i know it's obviously English Wikipedia so it's full of the most wretched biased people you'll ever meet, but the fact that there's like 4 different sections in the article for the vietnam war on its influence in various elements of US home society (black servicemen etc) and so comparatively little on its effects on both contemporary Vietnamese people and modern day Vietnam outside of "oh there's lots of unexploded bombs and everyone got horrible illnesses from our chemicals" is insane.
literally they will bomb your country and then spend all their time writing about the implications it had for *their* country at home. evil evil evil self interested people

Fiona defending all her decisions with being south side and wanting to better herself is genuinely awful. She’s becoming everything she hated seasons ago. And she is screwing over everyone in the process.

Bayverse!Leo as a Boyfriend – Headcanons
(Because even if I don’t like him, he deserves better characterization and development. And besides, I love overanalyzing.)
Pairing: Leonardo x Female!Reader
Warnings: Overprotectiveness, possessive behavior, affection-starved. Subtle (but present) hints of: narcissism, egocentrism, perfectionism, spirituality, insomnia. I developed him so well that I actually like him now—I don’t like that.
Tumblr media
Leonardo, as a partner, would be a fascinating study in contradictions. At first glance, he seems like the perfect boyfriend—disciplined, loyal, protective, someone you can trust without hesitation. But being with him isn’t easy.
Not because he’s cold or indifferent—on the contrary, he feels too much. He’s just spent his entire life learning how to hide it. To him, emotions are a double-edged sword: love can give you strength, yes, but it can also make you drop your guard, make mistakes, and risk everything you’ve fought for.
And Leonardo can’t afford that luxury.
Since he was young, his identity has been tied to duty. He’s not just an older brother—he is the older brother. The leader. The one who must always have the answers. There is no room for error, no space for doubt. That’s why, if he ever fell in love, he would do so with the same intensity he applies to any challenge—with absolute commitment. But also, with a need for control that can be suffocating.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust his partner. It’s that he needs to make sure nothing puts her in danger. That she’s safe, that there are no loose ends, that every move is calculated. Don’t expect Leo to be the laid-back boyfriend who goes with the flow. He will want to protect you—even from things that might not even be a real threat.
If he comes to your house and you don’t answer, his mind will assume the worst before even considering that you were simply in the shower. If you go out alone at night, he won’t be at ease until he knows you made it home safely. Not out of jealousy, but because the thought of losing someone he loves terrifies him. But instead of expressing that fear, he translates it into rules, into planning, into strategies.
Because Leonardo doesn’t know how to handle what is beyond his control.
This was evident in Out of the Shadows. His instinct was to make decisions for everyone, to divide the team when he felt they were weakening. He truly believed he was doing the right thing, that carrying the burden alone was the best course of action. But in the process, he lost sight of what his brothers really needed. And that’s exactly how he would be in a relationship—not out of malice, but because he believes being the strong one is his duty.
And while Leo loves with every fiber of his being, he doesn’t say it easily. He’s not the type to look you in the eyes and just blurt out an “I love you.” His way of showing affection is more silent, more tangible. He will remember exactly how you like your tea, he will learn to pick up on even the slightest change in your tone of voice, he will make sure you always have an escape plan in case things go wrong. But if you expect spontaneous hugs or verbal expressions of love, you might find yourself frustrated. Not because he doesn’t feel it, but because, to him, love isn’t something you say—it’s something you prove.
However, if someone manages to break through his armor, they will see something that few have ever witnessed. Because beneath all the rigidity, the discipline, and the self-imposed perfection, there is a boy who never had the chance to make mistakes. A boy who has spent years carrying a tremendous weight, who can’t remember the last time someone saw him and not just the leader. A boy who desperately needs a space where he can stop being the strategist, the protector, the flawless Leonardo… and simply be Leo.
Leonardo isn’t someone who easily succumbs to distractions. Not because he doesn’t enjoy them, but because he’s always believed his time should be invested in something useful. Yet on the rare occasions when he allows himself to let his guard down—in the privacy of his room or on a quiet night at the lair—small details reveal who he truly is beyond being the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
For instance, he enjoys science fiction movies and TV shows. He wouldn’t admit it out loud—after all, Mikey would never let him forget it—but there’s something about exploring space, about advanced civilizations and the ethical dilemmas these worlds present, that fascinates him. Perhaps it’s because he sees his own struggle reflected in them: leaders forced to make impossible decisions, burdened with responsibility, torn between duty and heart. Whether it’s Star Trek, The Expanse, or even some of the more philosophical tales of Ghost in the Shell… Leo sits with his arms crossed, pretending not to be too interested, yet if someone pays close attention, they’ll notice the intensity in his gaze and the way his fingers tense with every twist in the story.
And although everyone sees him as the serious one, it’s not that he lacks a sense of humor. His humor is just more subtle, drier, more ironic. He won’t burst out laughing like Mikey or be as explosive as Raph, but if you’re close enough, if you’ve earned his trust, you’ll notice that there are moments when he quietly drops a joke in a neutral tone, waiting to see if you catch it. And when you do, when you respond with a retort just as sharp, the corner of his mouth barely curves, as if he’s quietly satisfied with the interaction.
But if there’s one thing that truly brings him peace, it’s tending to his bonsai trees. It’s a hobby that no one in the lair seems to fully understand. Mikey calls them boring, Raph jokes that they’re just “miniature trees,” and Donnie respects the practice but sees it more as an exercise in patience. For Leo, however, it’s more than that. It’s a reminder of balance. Of control. Of how even the smallest force, with the right guidance, can grow in the right way. And on nights when the pressure becomes too much, when he feels the weight of his role crushing him, he sits in silence before his little tree, allowing himself a moment to breathe, to reconnect with himself.
But love… love is different.
Leo doesn’t allow himself to fall in love easily. Not because he doesn’t want to, but because his mind simply doesn’t work that way. He needs to feel that his partner is more than just a fleeting attraction. He needs connection. Compatibility. A deep, unwavering understanding. And that isn’t built overnight.
That’s why, when he finally starts to realize that what he feels for you goes beyond friendship, the first emotion that floods him isn’t happiness.
It’s doubt.
And Leonardo shouldn’t doubt.
He always has answers. He always has a plan. But for the first time, he’s standing on ground where logic is useless, where he can’t break things down into a battle strategy. He can’t make a pros-and-cons list about his feelings. He can’t calculate every move the way he would in combat. And that frustrates him.
Because if he accepts it—if he acknowledges that his feelings are real—it means there’s something in his life that he can’t control.
And Leonardo hates not having control.
Leonardo isn’t someone who falls asleep easily.
Not because he doesn’t need to—his body demands rest just like anyone else’s—but because his mind never truly shuts off.
In the lair, when everyone else is asleep—when even Donnie has finally stepped away from his monitors, and Raph has stopped pounding the punching bag—Leo is still awake. Arms crossed, back stiff against the wall, gaze lost in the dim light of his room.
It’s in those moments of solitude that his mind betrays him.
When he tries to dissect what he feels, to categorize it, to put it into some kind of logical order. Because he’s always in control. Always.
And this… this shouldn’t be any different.
He’s not impulsive like Mikey, letting himself be carried away by every emotion without a second thought.
He’s not a ticking time bomb like Raph, ready to explode at the most unexpected moment.
He’s not even like Donnie, obsessively analyzing every variable to the point of overload.
He is Leonardo.
Leader. Warrior. Strategist.
And there is nothing he can’t control.
So if he has reached the conclusion that what he feels for you is real, then he will take the reins.
It won’t be difficult.
It shouldn’t be difficult.
He will force himself to keep everything in place, to act with precision. His glances will linger just a second longer—but not enough to be obvious. His words will be measured, carefully chosen, but still carrying his usual composed tone. He will make small, almost imperceptible changes.
Like making sure you walk on the safer side of the street.
Adjusting his stance subtly to block the wind when you’re on the rooftop.
Asking if you’ve eaten well—but casually, as if it’s not really important.
And the worst part? Unlike Donnie, who would give himself away with nervous fidgeting and stammered words, you will never notice.
Because Leonardo won’t allow you to notice.
All you’ll see is someone who has everything under control. Someone who watches you with the same intensity he reserves for his enemies on the battlefield, as if he’s calculating every single one of your movements.
But what he doesn’t want you to see is the opposite.
That inside, he’s nervous.
That his palms sweat when he touches you, when his fingers accidentally brush against yours.
That his pulse quickens when you get too close, and he has to remind himself to breathe normally.
That in every conversation, in every moment, there’s a small part of him afraid that one wrong step will ruin everything.
Because if there is one thing Leonardo could never forgive himself for, it’s losing what you’ve built together.
Not just losing you, but losing your trust.
And if that were to happen… how could he justify it?
How could he explain to himself that after a lifetime of making the best possible choices to protect those he cares about—this was the one he let slip through his fingers?
And when he finally allows himself to admit it—when he has broken through every mental barrier he imposed on himself, when he has analyzed every angle, when he has measured every consequence—Leonardo feels something inside him loosen.
For a moment, just a moment, it’s as if he has won the hardest battle of his life.
The weight on his shoulders dissolves, and for the first time in what feels like forever, he breathes deeply without the pressure in his chest tightening.
You are his.
Not in some shallow, possessive way, but in something deeper, more primal.
Like an instinct that has always been there, buried beneath layers of discipline and responsibility, waiting to be acknowledged.
And now that he has… there is no turning back.
But the peace doesn’t last.
Because almost immediately, another weight crashes down on him—heavier, inescapable.
Before, his burden was uncertainty.
Now, it is certainty.
Now that he has you, he must protect you.
With everything he has.
Not just from the dangers of the outside world—but from himself.
Because Leonardo cannot afford to fail.
And even though love is uncharted territory—a battlefield he has never stepped foot on—he demands perfection from himself.
To be the ideal partner.
To give you exactly what you need before you even ask.
To measure every word, every gesture, every decision.
To make sure you never have to question if he is enough for you.
Because he has to be.
He is Leonardo.
And Leonardo does not fail.
But there is a problem.
Because you don’t want the flawless strategist.
You don’t want the leader who is always in control.
You don’t want the polished, calculated version of him.
You just want Leo.
The Leo who watches sci-fi shows but would never admit to liking them.
The Leo who pretends he doesn’t enjoy messing around with his brothers, but secretly loves the rare moments when he catches Raph off guard or makes Donnie roll his eyes.
The Leo who tends to his bonsai trees with quiet devotion because, though he never says it out loud, they reflect his philosophy: patience, growth, balance.
And that is a terrifying concept for him.
Because showing you that side of himself means lowering his guard.
It means allowing you to see what’s underneath the armor.
The boy who gets frustrated.
Who sometimes doesn’t know what to do.
Who fears he won’t be enough.
That side of him—no one has truly seen it.
Not even his brothers.
But you… you want to see it.
And the road to him letting you in will be a long one.
Because accepting that you love him for who he is—not for what he represents, not for what he does, but for his very essence—is the hardest test Leonardo has ever faced.
Leonardo believes he has everything under control.
That he can handle his emotions the way he handles a katana: with precision, with discipline, with absolute mastery over every movement.
But you…
You are a challenge unlike any other.
Because while he struggles to keep his composure, while he measures every word and makes sure not to take a wrong step, you simply are.
You don’t need strategies or plans. You don’t analyze every interaction as if it were a life-or-death mission.
And that unsettles him.
Because deep down, Leonardo doesn’t know how to be loved.
He knows how to protect. He knows how to fight. He knows how to sacrifice himself for others.
But when it comes to receiving love… that’s where the conflict begins.
He appreciates that you’re not overly affectionate with him.
That you don’t suffocate him with displays of affection that would make him uncomfortable, that would force him to lower his guard all at once.
But at the same time, he dies when you take his face in your hands and kiss him.
At first, he goes completely still, trying to process it, trying not to lose control.
But the moment you feel his breath hitch, the moment you notice the way his fingers grip your waist tighter than he probably meant to—you know he’s falling.
And the worst part is that he hates it.
Because Leonardo shouldn’t let himself go.
He shouldn’t forget the weight on his shoulders or allow something as simple as a kiss to make him feel lighter—as if, for just a moment, the world didn’t depend on him.
But he does.
And it frustrates him.
Because he’s supposed to be the unshakable fortress.
He’s supposed to be untouchable.
And yet, here he is.
With his heart pounding too fast.
With his mind completely blank.
With you stealing his control with just a simple touch.
It sounds contradictory.
Because it is contradictory.
But Leo is a contradiction.
Because while he says attachment is a weakness, he holds you tighter when you try to pull away.
Because while he insists emotions cloud judgment, he stays awake until dawn thinking about what he feels for you.
Because while he tries to convince himself that his duty is more important than his happiness, he wonders if, just this once, he can have both.
And that is the real battle.
Not against an enemy.
Not against an external threat.
But against himself.
Because loving you means lowering his guard.
It means trusting that, even if he doesn’t have everything under control, you’ll still be there.
It means accepting that love isn’t a problem to solve, nor a responsibility to bear.
It’s just… love.
And no matter how hard he fights it, no matter how much he tries to convince himself he can keep his distance, there is one truth he cannot deny:
You are the only person in the world who can make Leonardo stop fighting.
Leonardo isn’t someone who takes intimacy lightly.
For him, physical touch isn’t just an act. It isn’t just a moment.
It’s an offering.
And he doesn’t give himself away so easily.
Not because he’s afraid—or at least, he’d never admit it.
But deep down, there’s an unease that eats away at him.
His size. His strength. His biology.
You’re human. Fragile in comparison.
And even though he knows you’re strong, that you wouldn’t do anything unless you were absolutely sure, his protective instincts won’t allow it.
It’s not just about protecting you.
It’s about himself.
His own control.
Because control is the one thing he’s always had.
Ever since he took on the role of leader, ever since he understood that his life wasn’t his own but belonged to those who depended on him, Leonardo learned to restrain himself.
To hold back.
To be the balance in the midst of chaos.
But you…
You make him lose that balance.
And if he allows himself to let go, if he allows that wall to crumble, he fears what might happen.
Because to Leonardo, intimacy isn’t just physical pleasure.
It’s a connection.
It’s binding his soul with yours.
It’s giving you a part of himself that no one has ever seen before.
And that is the real danger
Because if he gives you that—if he allows himself to feel you, to touch you, to love you on such a profound level—
Then there’s no going back.
He knows he could become addicted.
That the moment he lets go of the weight on his shoulders and focuses only on you—on your body beneath his, on your breath hitching, on the way you say his name—
Everything else will fade away.
And Leonardo cannot afford to forget his duty.
But… what if, just this once, he could?
What if, just this once, he could be Leo and not the leader?
If he could forget the world for a few hours—lose himself in you, in the warmth of your skin, in the way you look at him as if he’s more than just a warrior, more than just a responsibility, more than just a soldier trained to sacrifice everything.
If he could simply be yours.
That… that is what truly terrifies him.
Because if he tastes it once, he knows he’ll want it again.
And again.
And again.
Until there is nothing left of the fortress he has so carefully built.
Until there is nothing left of the perfect leader his brothers need.
Only him.
Only you.
Just two souls bound together—no rules, no duties, no limits.
And though he tries to convince himself he can resist…
He knows that, eventually, he will fall.
But Leonardo knows he’s not ready.
That he can’t let it all go—not yet.
Because if he does, who will bear the weight of the world in his place?
If he falls, his brothers fall. If he allows himself to be selfish, even for a moment, everything he has built could collapse.
So he waits.
He waits for you to understand.
To understand that there are things he still cannot give you, no matter how much he desires them.
But that doesn’t mean he gives you nothing.
Something just as intimate, just as addictive.
Vulnerability.
Not with his body, but with his soul.
So when night falls, when the world goes quiet and there is no one but the two of you, he lets you see beyond the barrier.
He lets you step into his sanctuary.
He pulls out the blankets he keeps tucked away in the back of his closet, the ones with the worn-out Rebel Alliance logo, and hands them to you without a word.
He lets you see the space-themed pillowcase he would never admit he still uses.
And then, in the dim glow of his room, when there are no more distractions, no more responsibilities, you talk.
Not about strategies. Not about training. Not about what is expected of him.
You talk about everything and nothing all at once.
About stars and distant galaxies.
About the Star Wars episodes he never gets tired of watching.
About the times he wondered if his destiny was already written or if he could take a detour.
And it’s there, in those organic conversations—unplanned, uncalculated, imperfect—that you witness something few have ever seen:
Not the leader.
Not the eldest brother.
Just Leo.
And then, when sleep finally claims you, you curl up against his chest—no fear, no hesitation.
Your breathing slows, steady and peaceful.
Your warmth seeps into his skin.
And Leonardo, the one who never lets his guard down, the one who is always on alert, stays still.
Feeling.
Listening.
Your heartbeat, syncing with his.
Nothing separates you but a thin layer of skin.
And for the first time in a long time, he forgets.
Forgets duty, weight, sacrifice.
Forgets that he must be strong, that he must be everyone’s shield.
Because in this moment, there is only you.

I feel like something that should have been explored more in Arcane is that despite the dangers and pretty much horrific conditions, Zaun children seemingly grow up a lot more caring and have a larger understanding of family in comparison to Piltover children. And if such a reflection of the real world in a sense.
The kids of Zaun seemingly grow up with a lot more adult support. Ekko is easily welcomed under Benzo’s wings. Vander adopts 4 kids (two of which we learn he knew of before their parents death, two of which we can’t be sure of). Silco, despite all what happened, and his ulterior motives, shows no problem adopting Powder/Jinx. In the alternate universe it seems as though he’s still played a part in the kids lives. Jinx adopts Isha easily and Sevika cares for her as well. Hell, even Mr. War Crimes Against Humanity does well with little Viktor (until ya know, the animal abuse).
Hell, up until Vander dies (the first time) there seems to be a large understanding of if there’s an orphan or a kid in need of guidance, take them in! (And certainly don’t inform them of your plans to turn a giant pink salamander into drugs and be confused when a nine year old doesn’t understand). If a kid wants to be your apprentice, let them! For the most part, until things all went wrong in the end of act 1 of season 1, the worst parts of Zaun seem pretty typical for any city in poverty.
Match that with what we see with how Caitlyn and Jayce grow up. Caitlyn is given adult support, yes, and it’s clearly a good adult mentor, but it’s not entirely by her choice. It’s been chosen for her. She’s safe, but there’s a lack of freedom of choice. Meanwhile, when Jayce gets older, and that same accident in Act 1 happens, the family that supported him and his mom turns their backs. His own mom doesn’t support him either, because she’s afraid of what he’s talking about, but also because he’s damming them to being outcasts.
Conversely, Vander is more than willing to take the fall for what Claggor, Milo, Vi and Powder did. He’s willing to go to prison for a long time, in order for them to have a better future. Despite Vi’s best efforts, he’s not going to listen to her (she is just a kid) and he’s not letting his family go down and get hurt.
Meanwhile, a man who grew up in this mentality, where there’s a wide sense of family support from people who aren’t your biological family, is the one to go to Jayce, a stranger, and tells him he believes in him. It’s why it’s such a shock to Jayce; his own family and family friends denied him. They didn’t support him.
I think that’s what makes all the difference. Piltover and Zaun have wildly different understandings of family and forgiveness. For Piltover, it shuns and damns the lives of those who upset the balance. For Zaun, it provides safety and never ending understanding.
Just. I’m thinking.

Katsuki must be so utterly miserable. He must be so tired. Imagine working tirelessly for 8 years, going back and forth between America and Japan (I assume at least 3 times a year) to see progress for the suit. Working on designs, material, fabric, testing out certain weapons. he must’ve thought about Izuku’s physical capabilities, his injuries, his weaknesses after the loss of his quirk. Wanting to tackle all of that in 1 miracle suit for the boy you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, compete for the rest of you life with. Then after 8 long years of labour, 8 long years of suppressed feelings, yearning. 8 LONG HARD YEARS OF sitting idly waiting for the right moment to confess to the love of your life (you know having this whole plan to give him the suit because YEAH! fuck a ring that sentimental shit is worthless make the love of your life a badass mech suit to be hero’s together). Izuku decided yk what? I’m gonna get drunk the night of class A reunion and then while drunk I’m going to realise my very fickle feelings for the small high school crush I had 8 years ago. (mind you didn’t think about not once in 8 years) and I’m going to tell Katsuki. Not only am I going to tell Katsuki but when he extends an offer for me to join his hero agency I'll REJECT?
Middle school midoriya would’ve been FUMING!!!!!
(The epilogue really sent me out of hiatus hey guys missed you how’s everybody doing)

The Red-Headed League
After Watson’s statement in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that he had both married and settled in practice, the rest of the stories create a very contradictory entanglement of facts. The Doctor’s marital affairs are confusing, to say the least. In “The Five Orange Pips”, he refers to a wife, although the events take place before their first meeting. Mrs Watson is then granted a few occasional scenes but is more often conveniently out of the picture, and she disappears completely post-hiatus, although a later mention of an unnamed wife is made in the Holmes-penned “The Blanched Soldier”.
Watson’ medical activities are even more puzzling than any number of wives we choose to marry him to. In “The Stock Broker’s Clerk", he tells us he purchased a small practice shortly after his marriage that he dedicated himself to restore to its former glory, as by the time of the Boscombe Valley case he has a “fairly long list” of patients. But the events of the League take place shortly after, and he confesses his work “is never very absorbing”. The Doctor’s habit of pawning off his patients to his neighbour(s) when Holmes engages him on a case of interest surely did not help to retain them. Watson might have found, like his literary agent Dr Doyle, that it is difficult to pursue a career as a doctor while trying to gain success as a writer.

I'm kind-of genuinely devastated that they decided to cut out the reveal of Perrin having known all along about Mon Mothma's rebel activities and was getting interrogated WEEKLY by the Empire and never cracked even once.
Tumblr media
This would've helped answer SO MANY QUESTIONS about Mon and Perrin, and it could've easily helped answer the question of why Mon felt like she could just walk away from her family after making herself public enemy number one.
She goes to finally explain it all to Perrin right before she makes the speech because dammit she might not have trust him or even like him all that much but she doesn't want him DEAD and he deserves the chance to find this out from her and get himself to safety before she turns his life upside down, and he tells her he's known all along and covered for her this whole time and never once cracked or been discovered, even when she framed him for gambling and sold off their daughter to a gangster's son. He lets her know that he doesn't need to go to safety, he's not just going to run now because that'll just make him look like he was involved in it. He can continue to cover for himself when the Empire comes to interrogate him again, and he can do it well enough to ensure Leida doesn't get implicated, either. Mon's priority is the rebellion, her priority is her work and it always has been, even to the detriment of her relationship with her family, and Perrin understood that but it meant that HIS priority had to be protecting and taking care of Leida in the absence of her mother. So Mon has to go, but Perrin has to stay because their daughter needs him now more than ever.
And it just makes the choice that Mon has made so clear, the sacrifice she chose to make for the sake of the rebellion, and she can't back out now, she can't make a different choice because she tells herself she's doing this FOR Leida, to try to make a better world for her daughter to live in, but in order to give Leida that world, she has to leave Leida behind.
But she realizes now that she CAN trust Perrin, she could've trusted him all along, so she chooses to trust him now. She trusts him with their daughter, she trusts that he can take care of himself and Leida in her absence once more.
This helps Mon's arc SO MUCH, and I honestly love it, and as Bissell says it's technically a non-canon thing now because it clearly never even made it into the script really let alone got filmed, but it's pretty easy to slot it into what we DID get to see, so as far as I'm concerned, this is my canon. This fixes so many of the problems I had with the end of this arc for Mon and makes it so much more emotional and almost tragic. Mon made her choices and you can argue that some of them were mistakes if you want, you can argue that it made her a bad mother if you wanted to, but it's so much more complicated and nuanced than that, and I love that this finally makes that so clear. Mon made her choice and her family paid the price a long time ago, long before Mon was willing to acknowledge that she'd made that choice.
#star wars#mon mothma#perrin fertha#andor#andor spoilers#andor s2 spoilers#sw andor#star wars andor#this fits in SO much better with the perrin from mask of fear actually too#and the relationship he and mon have and the choice that mon makes towards the end about keeping him in the loop or not#she doesn't KNOW for sure if she can trust him and she has to make a choice and she does#and she sticks to it#but she did know that he had strengths that she didn't have and they had been more of a team once and she did care about him#and i love the idea that mon is the one who keeps distancing herself and all perrin can do is watch#and he's smart enough and connected enough to know exactly what's happening and why and he even AGREES with it#even though he hates that she doesn't trust him and hates the way it makes leida feel#he never confronts her about it because what she's doing IS important and if she wanted to trust him to help her then he's right there#he loves mon enough to just keep his silence and take care of leida and do what has to be done to protect her#and mon loves perrin enough to try to protect him by keeping him out of it#and unfortunately all that does is tear the two of them apart because that's what secrets do#GOD it just HITS in the perfect way#this is the kind of quality development we could've gotten with fuller seasons#just let mon feel the real consequences of the choices she's made#let her get slapped in the face with the truth of what she's chosen to do#and she can't regret it or even claim that she wishes she'd done it any other way#but her actions have had consequences#much like cassian's choices have consequences even if he'd do it again if he had to because the rebellion and the cause is worth it
