Why We Ship Characters - From X-Files to Reylo

The history of "shipping," the act of rooting for a romantic relationship between two fictional characters, has been around for ages, yet the phenomenon got its name from The X-Files. Fans of the science-fiction series who pined for Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) didn't always see their relationship

Yo fuck them for running with Reylo.

Are you saying you DIDN'T have a teenage phase you pined for a whiny fascist with an awful temper obsessed with being like his grandpa?

those tantrums were a turn off and it triggered me.

the way he talked to rey during this force mind scenes reminded me of the way my abusive ex used to talk to me

it was gross and i don't understand why people have this fascination with abusive and toxic relationships.

I'm sorry bb. I fully agree, that ship in its canon is abusive bullshit and fuck the writers/Rian for making them a sort of end game (and paying a potential healthy relationship with Finn dust)

Seriously, I don't see the appeal of lusting after a manbaby, idc how deep his voice is

I think that Daisy and Adam have great chemistry, so I like fanfic where they retcon the shit out of everything, and Kylo remains Ben and is never a murdering bastard, etc. (Or everyone goes back in time and undoes everything, like those X-Men sequels.)
