will never not think about how Andor season 2 draws to close, the story begins to focus on four women: kleya, vel, mon and bix. Women who were and will be incredibly pivotal to the Rebellion, to the effort to liberate the galaxy.

Women who were all saved and influenced by Cassian in some way. Cassian saved Vel’s life, even if maybe that was not his conscious intention. and by so doing he may have just saved the fucking Rebellion. He enabled her to deliver that massive pay day to Luthen and who the fuck knows what that paid for.

Kleya, who thought she was destined for death, who had ordered the hit on Cassian in season 1 for the very reason she assumed she was doomed to die: knowing too much. “It would be you wouldn’t it” is a statement of “it would be you who would kill me”. The operative who always comes through. the man who is always where he is needed. the man she had ordered to be killed himself. the messenger. but cassian refuses to leave her. he breaks basic protocol and spycraft. saves her so she can see the sunrise. the same sunrise he knows he’ll never see.

Mon, who was rescued from the senate by cass, only able to have the courage to give that speech due many things, sure-- most of all being her own courage and belief in her truth-- but that assurance that luthen had someone on the inside to get her out had to have strengthened her resolve. and Cass is able to pull her out, ensure that she is able to escape to yavin and lead the rebellion.

And of course Bix, who will live a life of peace with her child because of the sacrifice Cassian makes. because she was brave enough to choose herself, to choose the galaxy.

Some stuff I caught from the Denise and Kyle q+a at comic con Manchester:

Syrel was "so turned on" during the interrogation which was 'their first date'

Dedra started a death cult in prison and Denise would come back and play that when she's 80. (Lol)

"Dedra would've gone to anywhere he lived and said absolutely not we have to live in my incredibly clean perfect house"

"he's being sloppy with his cereal to piss off his mom"

"she thought they were gonna be rewarded by the empire but the show is extraordinary because it shows that the empire doesn't care about you, it spits you out. That's why in real life I choose to be in the rebellion. Dedra believes if they do this heinous thing together they will go back to coruscant and be heroes. In her mind they would have lived in a house like Mon mothma's house and been celebrities."

tbh all I want rn is for kleya to eventually feel safe enough to allow herself to slowly take down the spiked, armored walls around her and open up to other people. for her to allow herself to feel and express grief, joy, excitement, amusement, for her to be flustered, for her to make real friends for the first time in her adult life, for her to know that she is genuinely loved. to learn how to love. to have people who show her every day that she is appreciated, valued, admired, and people like to have her around.

I want her to be invited to meals by vel and/or mon. I want her to have a home she feels safe in. to have people she knows she can trust and rely on.

I want her to know that she has friends everywhere, because even though the galaxy has been so hard on her, there are people out there who are soft and kind and full of love despite it all
