Which Rogue One characters should make an appearance in Andor Season 2 ?

^ Orson Krennic. Would be so great if we got a scene with him and… Partagaz? Dedra?!

Casting spoilers and speculation below…

Apart from Cassian, Mon, Melshi and Saw, we now know that K2SO is making his chronological debut, and we’re getting more Krennic. General Draven - Cassian’s commanding officer - can also be glimpsed in the D23 leaked trailer. Mads Mikkelsen is appearing at Star Wars Celebration 2025, fuelling speculation that Galen Erso might be in Season 2.

^ The wonderful Mads Mikkelsen as Galen Erso. I remember whimpering with joy when I first saw he was in this film.

My own point of view? I love Rogue One but I prefer Andor if forced to choose (though I’m excited by Diego Luna’s repeated assertions that after season 2, it will be like watching a completely different film ) and for that reason I don’t want any less screen time for my season 1 favourites. Especially those who I think still have a lot of growth/story to come: Syril, Mon, Bix and Vel. But seeing as the final arc happens merely days before Rogue One begins - and the final scene will literally be Cassian departing for the Ring of Kafrene to meet Tivik the informant - it makes sense for Tony Gilroy to enhance the links to the film.

There are some characters who I would like to see and some who it would make sense to be there. Bail Organa perhaps - he’s clearly known to Mon. Mon even knows about his links to Obi-Wan (“your friend - the Jedi”). He would be a good character to have at least in the background, as an explanation for an increasing awareness of the Force (even in an unlikely character such as Cassian) . Maybe. Not essential though, and I wouldn’t be fussed either way.

The characters who make most sense to me and who I would really like to see : Tivik and - IF we’re getting Galen - Bodhi Rook. Tivik because Cassian clearly knows him and has met him before. An appearance by him – especially if we see the sister that Cassian and Jyn were supposed to be meeting with on Jedha - could add a lot of weight to the scene where… Cassian is forced to off him. You know, deliberately depriving a sister of her brother and all that. What with his own history. And there goes another little sliver of his soul…(This is one of the scenes that Tony Gilroy added in the reshoots in order to enhance the sacrifice theme.)

^ Alas, poor Tivik. With that great big red flag of a wounded arm . Among the all-time greats of “Characters who were unceremoniously shot dead by Cassian Andor”.

I love the film, but the opening 20 minutes or so is pretty confusing and fast moving and we’re given no explanation about why Galen trusted Bodhi enough to give him the hologram message for Saw. This is my biggest personal wish. I would really love to see a scene between Galen and Bodhi. To find out a bit more about this relationship and how it was built up. Bodhi obviously has a great deal of affection and respect for Galen. It doesn’t need to be much or long, but I think it would really enhance the film.

Bodhi Rook - arguably Rogue One’s least developed main character. Could Andor’s final arc do something about that?

Jyn Erso? With apologies to my Rebelcaptain-loving friends, I can’t realistically imagine a scene where Cassian is staring at her hologram image, simply because that wouldn’t happen before the Rogue One Tivik scene - the Alliance only then start looking for her as a possible way to track down Galen and gain safe access to Saw. But there is a hope that she might pop up at least as a mention in any Galen and Bodhi scene, or perhaps via Saw - who looked after her all those years. Maybe even Luthen knows about her in some way from that time.

^ Jyn Erso - might we get a mention or even a glimpse?

For the same reason, I don’t think we’ll see anything of Baze or Chirrut - it makes sense for their first appearance to be in the film.

One more wishlist request from me. Bor Gullet. The alien who works for Saw as a mind-reader. I would really like a little backstory there. No, really. I’m fascinated. (Might Bor even be retconned as a surviving Dizonite?!)

^ Bor Gullet will know your thoughts! The unfortunate side-effect is that one tends to lose one’s mind.. (though not for very long, apparently!)

Over to you. Re-blog or comment with your wish list.

I have a feeling we’re going to love you all over again, K2!

Rogue One Costume Contest - Round One

Who shows up to the Halloween party in a better costume?

[jaqobis]

sometimes i remember all over again that tivik was headed back to jedha and even if he'd survived and gotten off kafrene somehow he would've been dead by death star in a couple of days anyway

[atomiccollectionanchorme]

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) directed by Gareth Edwards

Wots all this then?

[andorerso]

I'll be real, I don't think it makes much sense for Cassian to only start looking into Jyn after the meeting with Tivik. I mean yes, the timeline of Rogue One in general isn't 100% clear, but Cassian has already known about Galen when Tivik mentioned his name to him, which leads me to believe they already had some kind of intel about Project Stardust and that Galen was involved in it. which in turn makes me think they were likely already looking at Jyn as a possible mark. not to mention that Bodhi was already on Jedha when the meeting with Tivik happened, and since I don't think that much time passed between that and Jyn and Cassian going to Jedha, Jyn had to have been rescued from Wobani around the same time. and honestly, I don't think Cassian could have put together her file and found her that quickly.

is it possible? technically yes. but I find it far more believable that Jyn was already in the picture when the Kafrene meeting happened.

there's also this from the novelization:

they know about Galen. they know about Saw. there's no reason they wouldn't already be looking into Jyn, the girl who connects them both. just as a precaution - even if they aren't yet sure she's important.

Andor Season 2 Second Trailer

I love how the poster incorporates more Rogue One characters and locations.

Yet again, Andor Season 2 continues to have me hyped. I like the use of the Imperial alarm sounds since it reminds me of how the Rogue One teaser trailer used an Imperial alarm sound to build up tension.

“Welcome to the Rebellion” the delusional part of me hopes he’s telling that to Syril tho he could be talking to someone else. Syril will either undergo a redemption arc, remain a delusional pro-Imperial to the end, or will die as an Imperial but realizing he served the wrong cause.

Seeing Ferrix under Imperial occupation and being torn down is heartbreaking.

I really hope the jungle world is Kenari.

I think Kleya might help Andor find Tivik based on how she mentions the Empire is working on a weapon.

I cannot wait to see Mon’s speech and perhaps maybe Saw will get a speech of his own.

One thing is clear: All roads lead to Scarif.

[the-border-outpost]

Thane is a soldier, not a hunter! This particular Buffalo Beetle has escaped with its life, Thane a bit bruised and embarrassed by his failure. It looks like another night of a small bit of their stew. The whole pack is hungry, but the more frustrated they get, the more clumsy they get in hunting. They have tivik back at the outpost, but tivik are small, and the eggs they produce are definitely helpful for protein. Eating the tivik would mean no more eggs. There's enough for each of the Warbred to have a couple eggs and a little of their stew.

BREAKING THE ICE

Guide to Supporting Individuals Affected by Crystal Methamphetamine (Ice)

Section 1: Purpose

This guide is designed to assist parents and caregivers in identifying and addressing crystal methamphetamine (ice) use or exposure among loved ones. It aims to support effective intervention while providing practical tips and strategies for users to prioritize safety.

It is not a substitute for professional drug and alcohol support services but complements them by offering practical insights from an environmental and lived-experience perspective. The illegal nature of this trade fosters a secretive and exploitative environment that aggressively targets individuals until they are left vulnerable and depleted.

The guide seeks to highlight potential risks for new users and bridge knowledge gaps, empowering caregivers to make better use of specialized professional resources.

Section 2: How to Use This Guide

This guide does not delve into the chemical, medical, or physiological aspects of crystal methamphetamine (ice) dependence or addiction. Comprehensive technical information on these topics is available at Better Health https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/  and Direct Line https://www.directline.org.au/ which should be incorporated into your support planning and actions.

Instead, this guide focuses on providing background information on the broader experiences your loved one may face alongside ice use. It offers insights into contextual and environmental factors, as well as an overview of strategies used by drug dealers to lure, retain, and exploit new customers. These insights are drawn from personal discussions and observations of individuals involved at various points in the ice supply chain.

Assuming no prior knowledge, this guide provides foundational information and links to more detailed professional resources. It addresses the multiple and complex factors contributing to entrenched ice use. To maintain clarity, the guide is organized into chapters that individually cover specific topics.

Note: The drug world operates with few rules but carries significant consequences. Drug dealers rarely follow a code of conduct, making the environment unpredictable, often violent, and deeply distressing. Dealers exist on a spectrum: some may appear sensible yet misguided, unaware of the harm they cause; others embody malicious intent, exploiting individuals with devastating effects. Distinguishing between these extremes is often impossible until considerable damage has already occurred.

Pictured above in Figure 1 is a common and widely available brand of glass pipe used for smoking crystal methamphetamine (ice). The legality of their sale remains unclear, yet they are readily found in numerous outlets across both city and suburban areas.

Typically, an ice pipe costs between $20 and $30. However, due to the heating and cooling of glass during use, these pipes often break. They are also prone to damage from accidental drops or contamination by impure batches of ice, necessitating frequent replacement.

While there are other styles of glass pipes—some equipped with features like water filters or coloured lights, costing hundreds of dollars—these are more commonly used by dealers than users. Discovering a child in possession of an ice pipe is a strong indication of drug use, as such pipes serve no legitimate purpose. Although sometimes marketed as 'oil lanterns,' they do not function as such. https://adf.org.au/drug-facts/

The legalities surrounding glass pipe possession are also uncertain. Reports suggest that charges can be based on trace amounts of ice residue found in used pipes. Updated legal guidance on drug possession is available through Victorian Legal Aid. https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/

Additionally, some users resort to repairing glass pipes with industrial propane gas or welding tools. This dangerous practice is often carried out in residential spaces near highly flammable materials, including butane gas, acetone, and the drug 'G.' Such activities significantly amplify risk factors, creating an extraordinarily hazardous environment for all involved.

Suggested Actions

Approach the topic with care and curiosity. Use a ‘curious questioning’ approach to encourage the person to open-up. Avoid arguing against denial; instead, express genuine concern.

Discovering a glass pipe may be enough to conclude the person is using. Repeatedly seeking admissions can damage your relationship and escalate conflict, which is counterproductive at this stage.

Consider whether to confiscate the pipe. This is a challenging decision with no definitive answer. Confiscation might lead to unnecessary expenses as the pipe is easily replaced or push the person toward alternative methods, like injecting. Focus on preserving a supportive relationship, regardless of your choice.

Share age-appropriate educational materials on the risks and harms of ice use, using resources linked in this document.

Encourage and support a visit to a General Practitioner (GP). If a young person refuses, respect their decision but try again after 24–48 hours. Seek professional guidance from services like Direct Line for further assistance.

Allow the person, including children and young adults to attend the GP appointment alone, offering support with transport if needed. This privacy might result in more honest disclosures to the GP, which is crucial at this stage.

Hold a brief (5–10 minute) family meeting with the young person present to foster open communication. Avoid shaming or punitive language, as other family members will also have mixed emotions. It is acceptable to express disappointment, but if they cannot offer support, encourage them to remain silent. They may later become a valuable support person after taking time to cool off and reflect.

Pictured above in Figure 2 is a butane gas jet lighter, costing approximately $50. While any flame source can be used to heat crystal methamphetamine (ice), jet lighters are often preferred due to their intense heat, which burns more of the ice quickly, delivering a larger initial dose. These lighters come in various models and styles.

Jet lighters are not commonly associated with drugs other than ice. Young people using ice may be less cautious about concealing them, as they can be explained away with plausible reasons. However, if found in their possession or belongings without a credible explanation, it may strongly indicate potential drug use. Addressing this directly and respectfully is crucial, as silence can hinder open communication. Building trust is essential for the young person to feel safe discussing their situation without fear of unreasonable reprimand or relationship breakdown.

Managing initial anger and avoiding punitive responses requires thoughtful effort. Engaging with counselling or psychological support can help caregivers navigate these emotions. If professional support is unavailable, debriefing with a trusted friend or ally is recommended.

Providing printed educational materials on the risks and harms of ice use is vital. If the young person has no reasonable need for the jet lighter, confiscating and safely disposing of it is advisable. These lighters are often cheaply made, prone to malfunction, and can pose fire or explosion risks.

Section 4: Pathway to Use and Associated Factors There are various pathways to first-time ice use, including peer pressure, curiosity, gateway drugs, thrill-seeking, or coercion. However, one common pathway involves social media dating apps, where users arrange to meet for ice use during sexual encounters, often referred to as ‘PNP.’ In this context, ice is frequently called ‘GEAR.’

Social media dating apps inherently carry risks, as they involve inviting strangers into private spaces without verifying their character or honesty. These risks include sexual and physical assault, property theft or damage, reputational harm, scams, identity theft, vulnerability to organized crime, extortion, secret recordings, home invasions, false allegations, and compromised security systems. Malicious actors, sometimes operating within larger gangs, exploit these platforms extensively.

Certain groups are particularly vulnerable, such as overseas students, closeted men, elderly individuals with wealth, people with disabilities, mental health concerns, or pre-existing substance abuse disorders. These groups are often targeted repeatedly by coordinated individuals, with criminal acts frequently going unreported.

Social media dating apps also expose users to data tracking, fake profiles (‘catfishing’), and extortion. Encounters believed to be private are sometimes recorded and used for leverage. Additionally, these apps are widely used to advertise and facilitate drug sales, including ice. Icons and hashtags make sourcing drugs alarmingly easy, with first-time users often provided ice for free during sexual encounters.

This section outlines the broader risks and adverse interactions within these environments, leading to compounded dangers when combined. A dedicated section later in this guide will address intravenous ice use, which carries additional severe risks.

Section 5: Associated Risks

This section outlines the risks associated with ice use in various environments. While not exhaustive, it highlights the dangers that may not be immediately apparent, especially when intoxicated or driven by addiction without recognizing its influence.

A major risk arises from the relationships and power imbalance between users and suppliers. To mitigate these risks, avoid using drugs with your supplier and conduct transactions in cash, limiting contact to no more than 15 minutes. Paying in cash reduces traces in your bank records and prevents ongoing access to your phone number via banking details, should you decide to block your supplier.

The combination of euphoria, heightened libido, disinhibition, impaired judgment, and intoxication often leads to high-risk sexual activity. To reduce risks, consider PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a preventive measure against HIV available at MSHC.

Drug dealers face their own pressures, including debts to their suppliers and sustaining personal addiction, often leading to exploitative practices. Risks include:

Adding harmful cutting agents like fentanyl to the drug, increasing the risk of overdose.

Fraudulent sales of inert substances like salt.

Offering larger quantities or credit to encourage dependency.

Introducing other addictive drugs like GHB, ketamine, or heroin, and prescription medications such as Xanax or Valium to assist with comedowns.

Using ice with a dealer often results in exposure to additional substances, initially offered for free. The cost of ice, ranging from $250 to $600 per gram, frequently leads to disputes between users that escalate into violence or reputational damage.

Addiction often necessitates maintaining relationships with multiple dealers to ensure supply, further increasing vulnerability. Some users may foster relationships with dealers, trading errands or favours for reliable access to drugs. This dynamic can result in:

Increased addiction and tolerance, with the dealer gaining significant control over the user.

Exploitation beyond monetary exchanges, such as identity fraud or involvement in illegal activities.

Isolation from family and non-using peers, damaging critical support networks.

Vulnerability to sexual exploitation and extortion, often facilitated by incapacitating drug combinations.

Certain groups, including overseas students, closeted individuals, and those with disabilities or mental health concerns, are particularly at risk. These individuals are often targeted by malicious actors for identity theft, extortion, or other abuses. If you have concerns for someone in this situation, seek advice from Victoria Police.

Drug dealers often lead dangerous lives and require “associates” for safety. This can result in users being exploited to pay bills, obtain rental leases, or engage in identity fraud. Such actions can entangle users in criminal networks, leading to severe consequences and difficulty extracting themselves from the environment. In environments of substance abuse, paranoia, and illegal activities, conflicts frequently occur, sometimes escalating into violence or malicious acts.

Section 6: Intravenous (Injecting) Substance Use

Injecting ice is, in my opinion, the highest-risk drug-related activity. In nearly all cases, injecting once leads to ongoing use, as the resulting high diminishes the effectiveness of smoking ice.

Most individuals initially lack the knowledge to prepare a syringe and administer a dose themselves, often relying on someone else to inject the drug. This introduces additional, complex physical and mental health risks, making professional support essential.

Injecting ice is commonly referred to as “admin,” while terms like “blast” and “slam” are used on social media to describe this practice. Needles are often called “sharps,” “fits,” or “pins.”

The risks associated with injecting ice cannot be overstated. Relying on an unqualified individual to perform a medical procedure such as injecting is inherently dangerous. The person administering the drug is committing a serious offence and may exaggerate their skills, often falsely claiming to have medical training.

Whether a dose is injected correctly or incorrectly, the risks are severe. Each use is akin to Russian roulette, as the effects of the drug and its composition are unpredictable. Every batch of ice is different, and users have no way of knowing what they are injecting. Alarmingly, some individuals are used as “test subjects” to determine the drug’s potency, with addiction driving them to volunteer in exchange for free ice.

The risks outlined earlier in this guide multiply exponentially with injecting. Users often become dependent not only on the drug but also on the person administering it, granting that individual significant control. This dynamic leaves users in a state of extreme vulnerability immediately after injection.

Injecting ice frequently leads to severe drug-induced psychosis, resembling paranoid schizophrenia. While harm minimization techniques exist, the risks associated with injecting ice are so extreme that, in my opinion, they cannot be reduced to an acceptable level, to justify the brief euphoria it provides. However, such is the addiction that it becomes impossible to function, even to remain awake without using.

Section 7: Suggestions to reduce risk

Verify Identity: Before meeting, ensure the person is who they claim to be. Video calls or mutual connections can help confirm their identity.

Limit Personal Information: Avoid sharing sensitive details like your full name, address history, workplace, or financial information. Be cautious about what is visible in your home, such as documents, devices, or valuables.

Secure Valuables: Store important items like wallets, keys, electronics, and personal documents in a locked or hidden space before the meeting.

Use a Neutral Space: If possible, meet in a neutral location (consider booking a cheap Hotel) rather than your home. This reduces the risk of theft or exploitation.

Inform a Trusted Person: Let someone you trust know about the meeting, including the time, location, and details about the person. Arrange a check-in system to ensure your safety.

Control Access: Restrict access to certain areas of your home. Keep doors to bedrooms, offices, or storage spaces locked.

Monitor Devices: Be cautious about allowing access to your Wi-Fi or devices. Change passwords afterward if necessary.

Set Boundaries: Clearly communicate your expectations and boundaries for the encounter. Trust your instincts and do not hesitate to end the meeting if you feel uncomfortable.

Avoid Excessive Intoxication: Stay in control of your faculties. Excessive intoxication can impair judgment and make you more vulnerable to exploitation.

Use Safety Tools: Consider using apps or devices designed for personal safety, such as emergency alert apps or wearable panic buttons.

Be Aware of Red Flags: Watch for signs of manipulation, coercion, or dishonesty. If something feels off, prioritize your safety.

Plan an Exit Strategy: Have a plan in place to leave or ask the person to leave if necessary. Arrange for a friend or service to assist if needed.

While these steps can help mitigate risks, it’s important to recognize that no plan is foolproof. Prioritizing your safety and well-being is paramount

How to Ask Someone to Leave Respectfully

When dealing with a rude, aggressive, or malicious intruder, it is crucial to remain calm and composed. Maintain respectful yet firm communication, as heightened emotions or aggressive behaviour on your part are likely to be mirrored by the intruder, increasing the risk of escalation into violence or aggression. Keeping a steady demeanour can help de-escalate the situation and ensure greater safety.

Stay Calm and Polite: Approach the situation calmly and avoid escalating tension. Use respectful language to maintain civility.

Express Boundaries: Communicate your request directly and assertively while emphasizing your boundaries.

Provide a Reason: If necessary, offer a neutral reason for your request to avoid confrontation.

Offer Assistance: Suggest practical solutions, such as calling a cab or arranging transport, to ease their departure.

Have Backup Support: If the individual resists, consider involving a trusted friend or neighbour to provide additional support.

Stand Firm: If resistance persists, remain firm but composed, reiterating your request without wavering.

Create a Safe Exit Strategy: If you feel unsafe, excuse yourself to a separate room and contact a support service or friend for assistance.

Involve Authorities if Necessary: If the situation escalates and your safety is at risk, do not hesitate to contact local authorities.

Taking proactive measures and maintaining composure in these situations can significantly mitigate risks.

Strategies to Avoid Adverse Outcomes

Monitor Your Guest: Upon entry, ensure your guest places all their belongings neatly in a designated area (e.g., a box). This minimizes the risk of them claiming they "can't find" an item to delay leaving or using the opportunity to search your home under the pretence of looking for something.

Set Clear Limits: When arranging a meeting, clearly communicate your expectations and specify the time you have available (e.g., 3–4 hours). This provides a pre-established reason to conclude the visit without unnecessary complications.

Be Aware of Delivery Methods: Be cautious of individuals who may inadvertently or deliberately administer substances (e.g., liquid G) in ways that could cause extreme intoxication, such as during intimate encounters. This could render you unconscious for an extended period.

Maintain Privacy and Confidentiality: Avoid discussing other individuals you have met for casual encounters. Social media platforms and blogs (e.g., Telegram) are often used for gossip, and your words may be repeated or taken out of context.

Decline Pre-Prepared Drugs: Never accept pre-prepared substances intended for intravenous use (e.g., a "prepared blast"). You cannot verify the contents or dosage, making this a significant safety risk.

Use Sealed Containers: Opt for bottled or canned drinks that you can open yourself to ensure they have not been tampered with.

Consider Security Measures: Installing visible CCTV cameras and informing guests of the areas under surveillance can deter theft. Avoid placing cameras in private areas where intimate encounters may occur unless explicitly discussed and consented to.

Protect Your Drink: Use drink protectors, such as caps or covers, to prevent tampering.

Stay Vigilant: Be alert to unusual tastes, smells, or appearances in your drinks, as these may indicate tampering.

Have a Trusted Companion: In social settings, stay close to a trusted friend who can help monitor your safety.

Final Note Professional support for addiction is not only available but has proven to be highly effective. Recovery is possible, and many people have successfully overcome addiction to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Seeking help is a courageous step, and there are compassionate experts and resources ready to guide and support individuals on this journey.

It is important to remember that change is achievable with the right support and commitment. Building a strong network of professional assistance, trusted relationships, and self-care strategies can create a foundation for recovery and resilience. Progress may take time, but every step forward is a victory worth celebrating.

You are not alone, and there is hope. People can and do recover, finding strength in themselves and in the encouragement of others. With the right tools and determination, brighter days are ahead.

I don’t think we talk about this enough tbh, about the sacrifices Kay also makes against his own kind for the cause.

“You know what you have to do,” says Cassian.

“You know” tells us Kay made a joke instead of acknowledging what he already knows is the solution; “have to” tells us it’s not something he’s choose. He’s trying to avoid it - not really, not actually, but there’s a dark humour to making a joke when both he and Cassian know the real solution.

There’s a clearly intentional (in the filmmaking) brutality to the whirring, the flickering lights, the holding the other droid by the neck. Whatever it takes. Get the information even if it means murder.

This is Kay’s Tivik moment and we don’t talk about it enough.

sol tiviks

[jaqobis]

speaking of tivik

oh my god i did not realize earlier that cassian's contact among saw's people who "has just gone missing" WAS TIVIK

not only did cassian casually lie to jyn about what happened to him, but he really sought out tivik's sister with every intention of looking her in the eye and lying about her brother's death and, hey, can you put in a word for him with saw gerrera? thanks

my mans was not about to let his haunting guilt get in the way of the cause

[andorerso]

I love your last reblog about Jyn and Cassian. I know we usually think Jyn is the one always wanting to leave because it’s easier to leave than to be left one more time which makes sense but specially after Andor I think this fits Cassian too. I guess the rebel alliance is the place where he stayed the most because in a way or another he was always leaving and didn’t have many connections (as it’s implied in Rogue One) because he always felt displaced and was really trying to figure out who he really was. They fit each other so well, I’m going to cry.

mmhm yes, if I'm honest I think both descriptions fit them to an extent. but I guess I always saw Jyn as someone who's greedy for love and affection and thus greedy with the people she loves. she spent a lot of time on her own, disappointed by everyone in her life, so I see why she'd be the one who wants to leave at first, but I think that's more pre-RO Jyn and her character arc in a way was also about finding a home again. people she can call family. and not just Cassian, but she got along amazingly fast with Bodhi, Baze and Chirrut as well, and even made truce with Kay. she's close to all of them by the end of the movie. I could still see her having doubts and fears but I think ultimately, unless something happens or someone (coughs Cassian) tries to push her away, she'd try to hold onto them with an iron fist while also trying to appear super casual about it. she doesn't want to admit how much they mean to her but they do.

with Cassian, I'll admit I was thinking more about his first backstory as it's still the default to me, but yes, Andor fits too. with the first backstory though, I see a man who's been isolated and lonely for so long, who's been playing roles and putting on masks for the better part of his life, that he just isn't really used to anyone knowing him, his real self. he probably feels like he barely knows his real self. and I think he spent most of his life leaving people behind or sacrificing them for the cause (like Tivik) and he's used to that. he comes back for Jyn but I think she's an exception he didn't anticipate. I think his life as a spy didn't really allow him to form attachments or stay in one place for long, and I think even in the rebellion not many people actually know him all that well (exceptions being Kay, I like to think Draven, maybe Melshi). so he's definitely not used to being known or staying. I think even with the Rogue One team, he'd be slower to allow them close to him.

but on the flipside, I think once he gets over that, he like Jyn would be clinging to them just as fiercely. so conclusion... they're definitely once again mirroring each other

[melyzard]

Okay, I’ve finished up the climax of the story, but it ran 12k long, so I cut it in half. Here’s part one of the end of i might know my heart, @kotaface!

It’s time to run.

Tivik’s mouth dropped open. “Are you insane?”

Very possibly, Cassian thought indifferently.
