woke:

the Empire needed Deep Substrate Foliated Kalkite as the power source for the Death Star

broke:

Galen Erso needed Deep Substrate Foliated Kalkite as a distraction to delay the Death Star

snoke:

Orson Krennic needed Deep Substrate Foliated Kalkite as a treat. he likes to crunch the Kalkite like pop rocks!

All other things aside, it is so corny for a man who has worked on Jason Bourne films to have such strong opinions about not just fanfiction but shipping like don’t you have better things to do??? Imagine Chris Nolan having any sort of opinion about shipping, enough to seemingly engineer a work around attempting to make sure it’s not happening.

What a weirdo, truly.

Andorposting with Krennic?

You are misunderstanding WHY people are justifiably upset by this ending for Bix. We are talking about the shocking common and incredibly outdated trope called Someone to Remember Him By. TV Tropes goes on to say the following:

It's generally considered very romantic, even in historical settings where a single mother can be expected to have a hard time of it (especially during wartime; even if he didn't die in the war itself—or at all—she can say he did), on top of all her other problems. Unsurprisingly, it is assumed in these circumstances that Babies Make Everything Better.

Please note the sarcasm here.

Bix Caleen herself is not weak and I don’t believe you when you say everyone is saying so. Tony Gilroy and co wrote her an ending that neutralized her as a character, reducing her most important act of agency this season to a tired trope that’s been done to death in media and in Star Wars.

It doesn’t feel beautiful, it doesn’t feel hopeful, it feels like another box ticked off of the “what stereotypes about women can we dump on this specific character this season?”

(SPOILER)

People are really conflicted about Bix having a child with Cassian. And honestly it IS conflicting.

I think we've just seen it one too many times that a female character who was strong, who was a warrior of some kind end up as a mother and a wife, and that is sometimes almost insulting to the character.

But I don't know, I think it's a sad thought that being a mother makes you a different woman, one who suddenly isn't strong and a warrior? Don't get me wrong it can absolutely be written in that way, but I'm unsure if that's the angle for Bix. I don't even think it was meant to set up some sort of legacy for Andor, if Tony Gilroy doesn't like the skywalker saga, he won't create his own, I don't think.

I think it was more so just meant to be symbolic. Children symbolize peace, freedom, a sign that everything will be okay.

And I think THAT'S what this scene is supposed to show us. It's supposed to show us that Bix will be okay, that she will have her small family and finally have peace. They couldn't show us the future directly, but they could show us a glimpse.

Speculative season 2 posting because I am being plagued with Melshi thoughts:

Melshi gets arrested as part of wider/disparate rebellion activities (pirate radio Melshi PLEASE)

Because of the arrest, the PreMor blaster that Cassian gave him at the end of Ep11 is run through a system check

Cue ISB involvement

This is probably below Dedras pay grade (assuming no demotion after the Rix Road catastrophe) but they send Ghorst in for interrogation purposes

But, there is a lay period between when Ghorst can get there and oh wouldn’t you know they’ve got electrified floors in the cells

“Who the fuck is Cassian Andor”/“oh shit that’s Keef Girgo”

Cassian & Bix are trying to get the other arrestees out for unrelated reasons

One of those people is Ham/another Narkina 5 survivor

Also has an “oh shit Keef Girgo” moment but tells them that they took Melshi for further questioning

Oh no Ghorst has arrived

It’s okay Bix gets to blast his brains out (or put him in the torture machine and leave it turned on whatever floats your fancy)

Melshian 30 minute sex scene in the U-Wing (K2 is making sarcastic remarks)

sorry but bix should’ve killed that thing

i love that our hyperfixations have synced up twice now lol

it's been an honour reblogging andor things by your side 🫡 i hope we survive this long-fated night

i am so so horrified but at least i'm not going through it alone 🫶🏻 we have to suffer together. i wonder where our next hyperfixations will take us?? either way i hope to see u there!

also, while im Andor-posting: the way the show has depicted how vitally important an organizer of a revolution like Luthen is, while also showcasing how toxic and corroding secrecy and betrayal is to that organizer and to the revolution as a whole. Like someone who plans covert operations should not become a policymaker afterwards! If the only way you can perceive the world is in enemies and potential betrayals/weapons, you lose the ability to see the world as full of constructive possibilities and connections.

the way Cassian hugs people is so anxiety-inducing to me. he does it like this is the last time he'll ever see these people and he's trying to commit this moment to his memory. like he's hanging on to his life on this hug. it scares me (positively).

[caitlin-circuit]

the fact that they never had plans to include “rebellions are built on hope” until somebody’s r1-pilled teenage child said “when are you gonna include the most important line from the film?”

[gender-luster]

i lied. one (1) more andorposting for the night.

[4lbon]

Bury your gays trope was so painfully predictable there. Saw it coming a mile away but jfc

[nocturius8015ficore]

A bit of Andorposting 🤷

[david-lanndlord]

immediate unfiltered andorposting following the drop of s2 ep1-3, i literally finished watching ep 3 five minutes ago

1st thought: AAAAAAAAAAA

2nd thought: this son of a bitch did it again. there was leftist jungle infighting and toxic displays of unimaginable wealth and illegal refugee farm workers in space saskatchewan and the most stressful spaceship malfunctions known to man and the most vomit-inducing mutually supportive (evil femdom?) fascist power couple and horrifically tragic yet utterly banal major character death and matrilineal dysfunction the likes of which the world has never before seen at the underage child wedding and I WILL NEVER RECOVER. tony gilroy when i GET you

3rd thought: I'm gonna need to let this percolate over the course of days and weeks and I will be vibrating until the next set of episodes drops but... just, The Patriarchy of it all. The fact that I knew as soon as that horrible officer approached Bix what he was going to try to do. Mon's helplessness and complicity in what's happening to her daughter, speaking up too late and then being completely undone by her coldness reflected back at her. jesus christ.

anyway I will be freaking out into the wee hours now. god bless

I lied, here’s another Andorpost because I’m fuckin Andorbrained atm.

The Maya Pei Brigade incident ties in with the Ghorman front plotline. Not just in the parallels between the MPB and Ghorman Front being inexperienced, but in how the incident influenced Cassian’s decision to caution them against their plan.

Cassian immediately clocked the Ghorman Front guys as amateurs, and the only thing he could probably think of were those poor idiots starving in the jungle and trying to kill each other, and he doesn’t want to see a promising rebel asset destroy itself. Unfortunately, many of us know how this ends.

Luthen at this point is in a hurry, he’s acting more recklessly, and is unknowingly playing into the Empire’s hands in enabling them. Or, more insidiously, he’s counting on their inexperience leading to a massacre that would force the Galaxy to recognize the Empire’s evil. It hurts to consider the implications that come with either, but this is gonna be a wild ride either way.
