (2016 / game) – SPOILER WARNING!!!

Reylo vibe recommendation by @ewa-jednak-chce-spac who loves the concept of showing compassion towards the monsters in this game.
Here is her description: “In this game you’re playing a human, who enters the Underground, inhabited by the monsters sealed there by humans. The game itself strongly favors offering compassion to your opponents instead of killing them off. Don’t be discouraged by the vintage graphics – Undertale is one of these video games, which may be treated as art, not only entertainment".

k10c2:

I just wanted to recommend this series. 😀 I was hesitant at first…(I know it isn’t exactly similar to Star Wars, but I noticed someone recommended Scarlet Heart Ryeo.~ sooo) If you get the chance check it out. 🙂

War has its cost, and the Servants of the Bright Heart and the Servants of the Dark Heart have been locked in a struggle that has defined life—and death—for millennia. But the end is coming, and only the Lady who has served the Bright Heart for the whole of her immortal life has seen it, in a vision that spans time and demands the highest of prices.

Thanks @k10c2 for the recommendation!

CHALICE by Robin McKinley

As the newly appointed Chalice, Mirasol is the most important member of the Master’s Circle. It is her duty to bind the Circle, the land and its people together with their new Master. But the new Master of Willowlands is a Priest of Fire, only drawn back into the human world by the sudden death of his brother. No one knows if it is even possible for him to live amongst his people. Mirasol wants the Master to have his chance, but her only training is as a beekeeper. How can she help settle their demesne during these troubled times and bind it to a Priest of Fire, the touch of whose hand can burn human flesh to the bone?

A captivating tale that reveals the healing power of duty and honour, love and honey.

Check out this book on Goodreads: Chalice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2828595-chalice

I guess this is one of Robin McKinley’s lesser known books. A dreamlike story that features a romance between a young woman who’s really good with bees and a man who’s not quite human anymore.

Literary References in Reylo: Jane Eyre

starwarsconnection:

Today’s discussion is about classic British literature references found in the Rey and Kylo Ren dynamic in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. 

This episode centers on analysis of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.

In our Jane Eyre and Reylo analysis we discuss:

  • Similarities between Jane Eyre and Rey, including their lonely, deprived upbringing and first friendships that become as family.

  • Jane and Rey’s longing for a profoundly spiritual and passionate connection. 
  • The remarkable bond that allowed Jane to hear Rochester’s voice from miles away after they had separated, and that connects Rey and Kylo Ren across the stars. 😉
  • Jane’s kinship and superficial contentment among the Rivers, which she eventually understands will never fulfill her on the level of her passionate bond with Rochester. We argue that in the same way, Rey will never find true fulfillment among The Resistance and her connections there, and will eventually seek out Ben as Jane sought Rochester – and it will be romantic AF.
  • We look at Kylo Ren as a Byronic hero, and discuss character similarities between him and Edward Rochester. 
  • We find parallels in the Jane/Rochester romance and the story of Rey and Kylo so far.
  • Lastly, a quick pit-stop by the horrendous possibilities offered by Ben Solo’s potential “atonement”. Some haters who be hatin’ would like to see him bald and disfigured, whereas others make a case for his eventual death or loss of Force abilities as penance for his sins. We conclude that maiming, Force castration and death are not necessary for Ben Solo to have a meaningful and complete redemption arc. 

In our discussion of Reylo and North and South we overview the fiery Margaret Hale/John Thornton romance, including their enemies-to-lovers dynamic

  • His failed first proposal and their painful separation
  • Their journey towards each other and eventual reconciliation  – and how it all relates to the story of Rey and Kylo Ren.

Stay tuned for part 2 of our discussion, which centers on Pride and Prejudice and other literary works.

Today’s episode features awesome analysis by new Star Wars Connection member Chandra. 

We apologize for some trouble with parts of our audio – we are improving our sound for the next part of our discussion, which is coming soon to a galaxy near you. ^^
