kylo ren is the prime example of white male villains whose awful actions are excused by white fangirls in order to faun over him because he’s “tragic” and “tortured”, instead of focusing on the black character (finn) who is actually tragic and tortured, and instead of becoming a monster, went against everything that he ws programmed to be and became a good guy
he’s also the prime example of an abusive white man who the fans would rather ship with the white female lead instead of a variety of other, less abusive potential partners, but are not accepted as valid options by them because they’re not white men
One of my favorite things about the release of The Force Awakens has been the surge of lgbtqia+ headcanons about the new characters as well as characters I have loved for years. And for me, ace headcanons are especially important, and so as such, I am here to talk about my ace space babes!!!
In this lovely new surge of Star Wars, I’ve gained a newfound love for Luke Skywalker, who wow oh wow I empathize with so much and rewatching he is so aro ace oh my god, AND I have a new excuse to talk about how much I love Obi-Wan Kenobi, who for a while has been my go-to biromantic ace fave. <333 And then seeing Rey on screen, I couldn’t help but think, oh my god my aro ace childwho adores her newfound friends with all her heart, as if I needed more reasons to love her.
I have A Lot of feelings about these headcanons… But this post will get too long if I go on about them. 🙂 These pics aren’t super big or super HQ, they are just designed to be avatars, but if anyone wants other sizes, let me know! Feel free to like or reblog if you use them, or hey, shoot me a message! I love these headcanons and these characters so much and would love to her your thoughts on them ❤
