EXCERPT:
"The cuirass, belt and boots were the colour of ivory, thick enough in padding to slow a blade. Twisting and curling like vines made of thorns or a web entangled around arcs of lightning were weaves made of kahld steel, which stretched over the torso and shoulders like the embrace of long fingers. The trousers, elbow guards and greaves were a shining shade of grey, slightly slicked in the vein of mined graphite. Pulling all the focus of the eye was the beacon of a golden chest plate fastened over the base armour. Inornate, sturdy and timeless. An emblem of something too far gone from Calista’s memory to rightly recall was encrusted with stones over the heart's resting place. They held importance, she knew this, because each precious stone represented a different part of Thesmora, including sea glass, which the ivari bird used to decorate its nests. At the base of the emblem’s smile hung three pearls, each a representation of the main covenants of the mountain tribes: honour, family and duty to the people."

look star wars is allegedly about war but it is not coherently About War and now. luthen. insanely poignant that the greatest most heroic thing someone can do is be a deserter. be a coward. make it stop. incredible throughline for the franchise all the way down to finn shedding his armor in the desert. Make it stop. and the fact that all of it is because of kleya. Because she couldnt look away. Because he couldnt look away at her not looking away. Because of one angry little girl. all of it… all of it!!!! Her turning to him and asking why cant we MAKE it stop!!!!!!!!!
#COWARDICE STUDIES!!!!!!!!#And well it all comes back to grrm dont worry about it#andor#andor spoilers#and if i say. all the way to luke projecting himself in tlj. standing there and Not fighting. Not being there.#Being Moved by star wars is losing at chess to a stupid alien dog. but they got me

literally all they needed to do was show briefly or imply bix was doing things for the rebellion besides being a stay at home wife
#like have cassian or some other character mention about some mission she just came back from#or have her doing something around the base like vel was#vel got literally no screentime but we got the idea she was busy#bix said so many times she wanted to win#so have her do something#andor#andor spoilers#bix caleen#star wars#my posts

#andor#star wars#colonel draven#mon mothma#bail organa#I think one of the interesting things about andor and rogue one is how much it shows mon mothma trying to strike a balance#a balance between being a leader and active participant while also ensuring that others are involved/committed and informed enough#to also make decisions and lead#partly so that she isn't doing it on her own and partly because she has seen the starkest alternative - palpatine and the empire#and I think people really overlook or don't think about how much that is constantly in the background for her#seeing how the republic got warped and twisted and dominated and becoming the empire all because of one man's will and influence#and so she has to be careful when she does exercise her authority and influence#and she doesn't always get it completely right! she sometimes errs too much on the side of caution!#the meeting with the alliance council earlier in the episode when first being told about luthen's intel being a prime example#she could have been more vocal and pushed back more (but also would it have mattered? or would she have spent capital she might need later?#but in a moment like this with bail organa and with colonel draven backing her up...she can be more assertive because of their relationship#sorry but I just think she's so fascinating and it's moments like these#the expanded universe goes into this with her and it was so interesting - the fear from people like garm bel iblis that she's a dictator#only to know that she was always watching out for that herself#and that she also only took certain leadership burdens on because she didn't want others to be blamed if they failed

does anyone see MY bixcassian vision where theyre like. not Together on mina-rau but their constant cover is being married. and then after they have to leave and they get separate assignments from wilmon and now its really just the two of them and their history is just like bubbling between them
but its sort of hot and cold because bix is managing as best as she can but cassian is kind of spiraling under the pressure of their missions and his paranoid anxiety about bixs safety. im envisioning like. hey cassian can u sleep in the other room right now. and then cassians freaking out about not being a good enough support for bix and dragging her somewhere she shouldnt have ended up with him.
and then hes like um. bix im going on a solo mission please enjoy ur time away from me. and shes like WHAT. do u mean. i gotta come with u. not because im definitely codependently attached to the homey feeling u give me or whatever but because IM the one who wants to do this rebellion shit u cant leave me out. definitely the reason.
many such conflicts like this. and then theyre on yavin and its like. so what maybe theyre in love maybe theyre fucking idk. theyre childhood friends and one of the few connections they have to ferrix and their history and what theyre been thru together and i feel like s2 wanted us to feel their love and protectiveness but what IM looking for here is their fear and their guilt and their warmth and the home that they see in each other. anyway.
#WHY is this so long. why are we letting me talk this long. dont let me get into the baby of it all.#dumb everyone lives au where bix comes back to yavin and shes like yo. cass. look at this thing i got u.#sorry bixcassian baby im writing a version of ur life in my mind where ur parents are SO weird to each other. hope thats okay#star wars#andor#bea.txt#i feel like im still failing to express what im thinking about here at all

Pros: I feel more rested than I have in months.
Cons: Now I have to deal with everything I ignored 🙃

Do you prefer writing canonverse or AUs? You have amazing fics of both so I was curious! ❤️
thank you so much!! 🥺 I prefer writing AUs because it comes easier to me. I'm a relative Star Wars noob at the end of the day, so writing canonverse can be intimidating. I was super nervous doing it the first time and I know I've definitely made some obvious errors that probably made the more SW-savvy people cringe. I've definitely improved and I'm not as scared of it anymore, but I feel a lot more confident playing with my little AUs. and I always really enjoy figuring out how to put these characters into the story and setting I've created (or borrowed) 💜
#i will answer the other asks i got about andor just kinda feeling a little weary rn need a break#and fic rec anon i will also get back to you too!!#anonymous#replies

I think those episodes were good, but three episodes was a LOT. Losing Brasso would have hit much harder if it wasn't all in one go. As opposed to he's back, then gone. Even spacing out the wedding. I dunno, that's just my concern throughout the season because it lessens the tension and slow build. Though, that is a disney thing and not the fault of the creators.
The other side to it is I just miss the acolyte so so bad. It sucks to watch this really expensive-appearing show after hearing the acolyte was too expensive to renew. (I mean, I know that's not why.) But I feel like I'm not connecting with s2 the same way I did s1. Or, it doesn't feel as grounded.
#idk im just thinking back to when cassian came on screen on morlana and then we slowly got to know ferrix#three episodes in i feel like i didnt see enough of him#and it's going to be over so quick :(#andor spoilers#flythepost

Sometimes I think about how wild the workplace gossip at the ISB must be just, like, in general? Because sure, they’re ISB, but they’re human. You know they’re gossiping.
You know those immaculate white-gray halls have heard their fair share about who’s done what for whom to earn which promotion, and who’s having an affair, and who Partagaz’s favorites are even though they really don’t deserve it but I do and here’s why, and who goes out for drinks a little too frequently after work, and who has a stim pill problem. They’re being Imperial-uptight about it and everyone pretends it’s not happening because it’s not professional, but they are gossiping. You can’t sit around a table of people with whom you’re in direct, cutthroat competition every single day, suspicion boiling in every cold gaze, and not.
#syril x dedra#andor#syril karn#dedra meero#star wars#(I’m tagging this weird because I’m trying to get to the people who think about this as much as I do lmao)#but like#I imagine the attendants bear the brunt of this#you know Blevin got back from that meeting with Dedra and Partagaz and just *seethed*#and then the attendants gossip about their supervisors too#the worse they treat them the nastier the rumors are#I imagine Heert doesn’t partake in this initially#but I also imagine he won’t be overly thrilled by Dedra’s closeness with Syril because it threatens him#I just#the ISB fascinates me#the Empire does so much to strip humanity from the people it employs but it can be so sincerely human#like Dedra’s expression when she ‘fails’#or Blevin’s obvious anger when he loses the Morlana sector#for all the ‘we are cogs in a machine’ they do still show signs of inner life and humanity

syril karn might actually be the single most pathetic fictional character i've ever encountered
#constantly looks like he's either about to throw up or start crying#wants to be a good cop so bad he even went behind his boss's back when he told him to cover it up- because he Believes™️ in the empire or#whatever That Much- and then got even more of his own men killed than the criminal he was chasing originally did#got fired. only got a new job again because his mom who hates him called their rich influential relative. continues trying to investigate#his shit.#still looks like he's going to cry and throw up all the time#gets taken seriously ONCE and falls violently in love with the person who interrogated him because they Believe In The Same Things#like. i'm honestly impressed#i originally hated him and i still hate him but now i hate to love him#no one's doing it like him and by that i mean no one could possibly dream of being more of a loser than him#he has hella balls for a guy who probably saw dirt and hard work for the first time in his life when he was 30#star wars#andor#bluebird.txt#when people call fictional men pathetic....never taking them seriously again unless they're on par with him.
