So small a thing …

BOROMIR: ‘It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt … over so small a thing. Such a little thing.’

ARAGORN: ‘Boromir! Give the Ring to Frodo.’

BOROMIR: ‘As you wish. I care not.’

Those "modern fairy tales where the princess saves herself" types of books not only misrepresent the gender roles in fairy tales (there are tons of stories where girls get to save the day), but they fundamentally misunderstand the entire genre.

Fairy tales aren't about saving yourself.

These aren't epic myths or heroic legends about the great warriors who slay every monster in their path because they're so awesome. Fairy tales are almost always about ordinary, even incompetent, people who get thrown into strange situations where they only succeed because of the help of others.

It's not a gendered thing. The boy who goes off to seek his fortune is usually the dim-witted third son whose older brothers are the strong, smart ones. The third son succeeds because he is kind to the magical helpers who then complete the tasks for him--and the exact same thing happens when a girl is the main character.

The characters in a fairy tale rarely succeed because they embrace their own strength and take their own path. Much more often, they are told step-by-step what to do, and they succeed because they obey--respecting the wisdom of others.

The core virtue of a fairy tale is not pride, but humility. It's not a story about the strong, but those who are weak, small, helpless. The people who can't do it all on their own, but can recognize the worth and wisdom of others.

Turning this story into a "girl power" (or even a "boy power") story warps it into something that is fundamentally the opposite of a fairy tale, and it has nothing to do with the gender of the main character.

I actually think this is hilarious. Tony Gilroy doesn't seem to understand what shipping is, like canon means nothing to us babe, but he also loves to yap, and if you ask him about something he will have an opinion. Now he's created this feedback loop where his opinions on RebelCaptain are getting clicks, so now journalists are going to ask him more questions about them to get that clickbait and he will never be free.

Like sorry my dude but you're trapped in here with us now. Andor only made me ship them more and I'm working on my first RebelCaptain fic ever for fixit week. Don't feel sorry for me I'm having a great time.

me: I ship them

friend: oh like romantically?

me: no. like cursed object passed between hands for centuries, they are cosmically linked, probably bonded by blood ritual, I think they’ve fought in a war together in at least three lifetimes, and their souls make direct eye contact every time they breathe in the same room

friend: so… romantically?

me: yeah. like. with kissing.

I love how “I know because it’s me” is all the explanation from Jyn that Cassian needs to understand that Stardust is the file they’re looking for. She doesn’t need to clarify that it was her nickname. He just smiles because, finally, he has a name for what he’s always seen in her eyes. He gets it. This is a love story, you guys.

something something cassian’s last word being jyn and also the last thing jyn heard in her life was her own name - a name that she went so long without hearing because she had to hide and pretend to be someone else for so many years. but in her final moments she not only had the comfort of holding someone in her arms, she also died by the side of someone who saw and understood her. someone who didn’t left her behind. and she didn’t have to pretend to be anyone else anymore - she was just herself. just jyn.

the look of absolute defeat in syril's face when cassian asked him who he was... the realization that for years and years now, he had been holding this one-sided rivalry, that every single one of his actions over the past years was for nothing. that not only had he lost, but his unknowing rival didn't even recognize him. and then he died
