Do you ever see a fanart and go... "I just killed that man" because I just did.

[buckybarnesss]

yeah yeah jedi and sith anakin skywalker is the chosen one luke gets the money shot on the death star ahsoka tano is a bad bitch and ezra’s cool

but have you considered

cassian andor is one of the most pivotal people in the entire fucking saga and he’s got nothing to do with any of the overreaching cosmic, galaxy shaking force bullshit (despite the force repeatedly trying to slide into his dm’s).

it is so critically important to me that he’s just some guy and yet he is The Guy.

[astromechs]

the thing that the sub cassian takes get wrong is that they do not take into account that him taking such a role in a d/s dynamic would mean allowing someone to take care of him and accepting this as a thing to happen, which, like. that's not going to happen without both an unprecedented level of trust in someone and a metric fuckton of personal development on his part.

What do you think Rhys is referring to when he said Nesta is an Illyrian at heart in acofas? He says it’s a compliment but then he says that because of that, there is no excuse for her behavior. Is the behavior he is referring to how she treated Feyre? What would being an Illyrian at heart have to do with that?? It’s just something I was confused on while rereading acofas.

Note: I read these books more than 1.5 years ago and only reread the first book in February so I don't have enough evidence and what I'm saying is from what I remember. If anyone has a better answer to this I would love to hear it. My opinion is based on my own understanding so you don't have to agree<3

This is a very interesting question, one that I've never paid attention to before and it's the first time I noticed, because all this time I thought Rhysand meant she has a warrior soul, and later on, she got an Illyrian mate and now is warrior/Valkyrie. And it still can be interpreted as such but like I said I forgot in what context he said it, so I read that scene again:

And it reminded me of this scene:

People obviously got mad at this and told Mor to "get off her high horse" but they never bothered to stop and think why would she say it in the first place and what impression Nesta gave, for her to reach this conclusion.

The first time Mor and Nesta talk in acowar, Mor tries to be hospitable toward her and make friends with her. That's her personality, she did the same with Feyre as well.

But Nesta, instead of not saying anything at all if she's not in the mood for friendship, decides to question Mor's choice of dress. (in my vocabulary this is called sl*t shaming. Nesta was shaming Mor for her choice of dress) Now who also shamed Mor for her choice of lifestyle? Her father, Keir, who lives in the Court of Nightmare. She lived the first few years of her life there as well and she knows how those people are.

I also want to point to this scene at how CoN treat the women:

I know a while back people were "criticizing" Rhys for dressing Feyre like a "wh*re" (???) and asking why he got mad when Keir called her that... I'm not even gonna bother to prove how wrong and far from canon is but... I, personally, don't go around, looking people up and down and shaming them for the choice of their dress. A woman can be naked and I wouldn't call her *names* but ig that's just me... continuing:

Mor sees Nesta's behavior and the first thing she probably thinks of, is how her family treated her and still does. And from that stage of the book we don't see her being nice to Nesta at all. Nesta triggered something in her and that changed her opinion of her for the rest of the series.

Now Mor's reaction to Nesta is quite similar to Rhys'.

When Feyre asks why he's ok with Elain and not Nesta, he answers "Elain is Elain." Because she doesn't trigger anything for him. She just exists in his house and doesn't bother him or more importantly, his mate. On the other hand, he has witnessed how Nesta treats Feyre and his brother. How she's verbally abusing them.

And if you noticed Rhys was just like Mor when he met Nesta, He was polite. Because he had no reason not to be. But that changed the moment Nesta showed how she act towards Feyre.

I don't have any text evidence of this because I couldn't find it but I remember how Rhys said he was never respected among Illyrians. They're afraid of him and cowards, yes but he has heard the names they call him. They couldn't physically hurt him but they never stopped verbally expressing their feeling toward him. He was bullied by them. They called him "bastard" and "half-breed".

See, Nesta behaved toward both Rhys and Mor, the same way the people they hate so much and have bad memories of, did. Nesta reminds them of the people who gave them these traumas. Rhys hates Illyrians and Mor hates CoN citizens. I just realized both Rhys and Feyre have the same childhood trauma... God, they really are the same person lmao

So when Rhys says Nesta is an Illyrian and there's no excuse for her actions, it's because he sees Illyrians as hateful and full of rage creatures and there's no reason behind why they behave the way they do. And let's be honest that's how Nesta showed herself. I know some people will say he didn't understand and YES he didn't!! It's not his job to know what's wrong with her. The opposite can be said about her sisters and mate that they should've guessed but that's debatable. It's why later on we see how Nesta is full of anger and hatred and why she's the way she is because she explained it herself, we were in her pov and got to understand her.

And him saying "it's a compliment" can means that he can see some good in them, like his brothers. His mother and sister. He just hates their culture, their mindset that he's been trying to change for centuries and I think Nesta reminded him so much of them. That's why what he said is contrary of each other.

Anyway I think this is the only explanation because I don't see any other conclusion as to why he said that. But like I said if you have other things to add or disagree I would love to hear your thoughts. Sorry if I got carried away with Mor, I wanted to show the similarity in these two situations and have an example to explain better :D

Thank you anon for trusting me to answer your question lol I tried to answer as best as I could, I hope it helped with the confusion<33

Em's Jane because i can and i'm not taking any responsibility of this musical being my hyperfixation lately and my friends have awakaned in me an unstoppable urge to post my art, i'm literally struggling so yeah

Since 2022 is almost done, here are some games and TV shows that I watched this year.  This was the year where I got heavily back into TV vs. gaming, specifically obsessing over the show Severance which was completely up my alley and I loved it so much.  Definitely looking forward to a ton of games next year, and I’m especially stoked for Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.  Here’s to 2023 and thank you guys for your continued support of this silly fanart blog! 

[moprocrastinates]

um was anyone gonna tell me Nemik’s manifesto is on Cassian’s blue parka FUNKO pop or was i just gonna have to find that out myself

[a-couple-of-notes]

Okay but the frustrating part of Andor is that I know it's good, I am happy it's good, and I am aware that that is a net positive for Rogue One and Star Wars in general - but I can't help but think that this will skew so many discussions of Jyn and Cassian's relationship (and, to an extent, Rogue One as a whole) to just be about how Andor reframes Cassian's feelings/actions. Like there's so much Cassian content now that Jyn will get lost.

And yeah, I know that's a little irrational, and no fault of the show at all. I also think it's very fun to talk about how Andor reframes our understanding of Cassian! But Jyn's so interesting in her own right. I wanna talk to people about how "her line about people not sticking around when things go bad is even MORE meaningful than it was before" and "now Jyn's bitterness toward the rebellion/Cassian makes so much more sense" because I don't think we talk about the fact that Cassian wasn't the only child soldier in that ship NEARLY enough

I guess I'm just saying - Jyn deserves her own show.

[lost-in-men-of-letters-bunker]

I kept seeing it all over booktok and as a fantasy lover I've had friends try to convince me to read it for a while and I finally caved and I read A Court of Thorns and Rose and I flew through that first book so fast and I'm currently reading A Court of Mist and Fury now. I've been roped into another fandom and I'm not mad about it. 🤣

[astromechs]

anyway i believe in what i wrote and somewhere in the past, jyn and bix have, in fact, had a string of messy hookups

Closed Starter - @fragmcntedsouls (Cassian)

"So you and that Gabi chick," Oaklee muses, a questioning undertone to her words as she plops down beside him on his couch, feet lifting to rest atop the coffee table. "That serious or...? Cause boy if you make another fumble I swear I might actually have to cut you off from the dating scene."

[bumpscosity]

star tours update officially adding peridia ahsoka cassian and mando + grogu. if you even care.

[separatist-apologist]

Scottish Cassian part 1 is finished and what I like about it is the ending lulls you into a false sense of "oh they're gonna be mature about things" and then ✨surprise✨

Happy Andor release day! Here’s some quotes from a 2004 interview between Diego Luna (Cassian Andor) and Stellan Skarsgård (Luthen Rael) which I think should be preserved for all of history

[unproduciblesmackdown]

and i draw parallels solely on the cinematographic basis of “when my man is no more than a millimeter away from perturbation at all times but you give the Whole Right Half Of The Screen 3/4 Closeup of Harrowing Recontextualizations” like that’s right. we’re living it up
