the way you draw barriss makes me so happy shes so pretty
thank you!! here have another drawing of my daughter who's never done anything wrong in her life
I love how s2 of Andor shows us how all the sacrifices the Imperial characters make for the Empire are ultimately worthless. Syril, Dedra, and Partagaz all have different variations on the same ending. and to them Krennic is the big bad guy who represents the Empire but then in Rogue One we learn that essentially he’s in the same situation: giving everything to the Empire and it amounting to nothing in the end.
I would have been a lot more okay with the way Cinta died if killing off black and brown characters for the sake of the development of white characters weren't already a pattern for Andor.
I see the tragic sort of irony in the fact that Cinta seems almost invincible in the face of danger from the Empire— she's so alert and competent and ready for anything— of course it could only be an accident that she wouldn't see coming. And I see the interest in the concept of there being a death on this mission not because of the Imperial crackdown the group was afraid of, but because a green kid could only see that outside danger instead of the even more likely dangers of within-group panic and disorganization.
But it all rings hollow when over and over and over, the writers of Andor kill off darker-skinned characters just so the lighter-skinned ones can have their character development moments. Taramyn and Gorn dying first and fastest at Aldhani, Birnok being introduced just to help Cassian plan before he's killed off immediately so Kino and Melshi can get their moments instead. Then tossing Nurchi in there just to die just because, I guess. The way Clem is mostly there for his death to be a catalyst to Maarva and Cassian.
And so all I can think about watching this scene is wow, what a surprise, we killed off the brown girlfriend so the white one can have her moment of tragedy and eloquent monologue. It makes me furious, it makes me sad, it makes me bitter and resentful that this just keeps happening and happening in a show where I KNOW the writers are capable of doing better and yet they CHOOSE not to every. single. time.
Rest assured that even after years of this, Maul still calls her "Kenobi"

Last year I made the young version of this ship in my sapphic au depicting them in their first encounter as a one night stand in a shitty hotel room before TPM... And now the diptych is complete ! Here they are near the end of their relationship just before ANH :) two old ladies living together in a shack on tatooine (link to a post explaining how we got here with obimaul)
There is still plenty to explore with these two, a lot of angst mainly fjfkkf but they do have a happy ending, and here it is ! Well at least Maul does
Process below and AU recap vvv
Anyway I thought maybe adding these quick overview of the au at the end might be easier than to link to the og post
Every time I draw Maul I give her a cute little face, that I then have to cover up with tattoos >:( it gives her kinda the same expression every time and my life is hell
I'm back in the fucking building again, happy may the 4th everyone
PS : never forget this is t4t <3
