Vel and Kleya - Kleya and Vel -should we be shipping them?

Probably not, but it just works really well and who is to stop me? Disney? The Puritans? A strange man on the Internet whom I do not know? I don't particularly care for the opinion of either of those, so lets just say - fuck it and go. So, 5 reasons it might not be canon, but no less fun despite that minor inconvenience.

5.) "This is what revolution looks like, Vel."

It looks really fucking good, especially in that outfit.

There is something in the whole concept of Kleya interfering with a transmission aimed at Luthen as the hot blonde from the Aldhani heist is kicking up cloud. Not only that she took that job of the dressing down upon herself, in order to "spare" Luthen and scare some sense of hierarchy into the privileged Chandrilan, but the way she did it.

This is a character who spends most of her time in her hot space nun dress, even going as far as attending a wedding in it, but for this - her closet is suddenly much deeper. Those skin tight thights, the crimson jacket and the boots that make you blush just thinking about them. It is quite the outfit she put together for a secret meeting with a troublesome rebel spy. Do we think Nemik or Lonni would have gotten those boots? Would Cassian have qualified for those tights? But Vel - Vel get the whole outfit with flawless hair and makeup.

It's television so I know this level of characterisation isn't there, it's style and not substance. This was picked out by a wardrobe department doing a mighty fine job. But in-Universe the implication is still that this is what Kleya picked out of her wardrobe to go see Vel. It's the kind of outfit that goes hard at swinging between "fuck you" and "fuck me". She clearly wanted to make an impression on Vel and I'm not sure if the character herself knew if it was meant to scare Vel straight (ha!) or rouse her libido. But either way she obviously wanted to leave a lasting impression on Vel's retina. And that - that is a real good starting point for you to get freaky with canon. Especially when the scene itself provides enough fire between them to make you wonder what else exists behind their words.

STAR WARS: ANDOR | Characters

First & Last episode

(2/2)

[wayhaughtn7]

Star Wars Rebels and Andor both begin in 5 BBY but are aimed at two different audiences and even if they weren't it's entirely realistic to expect that even in dark times like the Empire there's going to be silly light-hearted days for our heroes

All this to say it's kinda funny to imagine that while Andy Serkis was giving a rousing speech to prisoners to rebel against a fascist gulag system building a nuclear weapon, somewhere across the galaxy some punk-ass street rat who always calls himself Jabba the Hutt is trying to corral a herd of panicked pigs that literally turn into giant balloons when they get scared

I just finished reading The Mask of Fear and after Andor it’s made Mon Mothma one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. Andor on its own made her more interesting, but The Mask of Fear makes her so much more compelling.

The fact that she was arrested in the aftermath of the formation of the Empire and held in a metal room she couldn’t even sit down in, with a possible concussion, for 30 hours without food, drink, or even a restroom break all because she signed the Treaty of 2,000 is insane. No wonder she was on anxiety medication and a lot of her mannerisms in situations where she’s not fully comfortable in Andor make a lot more sense. The book made me really glad she didn’t lose Vel in Andor because I can’t imagine she would have been the same after losing her cousin after having already lost her daughter and having turned down the opportunity to be with someone she might truly have loved.

The ending of the book makes her working with Luthen make a lot more sense because she doesn’t really trust Bail or Saw to do what needs to be done in a way that will actually make a difference and despite killing someone and nearly killing herself in the process she doesn’t really trust herself to do it either. She needed Luthen to do what she couldn’t and what she didn’t fully trust anyone else to do either. I could read a dozen more books on Mon Mothma.

I’ve played a lot of games that have intimate moments of various kinds of intimacy between characters, it’s a big reason why I play those type of games to begin with, and usually I feel like I’m the main character in the scene so I never wonder whether or not it’s a moment I should be in. In fact, I’ve never even thought twice about seeing those more intimate moments in a game until the hair cutting scene in Tape 2 of Lost Records. That scene is the most intimate and vulnerable moment I’ve ever experienced in a video game. It actually makes me feel like I’m intruding on a private moment between two people that wasn’t meant to be seen by others. It’s a wild feeling to have when it’s a scene in a video game that we’re clearly meant to see. The fact that the scene made me feel that way is a credit to the writers and devs of Lost Records for making the characters and the emotions feel so real that it elicited a feeling of being a bit of a voyeur.

The only thing that has ever come close to making me feel the way the hair cutting scene made me feel was the scene with Judy in Cyberpunk 2077 where you experience her memories.
