Why is that odd? The movies ended terribly (especially for the characters and pairing) with no rewatch appeal.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I rewatch them and enjoy it

A lot of people put a lot of hard work into that trainwreck, so I’m glad someone enjoys it.

Spoiler alert - ROSW

It might actually have something to do with the fact that Rey and Ben were revealed to be related. Although this wouldn't stop a lot of people.

When did that happen?

Re: Spoiler alert - ROSW

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
But they’re not.

The Reylo stats are because a metric fuckton of Star Wars canon has come out in the years since the last movie was released on home media.

Reylo has been such a juggernaut, I expected the ship to stay in the top 100 for longer, even if it was at the bottom.

Lol no they're not.

What? Are you posting from a mirror universe?

Re: Spoiler alert - ROSW

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
pfft. like that's ever stopped shippers before.

Lol this comment is so funny. I think I might know where you got this misunderstanding, though -- there is a reference in TROS (that's the acronym typically used for The Rise of Skywalker, by the way, not ROSW) to Rey and Ben's grandfathers that made it sound to me on the first watch that someone was revealing that Rey and Ben shared a grandfather. But they don't. Rey's grandfather is Palpatine, and both her parents are unrelated to Kylo Ren's family/the Skywalkers. Ben's grandfather is Anakin/Darth Vader. They share that they have a grandparent who is from the dark side, but they don't share a grandparent.

Although now that she’s an honorary Skywalker, they’re either adopted cousins or married to each other on the astral plane. Or both, I doubt there’s any laws against that sort of thing in the Outer Rim.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think probably the two big explanations are, one, it's a movie series that's over now. Movie series often have short shelf lives in fandom.

Two, a bunch of popular Reylo writers moved into publishing origfic. So if you're looking for fic that scratches that issue, there is now a ton of published books that do that.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Not really that surprising when you think about how big the HP fandom is and how long its been big for (definitely older than the existence of Reylo - although now I'm curious to go check what is the oldest Dramione fic on Ao3 is).

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
lol the first one that came up is the 10th November 2001 and its a songfic The Right Kind of Wrong.

But if wikipedia is right about it opening beta 'on 14 November 2009', then it could technically be a fic called 'No Idea' posted on the 17th November.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
The Rise of Skywalker killed a lot of interest people had in fic around the sequels characters and pairings. People clung on for a while, but it died.

To be fair, most fandoms see a dip in popularity after the media itself finishes.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I assume that it's because a lot of the writers are filing off the serial numbers and putting their stories on actual physical bookshelves now (except Cait Corran, now).

As for why anyone would go back to dramione now, I do NOT know. I can't fathom going back to my HP ships, any warm fuzzy memories have been so thoroughly killed off by now.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
so melodramatic lmao

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
You are a Very Good Person.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not surprising it shrunk so quickly; movie fandoms rarely last long.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-21 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Sequel Trilogy has no fandom inertia CONFIRMED

(Anonymous) 2024-02-24 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It went canon in such a stupid and unsatisfying way that people immediately lost interest. If he'd died on the dark side, or if she hadn't kissed him, I guarantee it would still be a juggernaut. Because there'd be something to fix; a "what might have been" air about the whole thing.

This is kind of why I'd be fascinated if Zutara went canon in the (not very good) Netflix adaptation. It's been a massive fandom ship for over a decade, but botching a ship in canon is apparently the way to kill it.

I'd coin it "pulling a reylo". You get what you want, but in such a shitty way that it ends up killing the thing you loved.
