I totes just clicked on that to see wicked_jester's banner. Very pretty :D

[wicked-jester.livejournal.com]

Everyone loves Hux. :D

I like pony_express's banner too... the silhouette of the Finalizer crawling across the screen with Jakku in the background never stops being epic.

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't even see that! Stopped right at yours! LOL

[wicked-jester.livejournal.com]

Haha! For once I'm not hogging the Star Wars tag/banners. ;P

Oh since you say you like it when I go full geek, I thought I'd let you know I just did it to poor cassiopaya over here (http://reylos.livejournal.com/9238.html). I'm just glad it fit into one comment...

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Yes! The geek is with you! Thanks for sharing your comment :) I saw the post but stopped reading when I got to "Bloodline," not really because of spoilers (no idea when or if I'll read it) but cuz I figured this one's over my head.

And once again you make an excellent case for Reylo, LOL

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

I have the movie now!! I am very excited! Write more TFA so I can drool over the pouty cross eye-candy - I mean make you more banners!

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

The shape matches Ren's lightsabre too, and that adds to the epicness!

I like your banner too, but that's mostly because it's got Hux on it! :P But as you say everyone loves Hux!

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Way to be democratic, Lumy ;-)

Thanks!

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

Hah! DD, you are really falling for Hux! :P Bless.
He is damn cute though!

Congrats to everyone who won banners.
And thank you very much DD for mine! It is perfect! :D <3

(Oh, I've not saved mine yet, because I'm not on my own computer/laptop so bare with me.)

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Yes, you may be right, and it's all your and wicked jester's fault. But, it's not hard, as he's snotty and vaguely evil ;-)

I'm glad you like your banner :-) Please, write more TFA, I have the movie now!

No worries. These are from my dropbox, and not likely to go anywhere anytime soon. (knock wood)

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

:D Hehehe!! Of course it's not that hard to get hooked on Hux!
(Ohh, that was a little lame. . .)

:D I love it! Thank you.
Well, we'll see where the muse takes us. I do like writing TFA, and have some Kylux plans, but whether muse plays ball or not is a different story.

Well, I saved it now so I should be alright! (:

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

Forgot to say enjoy the film. I'm sure you will! xD And I'm sure you'll let me know what you think! :D

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

LOL, I haven't had the patience to sit through it. I just skip around screen capping madly :-)

But, I saw it three times in the theater... Hated the first time. (But I went in already bitter towards JJ.) Then read all the necessary backstory, and enjoyed it a lot more the next times. Now, I love the characters...and that's all that matters :-)

[pony-express.livejournal.com]

That's like me with the MCU. I've got most of the DVDs but just not the patience to sit there watching intently. I'm too busy for that! :P
Capping wildly through sounds like a great way to spend time though! :D

I saw it twice in cinemas. I loved it instantly. Because I was sucked in by the ginger space Nazi!
Are the backstories good? I keep meaning to check them out.

Yes, the characters MAKE the story, and if you love the characters you can forgive the rest. . . :P

[katleept.livejournal.com]

Oh, I SO LOVE my award!!! Thank you so very much!!

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Glad you like!

There was a massive amount of pics, it was hard to choose from. Salem is soo cute :-)

And again, this fic was so thoughtful and creative. I loved it.

[wicked-jester.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is one of my favorite shots of Hux! The line he’s giving there is very applicable to the fic as well (“Careful Ren, that your personal interests do not interfere with orders from Leader Snoke”). Kylo isn't exactly on Snoke's good side at the moment!

Once again the text/design is lovely and perfectly complements the colors of the background image. I love it, thank you so much! :)

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely compliment. I do try... do ;-)

I'm very glad you like the Hux shot. I have more where that came from, woo hoo! I have to confess, I haven't even watched the movie. Just skipped to all the parts I wanted to cap, lol. But I like your insight into Kylo. Did you do a review of the movie?

[wicked-jester.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, I haven't written any reviews. I participate on a Reylo forum (http://reylo.skyforum.net/) where much of the discussion is centered on Kylo. It's very active and the archives are a veritable gold mine of information. There is a lot of in-depth analysis of the character, members often bringing aspects such as psychology, literature, and mythology into it. I was pretty much instantly a fan of Kylo when I first watched TFA in December, but the online conversations have helped me gain a lot more understanding of what makes the character tick. Feel free to check us out if you'd like. :)

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the invite! I've been stalking you and joining a few of your places :-)

I love reading what other people think about characters, and their analysis. But adding psych and myth in is always a bonus!

[wicked-jester.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!

Haha, I'm flattered to hear that I'm by any means stalk-worthy around these parts. :) I see that you've joined my community - that page is my baby! I think I update there more often these days than I do my own personal journal, lol. Glad to have you as a member!

Oh, I find hearing other people's perspectives and seeing what they bring to the table very interesting. I have trouble imagining what hasn't been covered at this point!
