I’m not sure if anyone else is with me on this, but I’m gonna come out and say that I hope people will join me with being decent non-assholes after TLJ is released.

I was in the TVD fandom for a few years before the creators decided to ruin my favorite character with that ridiculous spinoff and bad actors. I was so angry and so upset that my blog turned into an anti blog raging about the spin-off 90% of the time.

I realized after a while that it just made me so tired. Even when, in the end, the ship I supported got what they wanted, I couldn’t be happy about it. I was too bitter. So now, seeing the anti-reylo hate on Tumblr, it makes me feel kind of… well, bad for them. I’m not saying Reylo is definitely going to happen, and that I pity them. I think there’s still a fair chance it might not happen. But I feel bad for the antis that they are so invested in hating something instead of enjoying the good things. I love Reylo, but I haven’t let that mar my enthusiasm for Finn, Poe, FinnRose, Stormpilot, Luke and Leia’s reunion, etc.

I think this is fairly common amongst the Reylo community, too. I have personally never seen FinnRey-bashing posts from the blogs I follow, which is awesome. Any that did that would be swiftly unfollowed, because I am not here for that fandom fuckery.

What I’m trying to get at with this is: let’s not be assholes. If Reylo happens, let’s be gracious. Let’s be supportive of other people who are disappointed, because they care just as much about the movies as we do. Let’s not rub it in to the antis, even the ones who sought us out or bullied us.

And if Reylo doesn’t happen, let’s do the same. Let’s be supportive of the people who are happy about it. Some people are going to be smug, some people are going to want to rub it in, no matter who “wins”. And by lowering ourselves to that level, we all lose.

So, no matter what happens–I love this ship, I love this fandom, I love these movies. I will not let negativity rule me, and I will not be a smug asshole to antis if the things they want (like ReySky or ReySolo) are debunked in TLJ. I know we’re all better than that.
