I’m sick and tired of ppl acting like rey is a delicate, confused little flower who needs rescuing, who doesn’t know her own mind. rey is a fucking badass grown woman. she used to beat bad ppl on jakku with her bare hands and a stick. she basically laughed in snoke’s face. (1/6)

she tried to shoot at ben the second she saw him in the forest, and has never been afraid of him, or any man, for that matter. she wasn’t afraid to call luke skywalker himself out on his bullshit. she’s a grown woman, and beyond that, she’s strong as all hell. (2/6)

she knew exactly what she was doing, and what she wanted when she wanted to take bens hand, and when she chose to tell him that. when she said that their bond felt like coming home, she knew what she meant. when she sat on his lap, stroked his hair and face, beamed at him, (3/6)

and KISSED HIM in a “celebration of finally having found him at last”, she knew what she was doing. she wasn’t confused or manipulated, she was doing what she wanted. and she wanted ben. that’s what “I wanted to take your hand” and the kiss, and her thinking that the bond...(4/6)

felt like coming home meant. she wanted ben. when you say shit like “she was just confused” or “she was manipulated by him” or “omg I can’t believe that she wanted to kiss her abuser!” you take away her agency and her strength. you take away her wants and desires. (5/6)

you take away who she was. and that’s not what a true stan does. (6/6)
