🌤️ for that ask game :)

omg hiiiiiiiii static! <3

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.

congrats. this is pretty much my fave. from Aphelion:

Vel takes his silence as defeat, and perhaps takes pity on him, too, because she sighs, softens. “Getting off world in a surreptitious way is even trickier than getting you bacta… but it can be done. As for the datapad… that shouldn’t be a problem.” She shakes her head, squints at him in clear confusion. “Why? Why do this? It seems like a lot of risk… even for you.” “Wouldn’t you do it for Cinta?” he counters without thinking. Vel gives him an incredulous look and Cassian can hear his heart pound in his ears. “So it’s like that, huh?” “No,” Cassian answers slowly, voice hoarse and low. He swallows. “But it could be.”

ask me about my WIPs!

Frost!!! What about ✨ for this fic game? And anything else you've been dying for someone to ask you.

omg hiiiiii static! <3

✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time

lmao can i answer all of them? like seriously.

okay okay but in all seriousness I'm gonna have to go with The Violet Hour by caramelle (again). specifically because the feeling i had when i heard the first notes of the piece that Jyn requests Cassian to play was just incredible. it was such a moving and tender story, and the piece is not revealed until end, via a youtube link in the author's note, so you have all this context to go along with it... it's such a lovely reveal for a lovely fic. and hearing that for the first time was so, so lovely.

I just love him so much.

Please do tell us what your thoughts are on melshi's head rubbing gesture 🥺

Dear friend, it would be my pleasure. <3<3<3

This question comes from a tag I left on this beautiful gif set from @staticwaffles, where I referenced how I overthink the moment when Melshi rubs the back of his head - after Cassian gets called out for resting by Kino and Melshi prompts him to take the drill and get back to work.

Per generous request, I now present you with a non-exhaustive list of ways I have interpreted this gesture:

Pain/exhaustion: we Melshi lovers have long made much of the signs that Melshi is dealing with chronic Narkina-5 effects in his left hand in particular (see gif sets where he climbs or holds on with his right hand only); and throughout this particular assembly sequence in 1.08, there are also a number of other moments where Melshi appears to be quietly wincing or breathing heavily (see low-quality screen shot below). Perhaps part of the point of Cassian getting called out for a moment of rest and Melshi handing him a way to look busy is that Melshi knows Cassian hasn't yet learned how to hide the signs that he's feeling the toll of the work.

Worry/protectiveness: speaking of catching Kino's attention, we know Melshi has intimate knowledge of what can happen if you get on Kino's shit list. I like the idea that maybe Melshi can sense Cassian's starting to push Kino's buttons, and while Melshi has already given Kino his own kind of implicit permission to work off steam by throwing Melshi around, he's not keen on watching Cassian get pushed into walls (and maybe he can already sense the arrangement wouldn't work in the same way for the two of them: it's very dangerous to corner Cassian).

Confirmation: I personally enjoy the version of events where some part of Melshi figures out "Keef" is a pseudonym, and since it takes Cassian a few beats to respond to Melshi using "Keef" to try to get his attention in this scene, I think it's possible to read this moment as the first time Melshi's guessing it's not his real name (and thinking about everything else that might imply).

Grim habit: I also can't avoid noticing that the head-rubbing gesture resembles one half of the on-program position, and I'm both heartbroken and compelled by the possibility that this shows us a Melshi who has half-internalized the command to assume a posture of compliance automatically in times of stress or under scrutiny from authorities: maybe it's even started to feel perversely soothing. It's significant, then, that Melshi's gesture is only half the position: an early sign that despite the cynicism and pessimism of the intellect he's cultivated to protect his mind from believing in a way out, part of him remains hopefully/hopelessly open to the appeal of Cassian's defiance.
