new possible aspect of extended andor-erso family Dynamics include galen and lyra’s protracted awkward divorce (it starts to happen the moment that jyn is out of the house, either age, like, 6 or 18 you can decide) where galen for whom she’s like he only real human connection to the Outside World is like *this is Fine* *opens vodka bottle* meanwhile lyra keeps talking about living her Best Life. she’s actually finishing her geology master’s degree that got put on pause by galen, galen’s career, and jyn. she’s invested in a bunch of new-age hippy sweaters and scented candles and taken up hot yoga. she’s got the space!joy of sex and assorted manuals on the female orgasm sitting up on the bookshelf with all her baking books. she goes hillwalking for weeks at a time. she keeps bringing her collection of nubile younger lovers ‘round to family events and they are all her age or younger, which is to say, at least eleven years younger than galen

#the whole lyra through andor lens thing kind of struck me and then it got me thinking about all the mess IN the erso family dynamics like #lyra and galen got married at like 21 i think and he is ELEVEN years older than her #like 21 and 32 are just. an insane difference in age in particular ways #and they're just so badly matched politically and interest wise IMHO like. it clearly was a Hot Sex Meeting of the Minds were they were like #you are soooo into science and also sexy!#but like we got a guy who's part of the imperial regime #and a girl who literally puts one of the most radical anti imperial leaders of armed resistance down as the Next of Kin for care of her #child #also jyn has got to be up there with declan lynch for characters that are soooo obviously like. you were an accident #i think jyn is so interesting as someone who is so clearly just kind of fit around the shape of larger adult things #of her parents lives. they might say they do everything For Jyn but like. do they REALLY? galen especially #she's just kind of this presence around their lives and that's sort of what she is in a meta way for the whole story #lyra erso #jyn erso #galen erso #i just believe. divorce. divorce is sooo funny #you know what i said about jyn and cassian's wedding having luthen and saw the Divorced Couple #trying to start another leftist schism?#it's also got galen erso and lyra and lyra's pilates instructor she's having a sexy affair with #canonically too lyra had jyn at 23 which makes her #only 18 years younger than cassian which is an Interesting Dynamic but also means that if she decided to date farther down the line... even #more awkward. for everyone involved.#wait i think you've got some funky new stuff in here too with the fact that lyra is only 23 years older than jyn #whereas although irl fiona shaw isn't that much older than diego i get the vibe from the show #that maarva is supposed to be like #forty five fifty years older. assuming he's 26 acc'd canon when she dies and she's like late 70's to 80's when she dies #idk. there's also this potential for a massive age difference there in terms of i do not think lyra and maarva really get along
