Ok I love all the Kylo Ren jokes (human trashbag, complete monster, Emo Teen) but like
According to the novel Ben was ten years old when he left home to train with Luke, and fifteen when he destroyed Luke’s Jedi temple
So that means Snoke tempting him to the Dark Side would have involved a lot less offering untold cosmic power; and a lot more child-grooming, and subsequently absconding with a preteen boy
Idk about you but that skeeves me out
Oh noooooo
for bonus:
He had trouble believing what he was hearing. “So Snoke was watching our son.”
“Always,” she told him. “From the shadows, in the beginning, even before I realized what was happening, he was manipulating everything, pulling our son toward the dark side.”
We don’t know the details for sure, but if the movies go with this, Snoke was definitely grooming Ben from … infancy, pretty much.
There’s also that scene where Snoke tells Ben that he’s trained other people, but nobody like Ben because he’s special. D: D: D:
On a completely serious note, it actually 100% explains the tantrums. When you’re groomed from a really young age (and are hurt at a young age), your maturity in dealing with stressors can be developmentally delayed, and your ability to deal (in general) becomes extremely… fragile. You don’t develop proper coping mechanisms at a critical stage in your development, and even if you’re removed from the stressor your inability cope with them can affect you all throughout your adulthood. A lot of people lash out in anger, because lashing out in anger is what children do. They never really developed past that (mentally), which is kind of why Kylo/Ben acts like he’s 16 when he’s closer to 30. Honestly its pretty tragic.
I’ve pointed this out too and this is why his back story that we know of is so disturbing to me. Especially when you take into account that Kylo seems very telepathically Force sensitive and Leia took precautions to keep him away from Snoke, which means about the only way he really could have influenced him that much was he was LITERALLY rattling around inside his head. You get the impression Kylo had next to no peace and even though the people he loved were telling him one thing, he also couldn’t get away from what was going on in his head. It’s no wonder he keeps saying he’s torn apart and shows a lot of conflict. It wasn’t a case like Anakin where Palpatine used his own flaws on him to pretty much manipulate a headstrong young man. Snoke’s influence was much more aggressive and much younger on Ben.
Aaaah!!! I always pictured them as being solid in color?! This one is so pretty !
I’ve assumed every time I see this on my dash that this is a sick and dying individual, and that the mottled skin is a symptom. Who’s good with megacephalopods?
Cephalopods all have color-changing skin, so they’re pretty much never a solid color for very long :) This squid does have stripes along its arms, but it looks to me like a lot of the “mottle” is scraped-off skin. I agree with @speciesofleastconcern that it seems sick. Deep-sea animals aren’t really built to survive at the surface, and this one was really sluggish and looks to be injured. Why it swam up instead of down, I don’t know. I wouldn’t have gotten in the water with it, though–six foot long Humboldt squid have been known to drown divers, and this one was twice that size!
