Reylo discussion
Hey lovely folks! This is a genuine "asking for a friend" research question. Said friend posted about this tweet. Our responses were both "damn, good for them" but also neither of us understand the appeal of Reylo. Obviously there is and people are into it, and absolutely no judgment or squee-harshing at all—this is absolute curiosity.
I'm not in SW fandom at all, though I've seen most of the movies, and am only aware that there is some fandom drama around the issue. So if you ship it or a ship with similar dynamics and feel comfortable talking about it—what's the appeal? What about it does it for you?

I am NOT a fan of mundane AUs, which is what these were. I've read The Love Hypothesis, which is a fun contemporary romance novel with a trope I enjoy (fake dating). What it completely erases is that Kylo Ren has done truly terrible things; I do like Reylo fic if they deal with that.
In the romance novel he's just an exacting scientist. Also holy shit they didn't file the serial numbers off of the MMC. Not only is it clearly Adam Driver from the descriptions, there's an eight-pack joke and the character's name is Adam.
