Leonardo y Ezio... If you Care...

[ilerua]

"If you look at Cassian and Maarva in the first season, she teaches Cassian about love. When he says, “I’ll be worried about you all the time,” she says, “That’s just love.” But nobody has ever told Dedra what love is, or what it means when you look at a person and you’re happy for them. In 205, when she says, “It’s good to see you happy,” she doesn’t say it in a way that’s like, “Oh, it’s so good to see you happy!” She [coolly] says, “It’s good to see you happy,” and she doesn’t know what that is doing. So Syril being the person that she sends into Ghorman and uses like that is what makes her feel bad about that whole Ghorman situation. It’s not really the massacre, unfortunately. It’s not that she sees that she’s wiped out all these people; it’s that she’s lost Syril." - Denise Gough

ANDOR S02E08 Who Are You?

[ilerua]

sleeping on the job, again.

[ilerua]

List of things in Andor that absolutely snatched my weave fucking Star Wars Disney let be in Andor:

Attempted rape.

Visceral and realistic police brutality.

A meaningful queer relationship.

A none-insignificant amount of blood and violence.

Implied drug abuse.

Imperial characters that were very real people-- and not just British cartoon villians.

Pointed depictions of bureaucratic laziness and incompetence.

Consistent, coherent, well rationed Marxist, socialist, anarchist, and revolutionary theory and philosophy.

A realistic depiction of the practicalities and morally compromising nature of fighting a totalitarian regime. The degree of physical, emotional, and spiritual sacrifice that actually goes into it.

Genocide.

Genocide being called explicitly genocide.

Prison abolitionism.

A fancy white woman forced to sacrifice her daughter for the cause drunkenly dancing her feelings away like the queen she is.

"Make it stop, make it stop."

Weaponized old lady brick being a highlight kickass moment.

Several characters fates being left hauntingly ambiguous.

"Work visa."

A care to squeeze in these strangely humanizing moments-- like Luthen taking a moment to get into his Antique Dealer headspace in season 1, or Cassian taking the time to water plants he likely never had a chance to return to in the final episode.

Andor Appreciation Day 2 - Everyone Has Their Own Rebellion

@andorappreciation

[ilerua]

It’s here. The speech:

Fellow Senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries, I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I’ve spent my life in this chamber. I came here as a child. And as I look around me now I realise I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival… and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these many years, I believe I have served my constituents honourably and upheld our code of conduct. This chamber is a cauldron of opinions and we’ve certainly all had our patience and tenors tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This Chamber’s hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman Plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday on Ghorman was unprovoked genocide. Yes! Genocide! And that truth has been exiled from this Chamber! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we’ve helped create? The monster who will come for us all soon enough is Emperor Palpatine.
