Kill him, a voice inside her head said., sometimes referred to as some variation of the Rey stabbing Kylo drawing, is a work of Star Wars fanart by vamprisms. The art was edited to include a request, "please do not tag as reylo."[1] Another tumblr user, do-you-have-a-flag, made a post about the request:
"I just saw fanart of Rey straight up murdering Kylo with a lightsaber through the chest and the artist had to be like “please don’t tag as reylo” this is modern comedy"[2]
This post was more widely circulated (with 75,956 notes) than the original artwork (~11,000 notes).
Other Responses
The art itself garnered little written commentary, although it was clearly reblogged and liked by many. One fan added a simple exclamation of, "fuck yes."[3] to vamprism's art.
The discussion of do not tag as reylo was a bit more expansive. erinnightwalker made a joke that Reylos viewed the artwork as "Extreme Pegging."[4] Another suggested the artist did not want the work spitefully tagged as reylo, "because the reylos will complain ok???"[5]
