This was supposed to be part of a larger piece, but it wasn’t working, so I’ll post it as it is for now. 

#ngl one of my favourite aspects of rey is how angry she gets#like yes she’s sweet and putting on a scavenged pilot’s helmet while she’s eating ‘just ‘cause’#but the next moment she’s yelling at the too of her lungs tearing teedo a new one#and yes she’s kind in not selling bb8 for a tempting fortune but 5 mins later she’s literally biting a guy mid-fight#shes a fucking BRAWLER and its not loose happy brawling – she’s got RAGE#and once she gets hold of a lightsaber its not graceful and defensive fighting – she’s yelling berserker battle cries#and advancing on retreating opponents with a murderface for the ages#i just love love love that about her#i’m wary of any breakdown of hero/villain in these films where the good guys are painted as super chill super fluffy 100% sunshine#it’s a nice image and all but for me its like how i like luke:#yes he’s an actual ray of idealistic sunshine – but he also hisses ‘youll find im full of surprises’ and frequently chooses the Dumb Thing#based on his feelings right at that moment#rey has that absolute commitment to act based on her feelings also#sometimes those feelings are hope and faith #sometimes they’re murder
