#except for cassian

[vanderdyks]

It's the way everybody else in the rebellion just refers to K-2SO as "droid," except Cassian. To Cassian, it's always "K," it's always his name.

DIEGO LUNA as CASSIAN ANDOR in every episode: ↳ Season 2 Episode 06

[hereathemoment]

I just remembered that Cassian sat across from Mor sipping tea while she talked about how Nesta should be in a dungeon or being tortured by being locked up in hewn city and he’s just there blown the fuck away by Mor’s beauty AND THEN LATER she winnows to Illyria where Cassian is training, ogles him and talks to Nesta about how she’ll never deserve him and how attractive he is

Nesta stood up for Cassian during the high lord meeting, in front of EVERYBODY and he can’t take his family aside and tell them to stop starting fights with her? He’ll stand in front of Mor when Eris is around but sit by and do nothing when Rhys threatens Nesta’s life?

He. Does. Not. Love. Her. Funny also that his attitude changed toward her after the war when she was taking other men to her bed. Sjm made her sleep around out of character so that nessian can have hate sex but sjm still virtue signals feminism as if Cassian in acowar wasn’t calling her sweetheart and Cassian in acomaf didn’t wipe away her tears in front of the queens and everyone. He promised her time together as his would-be last words. But then sjm writes that Nesta uses sex to cope and now all-of-a-sudden Cassian is telling her that everybody fucking hates her and that he never asked to be shackled to her. Making it clear she can only use sex as a coping mechanism if it’s sex WITH HIM.

Suddenly he’s not understanding. Suddenly he isn’t gentle with her. No, now he’s an incel who locks Nesta up until she caves and sleeps with him.

It’s hard to imagine a being with wings, who flies in the air, would want to confine his MATE to a house she can’t escape from. Azriel, too, was locked up as a boy and then acts as a prison guard against her? And for Feyre to be the one to do it when she was supposedly traumatized when Tamlin locked her in his mansion? I understand why elain packed her clothes and sent her on her way— she’s the type to save herself and if she sided with Nesta she’d be locked up alongside her.

I’m just saying, ACOSF is a lot to unpack and I’m still processing my shock and disgust years later. I truly can’t believe it happened.

Me: So, Andor season 2 couldn’t possibly make the Rogue One visual parallels hit any harder, could it?!

Tony Gilroy: Hold my beer

[dreamsuvivor]

Nesta was 100% in the right for telling Feyre the truth and I will die on this hill

[anthqnystark]

i'm not a star wars girl but i am a rebelcaptain girl. no i won't elaborate

[yaralulu]

Thinking about how much better cassian and eris’s conversation at the end of acosf would’ve been if it was nesta instead of cassian’s dumb ass.Cassian literally had to have it spelled out for him that eris is wearing a mask and might actually be a good male and even then he still missed the mark completely and called him a coward.I think nesta would’ve been a lot more understanding especially when she realized her and eris might not be so different after all.It could have been a defining moment to show nesta’s growth and the whole scene just would’ve been a lot more captivating if it was nesta involved 🤷.

This goes hand in hand with how I’ll literally never get over SJM fumbling so hard when it came to nesta and eris and I’m not just talking in the romantic sense.I’m talking nesta playing courtier with eris and being the only who can deal with him because he only seems to like her.Nesta seeing past eris’s cunning mask and cruelty and him seeing past her tough exterior and harsh words.Them slowly developing a silent sort of understanding of each other and eventually becoming allies.Maybe sharing a kiss here and there because they’re both hot and single and they want to.Their relationship genuinely had so much potential and their chemistry was off the charts.I’ll forever be in mourning.

Ironically every single character had better writing than cassian and his immediate ferrix circle on a show named andor

[krispypajamalady]

Dear Pro IC stans,

Please explain to me how sexual assualt is romantic. How is it even remotely appealing to you?

Rhysand is such a feminist icon right? Did he shove the feminism up his ass every night he drugged Feyre and SAed her?

Cassian is such a good mate to Nesta. He is so good that he cannot keep his hands to himself, does not know the meaning of the word no and will punish her for disobeying Rhys.

Feyre is the first High Lady! Omg! It's so shameful that she is. It's so fucking shameful that it is Feyre, who gets gaslighted, doesn't lift a finger to do something good for the people in the Court of Nightmares.

Nesta? What has she done? Spoken up? Criticized IC when they were wrong. And she gets hated on. Why? Because she was rude to Feyre dearest.

Be grateful her dramatic ass is still alive because of Nesta.

How is it justified when Mor, Cassian and all fuck around, but A HUGE CRIME when Nesta does it? Huh?

Lemme tell you why. Because they worship the ground Rhys walks on.

It isn't just the IC with degraded frontal lobe. It's all of you.

Happy Holidays! Please find joy in the world today!

kleya and luthen conversation transcripts: season 2 [arc 3-4]

typed these up for me and @agentsofquack to have on hand and thought people might also appreciate having them for quick reference needs! [S1] [S2 Pt.1] (speaker alternates on line breaks and brackets indicate an action)

Season 2, Episode 9: Welcome To The Rebellion | 17:50-18:30

"She threw him out. We don't know if she's speaking, what she'll say, or how they'll react. All we know about Bail Organa's team is that there's something wrong. It's hardly ideal. There's no choice but to try."

"We have nothing. He's never even been inside."

"Erskin knows the building."

"Putting a lot of faith in Erskin."

"Mothma knows the building."

"And doesn't trust me. And doesn't know him. Bail's people might be there already."

(Cassian) "And? If she gets arrested?"

"It all comes down."

Season 2, Episode 10: Make It Stop | 4:32-5:12

"Tell me you're ready."

"We'll meet at the old steps."

"There was construction the last time I went through."

"We don't have time for alternatives. Keep your distance."

"I will if you will. [sigh] Look, going like this is risky enough. Just promise me if it doesn't look perfect, you won't engage."

"I think we used up all the perfect. …..Move."

"..Tuck your shirt in."

Season 2, Episode 10: Make It Stop | 9:37-10:15

"Ghorman. Scarif. Kyber. Krennic. Erso."

"Galen Erso. Galen."

"Engineer Galen Erso. Super weapon. Based in Scarif. Fuel from Ghorman. Kyber from Jedha. ISB Krennic. Galen Erso."

"And you know where to go?"

"..No. [inhale] No, no. I'm doing the comms-"

"No, you're not."

"I'll be faster."

"I'll do the burn."

"Luthen-"

"Please don't argue. Just be waiting for me. Just be there. …Go."

Season 2, Episode 10: Make It Stop | 31:10-31:50

"Well done."

"Am I your daughter now?"

"When it's useful."

"I have to think about that."

"We'll be whoever we have to. It won't always be up to us. I'm Luthen now. You're Kleya. Everything else is up for grabs. I didn't mean to upset you."

"I'm not upset. Just hungry."

"[holds up credits] Let's eat."

Season 2, Episode 10: Make It Stop | 34:56-35:40

"When do we start fighting back?"

"We have."

"By walking away?"

"We fight to win. That means we lose. And lose and lose and lose… until we're ready. All you know now is how much you hate. You bank that. You hide that. You keep it alive until you know what to do with it. And when I tell you to move, you move. Move!"

~

Season 2, Episode 10: Make It Stop | 37:26-40:15

"How many do you think there are?"

"Fifty. Maybe more. You're not eating. It's a beautiful place."

"How long do we have?"

"Look around."

"I knew you'd do this."

"Think about where you are."

"You're backing out."

"You need to pay attention. Life shows us what we stand to lose. Most people look away. We can't be like that. Look at me. You need to accept what you're leaving behind."

"All right. We're here. It's a pretty place. None of that matters right now. You're just being sad."

"I need to know you're making a choice. I lived most of my life.. without ever realizing that was a possibility."

"You're afraid."

"I'm only afraid of what I'm doing to you."

"I know what I want."

"[places detonator down] Do it."

"You think I won't?"

"You have every right."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because today, it's real."

"You promised."

"I lie. Get used to it."

"[goes to push detonator]"

"[stops her] Don't. [pushes detonator] ..Look at me! ..And turn. We'll be leaving now. We made our choice."

[antianakin]

As much as Saw and Luthen are definitely different characters, they also fulfill a VERY similar role within the narratives and in the universe of Star Wars. They're both the grizzled old rebel who's given up so much of themselves to fight the Empire that, in some ways, they've become the Empire. They've had to twist themselves into someone they hate because they believe it's the only way to take out their enemy. They're technically on the same side as the rebellion and clearly have been affiliated with the rebellion in the past, but have ended up at odds with the main rebel alliance by the time of Rogue One. They've been at this for pretty much the entirety of the Empire's reign and neither of them live long enough to see the fruits of their labors but both play a vital part in the beginning of its end. They also both end up with a young girl they have to take in and care for at some point who they have a very complex toxic relationships with and who has to kill them/leave them to die.

I don't know, it's just interesting that they're SUCH similar narratives with such similar places within the context of the greater story.

I fear I’m not ready for tomorrow. I expect great heartbreak and loss. I mean it is Andor we are talking about. And I hate this series for this and also love it because I am a deranged Fangirl.

tried making @/duckysprouts Ares design as a sim, though this definitely not as accurate as it could be lol
