lately I've been feeling like the dislike for Andor as a show has morphed into dislike for Cassian himself as a character, and it just makes this fandom not very fun to be in. the bitter resentment for him is thinly veiled but palpable, and it's exhausting. (not to mention sad because there doesn't seem to be much appreciation left for Rogue One's Cassian, and it almost feels like he was erased from existence but I digress) it makes me question if I'm even having fun anymore which is the last thing I want.
so I'm gonna ask explicitly: Cassian antis and Jyn antis do not interact, and yes, that goes for BOTH of them.

New Falcon hc that’s rotting out my brain:
Because he’s obviously not meant to be Jesus 2.0 being a mortal and all, the belt’s power sometimes overwhelms his body, especially when he first gets the belt. He gets random intense hot flashes, nausea, fatigue, dizzy spells, and sometimes (only on rare occasions) straight up passes out. Since he’s lived and worked completely alone for years, he’s not one to ask for help from anyone, no matter now adamant Stewart is for Falcon to come and talk to him and let him help whenever he has an issue or something that’s bothering him. Instead of messaging Stewart or James to let them know that he’s not feeling good, he opts to try to deal with it himself by just laying down on cold tile or just trying to sleep it off. It pretty much never works though, and Stewart always notices that something is off (I mean I would too if I came home and my partner was just laying in the middle of the bathroom/kitchen/laundry tile floor). Stewart and James have to coax Falcon off of the floor or out of bed so they can help run him a cold bath and/or help him take off his racing suit and change him into something light that doesn’t overwhelm him. Falcon always feels like he’s being babied and that he’s a grown adult and he can handle it but Stewart always scolds him for thinking like that and has to remind him that they’re in this together and neither himself nor James mind taking care of him.

And we have reached the fourth part of this sordid tale: a list and kind of analysis of every time mint is mentioned in conjunction with gansey in trk because i still think too much about this (all the other posts for those interested: post one, two, and three)
the first time we encounter this in trk is a fair bit into the book when noah tries to dig out blue’s eye
“Suddenly, hands gripped her shoulders, wrenching her away from him. She was surrounded by warmth and mint. Gansey held her so tightly that she could feel him trembling against her. The hum was everywhere. She could feel it in her burning face as Gansey twisted to put himself between her and the buzzing fury that was Noah.”
(and once again gansey is mint) (also adding this while editing, he still consumes mint on such a regular basis that he still smells very strongly of it) (edit two: he is warmth to her and i think this is lovely, yes i'm aware it could also be a physical warmth but let me have this)
the second time is after gansey gives adam the “don’t break ronan” talk
“They looked out the window again. Gansey took a mint leaf out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. The feeling of magic that he had felt at the beginning of the night was even more pronounced. Everything was possible, good and bad.”
(he obviously felt anxious and out of his depth during this talk, he doesn’t want to fight with adam and he knows that he’s not good with words. also, he’s worried about ronan. they’re still in the middle of the post matthew-and-declan-leaving-so-they’re-not-killed-by-this-fucking-demon party. everything about this is a perfect cocktail to manifest some mental issues he doesn’t want to “bother” other people with. and so: mint leaf) (as far as methods of self soothing go it's not the worst but i wish he would just talk to his friends and let them help him instead of doing the gansey thing and just wishing that his love be returned)
Third time:
“Gansey had been here before — seven years and some change. Impossibly, it had been for another Congressional fund-raiser. Gansey remembered that he had been excited to go. Washington, D.C., in the summer was airless and close, its inhabitants reluctant hostages, bags over their heads. Although the Ganseys had just taken an overseas trip to visit mint farms in Punjab (a political trip that Gansey still didn’t fully understand the purpose of), the travel had only served to make the youngest Gansey more restless.”
(foreshadowing that only comes into play after the events have transpired? in this series? well i’ll be damned)
the fourth time mint is mentioned is when ronan is fighting the demon. one could argue that this isn’t in fact in conjunction with gansey but one could also be wrong. Ronan’s dream battles and dreams have always been filled with metaphors and shit so the mint being there while gansey is talking about his sacrifice (sacrificing his life) literally just a few feet away is not a coincidence.
“The demon kept pulling him unconscious, and in those short bursts of blackness, the dreamer snatched at light, and when he swam back to consciousness, he thrust the dream into reality. He shaped them into flapping creatures and earthbound stars and flaming crowns and golden notes that sang by themselves and mint leaves scattered across the blood-streaked pavement and scraps of paper with jagged handwriting on them: Unguibus et rostro.”
(so much analysis could be pulled from this. Tempted to one day make a big doc analysing all of ronan’s big metaphorical dreams and dreamthings and dream battles)
We also know from blue’s vision of their first kiss that he smelled like mint during it. There isn’t much more to say than what has already been said
The fifth and last time mint is ever mentioned in conjunction with gansey is just noah reflecting over his murder at his end
“Sometimes he got caught on a loop of constantly understanding that he had been murdered, and rage made him smash things in Ronan’s room or kick the mint pot off Gansey’s desk or punch in a pane of glass on the stairs up to the apartment.”
(i don’t know if the mint pot and the mint plants are supposed to be different things) (also i want so bad to do an analysis of noah goddamn)
