emperorren:jackpotgirl:pixelrey:Kylo looking at Rey (The Force Awakens vs. The Last Jedi)requested by anonI never noticed until now how she looks at him in the first gif..there is no antagonism there in that moment. Just a gorgeous blend of “What the fuck?” and “Look at that, I did this!” and “Am I gonna be okay?” and this kind of…look that’s asking for reassurance? And in a second they’re gonna be duelling and they both know that - but in this moment, it’s just her reaching out to the only person who can possibly understand what is happening to her, asking for a sign that it’s going to be okay and he gives that to her in that endless pause and reverence that his reaction is. They’re connecting. Right there.And that’s fucking beautiful.#it is SO IMPORTANT that he was always the only one to witness her moments of awakening in the force#this vast unfathomable power she can barely even put a name to let alone describe to anyone#and he’s right there witnessing it and quite literally shook by it#and when it happens (both times!) in tfa there’s this mOMENT where they stop being adversaries#IT LITERALLY SAYS THAT IN THE SCRIPT for the interrogation scene but it happens right here too#this connection this thing they recognize in each other this thing no one else can understand#that vulnerability they both betray to each other for a moment#and the scene in tlj…i can only guess that it’s an echo of that except it’s for more than a heartbeat it STAYS#I JUST#AT THEIR HEARTS THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE ADVERSARIES CATCH ME CRYING ABOUT IT 24/7/365 (@greyjedireylo) -- source link
