Theme Reveal & Call for Contributors

Whatever Happens Now: A Melshian Zine is looking for contributors!

WHN is a non-profit fanzine dedicated to the Cassian Andor/Ruescott Melshi ship.

We are aiming for free digital PDF downloads to open in April 2025, through the platform Ko-fi.

THEME: Farewells and Reunions

In many languages, hello and goodbye are the same word. By the logic of the Star Wars franchise, Cassian and Melshi meet, say goodbye, and reunite over and over. Even if Andor S1 ended with them parting ways, we know they will reunite by S2. Even if S2 ends with them apart, we know they will be reunited by Rogue One.

The above description is just the mods’ thought process of coming up with the theme, please feel free to interpret it however you like!

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS

getting ready for life day on hoth (everyone lives au)

Rebels / Andor / Rogue One / OT

Cassian and Hera take command of the kitchen. Cassian has five things cooking simultaneously with no timers. He doesn’t believe in recipes. He measures ingredients with his heart. Hera recruits Ezra to help her because Ezra needs more cooking experience (instant noodles don’t count). She makes at least one dish from everyone’s homeworld.

Sabine is director of decorations. Her theme for this year’s decor is “shining light.” She does some creative electrical engineering to create a festive fire hazard light display. Mon Mothma was concerned about the power usage required for Sabine’s artistic vision, so Sabine came up with a new power rationing plan that made the base 6% more energy efficient. Now the showers are cold but the base is ✨radiant✨

Jyn volunteers to help put up Sabine’s festive lights despite being one of the shortest people on base. Cassian makes K2SO help too.

Kanan is in charge of holiday movie selection. His first few choices were vetoed by members of the Ghost crew: Ezra and Zeb hate cheesy romcoms, Sabine is creeped out by the animated classics, and Hera refuses to acknowledge that a particular action movie can also be a holiday movie. Kanan ends up making everyone watch the Life Day Special.

Chirrut and Baze go shopping. Chirrut buys ugly holiday sweaters for the Rogue One crew. He knows they’re ugly enough if Baze sighs disapprovingly at them.

Melshi is delighted to get his sweater and wears it unironically.

Luke experiences snow for the first time. He’s not happy about it. Han is tired of hearing his complaints, including “I didn’t expect it to be so wet” and “why is it on my eyelashes” and “how was I supposed to know that my tongue would get stuck to the ice.”

C3PO slips on an icy patch and falls over. R2 approaches to provide assistance but loses traction and slides into a wall.

Ezra abandons snow shoveling duty and initiates a snowball fight outside the hangar. Kallus and Zeb team up against him. Luke, Leia, and Han join in, and it becomes a battle between the force users and the non-force users. Ezra and Luke win by causing a small avalanche of snow that Ezra has to shovel later.

Bodhi makes hot cocoa with Jedhan spices acquired by Han.

For Life Day Dinner, the base splits into a few groups:

Kids table - includes Ezra, Sabine, Luke, Wedge, Bodhi, Nemik

Responsible Adults table - includes Kanan, Hera, Ahsoka, Rex*, Cassian, Jyn*, Melshi, Leia, Mon, Vel, Cinta*

Cool Adults table - includes Zeb, Kallus, Baze, Chirrut, Han, Chewie

*started at the responsible adult table but migrated to the cool adult table because they had better alcohol

Vel and Cinta each bake cookies and compete over whose are more popular. Neither of them are very good at baking though.

Leia takes a nap. Han stands guard outside her quarters and doesn’t let anyone disturb her.

Chopper, being the menace that he is, sets off fireworks.

happy holidays :)

I’m a sucker for ships where Person A is damaged and Person B is their salvation, and when you look closer, you find that Person B is damaged, as well, just in a less obvious/volatile way, and Person A is their salvation right back.

thinking about being in first grade, overhearing the word “pathetic”, misunderstanding it as a compliment, going up to my ‘boyfriend’ and saying “you’re sooooo pathetic ☺️ you’re the most pathetic man on earth ☺️ i’m gonna start calling you mr. pathetic man from now on ☺️” while twirling my hair

Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.
