Summary: Ben is in love with Rey, so when she asks him to help her lose her virginity, he’s all in. The problem is that she wants it to be casual. Ben’s POV of That Trinket of Mine.

Fellow ao3 authors, what's the deal? Are we just turning off guest comments entirely now? Because I got 5 guest comments on my last update, and I literally can't tell the difference between the real and the scammers anymore

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.

Yes, THAT Pope.
The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

I'm so fucking tired of generative ai bullshit. Already, you can't trust that anything you see was made by humans. And now they want us to make our own content w/o doing any of the creative work? Not to mention, the environmental impact. God I'm tired...

Here’s a little bit of goodness to get you through the chaos of real life. For context, see Ch. 6 of That Trinket of Mine 😉 archiveofourown.org/works/639463... #reylosss
He kisses her, and it's not a bit gentle. It's gratitude and pride and happiness and excitement. It's love. Always love. "Thank you," he whispers against her lips. Her smile is still shy, but it's sweet, too. "Pretty sure I'm supposed to say that." "I've been wanting to do that for a while now. You've done it so many times to me; I wanted to tip the scales."

sometimes I just think about ben solo’s smile and how rey ran her thumb along it so tenderly because it was her first time seeing it and I just cry about it a little*
*a lot

At around minute 20, to the Reylos:

"I'm gonna tell you, now is the time to care. They will notice. You need to be loud. You need to bring back your Reylo flag. And I know it's scary... nobody wants to be disappointed again...but I'm gonna tell you: WE KNOW HE'S ALIVE" 🥲

I shared this snippet ages ago, and we are FINALLY about to get to this chapter in Song & Silence! (New chapter posted yesterday icymi…)

Anyway, yes your honor 🫡 there is cheese

"Rey," he says, his jaw clenching. What can / do? he tries to communicate silently. Tell me what to do. She must be able to read it on his face because she answers his tacit question. "Will you- will you just hold me?" "Yeah." For a thousand years, if you want me to. "Yeah, of course."

Yesss add to the discourse about ben solo and whether or not he should return, add to it, ADD TO IT. You're only fueling the fires! If we talk about it loud enough, maybe they'll listen and bob iger will change his mind!!! *cackles maniacally*
