I'm seeing too many people be wayyy too reactive to some people's critiques of how the show is handling Cassian and yeah I get it because most of the criticism of the show has been dumb and xenophobic and racist and so I understand why people may be protective (fuck I'm protective of Cassian and the show) but let's not act like this isn't a deviation from Cassian Andor's characterization in Rogue One. Let's cut the shit and acknowledge that this is a change and a subversion of expectations, whether you like it or not. I'm tired of saying it at this point but since I guess people don't understand that many of us are not actually looking for him to be some perfect rebel soldier white knight, we want the grit and the mess and a lot of what the show is doing but not necessarily in this way.
I think it's just a matter of rejecting the premise they're presenting. I just don't love how it's all about showing Cassian things he should already know?
I don't think it's a matter of poor writing or not understanding where they're going or what the path is going to be - I get what they're doing, they're doing it superbly. I just don't agree with the premise that Cassian has to learn that revolution is good. I don't think that's appropriate for this particular character given what he says in Rogue One about his lifelong fight to a former child soldier. I think it's inconsistent with the intention of the film, to call out people who are for whatever reason sitting the revolution out (even if it's for trauma and exhaustion like it is for Jyn).
I feel like some people who are confused about why people are critiquing this choice by the showrunner and by the writers maybe don't get what we're saying. like guys I swear I understand what they're doing. it's effective - they're saying what they need to say in an intelligent grown way without talking down to the audience. I like that and I think that's why the show is so damn good. I repeat, I think it's the best show on TV. Period.
I know Cassian will grow into being the Cassian in Rogue One. Of course he will and I am sure it will be well done and satisfying and I hope they win fucking awards and praise and get hyped the fuck up. But I don't get why we are starting out with a Cassian who lives in relative comfort (although why he's living on a ship and not in the home he has with Maarva that seems relatively nice for the area I have suspicions but idk) compared to the girl who at the moment is LITERALLY HOMELESS because the cause abandoned her.
She was raised and radicalized by Saw Gerrera. That's her father, she's a fucking weapon - and her story is more appropriate for someone who has had to stay away from the organized cause for trauma reasons but is doing little important acts of Rebellion on her own (which she does). Wanna talk about personal acts of Rebellion? It works better through Jyn, someone who could choose Rebellion but who it wouldn't be forced on.
Whereas Cassian, as the show keeps saying, does not have the option to keep his eyes closed to fascism. So how did he do it from 16-21? And how can he - who has to know that Saw raised Jyn and therefore knows she was a child soldier if not that she was left behind - tell her that he has been in the fight since he was six???
It's inconsistent and believe me I've tried to make it work with Rogue One's characterization of Cassian but idk. How much clearer did he have to be? I'm sorry I don't think that's just headcanon of stans run amok. Trust me I want cassian to be messy and human and raw.
I am not being unfair, I know the show will take its time getting there and I love that! But the starting point feels wrong. It always has.
The intention of Cassian was as a mirror and a foil to Jyn. A mirror to Jyn because they both have a need to destroy the empire. A foil because while Jyn has been running from her true calling, Cassian has been fighting for revolution the whole time.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishitic"
