Roland was incredibly pleased that Cassian had, in fact, taken him up on his suggestion to come to Krovs for an extended vacation of sorts. They'd been chatting not long ago and while the dragon had complained about the plastic surgery business, Roland had mentioned that perhaps he should take a break and come here. The vampire enjoyed being surrounded by friends and Cassian tended to give him the best kind of attention given how long they'd known each other. It was only fitting that he should have the younger man to his suite shortly after his arrival, especially since his house hadn't been prepared on time and he was staying in some kind of hotel. That would hardly do. Given that Roland had a free evening it only made sense to entertain the old friend he hadn't seen in person in a couple decades. Of course he'd told Cassian he'd have to check in with the guards and have them escort him to the councilmen's residential wing but those were all just details.

Drinks poured to be ready for when Cassian arrived, Roland was settled in a chair to wait, idly scrolling through his phone when the knock came at the door. He called for the dragon to come in and tucked the phone away, smiling as he watched the other man enter. He gave him a moment to take in the surroundings before he pushed himself up and glided over to him. "Bienvenue. Good to see the stress of your American endeavors hasn't aged you too badly." He teased, his smile widening as he reached up to press cool fingertips against non-existent worry lines in Cassian's forehead, letting his touch linger for a long moment before he slid it away slowly. "Do come in and make yourself comfortable. There's a drink on the table for you. I take it you haven't changed your preference in the last couple decades?"

"come on, pretty girl," teased cassian, knowing what he had suggested was possibly mad. after all, he knew that she was not like the other girls that he had dated. in fact, she was the exact opposite and that was why he was so determined to keep her. he could see the wheels turning in her head at his suggestion," you know that i won't let them do anything more than look," he promised," just want to make everyone jealous knowing you're mine, my perfect fucking girl, what do you say?" he normally refused to beg but he was possibly willing to do so. especially if she said yes to what he had asked.

[ofnobilites]

It was always fun talking to him, more entertaining than she'd expected when she first met him. Sarya had assumed he would be more cold. his reputation was impressive and they had no doubt that he was willing to do things. But Cassian Hightower had a heart. One he didn't want anyone else to see but if he didn't, the woman wouldn't cause him to bat an eye.

"Of course I do, which is why I'm glad there's nothing interesting in here." People were getting far less interesting, predictable. They'd not have stayed here and waited for him if he was boring. "What does one have to do, to get information about you? I can dig around, I already have of course but what are you willing to share?"

The things this man could do if he was able to turn that heart off. Dreams were made of it. At least theirs were.

"Do they call for Corwyn? Or do they simply wish for someone else?" Tapping her chin Sarya thought about the outcome of this. "If they wish for Corwyn then the options are limited. If they want someone to care for them? That my lord we can fix, the love for the queen is gone. I'll trust you not pretend to care for her for my sake." If he did she may have to call off any plans she'd been hoping to make with him. "How easily can these people be turned?"

The corners of their lips twitched upwards, "Well then you have just become my favorite person." Leaning forward Sarya gave him a wide smile, "My cousin's friend is visiting the city. He's not really a fan of mine so if he sees me he'll find a way to leave. But a lord with a friendly face and a drink he'd be more than happy to listen to."

cassian bit down on his bottom lip thoughtfully for a second as he shrugged off his cloak, tossing it onto his bed. he then took a seat beside it so he and the mistress of whispers were at eye level.

"i'd argue it's less fun to leave one's secrets out in the open for anybody to read. only those that truly deserve to know them should have the honor of obtaining them, don't you agree?"

he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his hands clasped together. he wore faded leather gloves cut at the knuckles to allow ease of use of his fingers. it also didn't hide just how dirty his fingers were after a night out.

"it's good you stopped by, actually. per our last conversation, i did get a name for you. a start. loris son of thom, a merchant from the street of looms. imports fabric. or did, at least. not too happy about the state of trade in king's landing these days and has been vocalizing his support in, as i heard it, an end to the disaster that is the cunt visenya." he chuckled. "got a little crowd of followers, too. mostly other merchants. might be worth looking into though."

he shrugged his shoulders and then looked down at his hands for a moment.

"my lady, it's an honor you think my hands were ever clean. but even for one such as myself, there are certain grimes i prefer to avoid. that being said, is there a mess that needs to be cleaned?"

[dreamsuvivor]

Can somebody explain to me like I’m 5 why tf didn’t Feyre at least try to shapeshift into her Illyrian form when she was literally on death’s doorstep during labour?

We get that vague explanation at the beginning of the book about the shapeshifting and using of magic possibly not being good for the baby. But when both her and Rhys are about to die, shouldn’t you at least try it? What is the worst that can happen? they’ll die? well they are about to anyway, so why not try it, at least?

And also side note: How did Cassian survived getting gutted, but fae women die during c-sections?!

Spoilers for Andor Season 2 (with pictures)

Okay I just watched episode 9 of Andor season 2 and I simply cannot neglect my duties any longer. I would not be a star wars blog if I did not put to writing the pure ECSTACY I felt watching this arc. The season's previous arcs have been exceptional, but this one has been PHENOMENAL. I mean COMPELLING. My ass has been sat for damn near three hours, thinking, contemplating, considering everything I was watching unfold in front of me. I watch A LOT of TV, and if you ask me what I think are objectively some of the best shows ever (some are even my favourites) Andor will be up there. Whether you are a Star Wars fan or not, this show has something for you. Season one blew me away in all regards-- "One Way Out" is still in my top 5 list of the best episodes of all time, "Welcome to the Rebellion" is now creeping up on its seat. I am going to go IN DEPTH on my favourite aspects, and break down some scenes and imagery because I'm a nerd, so I will hide it behind a break so that those who do not care, or do not want spoilers, can keep scrolling

Mon Mothma's character, development, story is honestly my favorite arc in the show. I have been ON MY KNEES for her since season 1 (and really long before that). Her arc in S2 1-3 was no exception, and added to one of the more personal plotlines explored in the series. In season one we see her make the ultimate sacrifice for the rebellion- her daughter. And as a result we are rewarded with this incredible piece of imagery:

Which in case you already aren't aware of the significance of this image I insist you examine the Rebellion logo below (shoutout to Sabine). Picture the flanking pillars on the side as the edges of the semi circle and Mon as the center "pillar".

I have been thoroughly obsessed with this still since season one, so you can imagine my eyes have been peeled this season for more imagery, and I am probably reaching here but I found an interesting pattern with Cassian (keep in mind, I had to scroll a lot to find these images so I might have missed something in episodes 1-6, if I did, please please please reblog and show me so I can loose more sleep).

In episodes 7-9 of season two Cassian is based out of Yavin, and coincidentally his house has a circular door. So I was on the edge of my seat, watching tentatively WAITING for a similar setup for him. But I noticed a pattern, whenever he is framed for a proper position to replicate the logo he is sharing the space with someone.

Like here where he is sharing it with Bix and Wilmon. Also in this scene, he is the first the leave.

I was getting frustrated at this point because they kept getting close and I was on the edge of my seat. The next opportunity, and I was SO sure this would be it, Wilmon is missing, but Bix remains, forcing the frame to widen him out of position and show like this

WE EVEN HAVE THE TREES POSITIONED AS PILLARS THIS TIME

Now you can probably guess where I'm going with this. Now that Bix is gone, I believe there is a much higher chance he will get center screen, and his "official-unofficial" Rebellion badge. It is all I want please Tony Gilroy. I will owe you for the rest of my life If you just give me the cinematic experience of this framing one more time!!!

But moving on to my next topic- Ghorman vs Ferrix

I probably don't need to like draw it out for everyone, because this was way more obvious messaging. I felt distraught for Cassian who essentially had to witness Ferrix all over again, only on Ghorman... they lose. It's like an insight into what COULD have been. The Ghorman genocide draws a lot more attention to background characters deaths to emphasize the fact that this is a LOSS, whereas in my season 1 rewatch I notice that there is less (but still some) emphasis on civilian death. Other parallels include the catalytic throwing of the bomb, the singing as a means of choral rebellion. The site of the massacre occurs in a grave/memorial in both locations (Ferrix the wall, Ghorman the memorial plaza). In Ghorman, the imperials were given the go-ahead to shoot to kill, while on Ferrix, they were asked to bring in Andor alive, causing some hesitancy to be the first man pulling the trigger. I'm sure there are so many more people who will add, but off the top of my head, these are what I could recall.

Episode 8 also shows us the death of one of our main characters Syril. He has been with us since season one and I'm sure he will be missed. I think the interpretation of his character will be extremely varied among fans, but my general understanding is this; Syril was not willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals, and for that reason he died... morally grey. On the other hand, Dedra was willing to set aside literally everything, albeit reluctantly. Watching her breakdown and repeatedly slip through the first two episodes was endearing and captivating. It's almost like beneath everything is a woman who just wanted to prove herself. Regardless, I don't think this is the end for her, I think it's the beginning (and thus, I also really want a frame of her imitating the imperial symbol to add to my collection). But back to Syril, I chose two images that sum up his character ambitions. He is selfish in every sense of the word, but he is also weak.

On the top we have Syril choking Dedra. At first this seemed out of character, but we have to remember that while Dedra was locked up in her Hightower, devoid of any Ghorman notion, Syril was not. I can totally see how he would get frustrated and lash out at her. I also got the sense this wasn't the first time, based on her reaction. But that is purely speculation. In season 1 Syril could not hold his own whatsoever, he WAS the battle-avoiding officer, who was humbled greatly at his first combat exposure. It's clear that since his demotion he has gotten used to being a soldier, being expendable. So now it is his turn to show the elite that real power comes from the people, and not the elite. It's interesting because he could have prevented Ghorman, or at least delayed it in this moment, but he has never truly overcome his doubt and weakness, a point that is solidified when he loses to Cassian and the Ghorman rebels. Although I wouldn't consider Syril redeemed, I think it's fair to say that he tried. Given more time, he might have finally learned how to use a blaster.

OKAYYY back to Mon because I'm not done with the senate. Bullet points first;

Shout out to Bail Organa, I love this man, and I would die for him. I appreciate that they went for the subtle recast, no unnecessary CGI budget. The actor was phenomenal and embodied the character well. Great chemistry with Genevieve.

Mon absolutely losing it at her daughter's wedding was one of the most tragic things I have ever witnessed on screen, and keep in mind this happened simultaneously with Brasso's death (RIP Brasso, if I had the energy I would give him more screen time). Watching the ceremony was harrowing for multiple reasons: the first, being that they were literal children. Child marriage. The second, is that it was COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Leida CHOSE to do that, even after Mon gave her an out. I felt her pain in my chest, when Mon tried to have a civil, loving conversation with her daughter and Leida practically spat in her face. If Anakin was going to kill any kids it should have been her sorry not sorry. But I can't imagine what it is like to watch your child voluntarily participate in the same thing that traumatized and radicalized you. To add to that, the only person from her past she still trusted, maybe even loved (platonic or otherwise) was murdered by the man who was her closest ally. I simply just envy her strength, and I could talk about that wedding scene for hours. For now, I'll leave it with one more note, and that is: I was acutely aware of the braid-cutting symbolism. This is definitely me reaching again, but we know that Jedi braids are a symbol of growth, knowledge, acquired wisdom, and age. So seeing in the universe a normally sacred thing be cut and discarded was a little jarring. It represents an abandonment of all those things. (I am once again reinforcing the head cannon that Leia fills the role of her daughter once she joins the rebellion because Mon deserves to be a good mom to somebody.)

Last week Mon Mothma's arc was sidelined a bit for the sake of some other things, but this week we finally got the bigger picture. Making Cassian the agent that brought her to the rebellion and saved her life was just genius. An incredible way of tying the story together and FINALLY placing the main characters in the same setting. I almost can't believe we have three more episodes to go, because episode 9 felt like a finale. I didn't think I would be fed so well, let alone given DESSERT next week. Her speech about the abyss... jaw breaking. Her and Bail thwarting the system to make it happen? Fucking incredible. The ESPIONAGE of Andor sneaking into the senate and out of the senate with a WANTED senator by-- let I remind you alllll the way back to season 1 episode 3 "pretending you belong there". Her reactions to the deaths of the "bad guys", especially Kloris who she had known betrayed her the moment he showed up. She expresses empathy, even to her enemies. This messaging is something that was reinforced in the Ghorman episodes prior: "There is nothing to save if we give up what makes us Ghorman" (or something similar). It's also a massive wake-up call to her, that the rebellion is MESSY. She had been lucky thus far, to avoid associated bloodshed. But she is struck with the realization that this will be her life now and forever, unless the empire is defeated. Tears roll down her cheeks and she expresses how scared she is, but like everyone else she puts her trust in Cassian, and our boy "always pulls through".

Last things I want to squeal about "Rebellions are built on hope"

I don't need to explain. And if you are confused, wait till next week and go watch Rogue One ASA you finish episode 12 thank me later.

Live, laugh, love Saw Gerrara screen time. He is freaking me out a bit, but I am intrigued.

K2SO ORIGIN BABY LETS GOOOOO. Still one of my favourite droids in the franchise, and I hope to GOD he gets at least a little screen time next week.

Incorporating Krennic is an incredible decision. I have no notes on this, other than I think someone needs to die via asphyxiation while trying to achieve their goals (Dedra perhaps)

Now do I have predictions for the finale???

Yeah. Unfortunately, most of them are tragic. I think we will be saying farewell to a large assortment of characters next week, most prominently Wilmon and Luthen. I just think that Andor has to lose his last connection to Ferrix in order to truly become endowed to the rebellion. I don't think Wilmon will die, but I can see him siding with Saw in a heated argument and parting ways. Luthen has been and always will be a mystery. At one point, I thought they might explore his character more, like his premise is certainly interesting: how does a random shopkeep in Coruscant become the underground leader of the rebellion?

I don't know, and I don't think we ever will. The kyber he wears around his neck may point to an explanation, but to be honest, I think he probably stole it. Andor and Mothma will agree that Luthen must step out of the shadows or leave, and Luthen will leave. Then probably die. Rumbles on Kleya and potentially Vel dying as well, but for Mon's sake I hope not. Those are the only people she has left, and I don't think I could stomach watching her say goodbye to Vel. Kleya is less important, but I am emotionally attached to her for some reason. I think I like that she is a good balance between Luthen's dogma and Mon's morale.

Last but certainly not least, I truly, from the bottom of my heart, anticipate that episode 12 will end at the start of Rogue one. I think Tony is gonna go back to the source material, and much like Rogue One did with episode 4, I think he will do it again. Do I think we will get a Jyn Erso cameo? Not a significant one, I think it's more likely we see Andor heading to the meeting point, or being introduced to his next mission.

If you read for this long, I seriously thank and appreciate you. Slide into the DMs my friends, if you want to talk about Andor, or anything Star Wars at the moment. I'm certain I will have another novel-length dissertation next week (probably written in all caps). If I don't, please check on me, my anemic ass is prone to fainting under pressure and if Gilroy keeps cooking my bp may not be able to handle it.

Cheers, and may the force be with you.

[screamiingsiilence]

it had been some time since he had actually blacked out from drinking. mostly because he thought he was past that point in his life. everything was a bit fuzzy but he was trying his best to put the pieces together. at that point nothing was working out so he opted to focus on his savior. he shrugged since he wasn't too sure what he was supposed to say," i clearly decided to curl up with a bottle of jack last night." something that he regretted but there was no way of turning back the clock.

he was willing to let her lead him across the apartment. her place seemed nice, better than his own. cassian nodded when she introduced herself," sorry about that," he paused," nice to meet you and i'm cassian." he was unsure about what she was doing as she pulled out some clothes. it seemed that she had produced a pair of sweats that were clearly men's and a t-shirt. he instantly wondered if she had a boyfriend but he knew it wasn't likely. otherwise she probably wouldn't have taken him home and let him pass out on her bed. he reached out to take the clothes, nodding," thank you," he took a deep breath," for everything and i could eat." he had the feeling he should eat with the way his stomach was turning. he opted to head into the bathroom in order to change since he doubted she wanted to see him in all his glory.

Lilith hadn't meant to bring this man home to the studio apartment above her little lingerie boutique. She definitely hadn't meant to fall asleep next to him when she was laying there worried about him rolling over and choking on his own vomit. The plum-haired designer had been locking up for the night when he'd stumbled by. "You really don't remember?" Her voice was soft, laced with concern. "C'mon, let's get you cleaned up."

Nodding toward the bathroom as she walked back across her room in the oversized t-shirt that covered her daisy dukes. "I'm Lilith and I was trying to help you get home, but when I told you to sit on the sofa while I went to grab my charger so we could get your phone working you followed me and fell asleep. I meant to stay up and make sure you were okay, but I guess I fell asleep around four." Her doe eyes studied him shyly before turning back toward her dresser, pulling open the bottom drawer and digging out a t-shirt Taney had left and sweatpants that had to have been Knox's. "If you want to change out of those, you could probably fit in my siblings clothes." She left it on the edge of the bed with a tentative smile. "You hungry?"

closed starter for @cassianlord based on this

If Roland had to change bodies with anyone, he certainly didn't mind being in his youngest fledgling's. He knew this body intimately well, after all, and was not overly bothered by the idea of Gwyn in his where he must be. They would have to run into each other like this, of course, but Roland was aware that Gwyn had been spending quite a lot of time with a certain dragon they were both fond of. It would be both a test to see how well he could pretend to be Gwyn and an interesting experiment to see how Cassian responded to him like this. Roland was also curious about what Cassie might have been hit with during this chaotic event.

Rather than walk or glide in his usual poised manner, Roland skipped in Gwyn's body, figuring it would be rather more in character for his fledgling. He threw in an occasional twirl just for fun. Roland had a slightly higher perspective on everything, given the few inches Gwyn had on him, but was overall slighter. He still felt powerful, of course, just in a slightly different way. He had a feeling he would miss his fangs though he'd already drawn out the claws a few times just to see how it felt.

It didn't take long to skip his way to Cassian, grinning broadly as he did and came to a graceful halt in front of him. "There you are, darling! How've you done with all this chaos? Hit with anything interesting? Or something fun you want to try out?" He leaned close, slipping a hand along the dragon's side. Roland and Gwyn were both tactile and both liked to talk so it wasn't too hard to act like him, though he had to consciously try and change up his speech a little. Gwyn's eyes glittered with delight and mischief but that was also very much in character.
