Luthen sacrificing an entire FACTION of the disjointed rebellion to ensure ONE spy's continued position, & him KNOWING what a thankless decision that is, him KNOWING that if the truth ever got out, even fellow Rebels would hate him & dismiss him.
50 men for one spy.

All the different types of fascists and fascist enablers on display in Andor and all of them being equally reprehensible and equally functional as tools of the Empire’s atrocities… Dedra, the gaslight gatekeep girlboss who has worked her way up through the ranks of military intelligence through her cleverness and grit, despite the bias and obstacles facing her. Karn, the blue lives matter, ben shapiro-ass renegade cop from a working class background who desperately wants a seat at the table. The nameless politicians at Mon Mothma’s parties, who discuss whether or not to support useless legislative bills against empire-wide repression while sipping thousand-credit champagne. The “I’d like to hang him” prefect on Ferrix whose desire to wield power over others at every possible opportunity manifests in the cruelest and most visible forms of oppression. The prison guards and the prisoners who protect their system. The civilians like Timm who make small-scale fascist goals achievable with insider information. Again and again and again we see how every person within a fascist regime who is not actively moving against it becomes a cog in their system. And I hope you’re all paying attention because some of you need to hear it.

cassian andor general romance hcs
word count: 994
warnings: none, just a miniscule reference to sex
message from the authors: first post on the account! love that for us. we both (okay just me, fine - grace) went a little feral writing these, enjoy the show! (i was moral support for grace and additional idea giver, hope u love! - rosa)
ok so! i think cass is very easily scared off when it comes to this kind of thing: love. he’s skittish when he’s unsure, and although romantic dalliances aren’t new to him, approaching a situation where he’s not privy to if you reciprocate or even if you ever could, is new to him. he’s always been the one in control of the dynamic, or at the very least an equal, with both participants on the same page (or thereabouts, see him and bix i suppose.)
the man seems a lil avoidant, like he’s just wary of people in general so i'm not so sure how well he’d respond to hearing from a third party that you had a crush on him, whether that be a close friend of yours or an unfamiliar group of fellow rebels. he’d immediately feel like expectations were being pushed onto him and people were anticipating him to react in a certain way. he doesn’t like that, it feels like someone's yanked open the curtains that were obscuring him from the bright light of perception? so even though he returns your feelings for sure, he’s not going to react well to that kind of direct address/situation and would most likely pull away from you in an attempt to take back the control he feels he’s lost.
in the end i think if one of you were to make a move to further the relationship, it would have to be him because he doesn’t like feeling caught off guard or put on the spot. even then, he’s definitely not confessing the true extent of his fondness for you (even though it totally consumes him, this is a man that feels deeply, just look at those eyes babe). 
cassian is someone who expresses their love through actions and deeds, not so much words, at least not immediately, that’s a little too vulnerable for him at the moment.
let's be honest, his version of getting the message across to you is patting you on the shoulder and telling you “that’s really good” as he oversees your group’s blaster training. like the affection is there and you totally get free passes where others don’t, but overall there’s really nothing concrete to suggest he thinks of you as anything other than a friendly comrade, which is probably how he likes it for now.
again, addressing it head on either by yourself or having another person plant the notion into his mind is not the way to go about this. he’s like a stray animal, you see him from across the street and desperately want to pull him close and love up on him, but even the most careful approach will have him skirting away from you in a flash after one wrong move.
honestly the only way to go about this i think is to just let him do his own thing, find a quiet and subtle way let him know you’re open and will be waiting with open arms, and he’ll come to you eventually. i’d say he’d come to you in his own time, and I wouldn't be lying but let's be honest, that first really meaningful look (see elevator scene in rogue one 😩) and pleading of your name is going to come in a moment of high-stakes and danger. what can I say, there's nothing like a life threatening situation in which either one or both of your lives are in jeopardy and desperation and stress infect every decision made, to provoke a momentary lapse in resolve and allow some painfully concealed concern and devotion to seep out of one's every orifice <3.
then there’s the subject of his name. obviously he introduces himself as cassian (unless he’s undercover but that’s a whole other can of worms, you’d get there in the end), so you’ve not really any reason to suspect otherwise until you pose an innocent question about the origins of his name, which leads him to hesitantly surrender his birth name to you. this is only something he’d ever consider doing if he truly, deeply trusted you and felt ready to open up even just a little bit. again, it’s all in his own time, there’s no pushing cassian. psst, don’t be afraid of using his real name, he’ll answer to it…just pick the right moments iykyk
when on missions, clashes tend to happen. cassian believes he knows best (and maybe he does. he probably does lets be fr we’re dumbos), so you’ll every now and again notice him speaking for you or making decisions on your behalf. obviously as an independent entity, this will most likely get on your nerves so it’s an issue that’ll have to be addressed in a sit down session with him. he honestly doesn’t mean it in a controlling way, he probably sees it as him relieving you of any unnecessary burdens, so you’ll have to make it clear to him you’d appreciate it if he lets you stand on your own 2 feet and would, well… for a lack of a better phrase, ‘just butt out’. at the end of the day, you’d rather be equals, partners in crime, not so much some micromanaged talent. come on, it’s understandable cass.
just for funsies... he’s probably unbuttoned his shirt a little more than necessary at least once. just to see if you’d respond to it. he’d seen the style begin to take off amongst the more cocksure pilots (that’s what he tried to tell himself. it was really just fueled by a shy desire to have you look at him like that, like the rebel full of swagger that he knows he isn't). it lasted a grand total of 12 hours before he caught a glimpse of his reflection and cringed a little bit, vanity be damned. the next time you saw him, his shirt was buttoned back up all the way again and he will never acknowledge the fact ever again.

HUGO ANDORE from STREET FIGHTER
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JUSTIFICATION:
"1.) don't you realize how cool it would be to have a woman who's a butch lesbian speaking like a japanese delinquent (in japanese)/a burly, deep voiced german wrestler
2.) hanging around poison or even the mad gear gang by proxy would have you question your gender after not too long
3.) something about her in general is so nonbinary transfem butch lesbian specifically. to me
4.) i really want to show other trans people that sometimes girls can just be large burly and big like hugo and it's not bad to be that way
5.) if she transitioned she'd look like her mother and she would be so happy about that because she really loves her mama" - @sunkern-plus

I think I object to the hc that Melshi would just do anything Cassian asked of him. it’s explained behind the scenes as not wanting to drag him around Ferrix where he doesn’t really have a role to play, but the show did give him agency by having him suggest they split up, even if staying together would’ve been the more comfortable option.
(maybe intentionally, this also mirrors the strategy on Scarif—divide and conquer, “make ten men feel like a hundred.” with him and Cassian (possibly) being the only N5 survivors, they’re forced into speaking out on behalf of many more people than themselves.)
but back to the point, there isn’t really any suggestion that he always only follows Cassian’s command. he’s characterized as a good leader in other material, apparently so much so that this is part of the excuse to have him replace Sefla as commander. even if the other reason given is that he trusts Cassian, and vice versa, trust doesn’t indicate a blind loyalty. loyalty, yes. but more so in a “united by the cause” kind of way. this would probably be compounded by the fact that they’re still shouldering the injustice done at Narkina 5 together. the series gives a reason for them having a close bond when they didn’t need to, and it’s the only one we’ve seen so far that we know is maintained through Rogue One. but what we also know is that he makes his own decisions. I mean. Melshi was nothing else if not an independent thinker during the episodes in the prison
obviously there’s still another season of material but pivoting to “he does whatever Cassian says” is out of character for the guy

Karrde's Fandom Friday Rec #3 (11/18/22)
I had to include this Mon Mothma's Wife AU headcanons and art by @journen. The backstory created for them is incredible, the art is stunning, and it's what Mon Mothma deserves because her husband is a class-A douchebag in the show. If this idea winds up getting fleshed out more (totally no pressure @journen), I will absolutely inhale any and all crumbs like a Hoover vacuum. They are EVERYTHING to me.
P.S. I know you're knocking the idea around of making her tall, and if I get a vote, LET HER BE TALL. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

your love is sunlight
some headcanons and observations I have about them are below ❤ I’ve mentioned some on my IG stories, but this is the first time I’ve compiled them:
(spoilers up to: s1.11)
spoilers up to: s1.11:
I think Kleya calling their gallery “home” (”you should come home”) wasn’t code for anything, they both consider the gallery - and each other - their home ❤.
I personally hc Luthen as bi, demi; Kleya as bisexual.
I think Luthen was married/was in a relationship with someone in the past. “I share my dreams with ghosts” implies they’re gone. if the partner was a woman, I think Kleya reminds him of her.
when Kleya says “sending messages is just as dangerous as receiving them,” this doesn’t apply to messages they send each other. in ep. 11, the first thing she does after Vel tells her Luthen left is call him (albeit in coded language).
they don’t carry comlinks with them, so whenever they go out they’ll have no idea if something happened to each other. lots of welcome back/”I was so worried about you” hugs are probably exchanged.
I think the reason Luthen doesn’t tell Kleya where he’s going most of the time is because he knows she’ll: 1) stop him ; 2) insist on going with him; 3) ask to go in his place. she ends up staying up for him a lot, and when he comes back he lends her his jacket.
they both know Vel and Cinta are together. however, Vel and Cinta are willing to take the risks that comes with being in a relationship while fighting for the Rebellion, while Kleya and Luthen are not. Kleya because she seems more risk adverse than Luthen (“you don’t like anything”); Luthen because he perceives himself as a “coward” - this extends to relationships also.
Luthen appears to be someone who is willing to sacrifice people if it’s a calculated risk, but this doesn’t apply to Kleya. he will probably sacrifice himself or literally anyone else but her.
they immediately get worried when the other doesn’t answer for an extended period of time (Luthen in ep. 8; Kleya in ep. 11)
Kleya knows she’s closer to Luthen more than anyone, so she was pretty affected when Vel called her out for using “we” in ep. 11, after not knowing where he went. there’s this realization that despite her knowing him better than Vel does, it’s not that much better. which can be hurtful if they’ve known each other for a long time.
so far, the few times we see Luthen acting vulnerable is around Kleya: when he’s visibly nervous; (”I don’t like seeing you nervous”), doubting himself over Aldhani (”am I insane?”), and the emphasis on “I’m not slipping”, which he said twice.
we see them physically getting closer to each other in the gallery. in ep. 5, they’re talking from opposite ends of the backroom. in ep. 9, we see Luthen walking over to her as the conversation goes on, and in ep. 11, Kleya starts doing the same thing.
thanks for reading! I really love this show so far and as you can tell, I have my favorites, lol. my art and these notes are in no way meant to persuade anyone to ship them, it’s all just self indulgent.

1, 10, 12 and 24 for our grumpy captain of the rebellion Cassian? Thank you in advance!
I mean sure but be prepared for some angst cjefjdsj
Tumblr media
1) Something this character is truly proud of: Pride and Cassian have a rather . . . complex relationship. Personally, he likes to think that he’s above that sort of arrogance, though he does unfortunately fall prey to the notion that he’s above others whom he personally deems aren’t “doing their part” in the time of war. After all, even though he’s a very “the ends justify the means” kind of guy, Cassian recognizes that he’s not exactly the nicest person. He’s had to do some pretty messed up stuff in the name of the Rebellion, things he sees as necessary but may deep down come to feel sickly over.
Not that he would let any of that show, of course.
Because at the end of the day, the one thing Cassian constantly holds a candle for is the fact that he’s spent so much of his life fighting for something bigger than himself. Of course, there were periods where he was just going through the motions, times even when he wanted nothing more than to run away from it all. But he’d quickly snap out of that because where could he even run to? Where was there some he could go that was free from the clutches of the Empire? Where could he go where his guilt over abandoning his people wouldn’t find him?
There simply wasn’t. And for a good while, he would feel ashamed for ever having thought of such treason against his crew, only for that to quickly be banished when he gazed upon the tired but determined faces of the Rebellion.
Some of them belonged to those who had been fighting longer than he’d been able to talk. Others were still young, still clinging to a hope that they might know what a galaxy without war looked like. Cassian had to uphold the image of determination, just as he had for all these years as he climbed the ranks.
There wasn’t much that a man like Cassian Andor had to his name. But if there was one thing he could keep with him, it was the knowledge that he was involved in something so massive that only a feeble mind would forget what all was there.
10) How they deal with pain: Oh, Cassian just Does Not, plain and simple. He takes all his pain (physical, mental, and emotional) and represses it like he’s a walking bottle of Daruvvian champagne. He’s been doing it for years and doesn’t plan on weening himself off that mechanism, predominately because he doesn’t see it as an issue. Never mind that it’s extraordinarily unhealthy, likely part of a vicious cycle of trauma, and just adding on to his ever-growing feelings of exhaustion and apathy.
Mon Mothma is, of course, constantly worried and gently tries to mind him about these tendencies but there’s really only so much she can do: How Cassian handles his personal issues is his own problem and unless they’re directly effecting his ability to enact protocol and missions, or are negatively affecting others on a drastic scale, there’s no real easy way to intervene. Not that there’s exactly a whole slew of professional mental help available on a Rebel base. (After all, medical droids can only provide so much help.)
Honestly, it takes the near-death experience on Scarif for Cassian to start opening up more – and it’s unfortunately due to everything crashing down on him, the weight of years of suppression finally becoming too much to bear.
Of course, he doesn’t exactly leap at the opportunity to expel these festering feelings. If anything, he initially is colder now more than ever, insisting that taking it easy even after something so traumatic would just slow them all down “when [they’re] already so close to the end”. Depending on how hard he insists, Mon might actually have to put her foot down and demand that he take time off to at least recover physically.
It would likely be during this recovery time that the visits with droids (and perhaps even a more humanoid specialist) that Cassian would slip in admissions of his thoughts and feelings between questions regarding his wounds. And not just his feelings as of recent – things that had been floating around in the muck of his mind since his youth: Concerns about himself and the future, his fears, his anxieties, how the heat of Scarif still burns at him when he tries to rest. How he was so used to the sound of blaster fire that it used to be white noise – until Scarif.
Part of him doesn’t like admitting these things. But the other part of him doesn’t care: He has to let go of this debris before it drags him in so deep that it would be as though he never left Scarif.
Is he certain he’ll ever leave the sandy beaches of Scarif? He doesn’t know. Isn’t sure he wants to know. But until then, he can’t help but give in to how his chest feels when he admits to the infirmary attendant that in last night’s dream, he didn’t make it off the planet.
It has nothing to do with the healing wound located on his abdomen.
12) How they sleep:
Unless you’re a high-ranking official within the Imperial Forces, there’s a very low likelihood you have what could be considered a decent sleep schedule, let alone sleeping space. Suffice to say, Cassian is like most who’ve gotten themselves involved in the war: He can and will sleep anywhere at any time if necessary. When he’s back on base, of course, there are quarters designated for resting. But sometimes even then he doesn’t make it to his cot: If need be, he will simply sleep in the hangar on his own ship. Wherever he can fit that is out of the way, time permitting, he’s going to find rest.
If he does get to sleep in his own bed, however, he’s very stiff. A back-rester. He really only winds up on his side if he’s had a particularly rough time getting to sleep. That being said, his expression is perhaps the most jarring feature of his: It’s calm for once, but Cassian’s features simultaneously look younger and older.
He looks younger because he’s not trying to force that cold countenance into place, not trying to put on this air of indifference with a devil-may-care attitude. But at the same time, because he’s not fighting back his worries and concerns, the lines that age and weariness carve into the face surface on his skin. The wear of the war blooms to the surface, making him appear somewhat paler with a hint of a furrowed brow. A more romantic-minded Rebel might come upon him and liken him to a sleeping prince . . .
Of course, this disappears the moment he wakes up and can recollect himself, forcing everything into tiptop shape worthy of a captain.
24) What they wish they could change about themselves: What do people think of when they think of Cassian Andor? Some picture a pretty face and a cold heart. Others think of bravery to the point of foolhardiness. The more merciful, however, tend to associate the man with confidence. Captain may not be the highest of ranks, but to rise to the position by one’s mid-twenties wasn’t anything to sniff at, after all: One needed to have plenty of strength to carry around that type of qualifying brass.
This does not mean, however, that there weren’t things Cassian wished he could improve upon.
Unfortunately, these things tended to be oriented around his emotions. More specifically, the ones he felt made him vulnerable. Cassian had never considered himself to be the most emotionally-driven person, even as a child, but why would he want to risk even that much? War was no place for things like berserker tears or savage cries, as often as he found himself laying in his cot at night with the backs of his eyes burning and his throat constricting with need. There were people that depended in the Rebellion, depended on him – he couldn’t let his own personal wants and needs get in the way of that. That would be selfish and, above all else, infinitely stupid.
For Cassian, the ends (no matter how ugly or brutal) justified the means. So if bottling everything he has inside was what it took to get just one step in the right direction, then he would do it.
. . . And then Scarif happened. Boy, did Scarif happen . . .
And for as much as the memories of bombs going off, of blaster fire surrounding him, of a blinding ray hurdling towards the beach rippled throughout his mind, the quiet it left him with was just as jarring. Deafening, almost.
The infirmary wing wasn’t necessarily quiet, per se, but it was nothing when compared to all he’d endured within the span of a few days. Even the bustle of the outside was preferable to this: Just lying there amongst the wounded and those who had been induced into comas to ease their healing process. Amongst the beeping of machinery and droids, the muttering amongst staff, there was just quiet. And Cassian wasn’t used to quiet.
He didn’t even think Jedha had left him with anything but disappointment but even when he managed to still his thoughts about the tropical paradise, memories of the desert moon were right there waiting for him.
Maker, was he always this tired? He didn’t know. And he dreaded to search inward for the answer; he’d gone inward plenty of times already these past few days, and he wasn’t sure he liked what he’d found: Fear, uncertainty, dread, exhaustion. Things a Cassian from the week previous would’ve scoffed at, denied ever feeling, would’ve just put aside before flying off into a storm of TIE-fighter blasts.
But when the Cassian of that moment couldn’t hop into his ship, couldn’t even excuse himself from the bed without medical personnel permission, it forced him to accept that, yes, these things were a part of him. And as much as he wanted to fight back, he just . . . couldn’t.
Maker. Maker, he was so fucking tired. Of this, of everything. And yet, he still wanted for something. Just not this.
It was quiet inside of him, probably the size of a pebble. A seed, really.
He wanted to be at peace with himself. He just wanted to sleep, to heal, to be better than he was before. Not for the sake of his peers (at least, not them alone), but for himself for once. Feeling like this – it didn’t feel filthy, but it did leave him feeling drained. How much of himself had been burned in the process of trying to keep everything down? Once again, he didn’t want to venture inside to know that. It was painful enough to come upon that kernel of acceptance, that he saw himself as broken.
It would take some time – more than he would have preferred, of course – but it would eventually click with Cassian that he was never broken; just human. Not a reprogrammed droid, not just a soldier, but a thinking and feeling human, vulnerabilities and all.
Thank you so much for your patience on this!!!

media dreams of late include:
dreaming there was a 3.5 hr video bootleg of good men wanted, ft. akd of course. didn't get to see it b/c 99.9% of the time if i dream there's something to watch in video format that's how it goes. but it's just as frequently something i go "oh fuck yes" about
vague dream plot element of being one of an implicit network of people helping cassian my friend cassian (andor...) by providing obfuscated backup for whatever subterfuge like well of course :) (rare but not unheard of [media one day leads to a dream that night] but not even the night/s after i was watching andor, the night after i came back and talked all about doing so)

Hardcore Star Wars fans, I come to yall as a hardcore jojo bizarre adventure to ask why tf do some y’all think like this? Like I took a lil hiatus from the jojo fandom for a couple years and spent a year in the Star Wars fandom and I still cannot comprehend the mentality behind this.
Does anybody have any explanations? Has there been a discussion on this yet?
Tumblr media
One thing about Jojo is every Part is wildly different from the other so I have no idea how one could think this. To me, it’s like saying “Jojolion isn’t a bad manga, but it’s bad for Star Wars” I’m confused dawg
