the huge dichotomy between what we expect and what we actually see when kylo ren is unmasked is so interesting to me though. like, kylo beneath the mask has freckles. goddamn freckles. let that sink in. a spray of inconsistently placed freckles across his cheeks. the cgi people could easily have removed that detail, but they chose not to.

remove the mask, and suddenly his height doesn’t make him intimidating – it makes him gangly. a little awkward even. like his arms and legs are too long for him to know what to do with them and he wishes he could take up less room.

remove the mask, and suddenly we’re presented with someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. his face is so open – one look and he’s an open book, he couldn’t be stoic if he wanted to.

remove the mask, and we have literally the last person you’d expect kylo ren to be, and goddamn do I eat that up.
