Asking the real questions, now, eh? To Ben or not to Ben… 
Practically everyone in the movies calls him Ben now, so it’s whatever at this point. 

Now let’s see how unpopular I can be. 

Why I like them: Where do I start? He’s Han and Leia’s son. He’s super OP. He’s pissed off at the world. He cries a lot. He’s lonely. He’s been targeted by a space demon since before he was born and it fucking shows. His conflict is that he feels pulled towards being a good person! Like… what kind of fucking villain…???!!!!
He’s extreme. He’s brutal. He’s a murderer. He’s blunt and honest (he very rarely lies). He’s conflicted and tortured by his own mind. His past is full of crap from near death at a young age, to public humiliation via finding out Vader was his granddad, to betrayal. He should be a perfect villain. 
BUT he’s lost. He’s throwing things at the wall and what sticks is what he goes with. He shows capacity for mercy and compassion in the first scene he’s in by doing nothing about Finn’s refusal to follow orders. He has the potential for light and dark. He *can* be softer, more patient, more understanding. He can be better than he initially appears. He’s layered and fascinating and he just kills. 
Why I don’t: He makes awful choices. I mean, I get why he does. He’s fucked up in a ton of different ways so poor decision making is kind of a given but dammit do I suffer when he does dumb stuff. 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): The hut scene in TLJ. I just love it because he only says one line “you’re not alone” and the rest of it is in his face. He looks so genuine and unsure, even to the point that his hand is shaking. You can feel the relief and the calm in that scene. And the of course the wide-eyed shock when Luke busts in. It’s a really good scene and I love that it allows him to just be compassionate. 
Favorite season/movie: The Last Jedi 
Favorite line: “I’m being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain.” from TFA because again, I believe this is genuine and it hurt to watch and I hate it but I think it sums up his motivations and desires really well. 
Favorite outfit: That dark flowy cape, cowl, tunic, thing he had going on in TFA.  
OTP: Reylo
Brotp: Ben and Finn. I think they could be good friends eventually and I want to see it so bad. 
Head Canon: I think he has dreams and visions, too. I think the reason he was instantly like “What girl!” in TFA is because he’d been seeing her in his dreams and meditations for a long time and he *needed* to know who the hell she was. (It would also explain the whole “the girl I’ve heard so much about” even though… there’s like zero reason to hear anything more than “some random girl was seen with that droid we want” and why he was so fixated on finding her.) Why is also the obvious question. My headcanon is that they’re cosmically tied and have been for a lot longer than their first meeting. 
Unpopular opinion: He’s not the villain. There, I said it!
He’s not the villain of the ST! Not really. He’s an anti-hero and his character arc is a redemption arc. IF he was meant to be the Big Bad he wouldn’t’ve ended his Then Let Me Be Evil moment alone, on his knees, cradling his father’s dice (symbolically representing his childhood). Emperor or no, if I am supposed to believe he’s a remorseless monster who’s finally come into his own as The Villain, he should be standing up shrouded in darkness or looking forward to evil, not with his head bowed, bathed in light. 
Also, this is Star Wars. Vader got redeemed. There’s nothing you can say to me that will make me believe he’s going to die bad. 
A wish: I want him to get his shit together. Just please, get your shit together, Ben. Leave the evil organization and be the person you’re being called to be. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: He just fuckin’ dies a villain, I guess. And everyone is happy about it. (Fuck that with a cactus.) 
5 words to best describe them: angry, lost, conflicted, powerful, broken
My nickname for them: I called him Renjamin the other day and my brother lost it so that’s what I’ve been calling him for a while now lol. 

Thanks! 

Character thingys!
